Very valid and much required proposal in the parliament to introduce tokenisation in #India [watch towards the end of the video].

The proposal was also explained in an enviable manner by Raghav Chadha, MP.

First impression on using #iPadOS26 Public Beta:- The icons look way too bloated on the entry-level iPad. An option to scale down the entire display, like in the Mac, would be really good. @apple.com #apple #ios26

Does anyone else think the toolbar buttons in MacOS 26 have too much shadow? Or is it only me? #macos #macos26 #apple @apple.com

Beautiful piece from @bridgetcarey.bsky.social. Couldn’t agree more with everything she said here about #iOS updates and #LiquidGlass design. 😊

In spite of the holistic upper hand it had in this conflict, it seems abundantly clear that IAF needs to invest in better EW and situational awareness capabilities, as well as modernise its squadrons faster. #indiapakistanconflicts

Just updated to #iOS18.4 and it’s a completely broken experience with Siri now. I used to have my language set to English (US) and had access to the new Siri. But after the update, I’m getting the old Siri, and that too totally broken. Even resetting the Apple Intelligence did not help.

See how magnificent the Tata Avinya looks in the deign. But the problem with Tata motors is that the design never translate into reality. The wheels become smaller and the chassis become more like that of a truck, with no proper finishing.

I like what Uncle Bob said about software architecture: “A good architecture maximises the decisions not made”. 😇

Some people don’t have even the basic manners. In an AC train coach, there was a person not much older than me, who was sneezing wide open. 🤮

Watched the Fighter movie on #Hotstar yesterday. It was an amazing movie with much accurate flying/operational scenes AFAIK (except the climax, as in most Indian movies). May be the spectator knowledge was one part that let it down.

I’m so confused why people go after #twitter/#threads and #whatsapp when open source, more secure and private #bluesky and #signal exists. There is not even a gap in the essential feature sets.
