Reasons not to buy Google Pixel in India

Well about 2 years back I write a blog for reasons to buy a google pixel in India [check that here] but as I've used the device over the years I get to know somethings that make the device just unbearable. I'll break them down to certain points for easy understanding.

Let me make this perfectly clear here and now I proudly own a pixel 4a and still using it and loved every minute but I believe people of India needs to know somethings about pixel phone before they actually buys the device. So, Lets get into this

1. Price: Google Pixel phones are known for their high price points, which may be considered excessive when compared to other smartphones available in the Indian market. Even though the pixel ‘a’ series is considered as a budget segment but still for some people they aren't really be considered as budget.

2. Limited availability: Google Pixel phones are not widely available in India, making it difficult for some consumers to purchase them. Most of the time the phone is not available on the online websites. And the availability in offline market is very limited to very few stores.

Google Pixel availability is at very specific places

3. No expandable storage: Google Pixel phones do not have a microSD card slot for expandable storage, which may be a deal breaker for some users. To be quite honest iPhones does the same thing and people don’t really have a problem with it so I don’t think it is going to be a deal breaking point but still for some obvious reasons if they put a SD card slot I love to have it.

There is no storage variant only 128 GB is available

4. Lack of support for Indian bands: Some Google Pixel models may not support all of the Indian cellular bands, which could lead to connectivity issues for some users. Well I don’t face any problem what so ever but I read some online articles people do face some problems. But later, they fixed with the updates, I think.

5. Limited after-sales service: Google may not have an extensive after-sales service network in India, which could make it difficult for users to get their phones repaired or serviced if they experience any issues. To be honest when I first get to know about this it is quite sad as when anyone buy a Google devices they must be expect the great after sales service similar to apple which is quite popular in India. If a person need some after sales support it can only be done via third party and the repair only be done in Mumbai I think. So, if a person lives not in Mumbai, they need to send the device through courier so basically it may take months or few weeks it quite depends on but that is not what a person buys a device for or expect this kind of after sales service.

No official service center in India.

To be honest these are only some points that I can think of there are lot others as well like there is very limited to no customization. When I first heard about android 13 update I though it will completely change the customization for the phone but after the update only limited things I can see.

Conclusion

I can’t say these are the points applied to everyone but these are some points that change the decisions to most of the people look as a consumer I always look for these points. I’m extremely upset with the after sales service if I ever need the to be repaired but that is not happen yet and I want to keep it that way. And another thing I want to add is I love the google chat support like if you are facing any kind of trouble google application just go to the chat support and they’ll actually help you which seems nice for a company who don’t provide after sales service to its customer

Worlds Safest Password : "Password" || Read all Details here

Okay first of all the title of this blog is really a understatement and second most people think that how is this possible maybe the writer is idiot or something well I won't blame you but first read this blog then decide about me. I'll try to make my explanation as easiest as possible. So lets get started

Well first of all I fully support my title that Password is actually the safest password but there is also a catch in this.

Now first of all just think about it how a password cracking work :

it take a single alphabet or number or special character and calculate all the permutation and combinations right. Okay so if some people still don't understand let me give you an example :

Ex: suppose you password for an account is "PasswOrd" okay so basic password cracking tool simply apply a to password field afcose it won't work same way then b is tested all the to z now. Do keep in mind only small letters are tested. Now all the upper case alphabets are tested A to Z but as of this movement nothing works now Both 2 letters are combined ab are tested all the way to az which doesn't work similarly after many attempts password will be cracked. 

That's basically overall the password cracking tools work mostly. Now back to my statement how the word "password" is actually the safest password. 

Total possible combination for word password is 6435 and that is only for small alphabets. Now as I add the special characters, numbers, upper case alphabets the total number for combination will increase.

Now afcose many readers also thinking about that since now this whole password cracking process is automated what's the point of all this. Well that's a brilliant point and also correct in its own sense but just think about it any website for password cracking always has a limit for wrong password. 

Basically a user will only enter a wrong password for a certain number of times so even though the tool is fast enough but still doing all the combination isn't really possible for many tools. 

I fully agree that having password as password isn't really the most safest thing to done atleast from security point of view but still having password as password is more like a wild card it has good and also worst side..

Apart from that in this era no one really care to put password as password since there are password managers that saved the password and also make or suggest new strong password that are combinations of all the words, numbers and special characters and that is super easy to use but just think about storing your password at one single place is safe? Well I don't think so since if buy any chance the hacker gain access to this manager and that'll immediately provide access to all your accounts. I understand cracking the software isn't easy but it is not impossible as well.

Now,  at last I agree that many readers may actually still challenge my statement and I agree with them yes they're absolutely correct but even they also know that my points I explained above aren't completely wrong either. So ultimately all I can say is for better security don't just relay on passwords managers since a single vulnerability can give access to all accounts in one go.

I use this tool to calculate all the combinations for password. It is a free online tool.

