For all those who wanna know a clear answer: WhatsApp has two categories: B2C and B2B. B2C is the WhatsApp app that is used in our smartphones which is currently free and no charge levied. The B2B has two subcategories - WhatsApp Business app which is sued by small businesses on a smartphone and for large volume businesses, we have the WhatsApp Business API. To enroll and use WhatsApp Business API, you have to have a verified Meta Business Account, with a verified Business Portfolio - under which you can create WhatsApp Business API Account. Each WhatsApp Business API Account (or also called WABA) can have multiple phone numbers through which you can send your communication to users via WhatsApp. Meta has 4 categories of messages that businesses can use to send messages to users via WABA - Marketing, Utility, Authentication and Service. Till October 1st 2026, Service Messages was free from Meta. But due to increased spamming and issues, Meta has decided to charge each Serivce messages sent via WABA to any number as chargeable. Previously, Marketing, Utility and Authenticaion messages were chargeable but now, from October 1st, Service Messages are chargeable as well. The rule is that if a business is initiating any message to any user, then they cannot just send a Service Message. They need to send a template message (which are expensive than Service Mesaage like Auth or Utility or Marketing). If the user reads and replies back to that message, then a 24 hours Service Windwo starts, during which the business can send Service Messages. Service Messages are freestyle messages that do not require approval from Meta to be sent. The other three remaining categories of messages require a proper template creation and approval from Meta. That’s why Service messages is abused. Meta has several spam controls that allow it to cap or stop messages being delivered to users. This capping comes only in Marketing (Promotional) messages and in some cases for Utility too. Authentication templates message are only used for OTP purposes. These are all measures to curb spam and increase revenue for Meta from WhatsApp.

The best model in the world is right now Sol that actually works with you, understands taste and experience of using Codex. Unlike Fable that burns more tokens unnecessarily at times, Sol has been very cautious and attacks the problem from multiple fronts to analyse and understand the scenario

#tr33via The Million Dollars Gamble! Mark Welch Munroe was a banker in Quincy, Florida (US) & headed the Quincy State Bank which was quite popular amongst the locals. In 1919, Coca Cola went public with a share price of $40. By 1930s (Great Depression), it was $19. Knowing that the company had future potential, Mark gave out extra loans, urging people to buy & hold lots of company’s shares. In the end, the share’s dividends actually helped the people survive the market crash. As the company prospered, share prices rose & Mark’s gamble paid off - turning some of those shareholders into millionaires! And so, Quincy, once became the riches state in US! It’s estimated that a single share bought then is worth $10 million today!

#tr33via The Story of an Immigrant! A. P. Giannini, an immigrant, was Director at Columbia Savings. Till then, banks only catered to rich, ignoring the poor. He urged his bank to help them but in vain. In 1904, he founded “Bank of Italy” to provide banking services to the needy. Slowly, his business thrived. But later, an earthquake hit the city, causing deaths & damages. He collected all deposits & resumed his operations from home. He also started the concept of bank branches. In 1928, he bought Bank of America and merged it with his. By 1945, BoA became the largest bank in the US with over $3.2 trillion deposits. Highly successful, it financed $6 million for construction of Golden Gate Bridge in 1930s, loaned $2 million to Disney to produce Snow White movie & invested in a small startup that later became HP!

#tr33via Why is the CD only 74 mins long? In 1979, Sony and Philip joined hands to cooperate and launch a standard format for the CD market. It so happened, that a legendary opera conductor - Herbert Von Karajan - wanted to endorse CDs only if it could record the entire Ninth Symphony composition by Beethoven without interruption. Sony found the longest recording of the song at 74 mins - conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler in 1951. Sony Chairman, Norio Ohga and CEO, Akio Morita urged others to build a format keeping those specifications. A dilemma came between producing an 11.5 cm (Phillip) vs 12 cm (Sony) disc. Finally, the diametric length was decided to be 12 cm that recorded 74 mins of audio. But, when it was launched, the limit was set to 72 mins. In 1997, the standard of 74 mins was implemented.

The investigation to the recent Louvre heist in Paris “revealed that the password to access the museum’s video surveillance footage was simply “LOUVRE.” This password was used to access the server managing the museum’s video surveillance system. Additionally, “THALES” was another password associated with the security software protecting the museum”
At least it should have been "Louvre123"

*Citroen vs Nazis* When France was occupied by Germany in 1940, French factories, including Citroën, were forced to produce equipment for the Nazis. Pierre-Jules Boulanger, Citroën’s president, faced a dilemma. Refusing was not an option so he devised sabotage strategies to undermine the German military’s. One of Boulanger’s key tactics, involved deliberately slow production pace for Citroën T45 trucks. However, his most ingenious move was deceptively simple: he ordered the oil dipsticks of the trucks to be altered. By moving the notch indicating the proper oil level slightly lower, the engines were consistently underfilled with oil. German mechanics, unaware of the alteration, believed the trucks were adequately lubricated. The trucks appeared functional, but over time, their engines seized up, at critical moments during deployment. The damage was inflicted far from Citroën’s factories, leaving stranded Nazi forces helpless and enraged.

#tr33via The Crazy Irony! Napoleon Bonaparte, desperately needed cash to fund his wars in Europe. His colonies in the Americas, especially Louisiana, were becoming a burden — hard to defend and not making enough money. So he sold Louisiana to the USA for $15 million. But the US government didn’t have that much ready cash lying around. So they turned to big British and Dutch banks (Barings Bank in London and Hope & Co in Amsterdam) to finance the deal. These banks bought US government bonds — meaning British investors’ money was used to pay France. Napoleon grabbed that cash to build ships, train troops, and prepare for an invasion of Britain. So, the British banks ended up funding Napoleon’s army that was getting ready to invade Britain itself!
