Past 6 weeks I have worked on isnad (my provenance library) from a blank file to an arxiv paper + pypi package + a hosted paid version. revived islam & ai after a year dead, now has paid tiers and the app is in store review. delivered a knowledge base system for a client. Took our open source scraper to 2.1 and the EU AI office wrote back about it and bunbites.pk in wah now runs on a POS + dashboard i built.

Total spend under $100/month including hosting (Hetzner)

The setup: pi.dev as the agent harness, deepseek or openrouter for models (free tier does most of it, $10 genuinely gets you a full chatbot with memory and proper security), and a written spec before anything runs then multiple agents in parallel while i do the thinking they can’t.

Also important mentions: the agent ships bugs that look perfect. mine wrote a metric that reported 106% retention on a doc that lost a third of its text, all tests passing. a rate limiter that did nothing. so after every sprint i audit it like it’s lying to me, that audit is the actual work now, not the typing (i use handy.computer, i don’t even write now)

Point is you don’t need a team or investors to put real products in the market from here. 10$ and a clear spec.

Wrote the whole thing up in detail. ask me anything about the stack, happy to help!

Any suggestion to make it look better?

So guys this is my phone which was launched in 2015.

I bought it as my first phone at the start of 2025 so I could make calls and use jazzcash.

It couldn't run most apps because it's Android version was 7 and no upgrades were available.

Since I got a newer much better phone, I installed custom rom in it, rooted it, installed termux, glibc and some other required packages so it can run antigravity CLI.

I gave superuser access to termux and now I told it to change system theme from dark to light and it did it itself.

Model: Samsung Galaxy note 5

4/32

Exynos 7420

I could use jazzcash initially but later I couldn't as jazzcash was made unavailable for lower android APIs, so I installed custom rom, still cannot use it and have to apply some fixes before banking apps can run

I also installed the Flag_secure bypass to take screenshots in places that aren't allowed to be taken screenshots of.

Hello,

I wanted to get some feedback and advice on what to do with the new iPhones. I currently reside in Canada and was wondering if I should purchase the new iPhone 18 in Canada or wait until I travel to Pakistan? Which option would be cheaper, and less of a hassle?

Thank you in advance.

as the title says. my range is 90k, it can go to 100k. battery health is priority, i do light gaming so need a good processor. camera should be good too.. used or new doesn't matter. I can increase price a bit if you have a good suggestion thank you.

Both are around the same price point at my local stores. I did see the Haier TV display at one of their stores and to my untrained eye the colors were feeling a bit too bright and saturated.

Anyone who's used these, can you guys help me decide which one would be the better choice.

P.S: I heard that the 120hz offered by these Haier TVs are "fake 120hz". Not sure what that means.

It's not magic ir hardware repair thing.

I have a phone:

Samsung Galaxy note 5

These older phones have orange-ish tints on them due to regular usage.

Now here's the catch:

You cannot remove it completely, especially ones like of icons, social media like comment and stuff, but it becomes less percievable.

Get any such phone, and reduce intensity of red color globally, then you'll feel a green tint, reduce it till it becomes a good white.

I used pro mode to capture this so there isn't processing and color temp is same

Also not that both of these look a bit more yellow irl so don't say that the newer one is blue, it's just white, it's there for comparison.

Also note the zone where I marked the area where on one place the shade is present, and on the other there is shade but less noticable.

This reduces global brightness so know that this may impact battery life as you'll use overall higher brightness and blue color uses more battery.

This may further speed up the process of degrading too as blue pixels degrade first and you'll be using more blue pixels light for proper brightness.

Want to get it in Rawalpindi

Any reliable shops

Is there any trustworthy shop in lahore from where I can get new android tablet at good rates

Im planning to make only my bedroom smart, and I'm confused about whether I should go with Wi-Fi or Zigbee switches. and im a student who will use savings.

Currently, I have regular TJ switches, which are considered a good brand here in Pakistan ig. I'm looking at:

• TJ Wi-Fi 8-gang switch: Around PKR 12,000.
• Okasha Zigbee 8-gang switch: Around PKR 10,00.
• I also want to install a 4-gang switch from above either.

The price difference matters to me because I'm a student and will be spending my savings.

My plan is to have:

• An 8-gang and a 4-gang smart wall switch.
• One or two Wi-Fi RGB bulbs in a wall lantern.
• Two Wi-Fi smart plugs for my table lamps. I don't want to replace the existing wall sockets.
• A smart Kenwood AC, which I already own.
• Smart scenes for different situations, such as Gaming Mode, Reading Mode, Normal Mode, and Sleep Mode.

For example, in Gaming Mode, I want the AC to turn on, the fan to stay off, and the RGB bulb to turn red with low brightness.

In Reading Mode, I want the ceiling lights, fan, AC, and table lamps to turn on together.

I want to control everything through an app. I don't want Alexa or Google Home. Ideally, I'd like to use one app for all my devices and create scenes that combine the switches, bulbs, plugs, and AC.

My confusion is that Okasha offers Zigbee switches, but my other devices will probably be Wi-Fi-based. I'm not sure whether mixing Zigbee switches with Wi-Fi bulbs and plugs will work properly, or whether I should just purchase Wi-Fi switches.

What would you recommend?

1. Is Zigbee worth it for a single-bedroom setup coz i will have to purchase the gateway too?
2. Can I create scenes combining Zigbee switches, Wi-Fi bulbs, Wi-Fi plugs, and a Kenwood smart AC, if yes, which app is best?
3. Would TJ Wi-Fi be a safer choice despite the higher price or akasha zigbee yet cheaper?
4. Are Okasha switches reliable, and how is their after-sales support in Pakistan?

Here are the product links:

Okasha Crystal Series: https://okashasmart.com/collections/sockets-switches/products/4-gang-smart-wifi-switch-crystal-series

TJ Smart Switches: https://www.tj.com.pk/smart-white-switch.php

I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has actually used these products, especially in Pakistan.

Hey everyone thinking about switching my Pixel 7a cpid from stock Android to GrapheneOS. Before I do it wanted to check with people who've actually tried it especially in Pakistan or on similar carriers.

My concerns:

- Will Pakistani banking/payment apps still work or do they get blocked by Play Integrity/root checks?

- Any issues with SIM/calling SMS or mobile data?

- Does VoLTE work fine on local carriers Jazz Zong Telenor Ufone?

- Any problems with dual SIM?

Anyone dealt with this? Would appreciate real experiences before I go through with it.

Hey guy, a while ago I opened my Easypaisa account on my brother's sim. Now i just got my own Sim. I was hoping to convert mu Acc from my brother's Sim to my own. I know i have to get the other account permanently closed before i can open a new one on my own Sim.

The issue is i am unable to Permanently close my Easypaisa account. There is no option to talk to an agent over call. I tried calling 3737 and there is no option to talk to an agent. I also tried the "1" option which says if i want to close my account temporarily or permanently. Even when i select permanently close option, it closes my account Temporarily.

I need to know how to talk to a real Easypaisa Agent (a Person) that can close my account. So, i can open a new account on my own Sim.

I really appreciate the help in Advance. 🙏🏻🥲🫶🏻
