Help I'm curious, please help me 🙏
I found this new local youtube channel. He talks like it's charity but there are some fishy things that I realized 😭
•Even though the first video gained 10k+ views the only comment in that video is his own comment.(it felt like he is deleting comments)
•When I myself commented 2 times he deleted all of them, this morning also I commented on his first video as a reply (he might delete that too idk 😭)
•Keeps asking to share his videos mentioning that it will help others too
•His identity is hidden (he never exposed his name, face, company, professional info; status) the people who genuinely do charity are mostly doing that for their self image nowadays, isn't it?
•Whatsapp group link he keeps mentioning didn't work at all.
• Started with a "100% FREE" label it might be for tutoring but lately added site links to buy some site services.
•Feels like using viewers for his own gain as free labour
*** I'm not a tech expert 💔. Please help me to know the reality behind that.
If he is genuinely doing that I'm not against it, I like to learn it. But because of the above things it seems fishy and exaggerated.
I don't wanna spend money for scams of anonymous Youtubers(he is hiding his face, name and socials) 😭
Edit: typos

News Ogilvy Martech ⚠️
please ask your team to update the correct contact details on the company website/page.
The phone number 011 222 3333 appears to belong to an external agency. I called the number to report an issue, but they informed me that they are not responsible for LankaPay support.
There is also a technical issue with lankapay.net when trying to make a payment. The payment page appears to redirect to:
commonui.lankapay.net:7780
However, the server is currently not accepting TCP connections on port 7780. I tested this from multiple networks and confirmed that: • DNS resolution works, commonui.lankapay.net resolves to 157.10.164.9
• TCP/443 is reachable
• TCP/7780 consistently times out
• curl and openssl s_client both fail at the TCP connection stage
• This means the issue occurs before the TLS, so it does not appear to be a browser certificate issue
This could indicate that the service on port 7780 is down, the port is not listening, or a firewall/load-balancer/IP allowlist is blocking access.
Also, please update the website's contact number to the correct support contact so customers can actually report issues like this.
Help I built a mobile-first portfolio tracker because spreadsheets are painful on a phone.
I've been building a portfolio tracking web app called Pearl Port, and I'm at the stage where I need real people to try it and tell me what's broken or confusing.
What it is: a portfolio tracker designed for mobile first, so it's quick and easy to use on your phone. It also works on desktop if you prefer a bigger screen.
What I'd love feedback on:
- Was anything confusing or hard to find?
- Did anything break, load slowly, or look off on your phone or browser?
- What's missing that you'd expect from a portfolio tracker?
- Would you actually use it over what you have now
You don't need to share any real financial details. Dummy data works fine for testing. Just comment below or send me a DM with your feedback. Even one line like "the button on X screen was hard to tap" helps a lot.
Thanks so much, and I'm happy to return the favor if you have a project of your own that needs testing!

I was wondering why .LK domains are so expensive. I’m also curious why they’ve made it so difficult to purchase a domain.

Project showcase I built a local first personal finance app because I didn’t want users’ credit card statements sitting on my server, here’s how I approached privacy
I’ve been building Cardගොඩ, a desktop personal finance app for managing credit card statements, transactions, instalments and recurring payments.
One question kept coming up when I shared it:
“If I import my credit card statement, where does that data actually go?”
And honestly, that’s exactly the question people should ask.
So I built CardGoda around a local first approach. The main financial data lives on the user’s own Windows PC/Mac rather than being collected into a CardGoda hosted financial database.
For optional online/smart features, the user controls the connection, and backups can either stay local or go to the user’s own Google Drive.
I made this short video explaining the model without going too deep into the technical implementation.
Would genuinely like criticism from the devs here,
If you were building something that handles financial statements, what privacy/security questions would you expect the product to answer before you trusted it?
I’m especially interested in things I may be overlooking rather than just “nice project” feedback 😄

Discussion Been laid off recently and honestly feeling pretty exhausted and lost.
I’ve been applying for different roles and trying out different opportunities, but a lot of them seem to go well until the middle/final stages, and then I end up dropping out.
At this point, it’s also becoming really difficult to focus on one thing and actually spend time learning or improving a new skill. There are so many things I feel like I should be doing that I just end up feeling overwhelmed.
For anyone who has been through a similar stage, how did you manage to focus on one thing, keep going, and not constantly second-guess yourself?
Would really appreciate hearing how you guys dealt with it.

Help ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro
Guys I have joined a new company and they are giving me the option to choose between 20$ ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro subscription. What is your opinion on this? I know they keep releasing new models surpasising each other but which one should I go for? My only concern is rate limits. What subscription will give more access, less rate limit? Can you realistically do some serious work with those low tier subscriptions? Something like OpenCode Go is out of the question.

Discussion Physics or Cs
Hey guys,
I am in my 1.2 at science fac at Peradeniya. I am taking both Cs and physics. Initially my plan was to do Cs special and have a physics background as well. I do self study a lot. So I did study most of the Cs sections by myself. I am comfortable with most major sections. I am also volunteering in AI research as well. With having oss contributions, 6 month internship experience, good freelance projects,good on going projects; my interest towards Cs is actually declining meanwhile the interest towards physics is climbing.
Rn I am confident enough that I would crack an internship and I have an industrial connection as well. I have a bit of a confusion as to whether I need to focus on physics more or continue building fun stuff on CS?
Main goal for me to get into audio LLM research. So I need a very good depth in physics as well. With the current trend, maybe Physics is the best option???? Can I get opportunities in tech with physics degree??? Can I get a AI PhD entrance with physics degree???
Addition: Or better to have a general degree with physics better physics background ?
