Laugh or Worry, But A Software Engineer got a FREE Trip by Auto Driver after showing his SALARY SLIP

Are you a Software Engineer? Well, If you are, then my sympathies are with you, and if you aren’t, then you must be friends with any software engineer, and you should show some sympathy to them. Dressed in Formal Attires, running to the job, thriving hard to complete 8 hours, being on the bench for a long time, sitting in the office overnight during peak seasons, and waiting for ages to get promoted- This is the life of engineers.

Even a cab driver earns more than an engineer. At least, this is what I have heard. And a recent incident has proved this to be true. An IT engineer just got a free ride from Auto Rickshaw driver, and we know the reason.

The incident took place in Bangalore where the guy works for a renowned IT Company. The tired and frustrated engineer was heading towards his home, and he was trying to bargain with Auto Drivers. After sometime he managed to find the Autorickshaw driver who agreed to drop him for a staggering Rupees 200 for 5Km distance.

And then, the frustrated Engineer kept on arguing for a reasonable fair. Because Rs 200 for 5 km is actually too much (No sarcasm). Amid the long heated discussion, Autorickshaw driver commented sarcastically for making big money in MNC yet not giving a little share of his success.

And immediately, the engineer pulled out the salary slip from his pocket to show the ‘Big Money’ he made and the auto driver was talking about. What followed was an Awkward silence as the Auto driver too was short of words.

The driver then asked him to hop in and offered him a free ride.

The driver was later contacted, who said, “I always thought these well-dressed laptop carrying men must earn millions every year. And this is common belief for our entire fraternity hence we ask for more money. But after I saw Mr. Sasta Gulaam’s salary slip I was shocked. I earn that much in a week. Hence felt pity and decided to help him”.

Though it might be a bit funny, it shows the dark reality of the employed youth. Well, hats off to the driver.

Apple is updating its software to combat chip security holes 'Meltdown' and 'Spectre'

Apple is updating its software to combat chip security holes 12:27 PM ET Fri, 5 Jan 2018 | 00:47

Apple said late Thursday it will release more software updates to protect against recently disclosed security vulnerabilities.

This marked the first time that the company had made a formal statement about the "Meltdown" and "Spectre" vulnerabilities, which were reported to affect phones, servers and PCs.

Apple said recent updates to its iOS, macOS and tvOS operating systems included protections against the Meltdown issue, which has been shown to affect several Intel chips. Apple said the operating system for its Apple Watch didn't need a fix for Meltdown, or the Spectre vulnerability.

Spectre affects more chips, including the Arm processors used in iPhones and iPads. On a new support page on its website, Apple said the vulnerability is "extremely difficult to exploit." Nonetheless, the company said it will issue updates to its Safari browser for iOS and macOS to close the vulnerability "in the coming days."

Apple said the patches will have "no measurable effect" on performance. It also recommended that customers download software only from "trusted sources" like the Apple App Store, "since exploiting many of these issues requires a malicious app to be loaded on your Mac or iOS device."

Google and Microsoft have taken steps to protect their browsers alongside Apple.