Reasons to switch to Google Pixel in India

Well for the starting not many google pixel devices are available and also there are many problems that are come with pixel and I'll explained them in this blog. Most of people didn't really care about pixel in India but with this blog I make sure they think about their choices again. So, let's get back to the topic and lets begin with reasons to switch to pixel

1. A best overall device

Well I purchased the google pixel thinking it'll solve all my problem but its kind of opposite but there are perks too as the device even has its problem but still manage to give best out a mid range device. Its the best overall device. Like its performance, price and camera and other things are totally worth it. Ever there is very low availability of pixel devices in market I still able to buy the device (I'll give my honest review of pixel 4a in another blog). 

2. The Google OS

Well I love the stock android I really do. From last 10 years or so i repeatedly using Motorola devices just because of stock android experience but every time I compare my phone with any phone I keep asking question why have I purchased this piece of crap. So google OS not only complement the pixel device hardware but also maintains the performance every time I use my phone. The Operating System is just amazing. This is the perfect OS for any android device even without customizations the OS really great and with Android 12 update and android 12L(beta) ready to use in early 2022.

3. Updates and Pixel feature drop

Well this is the things which only for pixel devices well the updates either security or android get really fast and on priority basis. And pixel feature drops are nothing but randomly google drop features for pixel devices only.as people already know not many companies really care about the timings of update. The pixel update are really at time at most I get update on my pixel till 5th or  day of every month.

4. the just amazing Camera

I'm not gonna tell you guys about megapixels and all search google yourself so the pixel camera is just amazing even the device has a single camera but there is no compromise in quality anywhere. At first even myself didn't really believe what people said about about in review but after using it I realize it can give a competition to an iPhone camera. I'm not comparing them but the device is capable that can compete with devices like Samsung S series. below are some camera samples have a look and decide yourself how good the camera really is

5. The battery is amazing

Earlier I used phones with 3000 mah and last about half a day or in some case a bit more but my pixel device works unexpectedly best even with battery of just 3140 mah its a little larger than by previous devices. My pixel device last easily about one and a half day in most cases and in rare case a little bit less depending on usage. The battery performance is really amazing I honestly didn't really expect this performance but the google OS is just amazing it complement the hardware in best possible way.

So, these are the best highlights of my device that is pixel 4a there are many still out there but I believe these are the best one and most useful one. The features explained above are just a few benefits of pixel devices I'm using pixel device from last 5-6 months. And these are the features I believe are most useful and amazing at the same time. 

One more thing the google OS is not really like stock android I mean it is but instead of give third party "extra" apps the Google OS gives it's own so all I can say is the google OS does have Google bloatware or extra applications that even if nobody uses still they are present in phone but good things is the apps can be disable.

That's it for todays blog see you in next until then do share your thoughts in comments. 

Why Govt websites HANG but "OTHER/adult" websites doesn't || Here are some reasons.

 

First of all today's post is strictly for 18+ so kindly leave if you aren't. As you know that Indian govt and also government around world took numerous steps to ban porn from their country but none of them fully successful. All these websites are fully functional till date and millions of are active till this very movement around the world. So a website who no one needs works realy well whereas the govt website or any other website that need data from govt databases hangs like almost all the time. Its not something they never works afcose they work but if they didn't really work when we need them most what the purpose for them to work 

Well its no bad thing (I mean yeah its bad but not that bad)that our govt websites hangs a lot whereas other websites like "adult" never really get hangs. Don't judge me but that's a harsh truth. I remember exactly that day of my result and whenever I try to checked my result the website doesn't load up properly or end up saying "the page isn't working". My whole point is it's very painful watching something right in front of your eyes and still you can't access it.

 

But here are few "logical" reasons that kind of proves that its not fault of websites it's something else. I believe that the purpose of a websites plays very significant role in deciding if the website gonna hang up in near future or not. Let's get to the point NOW!!

1.  The Purpose : the government website have sole purpose of providing information of any topic that citizen of a country, state, city, village may require regarding any topic we can think of. So technically govt websites doesn't require powerful web server.

Whereas on the other hand the adult websites need to stream videos in upto 4K resolution so they need a really really powerful server that can able to stream data as well as handles a large number of users around the world.

2. The Timing : well this is something not really a reason but still it counts as how many times me, you visit the govt websites. Only when we need. It can be for result, service, tax etc etc and thee list goes on.

But when users really visits adult websites well the answer is all the time. I mean people or more specifically children are really crazy about the videos they watch or download or what ever they do on these websites. I'm not judging anyone for anything. This covid-19 is really a tough phase for all the people specially for children. My point is only a powerful server can handle million of requests at one time.

3. No of users : Well its pretty straight forward there are more number of users every day on adult websites then the total number of users visit the govt websites in whole year so yeah it's also a major factor.

well the list goes on and on. My whole point of todays blog is to tell people of India that it doesn't mean that if the govt website isn't working it doesn't mean the officials didn't want to do something its just that simply there is no need I do you really watch a movie, or download a movie in high resolution on a govt website well hell NO right? all we even go to website is for ourselves for our need of one day maybe for that movement only.

