Traffic density doesn’t cause any problem

It does when the traffic is so dense that you can't get by even on foot, let alone on a bike. I've had the misfortune of spending 20 minutes marooned in the same spot in the middle of a traffic jam because I was boxed in with no space to pass anywhere.

We take "bumper to bumper" traffic quite literally in this neck of the woods.

There's actually pretty decent public transit on my route, but I'd have to take a bus for half of it, which...well, see above.

14km one way. Takes me a little under a half hour to get to work in the mornings, longer on the way back home because there's a fuckton of unruly traffic at that time of day

I'm an old hand, I've made it this far

And next to no cycling infrastructure, which is why I have to go to war with cars and big-ass trucks on the roads every day

The (upper-caste) people in charge are often itching to acquaint people from the lower strata with the business end of a noose at the drop of a hat, so that tends to hamper efforts towards a workers' union -- but even so, there are some pretty significant efforts here and there

That is a land manatee

Ugh I really don't want to have to do that

Nah these are apps (WhatsApp, Signal, phone calls) that I use pretty much every day so it's definitely not due to permissions. I also messed around with codecs in the developer settings and that didn't work either (and also it resets to default anyway when I unpair and pair). It's beyond infuriating -- even oneplus's own TWS buds don't work with this

I've been scratching my head with this one for close to a year now.

About a year ago my OnePlus Nord CE3 (Android 14, now Android 15) suddenly stopped recognizing the mic on any Bluetooth devices -- even when a device is connected, it stubbornly uses the mic on the phone itself, never the one on the device.

I've tried this with two pairs of TWS earphones and a Bluetooth speaker, all running either Bluetooth v5.2 or v5.3. All three of these devices work perfectly when connected to my Windows laptop.

Help? This used to work, I can't for the life of me figure why it stopped.

It was the launcher! I tried out Microsoft Launcher and that looks so much better. Thanks!

And the ruling BJP is the worst offender as far as that despicable practice is concerned
