@edwinksl This happens a lot

the price you pay for being omnipresent

Journeyman Geek

@edwinksl but being omnipresent means I wouldn't have suprise!

@edwinksl lol

flagged as dupe

the title says ubuntu 3

tags say ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04

but i see no indications of any of this in the post itself

Journeyman Geek

lol

wasn't the earliest release of ubuntu 5.10 or something?

4.10, my bad

edwinksl

if the OP's kernel is 3.13, then he's most likely on 14.04

hmm good question, let me go google, i am curious too

Anyone know how to takedown a youtube accout?

If you do report this person

report as copying PrestonPlayz profile picture and if there is a optional thing type this:

"Age is too low for Youtube, while copying PrestonPlayz youtube account"

Zacharee1

4:07 AM

I have two issues with that. One, I don't think it is against the ToS to use another user's avatar. I see tons of users doing it. Secondly, I don't see an age anywhere.

Zacharee1

so do you

Edity

watch one of his videos

Zacharee1

You only have to be 13 to have a Google account

most people bypass that. YouTube doesn't care, and if you do, you'll have to report at least 10 million users

@Edity you sound young enough if that if you ever claimed to be underaged, I'd need to believe you, and let a CM know.

It was already appearing, by the way. That's what the $ at the beginning of the warning message is. It's just that ipython is printing the warning to STDERR so that's appearing in your terminal. You could just start typing commands directly. Enter simply gets you a new prompt.

Seems that not many people like Google's choice of Nougat

Samsung has a "Beauty Filter" on the selfie camera applied by default

Beauty filter?

That means people like me would get censored? ;-)

Zacharee1

lol

it's like their excessive noise reduction they put on the Note 4 cameras, but I guess a bit more refined

> In its smartphone implementation phase detection usually relies on special photodiodes embedded into the pixels on the sensor. Apple even went as far as branding them as 'Focus pixels' when they announced the iPhone 6 - a proprietary term they came up with to describe conventional technology.

So true, so true

So the Note 7 is looking like a viable option for a phone. If they go with a 4kMAh battery, I might not even care so much that it can't be removed.

Byte Commander

4Ah? That would be huge!

Zacharee1

ikr

But the screen might be 5.8"

with QHD OLED

but since it'll probably have the Snapdragon 821, it'll use that battery a lot better than my Note 4 uses its 3220mAh

780mAh boost. Bigger screen, but better processor

Can't wait to see it. I really hope the Axon 7 comes out with a CDMA version though. Or we move to T-Mobile

Hey. ZTE lied. Why is Newegg selling the Axon 7 for $667? I thought it was supposed to be less than $500

Although ZTE still says the phone is Coming Soon

(There were two posts exactly like this, I flagged both of them, so one flag wasn't declined)

This is spam. The post is made, looking like a question, so that the user can post a spam answer or comment to it. I saw the same strategy for other things like 'what's the best mutual fund in the world?' or 'what's the best way to promote your xyz on amazon?'

Byte Commander

I flagged that one as spam as well and got a bunch of others together to do the same.

@Zanna Yup. That was me, and I was wrong. I thought the first post was just nonsense, not spam. That it was someone who was confused as opposed to actual spam bait.

So I declined your flag with that reason and later saw the answers and understood it was indeed spam. Sadly, I couldn't take the declined flag back.

Fired.

In general, we should be careful to only use spam flags for actual spam which is why I declined. Of course, in this case, you were 100% correct to flag it so... blush

Sorry!

Zanna

no worries at all, I am not upset about the flag, just wanted to raise awareness, but I see it was not needed

You ruined her 100% record.
