Oh @Bob they've also "improved" the disabling of fast-charge with screen on in a recent update... instead of dropping the input power to 6W at whatever voltage it was before, it now explicitly reduces the input voltage to 5v 1A (instead of either 5v 1.2A or 9v 0.67A)
And you can't use the notification menu during the initial setup anymore
In Bizarro World, the Root Access denizens get their wish. In other news, $(FOO_NEW_SHINY_APP) is now available for the industry standard LG Android phones as well as the Microsoft Surface Phone (50/50 market share split).
Also in Bizarro World, the LG G6 experiences fatal battery issues prompting a recall.
I'm having a problem with ncurses-based applications not displaying box-drawing and line-drawing characters correctly in the default xterm-256color mode. It used to work fine but a system update broke it. Setting TERM to screen-256color works, but I don't want to do that (and it breaks colors in Emacs). How do I fix this?
@Bob Yup. My Nexus 5X died like this.
screen-256color on left, xterm-256color on right. What gives?
Anyway, I can appreciate wanting to expose everyone to some programming, but I think it's safe to say that not everyone is cut out for a career in software development
Everyone has different skills and interests, and that's wonderful :D
LOL... that image was as disturbing as the weird looking lady with "wat" with no teeth so that's where I got the idea from and posted right beneath. The difference is that pic is of a white lady and the other was of an Indian guy that at least still had teeth just not the cleanest—nasty teeth and big eyes can certainly be disturbing to some indeed.
I gotcha though—Understood, I'll behave better and watch my P's and Q's
ya, I figured that just wasn't sure why it was removed and not the other one but it's a matter of arbitrary discretion upon those with such powers and I respect that.
I'm satisfied regardless and respect it—I hardly get offended and especially by written words of people behind a computer screen let alone looking at someone in their eyes face to face in a meeting or an uncomfortable confrontation.
It's about other's and what their limits are and what they may feel so I still need to work on that in this environment.
Not sure what to do about this non-waterproof-but-otherwise-shiny-and-new-Galaxy S7,
Contemplating sending it back to insurance, sending it off for Samsung warranty or trying to fix it myself
Or sell it on Ebay and buy a dual-sim model
Round about the time Samsung finally fixed their phones to not require a restart after a SIM change, Sony (who makes my secondary phone) introduced the need to restart THREE TIMES to change SIM
@Bob Defective glue between screen and chassis. Or a botched job fitting it
@Bob woohoo an upgrade on my Z5C! Which was a downgrade from my Z3C which only restarted twice
And yeah, I much prefer not needing a stupid tool... But I have almost got one in my wallet and do have one on my keychain
At least the Samsung doesn't require a restart, even if they did copy Apple and their requirement for a silly pin
The Sony design is also superior in having separate direct access to the SIM and MicroSD so you don't have to unmount storage every time you want to eject the SIM tray or vice versa.
It's one of those apps that doesn't have effective settings saving via either Google backup or Samsung cloud. So one thing I always do on a new phone is to customize the overlay with some random combination of colours
@djsmiley2k "This should be on-topic for you" is not the same as "Don't migrate crap". So no, you can't summarize. Maybe you'll be able to summarize someday. Don't give up.
I think this may be a viable military option, and it avoids the issues China has with the US initiating attack. China doesn't want the US military in a unified Korean Peninsula and doesn't want the Kim regime to collapse. Chinese control of North Korea would avoid these issues.
Then again, I'm not happy that any sort of military action is becoming necessary.
Yeah, I could not fact-check this one.
Hence the RUMOR prefix.
The possibility cannot be ruled out, though.
I was very skeptical and tried to find other sources, but could not find any.
My gut tells me this may be fake news, but who knows?
The mere idea of a China-led invasion is very intriguing, regardless of whether it actually happens.
Note that China has threatened military action over this sort of nuclear test in the past so they're not above doing that: express.co.uk/news/world/790843/…
I think there will be one final threat against North Korea from China: "Stop working on nuclear weapons or we will take military action against you and shut down your regime."
This is all speculation. We'll see how this plays out over the next several days.

New phone. First time out of the house, on a 2 minute trip to the supermarket next door. Case and screen protector on. Dropped it, scratched it and dented it. Screen protector and case come off.
are you buying samsung products as an investment for the future when one of two things happen: 1. Samsung is dissolved for corruption 2. South Korea is a nuclear wasteland
@JourneymanGeek Have I told you about the six-figure contract for an agency to build a Drupal site, where said agency outsourced their development, and built a steaming pile of human manure, meanhwile there are multiple internal development teams?
