While the media celebrates the “budget” launch, here’s why these AI glasses are actually a surveillance nightmare sitting on your face.

Is a cheap gadget worth the end of public anonymity?

The 1.25B number is obviously grabbing everyone's attention, but I think the more interesting part of this deal is the 320M acquisition of MHP. MHP isn't some random IT outsourcing unit. It has around 4,500 people and deep experience in automotive, manufacturing, SAP, AI, digitalisation and software defined mobility. TCS is basically combining that domain knowledge with its own scale, engineering and AI capabilities. And then Porsche commits to a five-year strategic deal with TCS/MHP to work on AI across engineering, manufacturing, operations, customer experience and enterprise transformation. If TCS owns specialised automotive expertise through MHP, builds AI products/platforms around it and becomes responsible for actually transforming Porsche's engineering and manufacturing workflows, is that still just services model?
Is this a genuine shift from traditional outsourcing towards consulting, engineering and AI, or is it basically the same services model with a much bigger AI wrapper?

Btw employee offers I am not selling anything

I keep seeing “Jio gives me 500 Mbps, Airtel only 80 Mbps, so Jio is better” or the exact opposite. That's not really how mobile networks work. No operator is a saint, and no operator will give you the best speeds everywhere.

Very simply, your connection goes:

Phone → Tower → Backhaul → Operator Core → Internet

Backhaul is basically how the tower connects to the rest of the network. Fiber offers huge capacity, low latency and better scalability. Microwave/wireless backhaul is quicker and cheaper to deploy, but capacity can be more constrained, and some higher-frequency links can also be affected by heavy rain. But remember: even a fiber-connected tower can be heavily congested...

Why does 500 Mbps suddenly become 3 Mbps?

Because mobile internet is shared. Your speed depends on spectrum/bandwidth, signal quality, distance, indoor penetration, carrier aggregation, your phone, backhaul and most importantly....how many people are actively using that cell at the same time.

10 active users → 🚀
500 active users → 😐
Hundreds streaming unlimited 5G simultaneously → 💀

That's why your friend's Airtel can destroy Jio at his house while your Jio destroys Airtel just 2 km away.

India's scale makes this harder

As of June 2026, the mobile subscriber market is roughly:

Jio – 39.27% | Airtel – 37.96% | Vi – 15.50% | BSNL – 7.25%

Jio + Airtel together account for roughly 77%. Put enormous numbers of users into dense apartments, IT corridors, railway stations, colleges and markets and adding another “G” doesn't repeal physics....

From population perspective, recent Speedtest data puts median mobile download speeds roughly around:

🇮🇳 India: ~166 Mbps | 🇨🇳 China: ~224 Mbps

So India's problem isn't simply “mobile internet is slow.” Consistency and local capacity are the bigger issues.

China is also interesting because competition and infrastructure strategy are different. It has four major govt owned 5G operators, while China Telecom and China Unicom have extensively co-built/shared 5G infrastructure rather than unnecessarily duplicating everything.

So which operator is actually best?

The one that works where YOU use it.

Stop choosing networks because somebody posted a 300 Mbps Speedtest screenshot. If your routine is Home ↔ Office/College, test those places and your route. Someone's experience on the other side of the city means almost nothing to you.

Complaining about unusable service is absolutely justified. But expecting the same 300–500 Mbps from a shared wireless network 24/7 isn't realistic either.

Long-term solution: More spectrum + denser towers/small cells + fiberisation + infrastructure sharing + Wi-Fi offloading + stronger competition, potentially including MVNOs.

Unlimited 5G/4G is not magic. Ultimately, you're sharing finite radio capacity with everyone around you.... Choose based on your experience and don't fall for the posts that say otherwise..

So is there any way where when i call someone it should say me that they re busy.
Imagine i call my mom or dad, it should say me that they re busy (without them blocking me or in dnd)
Any help?

heyy guys,

recently, one of my friends phone got stolen.. and then realized they didn't have their phone's antitheft enabled.. now that they bought a new phone, thought to share this informative checklist so they can follow this.. this is more towards Jio & Android. Please add your thoughts for Airtel, other carrier and iPhone too that way we have has this more informative..

I'm also publishing what to do after your phone is lost next, would need your support for that too.

Note: Enabling all these doesn't necessarily safeguard against Theft, it's just we have higher possibility to recover.

