5G / Wi-Fi / Jio FTTH Router Auto Update of Firmware

« Last post by wiredlife on June 28, 2022, 10:06:24 AM »

Sometimes, Jio does Firmware Update on the FTTH Router resulting in WiFi connections not working. What the update does is changes the SSID and hence the problem.

How to Change SSID of Jio FTTH Wifi Router ?
On your mobile, turn on "Mobile Data Internet".
From your MyJio App, Access the Settings and Change the SSID as well as Password.
Since, your FTTH is ied to the App, any changes in the MyJio App will get reflected to Jio Servers in Mumbai which in almost real time pushes to the FTTH Device (Router).

Now after 5 Minutes, when you turn on "WiFi" on your Laptop / Mobile, you should be able to see the new SSID. Choose to connect, enter the Password and you are all up and running.

Update the new Password in your WiFi Printer as well.

Web 2.0 / Migrating from Google WorkSpace / Suite Emails to ZohoMail

« Last post by wiredlife on June 28, 2022, 09:54:04 AM »

The following have to be adhered.

1. Verify Domain  + Change MX Records to Zoho
2. Go Back to Google Workspace - Change the Cloud Settings as given in their settings (Basically Permissions)
3. For Each Individual Inbox,
Enable IMAP +  Enable Access to Less Secure Apps
4. Crate User at Zoho
5. Create Migration, then Add User Created in Step 4 to the Migration then "Start Migration"


For a MailBox with Lot of Sent + Incoming e-mails + Mails in Various Labels - Migration is terribly slow. 1 Hour / 1 GB.

3G / HSPA / EVDO / Data Traffic Growing amidst Tariff Hikes

« Last post by wiredlife on June 01, 2022, 08:32:16 PM »

The healthy data traffic growth for the 3 telcos despite the tariff hikes suggests that down-trading to packs with lower data allowances was limited. The other common observation was the double-digit QoQ increase in S&D expenses as the industry has stepped up competitive intensity on channel payouts and customer acquisition. Capex remains elevated except for Vi that continues to grapple with a stretched balance sheet.

The near-term headwinds are: 1) a slowdown in smartphone uptake due to chip shortage and rising prices; and 2) higher diesel costs
(every 10% increase in diesel cost results in a 25-40bps mobile Ebitda margin hit). Another round of tariff hikes later this year could happen, providing a fillip.

Technology / KiranaTech - Startup Failures

« Last post by wiredlife on May 28, 2022, 08:03:18 AM »

Dukaan Tech, in its purest form, involves building tech for shops. Any shops. Whether it's a kirana or, say, a mid  sized supermarket chain. They thought it was a step towards a full-stack offering-bookkeeping, cash-flow management, inventory tracking, etc

Khatabook and OkCredit have raised $187 million and $85 million respectively.

OkCredit decided to shut down its digital storefront for kiranas.
Khatabook, which also shut a similar offering called MyStore in November 2021

The bookkeeping segment grew popular quickly-four-year-old Khatabook claims to have over 10 million monthly active users (MAU) as of January 2022, while six-year-old OkCredit reportedly had 5.5 million as of November 2021.

Digital storefronts are nice and shiny things for a kirana to have, but they're useless in the absence of robust inventory management systems. Cash flow is Supreme. A shopkeeper does everything to ensure that it's uninterrupted. They buy supplies according to how much money they have in hand; they get credit depending on the sales they're anticipating. If you ask him how much does he take home, he won't be able to tell.

In this backdrop, Shop Keepers won't payback OkCredit or KhataBook and thus both had to shut down this part of the business.
