@MichaelKjörling Lol that happened to me once when the dog peed on the switch, it made just enough connection to power on and off randomly. So while it is not likely to be the PSU , and i would agree with all the stuff oliver said, you could easily check the switch, even disconnect it off the motheboard , to see if it is capable of doing anything without it. Or it is some software or bios stuff. IF there is full power removed, do you have it set to stay off or start back up?
Me I wouldnt let the gremlins set me up for work, So i would (also like oliver said) not worry about it till i caught it in the act :-)
I've visited superuser.com and security.SE every day for the past 99 days to get the gold badge.. and for some reason my security.SE counter reset, but my superuser one is the same -.-

"Hi
Thanks for emailing us. We post this because there are instances where the user created fake accounts/emails and enroll it in the referral program. As long as the email is valid then there's no need to worry
Let me know if you need further assistance"
I asked to give me their definition of "fake accounts" but that's all they said. What is valid email? How can email be invalid?
> And America uses this world view to embarrass India on global forum, proposing that India needs the West to "save Indians from India". What this does is it makes Indians (especially Indian-origin Americans or "Westernized" Indians) ashamed of being Indians/Hindus. Plenty of them not only reject Hinduism and Indian-ness but they also end up spewing hared towards themselves in order to appear "modern", "civilized", and "acceptable" to their American brethren.
haven't run the Kindle app since powering on my device. Then I send an MMS to someone. Then I get an FC notice that "Amazon Kindle has stopped working." !!meme okay
@Ramhound me too :D me, MichaelFrank and Bob have played together at one point or another. do you want to queue up too?
@allquixotic That's one of the things that annoys me about Android, the only way to guarantee that an app doesn't just run whenever it likes is to uninstall or disable it
Give me a decent startup manager and let me decide what the hell I want my device to do. We need a "not-an-idiot" mode that basically gives you root without the warranty invalidation
@HackToHell what is that on about? geez. the only negativity I've seen towards Indians at work has come from other Indians! O_O
some of the male managers can be fairly condescending to the female regular employees, especially if they are from a different culture of India
@Mokubai Android 4.3 introduced a feature letting you customize which permissions each app has, which is 90% of what you want, but they removed it in 4.4, saying "oops, we didn't mean to add this feature, it was a mistake, because this makes apps unstable"
what they REALLY meant is "we got 100000 emails from apps that survive by serving up ads and stealing your user data telling us they'll leave our platform if we don't remove this feature"
@HackToHell Which is what I'd rather avoid, I like having a warranty on my device... and rooting might set the dreaded "knox bit" on my phone which from what I can tell seems to mean that Samsung wont honour warranty...
@HackToHell because it has 2x more battery life and 50% better performance per watt than your phone? because it's the most durable phone in the world and doesn't need a case or screen protector? because it had "OK Google Now" 6 months before Google made that a standard feature?
my phone is: my primary home internet connection and it's faster than most peoples' landlines; my lifeline in case I get in a car accident; my navigator when I drive somewhere I'm not familiar with; my communication interface to the world when I'm away from home; a serviceable casual gaming device when I'm waiting around; and my primary digital camera and flashlight. I'd say that's some reason to buy it.
not customizing it with some fancy firmware or "Xposed" is not an argument for the phone being useless or bad in any way. rather, I'd argue that phones that need customization to be usable are bad phones anyway, and shouldn't be purchased.
@Bob My current phone did this twice when I first got it. If it went flat, it wouldn't boot past the splash screen unless I ran the factory recovery on it.
@Bob I customize it by installing apps, changing settings, setting up my accounts, or anything else I need to do. My point wasn't that I don't ever customize any phone; my point was that rooting doesn't give me any customization options that I need to make the phone work exactly as I want it to.
I don't need to root my phone for the same reason that I don't take apart my car's engine and install a custom turbocharger... it's not easy; it has significant drawbacks and risks; it makes it more unstable; and most importantly, it works 100% fine as-is.
also, I've heard reports of malware being installed by these seemingly awesome third-party rooting/unlocking/customization things.
put yourself in the shoes of an Android hacker/developer with tons of knowledge who's releasing what is often closed-source code for free that many people consider to be highly desirable and popular: how long could your morals hold up to keep you from embedding some malware/spyware, before you start to try and profit from people running your code?
you may think you would be able to resist the temptation, but I wouldn't put the same faith in every single exploit/customization dev out there.
company developers on the other hand have a much greater stake in the issue, because (1) they get paid to work for a living, and (2) if the problem is exposed to the public, their company faces millions or billions of dollars in damages, and the individual employee responsible may also have legal action taken against them
my software trust spectrum goes: open source commercial > open source casual >>>> closed source commercial >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> closed source casual
the least trustworthy software that's humanly possible to acquire is stuff done by some guy in his basement with no code available... that's practically begging to install a virus/malware/trojan.
even if it's found out, the guy can easily just disappear from the internet and never face any consequences
hi! i'm new! is this like irc? i'm completely lost trying to resolve a bunch of networking issues and i'd like some guidance on how to start... asking questions.
main issue and the most annoying one is that i often get massive internet latency spikes, up to 200 seconds, but without disconnecting. started at some point in february after rebooting my router pc.
last month i found that the whole network had frozen and tty1 of that router pc had a bunch of kernel messages about the buffer of the wifi card being full (sorry - didn't copy the exact error message), so i decided to disable that wifi AP interface and remove it from the bridge, which improved the situation... probably. not sure. still getting some lag spikes sometimes, but not as often. not completely sure if placebo
it's random and i've never found any relevant logs when it happens, or IO / CPU / network usage spikes (well... network usage spikes are bit hard to measure if nothing is going through)
