If you died tomorrow your family could not access a single thing you own digitally. Bank accounts. Crypto. Passwords. Cloud storage. All of it locked permanently. Here is how to fix that in 30 minutes:

டப்ளின் சாலைகளின் நடுவே இருக்கும் இந்த மரங்களைப் பார்த்தால், யாரும் கத்தரித்தது போல தெரியவில்லை; இயல்பாகவே இவ்வளவு அழகாக வளர்ந்திருக்கின்றன போலத் தோன்றுகிறது. #dublindiaries #backpackingineurope #bucketlisttravel

இன்று செயின்ஸ்பரியில் ஸ்காட்லாந்தின் தேசிய பானமான # irnbru வின் 1901 வாங்கி குடித்தேன். எங்கேயோ குடித்த மாதிரி இருக்கின்றது என பார்த்தால் அட நம்ம ஆரஞ்சு காளிமார்க் சுவை நினைவில் வந்து போனது #Glasgow #Sainsburry

Is your laptop suddenly as slow as a snail and the fan is making a lot of noise every time you open Chrome? Many people suggest switching to Edge or Brave. You don’t need to. You just need to change a few hidden settings. I’ll show you how to stop Chrome from being a RAM vampire. Here’s how: (Save this later).

Anthropic-ஓட course பாத்த உடனே என் மனசுல ஒரு கேள்வி வந்துச்சு… “AI கத்துக்க Anthropic மட்டும் தானா free resources கொடுக்குது?” Curiosity-ஆ search பண்ண ஆரம்பிச்சேன். அப்ப தான் புரிஞ்சது… AI-ல உலகத்தை lead பண்ணுற பெரிய companies கூட நேரடியா free-ஆ AI கத்துக்க resources கொடுக்குறாங்க. உதாரணத்திற்கு: • Anthropic • Google • NVIDIA • OpenAI • Meta • Microsoft • IBM • Amazon Web Services இதுல bonus என்னன்னா… சில courses-க்கு certificate கூட கிடைக்கும். அது resume / portfolio-ல சேர்க்குற advantage தனியே இருக்கு.

Brilliant ad from #Acko. Meanwhile, thousands are still paying premiums for #LIC endowment plans—thanks to a relative or neighbourhood uncle who “guaranteed” it was the best investment.

Skill India. The CAG just exposed what INR 10,194 crore of your tax money actually bought. PMKVY ran from 2015 to 2022. Three phases. INR 14,450 crore outlay. The goal was to skill 1.32 crore youth. CAG audited it. Here’s what they found. 95.90 lakh participants under PMKVY 2.0 and 3.0. For 90.66 lakh of them, that’s 94.53%, the bank account field was recorded as zero, null, N/A, or just left blank. Bank accounts were mandatory for Rs 500 DBT payments. So where did the money go? The remaining 5.24 lakh who actually had bank details? 12,122 account numbers were repeated across 52,381 people. And some of those accounts were literally “11111111111” and “123456”. Single digit entries. Text. Names. Special characters instead of account numbers. Now here’s the wild part. A company called Neelima Moving Pictures (NMP). Not even registered with the Registrar of Companies. This company certified 33,493 people across 8 states in 21 job roles between January and November 2020. When CAG went looking for NMP in October 2022, the company didn’t exist anymore. They were told it shut down during COVID. But the photos NMP submitted as training proof? Same batch photo used for Bihar’s Gaya district, UP’s Bahraich and Shravasti, Maharashtra’s Jalgaon, and Rajasthan’s Sri Ganganagar. Different states. Different batches. Same photo. Emails sent by CAG for verification? 36.51% bounced. The ones that came back? Many were sent from training partner email IDs, not the actual trainees. 2.72 lakh email addresses were null. Over 3.08 lakh were repeated. In Bihar, 3 out of 10 training centres were physically shut when inspectors showed up. The portal still showed training was happening. 34 lakh+ certified candidates have still not received their DBT payment. Overall placement rate? Just 41%. And the official PMKVY website? Try opening pmkvyofficial.org right now. It doesn’t even load. INR 10,000 crore spent to skill India’s youth. 94% didn’t even have valid bank accounts on record. Ghost companies certifying thousands with recycled photos. Centres that exist on a portal but are locked on the ground. This isn’t an allegation. This is the Comptroller and Auditor General of India’s own report. Who is accountable?

@ATRightMovies Vicky Cristina Barcelona

What is the first film you think of when you see JAVIER BARDEM?

'THE MENTALIST' Tamil ❌ 7 Seasons, 151 Episodes இப்ப நெட்ப்ளிக்ஸ்ல ஸ்டிரீம் ஆகிறது. தரமான இன்வெஸ்டிகேஷன் சீரிஸ். ஒவ்வொரு எபிசோடும் ஒரு கேஸ் + ஹீரோ மற்றும் சீரியல் கில்லர் Clash.. Jane & Lisbon - Best Pair ♥️ One of my all time favourite series.

@the_hindu Why the click on subscribing your marketing communications is mandatory to proceed on payment page while buying your year book? You want customers to buy the book or not? You lost 3 book sales now due to such bad idea. @thehindubiz @TheHinduSports @TheHinduCinema

I DID THE MADRAS VINTAGE BUS TOUR That starts from Chennai central You can get ticket in the bus! (Highly recommend getting the physical ticket instead of the online one - it’s so cute) I’ll be posting the bus timings also on this thread.

@ZEE5India Showing repeated Durex ads during UA-rated movies on the TV app is inappropriate for family viewing. Please stop this and respect audience context. #mask #ott

#Parasakthi: Good movie and appreciate director sudha on the story background adopted for the screenplay. Watched it with my 16-year-old Gen Z son, who was unaware of past language struggles against Hindi imposition and was genuinely surprised by what he saw on screen.

@zopnote why UPI payment options not showing? It used to show earlier. Also your app doesn't work with paytm app directly but every time I need to put the Paytm upi ID to make payment. Now you completely removed the upi option itself. Is it a good customer experience?
