instead of implementing noise cancelling it just yells at you louder when there is more outside noise (or piss). what could possibly go wrong?

Sagebrush posted:in quebec instead of april fool's you have "poisson d'avril," april fish, and the goal is to surprise people with a paper cutout or small toy of a fish. that's the entire prank. your mom gives you a bowl of cereal and there's a plastic fish in it. you go to work and your mouse isn't working and you flip it over and there's a paper fish on the sensor. someone tapes a fish to your back and you walk around like that all day. it is possibly the best prank humans have ever invented. no thanks, I'd rather have my operating system vendor prank me with some epic fake malware

The Management posted:many head units enforce that you’re not moving via the parking brake line. any competent installer knows to ground that line so that it’s always “parked” yeah, the alpine receiver I put in my car expects you to do some kind of brake-on-brake-off song and dance to get into the settings menu. I could never get it to work (probably because I am bad at things) so I bought a little circuit kit off ebay that sends it the proper signal automatically and now I can bluetooth in a moving vehicle

Google pushed out version 50 of Carrier Services, and afterward, many users—including Samsung, OnePlus, LG, Motorola, and TCL customers—have reported sending-and-receiving issues for SMS. Android Police says it has received some reports of users being automatically downgraded to the previous working version of the app, Carrier Services v48. If you want to check your version of Carrier Services, the easiest way is to open the system settings, hit the search button in the top right, type in "Carrier Services," and press the app info result for the Carrier Services app (it has a multi-colored puzzle piece next to it). If your Android skin has somehow broken the settings search feature (it happens), the long way is pressing on "apps & notifications," then "see all ~100 apps," then scrolling to find Carrier Services. Once you're on the App info screen, press "Advanced" at the bottom, and you should see the version string all the way at the bottom. If you're on version 50 and having problems, uninstalling app updates (available via the three-dot button in the top right) is a temporary fix.
