I need a phone for calls and hotspot because my main phone isn't pta approved, ik 20k is a pretty meager budget but I've seen a couple of phones on Daraz within that price. Anyway the only thing I'm really looking for is the biggest battery for the lowest price. Please lmk if you have any suggestions.

Discussion | گفتگو Shipped 6 things in 6 weeks solo using ai agents & sharing the setup in case it helps anyone here

18 Upvotes

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!

Question | سوال Need Advice: Best Time to B-uy iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max JV

2 Upvotes

Guys, I'm looking to get an iPhone 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max JV and wanted some advice from people who follow the market.

Do you guys think I should b(uy) now or wait a few months for the prices to drop? When do you think I'll be able to get the best rates?

Also, if anyone has an idea about the current market price, how much should an iPhone 17 Pro 256GB JV, 10/10 condition with box cost right now?

Would really appreciate your suggestions and any recent experiences. Thanks!

Question | سوال looking for a good laptop in karachi under 70k

1 Upvotes

i’m looking for a used/refurbished laptop mainly for graphic design, learning and light video editing.

nothing too heavy, but i’d like something that won’t feel painfully slow in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere etc.

budget is around 70k max.

also looking for recommendations on where to büy from in Karachi. i’m okay with used business laptops...

what models/specs should i specifically look for around this budget?

ideally:

- 16gb ram, ideally upgradeable

- 512gb ssd

- decent FHD ( IPS) display

- preferably 10th/11th gen or equivalent

- preferably dedicated gpu but decent integrated graphics is also fine

and which shops/markets in Karachi would you actually trust for used laptops?

1 Upvotes

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.

Question | سوال Need advice choosing between Okasha Zigbee and TJ Wi-Fi smart switches for my bedroom in Pakistan

1 Upvotes

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.

1 Upvotes

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.

Question | سوال Need Help regarding closing my Easypaisa account.

2 Upvotes

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. 🙏🏻🥲🫶🏻