But the adult website is not a need it's addiction. When they first start it, they thought it's fun it is just to look cool. But let me tell you something it is only addiction and nothing else it only done bad to health than anything in the world.

I read numerous posts about people criticizing that govt never really manages the websites they never really works. Well to be honest its true but it doesn't mean they just stop maintaining them, it doesn't mean they completely forget/neglect the website. That's a straight NO. Because if they do you never get to see any of the service they offer to citizen of India.

Yes I never said they've done a pretty well job but I'm not done nothing at all either. So it's kind of debatable topic and I let you guys continue it in the comment section below. 

By the way I try to eliminate use of adult words/references because I know people never really care about age restriction. Oh well judging me? then start by a kid (minor) you see a definitely watch riding car or bike not alone but with his 3 or more friends

Thank you and I will see you in next post soon. Till then be safe

pegasus spyware is BACK ? How to SAVE your device || Full Details Here.

As I live in India there is a news covered on almost every news channel and website I did some digging myself and find out it the Pegasus spyware attacking Politicians and Govt Officials[any department.]. And same thing happening around the world

First of all the spyware is not really new If you google it yourself you find out its made by Israeli company in 2016. I really don't wanna go deep inside it like how it made, why does it made etc but I'll help you just click on HERE and you'll get all the basic information regarding the spyware.

What should you do Now?

Well being a spyware you really can't do anything. because a spyware is designed to be not detected but it not really good to exactly think like that. 

All you can do right now is taking precaution like don't click on unknown link or don't install any third party application

This spyware specifically targets mobile OS that is Android and iOS. Its really shocking. Right? I mean how can iOS can be infected with the spyware or anything. Many people think that but remember if it is not in news doesn't mean that iOS can't be infected with virus or spyware. It's also a software and honestly any OS like Android, iOS, Windows[You already know], Linux Distributions such as kali, ubuntu, parrot etc. all these software's are hackable and can be infected by virus or spywares.

Is there any possible permanent Fix YET ?

Well No, there is no fix yet. But I hope companies already start finding fix to this spyware so in near future you probably get the fix via Next OTA update.

Why Should we care ?

Well honestly you shouldn't care IF

1. Your account get hacked you'll just blame police, India being under developed country or any other reason

2. Your private data leaked from your phone but why you care as your phone is empty you have never clicked any picture of you family members, friends, you'll get the idea right.

3. Your location is constantly tracked it may lead to murder, robbery or even worst 

There are many points I can write down but I hope you'll get the idea why should you care if by any chance you don't understand just google it or comment below what you don't understand and I'll give you answer .

What you seriously do to be safe ?

As the spyware is really good and targets specifically whatsapp and telegram so if you don't really use any one of them just uninstall it. Apart from this just don't click on any link which you think that it's a fake[ Mostly fake link claim which possibly not possible like you win lottary or earn money Rs10,000 just by clicking the link or you received Rs 50,000 in your paytm wallet/bank or google pay account click to claim. Just read this line again from here "I shouldn't click on the link"]. 

For some time don't use any banking application on your phone for some time atleast until the fix is released for this spyware

Why this spyware ?

Well to be honest you are the people are the reason. Well there is reason and a strategy behind it actually. Your data [choices, likes/dislikes etc.] enable many companies to get rich that include Google, Facebook, Instagram etc. After the Apple iOS launch feature to stop application to track users activity[Basically user see less or no advertisements] a months back in iOS update 14.5 and now Google also planning to do the same with android 12[According to rumors]. These update basically cut the revenue from advertisements. Full details HERE. There is a rumor that this spyware is secretly purchased by Facebook to track user and again showing advertisements to earn profit.

How to identify if the phone is already infected ?

Well look for possible symptoms like

- Slow performance than before

- The battery didn't stay for long as before

- Look for any unfamiliar application and uninstalled it immediately.

In India PUBG[Tencent version], Tik Tok and other applications are banned but many people still use it by some trick, I recommend uninstalled them immediately

Being a application it has to use mobile resources to run so only that time you can notice some suspicious behavior of your phone. You'll definitely notice strange behavior of your phone if your phone is already infected and as soon as you find out try to format for phone [if possible] or just disconnect the device from any network[including internet].

How this spyware work[based on information present on internet] ?

This spyware is work in two way like as you know that all communications are designed to send and receive data and this spyware target this process so a hacker[attacker] send this spyware as a message, link, image or any thing to target or targets and also being communication two way so the attacker get data from your phone so most possible way to stop this spyware from working is to disconnect the device from internet and turned it on only in need but for some possible is not possible so all they do is look for possible activity on their phone.

If I leaving any important do comment that to get all information and that all for today. Have a nice day to you all. Be Safe
