@Seth Alcatel updates my OS when they want to I bought it on KitKat and a year later they upgraded it to Lollipop OTA.
 
Seth
Seth
@WinEunuuchs2Unix yeah. When you buy Android you need to buy carefully to keep getting the updates. Sometimes that means spending a bit more money, but it's important.
Unfortunately the manufacturers keep changing their tune so what brand to buy for updates keeps changing.
 
WinEunuuchs2Unix
WinEunuuchs2Unix
@Seth In all honesty I really don't care about Android updates. It's just a phone.... if it added more options to Stack Exchange app it would be worthwhile but of course it can't do that.
 
Seth
Seth
1:55 AM
@WinEunuuchs2Unix It's important security wise. There was a bug in kitkat, for example, where someone could send you a specially crafted MMS message and take over your phone.
And it rolls over to other apps too. In time Stack Exchange will stop supporting 5.0 too, and then you won't get any security fixes from them (not likely a big deal in the Stack Exchange app's case, but imagine your favorite texting app or something)
Unfortunately making our phones smarter also means we now have to deal with updates and major security issues.
 
WinEunuuchs2Unix
WinEunuuchs2Unix
@Seth I delete all the messages I get from unknown advertisers. As far as taking over my phone I was hoping to upgrade to Alcatel One Touch Idol 4 with 2 watt stereo speakers because these 1.8 watt stereo speakers are soooo 2015 :p
Sorry for being non-nonchalant but I really don't care about hackers. And I really do need an excuse to buy a new phone.... a new version of Android isn't one of them though.
I've got a 64GB micro SD in it and it's only half full so I can't use "not enough storage" as reason to buy new phone. Plus I could buy a 128GB micro SD so my excuses to buy a new phone are further delayed. sigh
 
Seth
Seth
2:18 AM
@WinEunuuchs2Unix yes but what if your friend's phone was taken over?
man, laptop docking stations are awesome. It's so nice to be able to set it down and instantly have 2 full size monitors, full size keyboard, and full size mouse. But if I need to go somewhere else just press a button, grab the laptop and boom.

@NathanOsman in relation to what? If you put them in closed software: trouble. If you load them at runtime (so people can change a theme) you are fine.
The 1st makes your software GPL. The 2nd does not.

Q: Booting Linux from USB without overwriting Windows

Keir SimmonsSo I was under the impression that if I flashed an image of Ubuntu onto a USB stick, connected it to my laptop running Windows 10 and booted it from the boot menu (F10) I would be able to use linux as usual without having to worry about my Windows installation. However, when Ubuntu boots, it brin...

I don't exactly remember, it was on a late actuality program. It was said that actually doing it would come closer with his support for the idea.

Jacob Vlijm

@ParanoidPanda To be correct, It was said that it didn't actually happen, but some scientists were making plans for geo-engineering; spreading reflecting parts in the high atmosphere to eliminate global warming. Now the president was in favor of those plans, the risk was that it would be done some day.

Well, this site claims that geo-engineering is creating clouds in order to hamper with solar power production because the Oil industry doesn't want it. I would say it's entirely possible, it might not be true, but it's not as crazy an idea as it was once.
 
user136984
But speculation won't help us, I agree.
 
user136984
So I think that the matter needs to be investigated. I heard that an Italian MP tried to launch an investigation into the matter a few years ago but that the government suppressed it. I will have to look into that.

@ParanoidPanda Pretty crazy. For one thing the costs would be prohibitive. For another, how do you get your clouds to stay where you put them? Generating clouds is easy, of course, but why in the world would you do that using commercial flights? Not to mention that the video you cite shows no connection whatsoever between the clouds and the planes. This sounds like typical conspiracy nonsense.

HA exactly the amount of letters allowed:
"better" is a matter of opinion. These questions get closed most time; only if there is a good definition of what you consider better is it possible to give an answer. But generally: what works for you is the better one (maybe you have old hardware that got dropped in a release or something really new that got included in a release). Now this wont happen cuz 16.04 is long term and 17.04 a continuation of 16.04 but this is just an example. Another one:17.04 will have newer versions,maybe bugs got fixed,maybe new bugs got introduced.But maybe you never see that new bug. Or never saw the old one. — Rinzwind 30 secs ago

They should change that max upvote thing. Make it relative to upvotes you got yourself: the more you get the more you can upvote yourself.
