Considering an overwhelming response on my previous thread: Anybody attending Opeth - Mumbai and wants to hangout?

Thought of having a r/IndianMetalheads meetup at the venue.

So created a WhatsApp group to coordinate a d make some new friends.

Do join even if you aren't attending, the scene is shrinking and we gotta keep it alive. So we'll continue discussing and sharing metal and also organise future metal meet ups.

Join the scene 🤘🏻

Hello rock heads!

Anyone attending Opeth and wants to hang during the gig? I got fan pit.

For every quality post in this sub, there are at least 10 low quality posts requesting suggestions for IEMs under 5,000.

What's annoying in their attention seeking cringe images which are totally unrelated.

Mods, please ban them or curate these in a monthly mega thread.

We just inherited a textbook "yes-man" CTO—a rich marketing guy playing dress-up as a tech leader. Instead of fixing our broken data systems, guiding team leads, or streamlining how we work, his entire playbook is saying yes to every half-baked idea from sales and the CEO.

He quietly trashed our entire data setup and forced everyone onto Databricks. Rumour has it he got a nice kickback for it, and now we're locked in so deep the exit barrier is higher than Mt Fuji. Product and design have been totally pushed to the sidelines, with design taking the brunt of his unexplained hate. He keeps forcing the team to pump out random, rushed features, turning our product into a total Frankenstein monster.

It genuinely hurts to watch him inflict this kind of irreversible damage on a product we built with care.

His favorite party trick? Showing Claude to the CEO. The founders now think he’s a tech genius for introducing basic AI tools that we would have picked up anyway. Naturally, he steals every ounce of credit when things go well, but drops the hammer on core teams the second something breaks.

The founders are completely blind to the circus because they're loving the honeymoon phase of an executive who never says no. But the second the AI hype dies down or the cracks get too big to hide, he’ll be the first out the door. With his family safety net and sky-high arrogance, he has zero reason to stick around and fix the mess.

It honestly hurts watching a kind, great company culture get dragged down by someone who treats core tech like a personal plaything.

How do you survive a boss with zero real engineering skills, zero empathy, and a master's degree in corporate brown-nosing? If anyone has successfully helped clueless founders see through a hype-driven exec without getting fired, I could really use a lifeline right now.

Hey everyone, running into a bit of a wall with Microsoft 365 folder sharing and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I’m trying to share a folder (photos on OneDrive) hosted on my M365 account - purchased for cheap one drive subscription (Account A) with a friend using a regular gmail.com address (Account B).

Here’s what’s happening:

I generated a sharing link/sent an invite from Account A.

When Account B tries to access it, [ mention what happens here, e.g., "they get a permission error," "it forces them to create an organizational account," or "they keep getting stuck in an infinite login loop" ]. Plus they cannot view into their OneDrive "Shared with you" section on web or app. App is just worst.

Is there a specific setting in the M365 Admin Center or SharePoint/OneDrive sharing settings I need to toggle to allow seamless access for external gmail users? Or does the Gmail user need to register their address as a Microsoft Account first?

Any tips or troubleshooting steps would be huge. Thanks!

Also, sharing and entire access management on Microsoft is so damn convoluted.

Flying Mumbai to London via Abu Dhabi on Etihad, with a ~13.5 hour layover, and want to step out to see the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Two Indian passport holders, both with a pre-arranged UAE 48-hour transit e-visa (already approved) and valid UK visas.

Itinerary:

• Land AUH (Terminal A) ~00:45
• Grand Mosque visit slot booked for 09:00
• Depart AUH to London ~14:10 (same Terminal A)

What I am trying to figure out:

1. After landing at 00:45, can I stay airside in the transit/departures area (to rest and use a lounge that is open 24h) and only clear immigration later when I actually leave for the mosque? Or does AUH force all arriving passengers through immigration straight away? - This is the most important query.
2. The lounge I have access to (Pearl, via card benefit) is in Terminal A departures. Realistically, when is it reachable — only after I have cleared security for the London flight, or can I use it in the early hours before the mosque too?
3. When I come back from the mosque, is re-entry through immigration + security straightforward on the transit e-visa? Does stepping out and coming back use up anything on the visa, or cause issues at check-in?

Has anyone actually done the AUH step-out-for-the-mosque routine on a transit visa? Firsthand experience on the airside/immigration flow would help a lot. Thanks!

Couple travelling ~2 weeks in UK (London + Edinburgh) and 2 days in Istanbul next week. Need card advice from people who've actually tapped these recently, not brochure answers.

Main question: which card reliably works as contactless on TfL gates? I've read that many prepaid forex cards (MMT TripMoney etc.) fail TfL's deferred/offline authorisation — sometimes silently, leaving you gate-blocked or with an unpaid fare. True in 2026? Anyone tapped TfL with:

• Niyo Global (SBM/DCB)
• Scapia / Fi Federal
• BookMyForex / HDFC / Axis multi-currency prepaid
• Any zero-forex credit card

Also:

1. Istanbul: most prepaid cards have no TRY wallet, so every swipe is cross-currency + markup. What did you use there — zero-forex card or just USD cash → döviz exchange?
2. Any card that handled BOTH cities well?
3. ATM withdrawal fees experience in Istanbul?

Already sorted: one Oyster card, some USD cash. Just need the second traveller's tap-and-spend card nailed down. Firsthand experiences > theory. Thanks!
