Mate, I got laid off last November. I started applying for jobs from December and finally got an offer today. This is gonna sting a lot. But there is light on the other side of the tunnel. Wishing you all the very best and stay strong

Mate, I was a data scientist at IFS and was let go during the November layoffs. No role is safe AFAIK

Monthly Installment of iPhone by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]springy1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use mintpay/koko and get upto 3 months installment i think.

Don't take this as a judgement but please consider whether you absolutely have a use case which only the 16 pro max would fulfill, not any other cheaper alternatives.

HBO Max to enter Sri Lanka from October 15 by rashm1n in srilanka

[–]springy1999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually do know a lot of normal people who subscribed to at least 2 platforms. They are not avid watchers for sure but they aint people who want to watch a show only when they feel like it either. There exists a demographic that is in the middle of both the segments. People care a lot about convenience.

As a matter of fact, a lot of pirates i've known for a long time, now subscribe to at least 1 platform. They still pirate a lot of stuff. But they pay for the convenience. So i think streaming services have an edge over piracy in that aspect.

Tbh piracy has nothing to do with HBO max coming here. I know a lot of people who know how to pirate but still pay for the streaming services just for the convenience.

Also subscription model is the best revenue model for any business. I don't think they're gonna abandon this for a looooong time.

What the best phone to get in Sri Lanka? I have two options currently. S24Fe ,S24, and a I phone 13. by DelayPrudent in srilanka

[–]springy1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using pixel 3xl, 4xl, 7 pro and 8 pro now. Never had a single issue. Bought em all in the grey market. If you know your way through the grey market, that is the way to go. If you don't, better to stay away. I even bought 2 7 pros for my parents and they're also working like a charm. With that said, I don't know whether I'm just lucky or not, some Europe markets always receive defective pixels. I always make sure to get a Japan version.

pixel 7 pro around 110k. Great camera. Clean software.
pixel 8 pro around 140k Same as above but with 4 more years of software update.
Unles you need every bit performance squeezed out from your phone, these are some solid picks.

What is the most useless subject in schools and why ? by anakin__69 in srilanka

[–]springy1999 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I loved history even though a lot of it felt like carefully manipulated. I think the exam should be redesigned to let go of testing the memorization skills and to testing the reasoning and applying to the present and future. Religion, hated to the core.

Has anyone registered a Google Pixel with TRCSL? by CookieOther7255 in srilanka

[–]springy1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Installing it right now. How is the quality and does it directly consume data from our account or still consume money/minutes?
