Prime Video + Prime Shipping + Prime Music is ~16 USD per year if you get the subscription from India. I used to live in India but not anymore. So I was keen to only use Prime Vide…

I had unsubscribed from Prime Video for precisely this reason. I think it's about time I gave it another chance.

This is probably why use one-time-password via SMS is so rampant in many many services. This kind of auth has mostly eliminated large scale hacks, however OTP over SMS still won't …

Clearly this is well orchestrated and professional. I'm wondering what could be the motivation for such an attack. There is no monetary benefit whatsoever. Perhaps some AI company …

I believe 60 upvotes at the time is probably equal to >150 upvotes today.

I just gave it a go and it didn't really look like a Photoshop replacement, more like a really trimmed version of Photoshop. But for the usecases it serves, it's probably enough. N…

Update: I've been using this for a couple of days now. It has proved quite useful. For all those who keep swaying to google news or hackernews instead of doing work, this may save …
