Attached picture is the case.

It might be funny at the beginning, eventually the topic moves out to accidentally placed orders in Q_Comm.

How to solve such cases? 

From Consumer Side::
Few say app lock - okay
Few might say - not saving cards -> if wallet is topped up in thousands, still can be an accidental order 

From Brand Side::
Auto-read OTP - why should payment involved verifications need to auto read OTP?
Cancel order - Since the max deliveries happen in < 15 mins, they don't have option to cancel? 

Kids, these days have gained quick knowledge on how to use mobile phones, how should this be solved in the long run?

Not actually very conclusive scientifically, but I feel this makes a lot of sense. Mental health deterioration and social media usage seem to be increasingly linked.

- In Australia, spikes in psychological distress (a general indicator of mental ill-health) are driven by "millennials" and "Gen-Zs".

- The most recent Australian data shows that 40 per cent of 16 to 24-year-olds (Gen Z) experienced a mental disorder in the preceding 12 months, an increase from 26 per cent in 2007.

- In 2013, 97 per cent of Australian adolescents were already using social media (on any device). A 2017 study found teens averaged more than three hours of social media use a day across at least four different social media platforms.

- When looking at these two trends side-by-side, it might appear we have found our solution to youth mental health: restrict screen time.

My 2 cents to future Richie Rich parents:

Kids are growing up in a fast paced and curiosity driven environment. the dopamine hit is crazy on kids these days. I would not simply blame social media for all of these uncultured activities which are taken up by kids these days. But the generation is growing up that way. We have to help out our next generation to take up a sport or an artform to learn discipline. Which leads them in the right way shows them life is not easy .

I'm struggling with my relationship with my father. We're a family of five -  mom, dad, wife, son, and me. There's a lot of love, especially from him towards me and his grandson. He'd do anything for me, truly.
Everyone love him, but his anger issue no one can stand him....

He gets really fired up sometimes, and it creates a tense atmosphere in the house.

Couple of days ago we have small family function, our budget exceed And he was very angry he just started blaming us , I already tall you we just don't have to invite so many people.

It's not like we talked to him,,,but it doesn't work...sometime I feel like I should move another city as job excuse I don't want to leave my parents....I don't wanna my son grow without him.I don't know how it will shape our relationship.

First the audit report got delayed. Now they’ve reported a loss of over 4.5k cr. And I believe they’re like a mothership of edtech, if they gone down then the entire category goes down from an investment perspective

Tablet suggestions for notes taking

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hey folks, 
I am thinking of buying Ipad 10th Gen, wi-fi, 256 Gb configuration.
Primarily I was thinking of using the same to study and do research around new technology for eg to read new research papers and all.

Those who are using it, is it enough useful, what are your thoughts?

This might just be style quotient and spending around 65k might not worth it, so confused here!

Any suggestions?

Thinking of buying Ipad!

Not really sure if this is the right place to put this up but I wanted to take it out somewhere. I happened to be in a road rage recently. There was this Rapido/Uber biker who was driving rashly. I had seen him but didn’t bother and I was going my way. Suddenly, he overtook me from left and his handle hit on my bike handle. I shouted in panic and he was saying some random shit looking at me - You need to watch out, bro.. something like that.
I was safe and don’t think even the bike had any damage but I lost my calm and wanted to kind of scold him for how he was riding. I followed him driving rashly again for about 500m and caught up and shouted at him saying - bhai shanti se chala or nahi chalana aata hai toh kyun chala rhe ho. And I realised I was about to head on hit an auto wala but braked on time. That auto wala started giving me hand gestures. He was right. I did drive rash.

In the meanwhile, that biker guy went crazy. He got off his bike, took his helmet and signalled at hitting me. The auto wala was standing beside me and he asked what was happening. I said this guy hit my bike and tried to run away. The biker was speaking some rubbish something like - I warned you there also bro.. I went a little numb and didn’t figure what was happening. This guy hit me with his hand on my helmet. I didn’t get hurt but felt the blow. I tried saying something but nothing came out. He hit me again the same way. The auto wala tried to stop him. He kept abusing and then left. I was numb for a few mins. Left from there and reached home safe. 

