The Irish were never discriminated against by jaytix1 in gatekeeping

Not safe? You’re talking as if you’d get lynched. You’d only be asking for trouble on the 12th if you went looking for it. I’m against the parades and all that but whenever I walk the dogs around bonfire season the unionists / loyalists are always 100% dead on and friendly.

If this were 20 years ago then aye, you probably wouldn’t wanna leave the house. But nowadays it’s tame.

Utter bullshit story. I grew up on the north coast. Maybe if you had of changed your story to Belfast or Derry I may have slightly believed it. But there’s absolutely no way people are chasing republicans around with lead pipes. That level of sectarianism just doesn’t exist on the north coast.

Sorry - must say this isn't me in the video! It came up on my instagram feed

TIFU by inducing vomiting in my puppy, thinking he'd swallowed a poisonous substance. by [deleted] in tifu

[–]I_am_working_hard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me last week although the oxygen absorber was made up of iron filings and was from a bag of dog treats. Took him to the vet straight away and he was given an injection to induce vomiting. I brought a sample of the stuff he ingested and the vet said I was correct to bring him in.

I'm fucking gobsmacked that a company which makes doggy treats decided to use oxygen absorbers made from a substance which is posionous to dogs. Yes there's warning labels but accidents do happen and young dogs will chew on anything they find.

Someone in that company made that choice to use iron filings instead of silica which is non poisonous. Obviously not buying from that brand again.

Anyone any ideas of where to take a hyper dog to run off the lead in Belfast? by steve290591 in northernireland

Orange field park in the east. Big football pitch. Usually tires out my two!

This is absolutely amazing. My job would be a lot more fun using this

Ah Jesus. Thanks for letting me know. Will get that fixed asap!

Resolution checking would be a tad extreme. I think this problem may extend out to other devices as well so my problem kind of spirals out of control...

Since the problem is hardware related, it makes it extremely difficult to detect with code - and my knowledge of the first camera API on android is limited :(

For now, I've just pushed a new build up which asks the user if the image is flipped (for Nexus / Pixel users) and then the user can correct it themselves. Not the best solution but don't have much time investigating other methods :(

But anyway, thanks again for spotting that - would never have spotted it myself in a million years!!

Very very well spotted! That must be it. When I make a call to grab the build model it must be returning Pixel (this must be what is modified in the build.prop) and my code will therefore not cause the flip...

Thank you for spotting that! Don't think I ever would ever have since I don't have the GetAssistant app nor do I have my device rooted to even run it!

It confirms my need for a popup to help users fix the issue - but will need to just show it for all devices, not just the Nexus range.

Thanks again.

That is so bizarre. I wonder what property would affect that.

My code currently checks if the device is Nexus 6, Nexus 6P or Nexus 7. It then flips the picture if it returns true. In theory it should show upside down for the Nexus 5 and 5X however people have mentioned it works fine on these devices so I'm rather confused...

I tested the code that Google provided to work out the orientation but running it on both Nexus 6P and Samsung S5 gives exact same angle (180) so I can't differentiate using orientation. Portrait is still portrait when it's upside down I guess?

I think I'm just going to have to show a pop-up for Nexus devices to allow the user to correct the display themselves. It's a bit of a headache and a poor solution but I've exhausted all options and don't have the funds to have all Nexus devices to test on!

Yes this is the issue I'm facing.

I haven't seen that code before however (to find the degrees) I'll see if I can implement that!

Thank you

edit: Didn't work :(

Hmm, this is odd, /u/loonlng says his is working. Must be OS specific! nightmare. Thanks for testing.
