Saw a lot of chatter around these tDCS devices. Hope this helps someone!

I pulled together a quick comparison of 4 consumer tDCS devices across

price, technology, user experience, availability, and ideal use case.

Not medical advice, just a side-by-side summary for anyone researching the space.

Biggest downside

Watched Kerala Story 2 last night on ZEE5, mostly because everyone was already fighting about it.

Expected the usual only: propaganda hai, politics hai, outrage hai, critics ne baja di, audience defending it, same cycle.

And yes, the film is loud. Very loud. Subtlety is not even in the building.

But weirdly, the part that stayed with me was not the political layer.

It was how all three girls slowly get cut off from family before the actual horror begins.

Calls become shorter. Parents become “controlling.” Friends become irrelevant. Relationship becomes the entire world. And by the time something feels seriously wrong, there is nobody left to call.

That part felt painfully Indian.

Not saying parents are always right. Indian parents can be dramatic, controlling, emotionally exhausting also. But the movie does hit one uncomfortable point: once communication with family breaks completely, manipulation becomes easier.

Movie has obvious flaws. Dialogue is heavy. Villains are one-note. Some scenes feel like the makers are shouting at you.

But the “parents are not always enemies” message actually landed.

Don’t blindly defend it. Don’t blindly dismiss it either.

Watch once if curious, then fight.

Everyone's busy tracking who's dating who and hardik pandya unfollowed whom... meanwhile Sanya just went and became a quizmaster on a kids show lol. and honestly? thats a better PR move than like 90% of what bollywood publicists come up with.

think about it. she ALREADY proved she can act. dangal, photograph, all of that. she doesn't need another "intense woman sitting in a dark room" ott role. instead she's hosting Smart Champs on hotstar... a quiz adventure show with actual school students... and she genuinely looks like she's having fun doing it??

here's why this is lowkey smart. parents remember you. kids remember you. schools talk about you. brands love you. ZERO controversy. just a well liked actor building a completely different kind of recall.

mark my words. in 5 years when she's hosting something massive people will trace it back to this.

Hey founders

I am the founder of an Indexing tool which indexes your site on Google, Bing and LLMs ( Its called indexerhub.com ) But this post isnt about this.

Its about what OTHER tools, tricks and strategies I used to get visitors and sales from ChatGPT within 30 days of launch.

Disclaimer - its not my first launch so I learned this by failing multiple times.

RESULTS OF INDEXERHUB TRAFFIC

( The analytics tool I use is called faurya analytics )

I launched the tool on 1st April 2026, Data since then -

857 Visitors

400 - Direct [ Reddit, X, Facebook etc]

200 - Google & AI answers

80 - ChatGPT Rest others

$350+ In revenue

Investment -

$79 in one AEO blogging tool

$20 ChatGPT

$20 Claude

$80 COGS [API and all]

Total - $200 approximately. [ I have applied for startup programs to save COGS ]

How did I got ranked on Google and LLMs so fast ? I did directory submissions? NO

I launched on HN, PH etc? NO

I spammed content? NO

I built pSEO pages and all? NO

I made free tools? NO

Then How? Yes that’s what my experienced told me, I focused on 2 things -

1. Highly optimised AEO blogging tool

2. Social posting with very useful content so that LLMs use it for answering their users.

AEO blogging tool -

I used Earlyseo - Literally the best blogging tool one can use, It got dataforSEO, keywords Everywhere, Claude, OpenAI, GSC, Google ads and more multiple APIs to write blogging content.

I inspected it brutally, even suggested some changes and then purchased for $79 a month, it kills. All of my blogs are indexed, and getting traffic.

Social Posting -

Total post I did in 30 days - 9 or 10 I guess, That’s it and all are being used by ChatGPT and Google AI overviews.

I wrote content that will help LLMs to answer queries of my users.
