I still think someone should have done this as a pun and get your paper trending everywhere.


Probably because his first name is Chintala


That d be his last name


true haha


In the PDF they are all titled as

"Assistant Professor, Department of General Medicine, Arundathi Institute of Medical Sciences, Dundigal, Medchal Malkajgiri, Telangana, India"

The 2nd author is listed here: https://aims.ac.in/general-medicine/ I did not find any trace for the other two authors (do they exist?).

Also, look at the timings: Received: 16-09-2025 Accepted: 29-09-2025 Available online: 14-10-2025

That's relatively fast but also the paper is not super in-depth.

And in general it seems like that the "International Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Research" is not quite well known. See the Editors, not even pictures there: https://ijmpr.in/editorial-board/


The first author is probably him: Dr. G Naresh (Asst. Prof.)

Someone should sponsor that guy a gigapixel microscope such as those

Sorry to hear that.

But if you do not pay and you do not check your e-mails, it's basically your fault. Who is using SMS these days even?


I had payment issues with Hetzner too, that was back in 2018, haven’t used them since. At least back then, and at least for me, they were unlike any other provider I’ve used which would send you plenty of warnings if they fail to bill you. The very first email I got from them that smelt of trouble was “Cancellation of Contract”, at which point my account was closed and I could only pay by international bank wire. (Yes I just checked all my correspondence with them to make sure I’m not smearing them.) Amusingly they did send payment warning after account closure. Why not before? No effing clue. That was some crazy shit.


Yes, absolutely my fault. But these problems happen. Credit cards expire, people change companies or go on leaves, off boarding processes are not always perfect, spam filters exist.

Add to that the declining experience of email with so much marketing and trash landing in the inbox (and sometimes Gmail categorizing important emails as "Updates")

That's why grace periods for these situations are important.

Who uses SMS? This might be a cultural difference, but in Europe they are still used a lot. And would you be ok if your utility company cut your electricity bill just with an email warning? Or being asked to appear to court by email?


> Add to that the declining experience of email with so much marketing and trash landing in the inbox (and sometimes Gmail categorizing important emails as "Updates")

This is also something under your control - you don't have to use Gmail as your email provider for important accounts and you can whitelist the domains of those service providers if you don't rely on a subpar email service.


How long after shutting you down did they delete your data?

That period should definitely be longer than a few days.


Hetzner will almost immediately nuke your data if you miss a payment and often outright ban you and your business from ever using them again.

Hetzner is great for cheap personal sites but I would never use them for any serious business use-cases. Other than failed payments, Hetzner also has very strict content policies and they use user reports to find offenders. This means that if just a few users report your website, everything is deleted and you're banned with zero warning or support, whether the reports are actually true or not. (This also means you can never use Hetzner for anything that has user uploaded content, it doesn't matter if you actively remove offending material because if it ever reaches their servers you're already SOL.)


Hmm this sounds scary, even though I've had very positive experience with them. Any alternatives with similarly priced offerings that do not face this issue?


That sounds really bad.


totally agree. But in best case you check the reference Wikipedia is referencing which is usually the first source of a fact.


> There are plenty of other ways to build something other than 3d print.

Yes but the fewest come at the price and versatility as 3D printing. Injection molding is very expensive and hard to do in the basement. Wood working too, requires lots of time, skills and many tools...


> Injection molding is very expensive and hard to do in the basement

You can make everything in your basement, just like you can make a 3d printer in your basement, and for similar prices. Almost nobody does it, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

> Wood working too, requires lots of time, skills and many tools...

Skill is developed. You can do woodworking with just a sharp rock you find, no need for any more tools. Most people in woodworking choose to trade money for time and buy a lot of tools, but you can decide how far you want to go.

Time is the real constraint for everything of course. However that is my original point - if your goal isn't building a 3d printer (a fine goal) then trading money for time and buying the tools (which might or might not be a 3d printer) is probably you best bet. Assuming you have money to buy a 3d printer of course, but if you don't than a sharp rock and woodworking is probably your best hobby just because it is what you can afford.


For me the Google results are again at #1.

Isn't it just a temporary thing that search engines rank you down but you quickly regain popularity as soon people link the new one and they notice traffic?


In the old days using 301 permanent redirect to carry the mojo to the new domain was SEO 101.

I don't know these days ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


my Garmin Fenix 6 used to survive with 21 days of display always one but lowest brightness, if I didn't use any GPS. Now, after 3 years it is somehow down to 10 days. No chance of debugging where it comes from as I haven't changed anything on my side.


That sounds like battery degradation. If they aggressively use less than ideal batteries, ~50% degradation after 3 years is bad but not uncommon.


But I didn't have this issue with my other garmins before.

Also, you have to consider that I charge my watch ~10 times less than my phone (roughly every 10 days). So the total amount of charging cycles was maybe ~100 times.


I turned that off immediately. I don’t see the value when the gesture to wake it up works almost flawlessly.


I want to be able to watch on my watch without moving my arm. Unless it detects my eyes, it stays on :p


Also look at the historic CO2 emissions per capita.

And btw, we also burn plastic, just in facilities. Doesn't make it fundamentally better as the CO2 is still released into the air.
