    Amazon third party sellers

    I noticed this too. A lot of the chinese stuff have 4 star ratings but when we click on item info there's more 1/2/3 star ratings than 4 star. How did they get 4 star ratings then? It's the same with seller rating. Click on the seller info, the last 12 months rating is mostly negative. But...

    Clear western axis bias here. They want to restrict trade of chips only to western allied countries.

    Where can I watch the old hit Hollywood movies and TV shows from 70's to 2000's era (uncensored versions)

    Sony Pictures on Prime has it but I don't know if all series and episodes are available. I think they have censored some cuss words and cut some scenes now...

    Where can I watch the old hit Hollywood movies and TV shows from 70's to 2000's era (uncensored versions)

    I actually had entire boxsets of tv shows bought from walmart but the quality of dvd's is rubbish. The dvd's have lost their reflective coating now and don't show up in the drive. Yeah, saw this with old 16:10 square content being fit to 16:9 screens. The video is zoomed and cropped for led...

    India’s ‘Make in India’ Faces Collateral Damage

    Not from China but from Germany or some EU country. My point is we don't do such advanced machinery here. We just take the shortcut method of getting licensing from foreign brands and feel proud of it. We won't go the extra mile to learn how something is made and make it here. We even can't...

    Where can I watch the old hit Hollywood movies and TV shows from 70's to 2000's era (uncensored versions)

    Felt like watching old movies and series like Police Academy, Die Hard, Gilligan's Island, I dream of Jeanie, Addam's family etc but streaming options all are censored even for adult Indians. No sexy stuff for the most populous country. Any idea where to watch/ get these old movies/tv shows...

    India’s ‘Make in India’ Faces Collateral Damage

    Sorry to sadden you a bit more. Those plastic molds, all are being designed in China now on advanced CNC machines so they have better finish and fit together well. We buy plastic molding machines from China. They buy high end machines from Germany and Japan and mass copy it and sell it to us...

    All OS [Tip]Turn off WhatsApp without turning off the internet

    His question was, what if the ip address resolves to some random chinese isp or ip address. And that was my answer. I know proxy and dns are different but you know even a proxy has its own dns server to resolve internet queries? If I have a proxy with address 10.100.10.100 for example and my...

    All OS [Tip]Turn off WhatsApp without turning off the internet

    It's like setting your postal carrier to some random guy who can inspect all your post instead of a real postman. If you set it to my fake online dns address, i can push a security certificate to your phone or device and then use that certificate to log everything coming/going to your device. I...

    India’s ‘Make in India’ Faces Collateral Damage

    ha, maybe this will give our sleeping bureaucrats (the main guys pulling the strings in administration behind the ministers) some push to develop our own infrastructure for these minerals or even push us towards more nuclear power plants. There won't be need of too many EV's if we make electric...

    Narayana Murthy says Indian youth should work 70 hours a week

    I wonder if the old men will complain of the 30 religious holidays in a year next. All countries only have a handful of holidays like 3-4 days in an entire year, so we need parity in India to build the country. More holidays will make the workforce more lazy. /s Saw this study on reddit. The...

    Work toxicity on the rise

    Last 75-100 years, poor people always had 3 or more kids. Even being in abject poverty didn't stop them from having 3+ kids. I don't see this changing anytime in next 75-100 years since they will get subsidies and other incentives from the govt. Poor uneducated women don't have any choice in...

    [CES 2025] This obsession with Pro and Max has to stop

    ^ Ultimately it boils down to this. Push out 10 different Ultra/ Pro/ Note/ Max models and confuse everyone including techies and profit. Plus push YT channels to market/push the crappy products and earn even more. Anything for the bottom line.

    Work toxicity on the rise

    You should have mentioned about the future then. Well, I'm no saint or don't have special powers, so I cannot say how long into the future people will keep having 3 kids. Even that lancet study is a bit too much. Lets take it at face value. Even then India's population will be the highest in the...
