😡 What kind of Shitty Alerts are These? @HDFC_Bank @HDFCBank_Cares
An Information is different than an ALERT!
Stop this menace otherwise people will stop paying attention to your emails.

We hacked the AWS JavaScript SDK, a core library powering the entire @AWScloud ecosystem - including the AWS Console itself 🤯
How did we do it? Just two missing characters was all it took.
This is the story of #CodeBreach 🧵👇

Dear @JioCare ,
My plan ends on 17th Jan. Today is 13th Jan.
Since morning:
• You’ve already made 3 phone calls to me.
• And on top of that, every call I make is hijacked first by your recorded lecture
“Aapka recharge jald hi samapt hone wala hai… please recharge now” both in Hindi AND English.
I KNOW.
I WILL RECHARGE.
Why the hell am I being mentally spammed 3 days in advance, on every single call?
Dear @TRAI is this how customer experience is supposed to work?
Remind once. Not bully people all day.

I was standing in the queue for my O-1 visa interview at the Delhi US Embassy when I realized I might be missing a couple of documents that Google says are kind of important for O-1 approval.
The queue was already insanely long even for an 8AM slot, and there was no time to run to the market. I started panicking a bit.
Just then the guard casually goes: “Ma’am, just Blinkit.” (@letsblinkit is an instant delivery app in India.)
So while still standing in the queue, I uploaded my documents on the app. They got printed and delivered to me in 15 minutes, while I was still in the queue.
Saved my panic moment lol. Visa approved and stamped. Literally saved my day and truly served the best purpose of a last-minute delivery app :) In such moments, services in India feel like a real privilege!
New @GooglePayIndia 'Flex' Card? 🛑
The only thing it’s flexing is how confusing it is.
❌ 0.2% Base Reward (1 Star per ₹500 spend!)
❌ Complicated tiers & useless gamification
❌ Zero value compared to competitors
Verdict: HARD PASS. 📉
Do yourself a favor & get Axis Airtel, Yes Bank Zagg, or Kiwi instead.

India-specific innovation:
Saw this label on my Amazon parcel saying "if a pink dot appears do not accept"
Having worked in eCommerce for a decade, I instantly knew: People heat the seal to weaken the adhesive and steal the valuables inside while putting the blame on the eCommerce company. Sure enough, I heated the tape and it showed up the pink spots.
@googlemaps @KolkataPolice @KPTrafficDept
Hi, major issue in Kolkata: many roads switch to one-way between 1PM–11PM daily, but these changes aren’t shown correctly in Google Maps. Drivers blindly following navigation during these hours often get routed into the wrong direction.
This leads to fines from Kolkata Traffic Police and serious safety risks, including potential head-on collisions. I request @Google to kindly update Maps with time-based one-way data for Kolkata.
