I am looking for a firefox extension that will allow me to toggle microphone access, preferrably per tab, for example disabling it while I’m not speaking in a zoom meeting to reduce tracking....
I guess the person is asking for a mute switch. Once the microphone access is granted, the person can’t mute/unmute unless the website provides such an option.
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.
I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience
Today I found out I have a rating on FREE NOW as a passenger (I’m not a driver at all, I use it on the rare occassions I need to move something or I’m too sick to make it via public transport, i.e. after a surgery - I have an upcoming one so I redownloaded it). Checking my settings to make sure I had payment in, I saw I had...
So I want te find the most feature rich smartwatch that doesn’t send data to the manufacure. I have tried the Pinetime watch, but it died after 6 months....
I would say amazefit is the better option, check the compatibility with gardggetbride before buying.
I bought an Amazefit bip 3 years ago and am using Master for Amazefit, sadly the developer stopped updating the app. The watch/band supports only step counter, heart rate measure, sleep tracking. So, whatever options the app provides work fine for me.
I need to look for other app options when I upgrade.
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.
Was an AVP in a bank moved to a different company to work as a software consultant with a 10% hike. I would be earning more than what I’m earning if I had stayed, but I’m happy now.
The company I worked for had installed software that tracks keyboard and mouse movements, it considers I’m idle if I don’t touch them for 180 seconds. Sometimes I lose more than 50% of the time because of attending meetings, it would report I was unproductive.
It always gave me a feeling like someone constantly standing behind my back and watching.
I usually work fast and complete things well in advance and spend time in the thought process of solving problems and enhancing existing process. Though I delivered more than what was expected from me, I was feeling insecure by someone gauging my performance by the amount of time I spent on computers.
I heard someone said that, at the end EV will cost you almost the same as gasoline vehicle, if you have to change the expensive battery every so often. Can someone please give me more info on this? Thank you so much.
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.
So for our kids, who are still quite young, instead of opening an entire other savings account for them, we decided to do “virtual” savings accounts....
The cumulative interest is calculated at month level, I guess calculating at day level would be overall kill.
Transactions:
Date: Transaction date
Amount: the amount you like to deposit and withdraw (deposits in +ve and withdrawals in -ve)
Comment: Any comments if you want to put
Month: derived from the date col - used in the Monthly summary sheet
Year: derived from the date col - to get per day interest rate
Days: derived from the date col - to identify the number of days to apply interest
Interest for days: Calculated interest on the month of deposit / withdrawal.
The first 3 are inputs and remaining 4 columns are to be copy/paste from previous row.
Interest Rate:
Year: Just the year
Interest Rate Per Year: Input the interest rate per year
Interest Rate Per Month: Interest Rate Per Year / 12 months
Interest Rate Per Day: Interest Rate Per Year / number of days in a year
The first two columns are input and remaining 2 columns are calculated
Monthly Summary:
Month: Year and Month (the date is always 1 - check the formula bar). This is used to calculate cumulative interest and to get the deposit / withdrawals.
Opening Balance: Closing balance of previous month
Deposit / Withdrawals: Sum of deposit and withdrawals in a month - comes from ‘Transactions’ sheet
Interest for deposits/WD: Day level interest calculated for the deposits and withdrawals for each month. This also comes from ‘Transaction’ sheet.
Interest on balance: This calculates the cumulative interest portion. Interest rates are taken from ‘Interest Rate’ sheet at month level.
Closing Balance: Sum of all the above.
No inputs are needed in this sheet.
Hope it will be helpful and all the best for your kids future.
I do save something for my kid using this scheme. I try to put the maximum amount in a year. I wish my parents saved something for me, which would have supported my education.
Hello everyone, I have never owned a laptop before( PC user from the very start), I want a laptop for my IT career(coding stuff) but I have a really low budget and wanna buy just a second hand laptop that can run some lightweight Linux distro.

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 perspective from India. 20+ years ago before ATMs were implemented, the bank officials treated each customer differently. A worker with dirty clothes would be treated poorly than a person who wears a tuck-in shirt.
Situation now: ATMs don’t know who is rich and who is poor. All people are equal.
We need to see the trend from 2019 to till date. There was a pressure to buy phones & tablets to attend online classes during covid. Almost every house would have an extra mobile phone, there is no surprise the sales decline.
Also the OEMs increase the phone price every year, it could be another reason.
Hello I’m thinking about buying two Yubi Keys for my keepPassXc database but I just want to be sure they’re worth it before I buy them since two would cost a fair chunk of money ($100), can anyone recommend them?...
When the covid hit in 2020, most schools opted for online classes. People from India bought lot of phones as cost is way less compared to laptop or tablet. So the 2020 is peak.
If we have data prior to 2020, we can see the 2020 is an outlier.
My friend who was an insurance agent, wanted me to take insurance policy from the company he worked, so he could get a commission.
I said I’m not interested. He sent a video where a truck lost control hit the median of a road then dump all of its load on a car and said it can happen to me.
I said f**k off. That was the last time I contacted him.
