Mine is 3 years and a half old. I've been using it without problem, except the usual : it was getting slower and slower. After 3 years, I decided to make a full factory reset.
Before : I had control over more things, many application were completely disabled, including Facebook (I never created an account) and Evernote.
After : I got back some battery life and speed, although it's not consistent, I have to reboot from time to time. But the most annoying is that I lost control over many applications. I can no longer disable Facebook or Evernote. Thanks Samsung. And I'm always getting the updates, although I disabled automatic update in the Play Store.
Samsung, give me control over the phone I gave you money to own !
Sadly, there is no LineageOS for the Note 4. There are for older models, and even for the Note 8, but not for the 4. Will I buy a Note 8 ? Guess what Samsung : I will not pay nearly 50% more for a phone that probably cost you less than the Note 4 did !
Weird, after an installation of Netatalk on my server, and the 3rd or 4th reboot of my MBP today, I got _both_ Netatalk and Samba working. What the hell has been going on in the while? Will never know? Sorry for the comments pollution!
I installed the latest macOS on my MBP this morning, and since, I unable to access my Samba server. It's still working from a Mini running 10.9.5 and a MBA under 10.11.6. Anybody else having this problem?
Cash can be laundered through many paradises. Did he ever heard of Panama ? Malta ? Delaware ? (Non exhaustive list) Many recent documentaries showed how money can be transferred through these countries and their rotten lawers companies without living town. I guess that for people like him, it's easy to forget because he gates (ooops, sorry for this one...) everything done for him.
Instead of changing Linux to render it compatible with the others, let's use the same multi platform open softwares. I know, it's not possible in 100 % of the cases, but for example, it took me just few years to make my father switch: - from M$ Office to OpenOffice, then LibreOffice - I can't even remember what he was using before Mozilla Suite (or what was it's name ?). A bit later, Firefox and Thunderbird - from Windows to Linux at one point
One universal point: whatever the OS is, he never know where he saves his files.
Their should be no problem to target some of the many people who supported the repeal. Starting with Pai himself. Then, if not the ISPs, the GAFA, Tweeter, Facebook, etc, could throttle down their services to show them what "no Net Neutrality" really means. Ideally inserting forms asking for money to get higher grade services. What about Cloudflare ? They said they were looking for all possible legal action to throttle Pai's Internet ?
I read IOHIDFamily, which contain IO and HID. Obviously, but, this means USB to me, and, doing basic math, I'm wondering whether a no-name Chinese USB device could use this hole to implant some malware.
1) batteries should be user replaceable 2) phone (or any other product) should be reparable 3) OS should be open sourced to allow scrutiny and avoid misconduct by companies. A battery has a limited lifespan, driven by the laws of physics. An OS should not have a limited lifespan limited by the will of Apple, Google or any other.
Won't this allow Kaspersky to sue US because a law is bad for their cash ? There are something like that in many treaties, between Europe and Canada for example. Governments make laws. Corporations feel armed and sue. People pay taxes to pay corporations. (sorry, I miss the correct English vocabulary to describe properly)
They are charging Intel or the customer? Yes, I already know the answer, but it is worth asking, isn't it? I'm asking because I don't understand why we should pay to remove Spy(hard)ware.
If they're so secure, why am I able to "impersonate" Google from my own mail server at home ?
As many people have I guess, I've been receiving, but also sending mails directly from home, from my own Debian Postfix server for years. Few months ago, I tried a very light configuration change, to make my Postfix server behave as if it were my company's domain server (which is handled by Google in fact). I'm now able to send mails as/from anybody from my company, to anybody in the company, from home ! May be to anybody in the world. I checked the full message content and found that Google thinks something is suspicious, but, ok, don't mind, let it go. Something related to SPF:
Received-SPF: softfail (google.com: domain of transitioning... does not designate... as permitted sender) client-ip=... ; Authentication-Results: mx.google.com...
I did not tried, but may be I can send a mail as/from anybody in the world to anybody in the world ! (may be just as long as their domain is handled by Google).
I explained that to the IT guys. I scared them, but so far, nothing changed !
I'm not a sysadmin (only at home), so imagine what real professionals / criminals would do, or are already doing.
I was poorly trying to refer to The Guide (the one which says "Don't panic"). I can't quote, but think it says something like : the most improbable things have more chances to happen.
But can you imagine me, a French guy, trying to make a joke on a mostly US site, using UK literature references...
"Nobody will be able to predict with any precision where those chunks of space laboratory will land on Earth until a few hours before re-entry occurs."

"The chance that anyone would be harmed by Tiangong-1's debris is considered unlikely."

You're not allowed to assert this. If a 100 kg debris make it to someone's body, he's very likely to be harmed. But who am I to tell ? I not with NASA, nor a Chinese... I may be a debris, let me check...
A new law just passed, authorizing police to ask for all and everything "electronic" identifier you have. Forget one and risk 3 years in jail and a 45 000 € (close to $53 000) fine. Link : https://www.nextinpact.com/new... (may be pay-walled)
Of course, this can only happen when you are suspected of communism. Oh, sorry, I mean terrorism.
Permanent exception state is coming so is the Orwellian France. Please, send UN troops to free the people !
Talking about soccer, the football game played with feet: can't bear watching a game. Overpaid players who miss everything they can, and who prefer to cheat, pulling shirts or worse, instead of fighting for the ball and the goal. Disgusting.

Thanks a lot for the tip! I will have a close look on this soon!

Simple solution: rename it Duke Nukem 3D. There was a freezing gun in it!

He didn't ask me
Regulation problems made Ferrari threaten to leave the Formula 1.
May be the logical step following the threats ?
Did the store add not stolen phones to the list of stolen ones ? Just to get more money from the insurance ?

Didn't know there was one. Didn't used Bing. That explains.
Note that a search feature may not be the main feature of search engines, especially the free ones. What ? They're all free ? So, if they're free ...

Not sure they're just idiots.
Oh, why not corrupt ? It also works, isn't it ?

Count me in.
I want to keep my 3 years old Note 4 as long as possible. Any news from LineageOS on this one ?

M. Torvalds, do you agree with this statement : "if it's made with C, it's nothing but a bunch of security issues ?".
Talking about soccer, the football game played with feet: can't bear watching a game.
Overpaid players who miss everything they can, and who prefer to cheat, pulling shirts or worse, instead of fighting for the ball and the goal.
Disgusting.
I guess he means the football game played with feet, not hands.
