That would be pretty useful.
I’m still looking for how I might manage to use my old phone’s camera anyway. Seems like a waste of good engineering to keep the pinout and protocol closed.

Just get some raspberry pi camera.

What to do about IR vision though?

In India, if I call out someone for coughing in my face, IATA.

So, unless you die of it, there are no repercussions to someone blatantly coughing at your face, again and again, despite protests.

I don’t feel sorry for anyone doing that.

I usually try to stay away from any of those.
Just that this time, they decided to use the legal system to suppress Wikipedia, which is why I thought, this needed to be shared.

Normally, I don’t even care about checking Wikipedia for controversial topics.

I am starting to understand why stealth games portray guards as easily head-flippable.
It’s because they already have it halfway there for the player.

ANI does seem to be getting the Streisand effect going though. I would never have checked their Wikipedia page and never have known of said allegations. And no, I didn’t even have to see the Wikipedia page, to know that something on those lines was written on Wikipedia.

For the average Indian, it would be just a minor inconvenience. Having to visit a site full of ads and half-assedly written information, whenever they want to know something new, is the price they will pay.

For Uni students, looking for stuff to plagiarise, it won’t be much different either, as most of the times, Wikipedia is considered a less reliable source than a shady website having 10’s of ad popups leading to malicious targets. Probably because the one grading it, only has to check to make sure it is not a Wikipedia URL and doesn’t really need to actually open the link to see here it leads.

Wikipedia kinda works like a Democracy of the type, ‘Logical Consensus’, making it very hard for people to just throw money at it to get false information shown, at least on topics with enough hands-on people^[1]. This makes it very unappealing for political campaigns. Meaning, Govt. doesn’t have a reason to care for it.

What we lose:

• As a kid, most articles I read on Wikipedia were Science and Technology related. They seemed to have a certain amount of care put into writing them and I picked up a bit of “care” from it.
  • We lose this potential positive influence on future inquisitive children, which will probably turn to video based sources (assuming they don’t just give up and go back to WhatsApp/X/other stuff). While video based sources are also fine, IMHO, the way Wikipedia tends to have stuff laid out, is a really nice way to let people learn new stuff, which might be leagues away from their on level and domain.

What Wikipedia loses:

• India has a lot of people. A lot of them would be contributing to the information in it. That is lost.
  • Catch: A lot of the Indians in Science and Tech tend to just emigrate. So, Wikipedia still has those.
  • Blind Spot: I don’t really read much other than Science and Tech and won’t be able to assess the amount and value of other articles. By extension, the contribution by resident Indians to those.

What Wikipedia as a company, loses:

• A bit of money maybe.
  • Though still much less than what ANI is trying to extort

What I gain:

• Another reason to consider emigration
• A reason to vote. And not incumbency this time.

What happens if Wikipedia pays out?

• A precept
  • I’d rather have WMF block Indian access, than this happen.

Wikipedia vs Delhi HC Judge’s Actions

Wikipedia explained that the delay had been caused as the platform didn’t have any physical presence in India.

• Wikipedia here, explaining that they have a limited ability and asking HC to be reasonable.

“We will close your business transactions here”

• Judge, realising they are showing weakness, increasing threat level.

Current actions vs Past actions

• Refer “Relevant Article” in the post.
• Low impact companies asked Supreme Court and were shot down
• Company with a high standing and a potential political backing, asks the High Court and gets full attention
  • On top of that, Delhi HC Judge decides to move to “Contempt of Court”, making it much harder for Wikipedia, in case they move Supreme Court (SC) in the future, for a re-trial
  • I feel like this would have gone differently had ANI gone to SC from the beginning.

Writing this part separately in a comment, because I understand this includes my bias.

Also, if I don’t interact with any comments later, please excuse me. GOI might have stopped my internet, just for posting this, because they can.

=\= is understood in text format

Not very sure about that. If it were me, I would go with =/= instead, due to the “not equal” sign having the slant that way. I also remember having used =|= somewhere.
Also, the forward slash is considered a text character, whereas backslash, a special character / escape character / compose character in different conditions.

I dont even have the last symbol you typed on my phone neither keyboard

For a keyboard user, it’s probably a good idea to get a compose key setup for stuff such as ≠°×∵∴ and the rest. That way you don’t have to copy paste those things all the time.

For Android, depending upon what keyboard you use, you might want to get an addon. In case of the default GBoard, long-press the ‘=’ key, and you will find ≠.

For iOS, good luck.

Well, guess who’s not buying next gen Ryzen?

They are doing similar stuff with deliberately delaying Linux driver capabilities for Radeon 7xxx series, to make more GPUs die out faster, by overheating (zero RPM fan until 60°+).

Now we just need a friendly neighbourhood nanoscale fab.

In short, if you’re pwned once, you are pwn3d f0r3v#rrrrreeeheehaahaahaa*cough**cough*

These are the kinds of exploits you use to create APT (Advanced Persistent Threats).

Could it be a new catalyst, that lets the process happen slowly over time, at lower voltages?

More guesses after I read the thingy
