A film's censor board certificate is required to be published in the Gazette of India by the Cinematograph Act, 1952. In the 2023 amendment, the government did not remove this mandate. Yet, CBFC refuses RTIs for certificate copies under Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act.

Today @Vonterinon and I are launching CBFC Watch, an archive of over 1 lakh censorship records for ~18k movies released in India since 2017. For the first time, you can search for any movie and see how they were modified before release.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

I’ve seen this movie before, and spoiler alert: it doesn’t have a happy ending. What surprises me is how normal it feels for folks to ignore the obvious red flags—and, in cases like this gentleman’s, even throw a party for them. Let’s be honest: it’s nothing but glorified pickpocketing, just with better Wi-Fi.

Apple released a hearing aids feature for the AirPods Pro a while ago. I bought a pair for grandma, but then realized that the feature was geoblocked in India
So we at @_lagrangepoint decided to unblock it. It ended up involving a leaky microwave and building a Faraday cage:
