Jolla Recovery - last resort for Enterprize WiFi bug

-
So today I decided to take the plunge and completely reset my Aquafish to recovery image to see if I can get the enterprize WiFi working.
A bit of background: SFOS did not support Enterprize WiFi using TLS etc back in 2.0.5.6. In 3.1.2 I guess, they added support for that. I have Work WiFi at office that uses TLS with MSChapV2. And on 3.1.2(or whatever that release was), I did manage to connect to my Work WiFi once. The Captive portal login appeared in SFOS browser, I logged in and was able to access the internet. But after that one time it never connected.
So I reset Jolla, upgraded once again and tried but to no avail. Now Recovery image reset is something else. It does not just reset the settings. But rather wipes out the partitions and writes partitions from recovery image.
The process is straight forward. Remove the battery and after inserting use [power] + [vol+] button to power device in Recovery Mode. The phone displays message to conenct to PC using USB cable and ssh to it's recovery IP.
I used ubuntu for this and it worked brilliantly. The phone is reset to 2.0.5.6. Lets update and see if Enterprize WiFi works or not! Cheers!

QCalendarWidget CSS Stylesheeting

-
Recently I had to implement a calendar for a TouchScreen application. I resorted to css to modify the calendar widget's appearance so that it would be more accessible. Following is the code that enabled me to get a proper calendar. calendar->setStyleSheet("QMenu { font-size:20px; width: 300px; left: 20px; }"     "QToolButton {icon-size: 48px, 48px; font: 20px; height: 70px; width: 100px; }"     "QAbstractItemView {selection-background-color: rgb(255, 174, 0);}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator{ width: 50px;}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:pressed,"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:open{ top:10px; left: 10px;}"     "QTableView { font: 30px; }"     "QSpinBox { width: 100px; font: 20px;}"     "QSpinBox::up-button { width:40px;}"     "QSpinBox::down-button { width:40px;}");

Selecting new phone plan

-
I use a Reliance Jio SIM as my one and only cellphone number. I used to have another, but I found little use for that. So I discontinued that other SIM card. It was a Vodafone SIM and I had bought it thinking I would be using it when I visit my hometown. Turns out it's not usable there. So adios. Coming back to Jio, it was working so far so good for a while. And it was quite cheap. Then they increased the fares about 4-5 months ago. And it was costing ~Rs 7 per day. This was for unlimited Jio-Jio calling, ~300minutes free to other telcos, and 1.5GB daily cellular data. Now I got home internet, so I thought to cut costs on this. The current plan goes for INR555 for 84 days. This includes 1.4GB 4G cellular data per day, 300 min calling to other telcos, and jio-jio free. That's Rs 6.6 per day. Now I'm not even using 30minutes calling per day. And due to home internet my cellular usage has gone down. So I decided to go for some other cheaper plan. This one is INR1299 for 336 da...
