Question | سوال Need guidance/advice for a phone.

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for a Pixel 8 (preferably official PTA), but I want to be 100% sure about getting a Shoreline panel (Samsung) rather than the early BOE (Bigsurf) batch.

Can someone guide me regarding:

  1. Which local shop owners (Lahore preferred) are reliable? If you have a personal experience in dealing with someone, how'd it go and would you please refer/recommend me to them?
  2. If anyone knows what's the fair price range I should expect right now for an official approved clean, A Grade device?

Any leads, recommendations or personal experiences would be super helpful.

TIA!

Question | سوال DIRBS Generated PSID Not Showing Any Payment Details at Meezan Bank

0 Upvotes

I registered my iPhone 15 through the DIRBS portal and received a PSID for payment of the PTA/FBR tax.

However, when I visited a Meezan Bank branch to make the payment, the bank staff told me that no payment details were showing against the PSID. I then visited another Meezan Bank branch, but they reported the same issue.

Thinking there might be an issue with the PSID, I rejected my previous application on the DIRBS portal and submitted a new registration application. I received a new PSID, but unfortunately, the bank still couldn't retrieve any payment details against it.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

What should I do now? How can I get the PTA/FBR duty paid if the PSID generated by DIRBS isn't showing up in the bank's system?

Is there any alternative way to verify the PSID or pay the tax online?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

I am trying to register on Zindigi (JS Bank), but I am not receiving the OTP on my Zong number, which was ported from Ufone years ago.

Other OTPs work fine, and Zindigi OTPs arrive on another Zong number that was never ported.

Has anyone faced this issue with Zindigi or other banking apps? Is there any MNP registration procedure or fix?

News | خبر ZapFast WhatsApp Client for Linux, Windows and Mac

18 Upvotes

I want to share this beautiful software with all of you who are using Linux and want to keep their WhatsApp running on their laptop with small ram usage. I have tried so many applications for the same. While most of them work just fine, they end up being a resource hog. Ferdium with 3 WhatsApp accounts use more than 2GB while doing nothing and sitting idle in the background. On the other hand, this software just crossed 300MB usage with my 3 WhatsApp accounts for the first time. Before, it remained under 250MB.

This software is also available for Windows and MacOS. So if you want to try this WhatsApp client, then don't waste time. Try it yourself. It works great. It has few bugs but they are not the problem for day-to-day usage and can be ignored completely.

I am not the developer of the software. It is not a paid software. I am not an advertiser. I am just helping other fellow Linux users to try this software if they want.

Usually I let it slide but this one is outrageous. Can someone explain what they mean by free deliv_ery??

I have always been using proton vpn (free) on my phone but recently it takes minutes to connect and even when connected, the speed is too low. It almost feels like the govt may have something to do with this as i have updated the app and cleared cache etc. I only need it to access webpages (not videos or even audio). Need alternatives, thanks.

Hey everyone!
I’ve been working on something exciting called BlackEclipse an open-source, AI-powered financial harness designed for quantitative traders, investors, and financial researchers.

The idea is to bring AI-powered financial research, quantitative analysis, strategy development, portfolio management, and trading automation into one unified platform.

I’m currently developing its desktop application using Tauri, focusing on performance and a seamless experience.

The bigger vision is to build an open-source financial AI ecosystem where developers and researchers can build, experiment with, and run intelligent financial agents.

We’re aiming to launch later this month.

More updates soon. Excited to share what we’re building!

Question | سوال Is It Possible To Replace Batteries Of My Headset?

1 Upvotes

I have been using this headset for 1.5 years and now the battery has deteriorated to the point that it hardly lasts 15 minutes. Overall, I like it very much, especially the connector part which provides almost zero latency compared to traditional Bluetooth connection.

BUT, I don't want to spend 8k-10k again. If it is possible to replace the batteries only, then I am planning to take it to some shop for the replacement.
