I shopped at the same Holige Mane outlet today for the same two items – I paid ₹45 (not ₹80) for Badami Holige and ₹25 (not ₹35) for Coconut Holige. 😠

#Swiggy charged me ₹145 (₹198, if I didn’t have One) for these, instead of the in-person ₹70. 😡

#Uber has now started doing this insidious thing where they show a longer route to calculate a higher fare, but then use a much shorter route *immediately afterward* for the actual trip. 😠

The app doesn’t let you contest the fare & doesn’t let you connect to a human. 😡

Who says #AI is taking away jobs? The #TimesOfIndia actually employs someone to prompt #LLMs on random topics and publishes that #AISlop. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤢

My average morning commute has increased by 23% (48m to 59m) since the ban on bike-taxis in #Bangalore came into effect from 2025-06-16. 😰

For some reason, #MoveInSync needs to store 2+ GB of “documents & data” on my #iPhone. 😠

#WTF? WHY?

#India #Bangalore #iOS

I can’t believe how often the #BookMyShow app on #iOS shows a date-picker widget with the wrong calendar. 🤦🏽‍♂️

For some reason, this happens quite often near the end of a month (or at the beginning of one). #WTF? Quite shoddy.

“Garnier Commits To Green Beauty” (www.garnier.in/green-beauty) 🧐, but does not actually want to walk the talk😠 – it still has “micro-beads” (aka microplastics) in its face-wash. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I have never seen any #app on #iOS struggle with #notifications for as long and as much as the #ApartmentAdda app. 🤦🏽‍♂️

#Bangalore #India #Adda #iiPhone #WTF #Incompetence

Alt-Text: Shot of the notification diagnosis screen in the app, asking me to turn off low-power mode.

The Apartment Adda folks couldn't control spam via their platform, so they just stopped the most useful feature. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Someone on the Internet once recommended using a #spring from a pen to reinforce the fragile joints of #cables (which no longer have stress-relief joints, as a fashion) and I’ve been gratefully using this #LifeHack ever since. 💡

Uglier, but much longer-lasting cables. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Me reacting to Sean pronouncing the name of the #Vi text-editor as “vye” in the latest episode of the #AdventOfComputing #podcast (adventofcomputing.com?guid=7c63d3d...):

Sometimes The Economist drops an unexpected zinger. 😂

Dear Intarweb, I find these little pouches all over #Bangalore and am puzzled by them. 🧐

Does anyone know what they are? I’ve asked around, but couldn’t find out.

They’re ~2x1 cms in size.

Predictably, the opening up of the full #PurpleLine on #NammaMetro in #Bangalore has caused a huge congestion during peak hours (👇🏽ToI).

#BMRCL says it needs more coaches to ease this congestion by increasing the frequency of trains & blames its Chinese vendor for the delay. 🧐

#WTF? It’s bad enough that #Uber has become expensive, now they also show #ads in their app. What am I paying all this money for?