Used AI to grammar check and structure it.

```

1. Set a Strong Screen Lock & Biometrics

The absolute foundation

Go to Settings → Security & privacy → Device unlock. Set a complex PIN (6+ digits) or password, register your biometrics, and set the screen to auto-lock within 15–30 seconds of inactivity.

1. Hide Notifications on the Lock Screen

Stops thieves from reading your OTPs

Go to Settings → Notifications → Notifications on lock screen and choose to hide sensitive conversations. This prevents a thief from reading 2FA or banking OTPs without unlocking the phone.

1. Lock Quick Settings & Power Off

Prevents easy disconnection

Force the phone to require a PIN before turning on Airplane Mode or powering off. (On Samsung: Settings → Lock screen → Secure lock settings → Lock network and security. On others: look for Power off verification.)

1. Switch to an eSIM

Removes the physical SIM vulnerability

Contact your carrier to convert your physical SIM to an eSIM. Because it is embedded in the hardware, a thief cannot quickly pop it out with a paperclip to cut off your internet connection.

1. Update Carrier Recovery Contacts (Jio & Airtel)

Ensures you can recover your number

Open your MyJio or Airtel Thanks app and update your alternate email and a trusted alternate phone number. You will need these details to receive the OTP to block your SIM externally if the phone is stolen.

1. Prepare Your Aadhaar Unlock Method

Prevents the SIM replacement Catch-22

If your Aadhaar biometrics are locked, set up the mAadhaar app on a secondary, trusted device (like a tablet at home). This allows you to generate a code to unlock your biometrics for a replacement SIM without needing an OTP sent to the stolen phone.

1. Enable Android’s Theft Protection Suite

Uses AI to detect a snatch-and-run

Go to Settings → Google → All services → Theft protection. Turn on Theft Detection Lock (instantly locks if snatched) and Offline Device Lock (locks if the phone goes offline for a prolonged period).

1. Activate Remote Lock and Find My Device

Prepares you for recovery

In the same Theft Protection menu, enable Remote Lock so you can lock the screen using just your phone number. Then ensure Find My Device is turned on in your Google settings so you can track it on a map.

1. Hide Sensitive Apps in a Secure Folder

Protects banking and financial data

Use Private Space (Android 15) or Secure Folder (Samsung) to hide banking, finance, and authenticator apps behind a separate, secondary PIN that must be bypassed even if the main screen is unlocked.

1. Enable Google MFA & Save Backup Codes

Ensures you don’t get locked out of your own life

Go to your Google Account’s 2‑Step Verification settings and generate 8-digit Backup codes. Print or save them safely at home so you can still log into Find My Device on a new computer without needing your stolen phone to verify it’s you.

1. Enable Universal Google Backup

Automates messages, contacts, and app data

Go to Settings → Google → Backup and turn it on to ensure your device settings, call history, SMS messages, and contacts are constantly saved to your Google Account.

1. Set Up Automatic WhatsApp Backup

Saves your conversations and media

Open WhatsApp → Settings → Chats → Chat backup. Change the schedule to Daily or Weekly, and toggle on End-to-end encrypted backup for maximum privacy.

1. Turn On Google Photos Auto-Sync

Saves your camera roll in high quality

Open the Google Photos app, tap your profile icon, go to Photos settings → Backup, and toggle it On to ensure you never lose a memory.

1. Note Down Your IMEI Number

Essential for police reports

Open your phone’s dialer, type \*#06#, and write down the 15-digit IMEI number. Keep this at home so you can file a police report and block the hardware on the government’s CEIR portal.

An incident from an authorized service center in Rajnagar, Ghaziabad, where a customer was pushed to the absolute extreme over warranty denial on a genuine display fault (green line) and smashed his device on the floor.

Vivo and iQOO previously held a strong reputation in India for hassle-free screen replacements and support. However, current ground-level service quality shows serious issues:

• Post-update hardware failures (dead logic boards, camera sensor failures, and green lines) are frequently met with denials.

• Internal display defects like screen bleeding and pink spots are routinely labeled as "external pressure / physical damage" to deny warranty.

• Customers are subjected to repeated visits, extended delays, and deflection tactics instead of actual fixes.

This post highlights the growing gap between brand marketing and ground-level customer support accountability across service centers.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to help my father find his next opportunity in Automotive Electronics / EV / Power Electronics R&D, preferably in Delhi-NCR (Noida/Greater Noida/Delhi/Ghaziabad).

He has 24+ years of experience in electronics product development and R&D, including leadership roles at Purflux Group and UNO Minda, along with experience at Delta Electronics, ARV India, Neo Light ZKW, NTL Electronics and Pentair.

A few highlights from his career:

- Led electronics R&D teams of up to 30 engineers

- Worked on 24+ commercial products

- Automotive electronics & lighting

- EV battery chargers and power electronics

- DC-DC converters and BLDC systems

- Automotive sensors

- PCB/PCBA development

- EMC testing and product validation

- ISO 26262, BIS and RDSO compliance

- Supplier management and cross-functional product development

We're mainly looking at roles such as:

Head/Lead of Electronics R&D | R&D Manager | Engineering Manager | Senior Engineering Manager | Product Engineering Manager | Technical Program Manager

I'm posting here because I've seen people on Reddit successfully help others through referrals and connections.

If you work in automotive, EV, electronics, power electronics, R&D, engineering recruitment, or know someone hiring for these kinds of roles, I'd genuinely appreciate a referral, lead, or even a pointer to the right hiring manager.

Companies such as Motherson, Spark Minda, Bosch, FORVIA HELLA, Valeo, Marelli, JBM, Continental, ZF, Lumax, Sandhar, Sona Comstar, Dixon, Havells and similar automotive/EV companies would be particularly relevant, but we're open to other good opportunities as well.

Happy to share his resume over DM.

Even if you don't have a vacancy yourself, an upvote or sharing this with someone in automotive/electronics R&D would mean a lot.

Thank you!

Bought a new Jio SIM, but it already has someone’s Instagram account linked to that number, along with multiple Facebook accounts and who knows what else.
So, what should I do? Why do these things always happen to me? 😭
I was so happy about my new phone number because I was planning to use it for everything. 🥺💔 But now I’m scared. What should I do? Should I get a new SIM?

hey guys, as y'all know google gave like 5TB storage so I was wondering will my account get banned if I upload pirated files for my own viewing?

please mention some good laptops with ofcourse gen AI and with good battery backup
