Introducing the Google Pixel Upgrade Program in India
Google India Blog

Basically, Google wants you to use a new pixel every year without paying the full price of the phone. Here's how:

1. Buy a Pixel 10 series on 24-month EMI - ₹3,333/month on no-cost EMI (~ ₹4500 if Pixel 10 Pro/XL )

2. From 9th EMI onwards, you can upgrade anytime up to the 15th EMI to a newer pixel model.

3. Upgrade to a new Pixel. Cashify clears your remaining EMI. Your old loan closes without any penalty as well

4. Start a fresh EMI on the new phone

5. You can upgrade to a new Google Pixel without worrying about your device’s condition. Your Google Pixel is protected for up to 15 months when you decide to upgrade against drops and accidents, making every upgrade simple.

So, a new pixel every year without even paying its full price and when you don't want a new pixel, just complete its 24 month EMI.

You can learn more about this program here: https://www.cashify.in/pixelupgrade

Blame OpenAI for the death of Crucial Consumer Business and RAM, DRAM, NAND, SATA SSD, NVMe pricing going up because of their Stargate dream project.

Basically,
> OpenAI buys out 40% of global DRAM wafer till 2029
> They can't even use it, because it's not processed
> It's only so no one else can use it either
> They buy it with money they don't even themselves have
> OpenAI is also an unprofitable business and is already going into losses.

Researchers at CodeRabbit analyzed 470 GitHub pull requests and found that AI-generated code contained 1.7 times more significant defects and 1.4 times more critical issues than hand-written code. On average, AI submissions included 10.83 issues, compared to 6.45 in manual contributions. AI code also showed higher rates of logical errors, security vulnerabilities, and performance problems, including a 2.74-fold increase in cross-site noscripting risks.

Other studies support these findings. Cortex reported a 20% rise in pull requests per developer with AI use, but also a 23.5% increase in issues and a 30% higher rejection rate. The University of Naples noted AI code tends to be simpler but includes unused constructs. METR found AI slowed task completion despite users’ belief in faster work. Monash University observed that GPT-4 produces more complex, test-performant code that requires additional maintenance effort.
