There are some qualities unique to desi parents. Like their tendency to treat WhatsApp as a news portal, their inability to say sorry, and their never-ending nuskhe. And stand-up comedian Raunaq Rajani hilariously sums up every desi parent's antics in his latest stand-up set, My Dad Caught Me Smoking. Rajani starts the set by talking about his father's tendency to click a selfie that gives a whole new meaning to the term close-up. For reference, this is how he clicks a selfie: However, when he tried telling his father to let selfies be, his father has the ultimate response:Though nothing is more apt than this comment about desi fathers and WhatsApp forwards: Of course, it's not all about desi fathers. Rajani also talks about his mom, who used to beat him to 'discipline him' and then pulled the ultimate desi mom trick- emotional atyachaar!However, Rajani soon makes a smooth segway to his main theme, smoking... which obviously is injurious to health. From why he could never take up smoking (and no his father catching him did not play a role in it), to the reason his friend, a chain smoker, quit smoking (it involves male nipples), his set is as hilarious, as it is relatable. You can watch…

Anmol Mehrotra Neowin @@anmol_112 · Jun 30, 2021 08:22 EDT Earlier this month, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and WhatsApp head Will Cathcart confirmed that WhatsApp will soon allow users to send disappearing images. This came months after the company announced support for disappearing messages on the platform. The new disappearing media option will allow users to send photos or videos that will be deleted after they have been opened. It works similar to Snapchat and deletes the media file as soon as it has been viewed. The implementation is simple, and you can follow the steps below to try it out for yourself: Open WhatsApp and select the contact that you want to send the disappearing media to. Select the image or video from your gallery or take a photo using the camera option in WhatsApp. Once selected, tap on the little circle tucked between the caption bar and the send button. This will set the media so that it can be viewed once and will then disappear. Unlike Snapchat, WhatsApp does not prevent users from taking screenshots so it should be used with trusted contacts only. Furthermore, the sender can see when the media was opened, even if you…

You might be forgiven for thinking that every day is social media day, given how much gets shared each day via social media services. For the past 11 years, however – yes, we’ve been addicted to social media for at least that long – the date 30 June has been given capital letters and referred to as Social Media Day, a 24-hour period when we are supposed to… …well, we’re not entirely sure how you cheer about any one day of social media content more than any other, so we can’t advise you how to celebrate #SocialMediaDay. But we do think that #SocialMediaDay is a great excuse to take a few minutes to stop and think about how to improve your safety and security on social media in general. Indeed, police in London, UK warned only yesterday – on social media, of course! – about the resurgence of a WhatsApp scam designed to trick you into handing over 2FA (two-factor authentication) codes so that crooks can take over your account: We have seen a surge in WhatsApp accounts being hacked, if you are sent a text from WhatsApp with a code on it, don't share the code with ANYONE no…

WhatsApp’s massive popularity has given rise to many third-party clone apps that purport to add missing features such as syncing chats across platforms. Of late, a new fork called GB WhatsApp has been doing the rounds of the internet. It claims to circumvent the ‘ban’ that WhatsApp threatened to dole out to users who didn’t accept its controversial privacy policy. However, it is worth noting that WhatsApp’s privacy policy is still being contested in court and the platform hasn’t gone around banning anyone. A cursory glance at the GBWhatsApp website is enough to tell us that its developers are up to no good. Some of the ‘features’ listed above are flat out wrong. WhatsApp already lets you hide your last seen via a toggle in the settings. It also lets you change your theme, although the choices are quite limited. Everything else is a minor QoL improvement, but nothing that most users will use throughout the course of daily use. However, one of the most egregious claims made by the developer is as follows:Apparently, you can just’ sideload’ GB WhatsApp onto your iPhone by ‘downloading’ the installer file. That is flat out impossible, as Apple doesn’t users sideload apps on to…

It way back in 2015, that Aakshey Talwar (founder of GaiaQ aka Weaving Thoughts) founded a WhatsApp group called audiophilia as a part-time hobby. A hobby he thought he might need to list on his resume, should his business fail and he was forced to go abroad for an MBA. With the grace of God, both GaiaQ and Weaving Thoughts founded by Aakshey are doing splendidly well. So that card was never played. However, audiophilia was to become a forum for who’s who of audiophiles in India, and that’s exactly what happened.  Who’s an audiophile? Audiophiles are lovers of Hi-Fi (aka High Fidelity) audio equipment in the form of speakers, headphones and associated accessories. So equipment that can reveal detail that regular consumer-grade stuff can’t. Equipment that’s closer to the source or original recording. Most audiophiles would shrug away anything with the label of Bose or Beats. Aakshey is no exception, just like others at audiophilia.  What’s Audiophilia?  Audiophilia is a private WhatsApp group that welcomes members from all across the world (but most members are Indian) to discuss audiophile-grade hardware primarily. Their focus is mostly on headphones from brands like Sennheiser, Hifiman, Focal, etc. and similarly amplifiers and DACs…
