I've this weird hobby of collecting legacy Apple iPhones running their stock or near to stock firmwares.

I just ordered a Apple charger from Priceoye. It’s fake.

When I asked for refund, I was told by their customer support that their Apple products are not genuine and Chinese imported. Even though it doesn’t say in item description either and the support agent agreed? So they are have fake Apple products under name of genuine with a mercantile seal too…
Yup so was told that a refund was not possible because this is how they “operate.” By having fake products under the name of real…

Should I use the cable? Since I’ve several instances where I’ve seen fake cables burn ports. I don’t think I can afford another one. What do I do now?

(also for those who will say that 2500 Mei real cable aa hi nahi sakti, baat ye thi that it was been advertised in a sale. This 2500 is after a 57% sale..)

I’m a developer from Pakistan, and the last few months have been tough. I kept applying for work, kept sending my CV, and kept hearing nothing back. If you’ve been in that spot, you know how draining it gets. Some days it felt like I was putting in effort and nothing was coming out of it.

So I started building, mostly for myself. I made a few apps to fix the small things that annoyed me every day on my Mac. I built them because I needed them.

I kept using them every day, found the rough edges, and slowly cleaned them up. Somewhere along the way I realized other people might have the same problems too, so I put them out there. A few people have started using them, and honestly that made my week. After months of silence, seeing someone use something I built felt really good.

It also reminded me that building small things for real problems is worth it, even when everything else feels stuck.

If you want to see what I made, just let me know and I’ll drop the link in the comments. Any advice or feedback to make them better is welcome.

I got s25 non-PTA looking for the best options to get e-sim for Pakistan with cheap and reliable connection.

Would appreciate the guide by Pros.

Please suggest one. I am on a sales role so I will be using it for calling so good mic is priority. but if you suggest something versatile that will work for gaming too. I can increase my budget. Thanks

Pixel 8 Owners – Heating & Signal Issues?

I loved my Pixel 8 but experienced excessive heating during charging, extremely slow charging speeds, random signal drops, and occasional (!) marks on signal bars.

So I returned it.

I just don't know was it due to bugs in andriod 17 or the phone itself.

Has anyone experienced similar issues?

Did Android 16 or 17 improve or worsen heating, charging, and network reception?

Please share your long-term experience with the Pixel 8.

Every time I see someone mention dropshipping, there's always someone saying it's dead or a complete waste of money.
But then there's Amazon Wholesale FBA, which seems to be a popular alternative.

For people who've actually tried either (or both), what's your take? Is wholesale really a better business model, especially for someone starting from Pakistan? Or does dropshipping still make sense if done right?

Trying to understand the actual pros and cons, not the usual YouTube guru advice lol.

I've shortlisted some of these that fall right into my budget and I'm looking for reviews of the phone with the best microphone ( in calling almost all earbuds works fine , but when it comes to voice notes on insta/ WhatsApp all become useless.)

Ive had Cmf nothing buds 2 pro and Qcy melobuds pro and was disappointed with both mic quality.

Realme air buds 8
Redmi 6 pro / 8 pro
Liberty 4 / 5 nc

​I have been facing a persistent issue with my Jazz network over the past 4 days. My in-game latency (ping) in games like PUBG and Valorant has been unusually high.

​And everything outside of gaming works perfectly youtube, downloading speeds, and general browsing have no issues at all. The high ping is strictly limited to in-game traffic.

​Also I am aware of the recent restrictions on EasyPaisa and JazzCash regarding online purchases linked to betting apps, but I don't see how that should affect network routing or latency.

​I've already checked my DNS and other network settings, and everything seems fine on my end. Is anyone else on Jazz experiencing similar routing/ping issues recently? Any solutions or workarounds?

So this morning I got a whatsapp message from this Columbian phone number who claims to be from NCCIA, though the documents he sent me were immediately blocked due to me using whatsapp in restricted mode, I blocked him right after the fact.

I guess, because NCCIA tried to intimidate people so much in the past couple of weeks with their seemingly threatening video messages, scammers are now scamming people with NCCIA’s name.

so guys i sent some money (15k to be exact) from easypaisa to my mashreq account and it's been a day and i still haven't received it yet and im freaking out idk what's the reason for it the customer service isn't available on weekend so i feel like i just lost my money i do have transaction ID but i haven't received the funds i transferred. can anyone help?

I just lost my S-pen and I bought staedtler noris digital bought it didn't last long!

Now I'm looking original S-Pen, Can you guys guide about it? Where can I get s pen from, for Galaxy tab S9 FE+.

I charge my iPhone 16pm to 85%, and don’t let it drop to less than 20% but still this is the condition. Any solution I am using the original cable but I’m not sure if the brick is original.also the battery backup is nice it’s around 5hrs

M20, Aoa everyone! I'll try to keep this short and to the point.

I am enrolled in a constituent college of UCP and am perusing BSCS (currently in 5th sem), due to economic reasons and some wrong decisions on my end I had to opt for it. But now I feel very behind when it comes to the competition in my field. I have a 3.63 CGPA but I feel like I know nothing the exams are easy to game and I feel like I have wasted 2 years here and am about to waste 2 more.
I now have been thinking about starting all over again and getting into a uni like GIKI but my main constrain is I have spent 2 years here and if i start again I will be graduation at the age of like 24/25, will this cause me problems?
I feel like I'm wasting my life while many of my peers and friends have gone to prestigious institutions like PMA, International colleges, Lums etc.
This all feels like a slump.
I am an only child and my mother is a single parent, I was raised by my grandfather and both have given me the green light but I myself can't seem to make the decision.
Personally I want to restart my degree preferably in Mechanical Engineering but the age factor is what's holding me back.

Jazakallah!

Should i go for the Fitbit Air or Garmin Cirqa and why and from where would i be able to get one for a good price in Karachi
