    Adani group, an Evil corp?

    Maybe, but he is our evil guy :) Every country needs a few. Are Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Bechtel evil? They most prob are, but they have kept the US military machine running. Without them, US will be no different from Somalia (or Canada).

    How does sending emails as different entities from one E-mail address work?

    You are probably overthinking this. This kind of arrangement is quite common in large organization. Any mail sent to info@xyz.in (or support@xyz.in) will be received by an application which will store it in a database (and create a case). The case will then get assigned to a customer service...

    Health & Fitness 10 year old girl dies after eating cake ordered online for her Birthday

    Saccharine is not sugar. It doesn't affect blood sugar or insulin levels the way sugar does. It is, however, a neurotoxin.

    Some interesting videos i saw today on YT about usa

    You can produce videos like this about any society. You need to find out who is doing it and for what reason. Techniques like this, broadly classified under critical theory, were developed about 2000 years ago by a cult in southern Europe. The cult's main purpose was to destroy and take over the...

    12V 60W PSU

    Seconding Heisen on the overthinking part. Electronically, computers are a noisy place. An external 12V power supply, however bad, is unlikely to make things worse. Unless you notice a difference in output quality, there is no need to worry. A note about using a higher rated power supply. Most...

    12V 60W PSU

    There are no 'grounds' for 5V and 12V. There is a common ground and then there are 5V and 12V lines. Without a common ground, 5V and 12V have no meaning.

    Extremely lost and confused between Electrical Engineering and IT

    For a young person, the only advice I can give is to follow the money. Unless you are a gifted one destined for immortality, the path of penury is not for you. In any case, if you were so certain about your calling, you wouldn't be asking for advice. Napoleon didn't go to a career counsellor...

    info needed on IP address tracking

    20G97 should be the IOS build number (most likely 16.x.x). I am using ios 17.2.1 and the X-mailer in the mails is "iPhone Mail (21C66)". It is one of the many gmail servers. He BSing you. Ask him to share the full mail header. We can try decoding it. If he shares the header, look for the...

    The US sues Apple for monopolistic practices

    I am assuming this is sarcasm. Google is far more sneaky when it comes to user data. A slightly older article about their data greed. https://tech.slashdot.org/story/15/10/06/1923232/porsche-chooses-apple-over-google-because-google-wants-too-much-data When will google let me delete the youtube...

    Tata's Dholera semiconductor plant may roll out India's first indigenous chip by 2026

    "ITIF’s report found that, quite frankly, this stuff is hard." Did someone get paid to write this? "But if ITIF is right, it won't see India emerge as a top-tier competitor alongside other chipmaking nations" Yup, a young boy joining his high school team wont be playing alongside Virat and...

    BRICS countries going forward with de-dollarization!!

    Of course they will create problems, and not just in military purchases. Dropping the dollar is leaving the empire. It is insurgency and there will be blowback. Unfortunately for India, all the US has to do is to write a check to Pak. Anyway, de-dollarization is faaaar away. Wake me up when an...

    Car & Bike Which is good for your spine - Car or motorcycle?

    Shouldn't the question be: "Which is worse for your spine - Car or motorcycle?" Some more options: - Chairs (dining/work) - Poor movement skills (esp lifting with the back instead of legs)

    Just did a search on 'paytm ads'. https://www.themediaant.com/digital/paytm-app-advertising They advertise rates for 'Banner Ads', 'Video Ads' and 'RoadBlock Ads' RBI has my permission to sink them :) Haven't used it in a long time. Maybe things have changed. I remember seeing multiple rows...

    Peeps using PayTM, where are you planning on migrating to?

    I used to use paytm wallet but stopped after they screwed up my KYC. Besides, they were slowly turning into an ad agency. Deleted the app and never missed it. Question for UPI users. Why would you use paytm? UPI has been payed for by the govt. You shouldn't let a company use UPI service to push...

    PHP, Python or C?

    Learning programming IS NOT learning a programming language. Most problems that programmers face/solve are independent of any language. All these three are good options if you want to learn programming. If you have already started with PHP, why this doubt?

    Peeps using PayTM, where are you planning on migrating to?

    Holy f.... Is this guy Sam Bankman Fried's cousin? I am glad the RBI is manned by 60 year olds, and not some 30 year old hipsters impressed by every shiny thing. Financial systems have always been regulated and rightly so. If you don't wish to comply, make a dating app. Bernie Madoff and Sam...