I am just not able to get these thoughts off my head. The incident keeps flashing. I feel lucky to not have removed my helmet, tried to hit him back because I don’t know what that could have led to. It was clearly my mistake that I lost my calm and followed him in the first place knowing he was a rapido biker. I don’t know why I did that - may be work stress or may be some other trauma. I have been bullied at times in my childhood when I

- A study in China found that adolescents addicted to short-form videos have worse sleep quality and higher social anxiety.
- Short-form videos, popular on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels, are designed to capture attention quickly.
- Researchers define this addiction as a chronic obsession with repeated use of short-form video apps.
- The survey included 1,629 high school students and found a correlation between video addiction, poor sleep, and social anxiety.
- The study suggests that social anxiety partially mediates the relationship between video addiction and sleep quality.

Adolescents Addicted to Short-Form Videos Face Sleep and Anxiety Issues

I blame parents for this. Not that coaching centres are saints, they suck the life out of students by making them study 24/7 but the reason that child is in coaching centre is because parents put him/her there.

And every suicide letter I have read from students mentions that they couldn't fulfil parents expectations.

They are the reason their child is in that condition, just because they want to brag and seek validation  from so called society that their child is a prodigy (and want to establish that they are the creator of this prodigy) who went to medical/IIT. And if the child doesn't act acc. to their expectations, they start gaslighting them "We gave you birth" "Maa baap bhagwan ka roop hote hai how dare you blame us Or don't listen to us" 
I once watched a movie (don't remember the name) where actress says "As parent we determine if our child needs tuition classes but at same time we fail to know if he/she needs therapy"

Who do you think is to be blamed? 

Also parents on GV don't push your child if he doesn't want to fly, thinking he has wings, he may fall to death.

The Court was hearing a PIL filed by a Mumbai-based doctor Aniruddha Narayan Malpani who blamed coaching institutes for driving students to death

SC blames parents for Kota suicides, refuses to rein in coaching centres

Who do think is responsible for stress? Parents or coaching mafia?

The root cause of all this is overpopulation and a shortage of jobs. Coaching centers and tough parenting only exist as a consequence of this

If you do use it, please let me know how it’s going for you. 
Would love to hear opinions of this community on it

Designer’s review on an iPad

- Preteen girls are increasingly using anti-aging products seen on social media, leading to severe skin reactions and long-term damage.
- Dermatologists report a rise in young patients with rashes, burns, and allergic reactions from products not meant for children's sensitive skin.
- The trend is fueled by influencers and viral hashtags like #SephoraKids, pushing girls to adopt elaborate skincare routines.
- Experts warn that the obsession with beauty standards promoted online can harm girls' self-esteem, body image, and mental health.
- Calls for industry accountability and legislative action are growing, with some advocating for stricter regulations on marketing and sales of these products to minors.

Young Girls Using Anti-Aging Products Face Physical and Mental Health Risks

Recently read about something called short attention span and was taken aback by the very evident thing present in my habits and day in day out task that I carried out. Started observing in much more detail about how this is really affecting me and results are not really good. This is probably the root cause of all my unproductiveness. Feels like toddler now.
Observations
1.  mobile is directly or indirectly the reason behind this (Started reading books in order to overcome). 
2. Trying to do multiple things at once eventually leading to doing nothing.
You all get the gist. This is nothing strange. 
So wise people of grapevine how do you overcome this and also how do you reduce your screen time.

Dealing with short attention span

Parents of GV, what's the most hypocritical thing you've done in the name of raising your kids? Any "do as I say, not as I do" moments you're not proud of?

 "Please priorities your fitness. Aim to establish a routine and get into a shape you yourself are comfortable with and proud of."
