I’ll take this advice when I have the money 😀

I may keep 1m, that’s way more than what I need to live this life and donate the rest to hospitals and education institutions.

May be or may be not.

But it’s the reality, people work at India get 8 to 10% rise every year as an average. How about people in the USA?

I would say it is fine. It would increase the wages in India and at some point the pay would equal to the person who lives in the USA.

Location based pay shouldn’t be there, as I have seen the differences in real life.

A bunch of people works on a ship, all part of same team does same job. But their pay is based on their home location.

People who came from Nordic region earn more and people from east Asia earns way less, though the job is exactly same.

I started using it for the Android development community. Then for messaging.

Now only for bots 😔

Do people still visit android police? Forced to disable ad-blocker, so I just ignore the site completely…

When you buy something that’s going to be with you till your last day, it should give happiness. You shouldn’t be anxious and sleepless at night because of that.

S2 the king. I guess it would run android 13.

Creative sbs 370 2.1 speakers; using it for 19 years. The sound quality is the same as day 1.

The wired remote stopped working after 15 years, so I cut it off and connected the wires.

Morning: I drop my kid at school & return home. Travel distance: 9Km Time: 20 to 30 mins, depending on traffic.

Evening: I pick my wife from her work, then pick my kid on the way home. Travel distance: 19km Time: 40 to 50 mins, again depending on traffic

The average speed is 20+ kmph.

I work from home.

I would do the same 👍

What did you do?

I use Google sheets on my personal projects.

• tracking expenses
• tracking my ride logs from my ev

Google app script pickup email received from banks and update the transaction automatically. I modify it using web based form of needed.

The ev company has api. It will be called on periodic basis to get the ride details and update the sheets. I use telegram api to interact, by triggering the api webhook, getting charts, etc.,

Initially I setup OCR to extract the ride information, so the process was like

• send an image that has ride details to a telegram bot
• the bot saves the image in Google drive
• the image would be opened in docs
• the text would get extracted and stored in Google sheets as data
• edits can be done using telegram webapp
• sheets provide charts for analysis
• built a process using sheets to handle telegram bot for maintaining users, approvals, etc.,

It would be hard if I have used any other services… setting up OCR preparing charts etc.,

I’m from India and there are 18 government approved languages. I know only one and I feel difficulties in finding the right content in English or in my mother tongue.

Perspective from India:

28% GST for spare parts of electric vehicles and the companies play monopoly by raising the price of the spare parts by 5x to 10x.

If we don’t use original parts sold by them and do maintenance outside the vehicle will not be covered under warranty.

There were many fire accidents due to the hot climate, which requires the warranty in place.

It’s kind of a nightmare to own an electric vehicle in India.

It’s good for someone who drives for more than 50km in a day. They can save on fuel, which will be higher than all other costs. The fossil fuel is 10x higher covering the same distance in an electric vehicle.

Bringing a used laptop will not be an issue. I have asked my friends to buy a new mobile phone and brought it to India with 0 customs tax. But check if they are okay to carry 1kg as she may plan to carry full luggage limit.

But, spend a little more and buy a better one. $30 is what 3% of the air ticket price?

A watch, when I was 15.

I had a Redmi phone made by Xiaomi. They conducted a giveaway on Twitter and I won it. I was shocked by seeing it, as it was the first time I won anything.

Received the same model phone in a month time. I gave it to my sister.

My phone was stolen after 2 months. So I felt like if you don’t spend money and “earn” something, it will leave you soon.
