"Telegram Introduces DRM" Just want to point out that it's not actually DRM. Just Telegram giving users the option to prevent message recipients from downloading content.

You are right. Only mobile services support IPv6, not their broadband.

Airtel does dual stack model. I've been using it for about 2 years now.

Agreed. Half a decade seems too optimistic to me though - lack of charging facilities at residences, current power grid cannot support any significant usage of electric cars, little space for charging stations in cities etc. Though if fuel

It was interesting to note that on typing "how heavy", the only search suggestion I got was "how heavy is an elephant".

According to the same researcher, 1Password has no trackers. 1Password does use UserID & DeviceID as identifiers though. FWIW they do conduct regular security audits and post it at https://support.1password.com/security-

Agreed, I doubt the EU is going to do that too. I replied assuming that the parent was from Kashmir/India.

Agreed. Though Signal has more utility than WhatsApp thanks to its disappearing messages features. Technological solutions only go so far when offline restrictions can be imposed. It's entirely likely that once Signal figures out usern

In India, Its pretty easy to get various preventative tests done. As for as prices, its cheap enough for engineers but non-trivial sums for a majority of the population. As an example here's a list of all the tests, prices that a diagn

It's a shame indeed. Then again we are a pretty small market with arbitrary customs screening at border. I usually ask one of my friends to get similar products when they visit India but with the pandemic, it doesn't look like it&

That's true along with proper notification support. Firefox for Android has 'Add to Home Screen' and was one of the reasons along with extension support for my switch from chrome.

Perfect, thanks for this.

Ah my bad, looks like it only happens when I kill the app and not when I exit the app properly. I do not know if android apps are supposed to clean up persistent notifications when they are killed or even if they can.

I'm using 'Password/PIN' for database encryption and it isn't compatible with 'Device Credentials' in authentication method. Can you tell me how you've enable fingerprint unlocking?

by gopkarthik 7y ago
Thank you for this recommendation. Just tried Aegis on Android: 1. Its UX is more polished than andOTP; the AMOLED theme in particular is well done. 2. It also supports fingerprint unlocking, the lack of which was the biggest pain point whe

But this only works if you are a new prime user and not an existing one :(. Though at least in Airtel you get INR 1500 worth of Netflix subscription which is pretty useful.

Drying clothes out in the sun is the defacto practice in India and it's really surprising that people would complain about this. I feel the same way too; Clothes dried in sunlight always seem fresher and crispier (if it makes sense).

Yes, I agree that India sorely needs comprehensive data protection laws. IIRC the IT rules act only concerns with sensitive personal information which includes bank accounts/cards. Though I'm not sure if individual transactions ar

Pompeo said the Trump administration would push for free flow of data across borders, not just to help U.S. companies but also to secure consumers’ privacy. How does 'free flow of data across borders' help secure consumers'

In Hyderabad which is in a neighboring state to Bangalore, most people speak both Telugu and Hindi. Among white collar workers English is pretty common.

After reading a similar article on HN a year ago, I too decided to use Authy but the realized that it was vulnerable to the same methods. I eventually decided to use andOTP[1]. While it doesn't automatically sync across devices, it doe
