Phones seem to optimize for the fastest network instead of network quality. At least on Android it's possible to manually override and select a network through the hidden settings …

Agreed. We exclusively use the Frappe Framework along with ERPNext and it works great for this same use case.

From the graph in the article it is pretty evident that the margins are very low compared to other countries. This is a case of the government doing something that makes sense for …

You can always use YouTube through an alternate resource. Try invidio.us

OpenStreetMaps is getting there. Heavily depends on the quality of maps in your area. For Youtube, you could use something like invidio.us or newpipe, which shows you only the chan…

You don't need to. Just use apps that do not need Google Play Services. F-Droid helps out with that. I don't miss anything since almost all services I need to use have very good mo…

Use the web version. No ads. Use the app only when you need to post.

OSM has better data in certain aspects. The big problem with OSM is not about the data, but that it isn't designed to be used as a map. When someone visits osm.org, it is very bare…

Ah, seems that you are right. The government doesn't own it, but sure does seem to have a controlling stake through the Public Sector Banks.

The channel was not blocked. Just the two videos which were deemed to be defamatory. Pewdiepie can contest the decision.

The company manufacturing on the outskirts of Bangalore is Wistron. Not Foxconn.

There was this other start up which planned to use AGV to tow the planes till the take off point. Would be much simpler than trying to modify the plane itself. https://en.m.wikiped…
