@Johnwickcruze77 True, but I didn't get the time to involve myself too much. Otherwise, that could be created using a lathe machine, I guess.

@armujahid You should've tried some local Khirad walla, its not something rocket science.

Had to import this recessed brake nut cuz couldn't find it anywhere in Pakistan. Chatted with two mechanics who were like "bro, good luck locally." Bike life in Lahore be like that sometimes. #BikeRepair #PakistanCycling

@hassnain_arshad @ADAUniversity Congratulations 🎉

TypeScript 7 has been rewritten in Go — and yeah, the hype is real 👀 ~10x faster builds Way faster editor startup Lower memory usage But important: your app isn’t faster… your developer experience is. Still outputs plain JavaScript — just way faster getting there 🚀

Update: I was able to connect after setting up a manual tunnel as suggested by their support.

ProtonVPN works fine on Android and TV (already logged in there). However, the Linux client is logged out, so I'll need a VPN to log into the VPN. Haha.

! @ProtonPrivacy services are degraded in Pakistan because of ISP blocking, even non-VPN services like Proton Docs are blocked. Thankfully, Proton Mail and Drive are still working, but the VPN login API doesn't seem to function on Linux. Tested ISPs: Cybernet and Zong.

@Abdulnasirlodhi @ReplyTariq @NadraPak Adhaar is now integrated with Google wallet x.com/i/status/20501…

@ReplyTariq @armujahid @NadraPak In between we were busy to fight with each other to get the power 🙏- The good thing is now we are coming back on track . Yesterday ,read NADRA system can be accessible directly from hospitals for Birth registration . Expansion is going one

#Pakistan ‘s @NadraPak was ahead of the curve, launching its Pak-ID digital identity Mobile App 4 years ago. India's e-Aadhaar App launched a month ago and, New Zealand is planning to launch their own mobile-based digital IDs next year, marking a global shift towards digital identity ecosystems. centrist.nz/government-unv…

@MrAhmadAwais Looks like a caching bug. I also experienced that today.

Woke up to all our GitHub PRs gone. ☠️

Wireless emergency alert systems are designed to push geographically targeted, text-like alerts through mobile networks.

Stop wasting taxpayer money on routine SMS campaigns. Use SMS only for true emergencies, and rely on a proper emergency broadcast system for natural disaster alerts and other urgent public-safety warnings.

Introducing GPT-5.5 A new class of intelligence for real work and powering agents, built to understand complex goals, use tools, check its work, and carry more tasks through to completion. It marks a new way of getting computer work done. Now available in ChatGPT and Codex.

@Jashanx_gill I personally use both.

@Jashanx_gill 1) relatively lower session limits: Codex lowest plan has much generous limits. 2) closed ecosystem: Codex is open source, subscriptions can be used on 3rd party tools like OpenCode. Claude code on the other hand is closed source and blocks their subscription use with other tools

Why is everyone making a shift from Claude to Codex?

GPT 5.4 on the most basic ask against a 40-line bash script: "Figuring out the best way to approach this is the goal! There's just so much to think through, but I'm staying committed to getting it right." SO DRAMATIC!

@Naya__Pakistan_ @pawspakistan @tws_pk2 urgent: brutal animal abuse in this video. Location unknown but request you to investigate. 🙏

@Naya__Pakistan_ This should be reported. Please link source of this video.

@inspirdanalyst AI infrastructure is extremely expensive, and we lack the resources to afford it right now. Cloud AI subscriptions are heavily subsidized, which is why everyone uses them. Although technically, China can help us build that using thier open source frontier models like minimax.

In Pakistan, where most developers, startups, and small businesses are stuck on laptops with no GPU and zero chance of running a local LLM, global APIs from OpenAI and Anthropic have become outright punishing for agentic work. One decent autonomous agent can rack up $20–50 a day in token cost. This is before forex, banking fees, and PKR volatility even kick in. The fix is staring us in the face: our own ISPs and telcos should be hosting quantized open-source models (Llama 3.1, Qwen2.5, Mistral variants) on the very edge servers they already run, hand out cheap local API keys billed in rupees. Lower latency, data sovereignty, and pricing that actually matches our reality. It’s not frontier-level, but it’s more than good enough for 80% of real agentic use cases. So why on earth has this still not happened in 2026? The infrastructure, the talent, and the desperate demand are all sitting right here in Karachi and Lahore—yet we’re still forcing Pakistani builder and users to either go for a self hosted smaller LLM or spend big time at major AI cos in California. Our ISPs are selling fiber upgrades or yesteryear cloud computing solutions which is good but why not bundle a proper LLM API and turn every broadband customer into an AI user or builder overnight? The first mover who actually does this will own the local AI economy. Enough waiting. Who’s going to step up? Credits:Tariq Mustafa on LinkedIn
