well

According the imei.info, my phone's IMEI number is for a Sprint Galaxy S5. According to imeidata.net it's for a Galaxy S3. I have a Verizon Note 4 o_O

Videonauth

thats the problem with IMEI numbers, the only country which actually enforces unique IMEI is the US, but most of those phones are import models, so IMEI numbers have even doubles

not the best system but who have thought that mobile phoning would become so popular

Zacharee1

But I'm in the US :p

Videonauth

yep and probably using an imported phone which you got from verizone within a package with a tarif plan

RobotHumans

Same with network card MAC addresses. Knew a hospital that had a problem once.

Zacharee1

@Videonauth well it is Samsung, which is Korean, so I guess they could get around manufacture laws

@RobotHumans huh

Videonauth

12:06 AM

yeah MAC is as well to short to handle the massive amount of devices today

Zacharee1

@Videonauth If IMEIs aren't unique, why are people so scared that they'll be stolen?

Videonauth

because of people which are overly paranoid telling them

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda tsk tsk tsk

:p

Videonauth

im counting out pandas here :D

in fact the chances are very high thea somewhere on this world multiple devices exist having the same iMEI number as your phone has

Zacharee1

another site's seeing the S3

Well, seeing as one site finds a Sprint S5 and two find an S3, I'd say there's a slight possibility @Videonauth :p

Videonauth

12:17 AM

wow just in time answered now the question is closed lol

@Zacharee1 see my awesome skills of edit-fu askubuntu.com/q/777562/522934

Zacharee1

3rd site finds S3 again

Videonauth

12:22 AM

simply couldn't resist

Zacharee1

heh

good idea though

Videonauth

yeah those databases simply display that what they already have seen

Zacharee1

yeah

Well Swappa found my Note 4, found an S5, but on Verizon instead of Sprint, and found an S4 instead of S3

weirdness

Another site found the Note 4

RobotHumans

Maybe the Note 4 was more popular than the s3 or s5 and borrows chips from their allotments, because sales.

Zacharee1

So it isn't that some phones have the same IMEI in this case. It seems like Samsung's just using a random number generator and getting repeats :p

@RobotHumans maybe, but why would an S3, S4 Verizon, S5 Sprint, S5 Verizon and Note 4 Verizon all have the same IMEI? Seems a little careless IMO

5 devices lol

RobotHumans

12:27 AM

eh. maybe it's at the end of the number namespace for one of the units and they used the rest in other devices willy nilly

Zacharee1

heh

you get an IMEI, and you get an IMEI, and you get an IMEI and you get an IMEI

Everyone gets the SAME IMEI! :p

Videonauth

mei mei mei :p

Zacharee1

And then there's the MEID, which on my phone is the IMEI without the last number :p

@Zacharee1 PTSD can lead to loss of sleep, because the thoughts are reoccurring, and maybe even worse during dreams

Melatonin is a naturally-occurring substance in your body that increases in production as light outside decreases. More importantly, blue light, which is why computer or phone screens can keep you up.

Zacharee1

@onebree Thx f.lux

Anonymous

The melatonin you purchase is in small doses (usually 3-10 mg), just enough to put you in this state. It is helpful for someone stressed by something minor.

A stronger reaction is benadryl, or rather the active ingredient. While it is an antihistamine, such substances can be used to encourage sleep (Z-quil, same as benadryl), or in different doses can be used as anti-anxiety medication

Zacharee1

Yeah. I took some Benadryl last night because I didn't want to risk third almost sleepless night

To control PTSD really requires therapy. It is not necessarily a chemical imbalance, but more psychological (than psychiatric).

Well i see onebree has deeper insights in that, im using flunitrazepam as sleep medication

Fun facts:
1. As you age, you require less sleep. You can still sleep 8 hr, but your body technically only needs 5 at say age 60 (something like that)
2. Some people can get by with 3-5 hours sleep and it not affect them. It is not the best, but their brain function isn't as bad if someone e;se slept 3 hr

If I remember correctly, I believe PTSD and OCD are in the same family as well. OCD is more specific, in that there is usually routine involved. But it can be more general, manifesting in thoughts or feelings without an immediate trigger.

@onebree not quite, would be hard to put an obsessive control disorder in the same family with a post traumatic stress disorder
