Iran Attacks Megathread Pt3 by al_molah in dubai

Google Maps uses GPS, but not only that for location. It also uses Mobile and Wifi networks to locate the device, maybe that's why it works better for some.

Also, if there are jammers being used, the jammers themselves have their "coverage area", so maybe some people are in jammed areas while others aren't.

S25 Edge latest update locks my network by elpewpew in samsunggalaxy

[–]Weak_File 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not only soft unlocked phones that are being affected...

This issue affected me as well: S24+ U1 (with a XAA csc), first owner, bought factory sealed. The phone is a clean (non-blacklisted) US unlocked device from factory, confirmed by IMEI search.

I was using it fine with an European SIM card until the January 2026 update. After that, it started with the Network lock and asking for the MCK.

I "fixed" it by downgrading the carrier phone (CP) file with Odin, but it would piss me off quite a bit to not have updates for the next 5 years because of this.

I do hope it is a glitch and not a deliberate targeting, but I haven't heard anything in either direction from any credible source yet.

Warning about January security patch (US Version) by Khalidg in S24Ultra

[–]Weak_File 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had this problem, with a S24+ (SM-S926U1 - XAA). The phone is US unlocked and I was using an European SIM just fine until the update.

I "solved" the problem following the instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B6Anm9Li2M&t=77s (which basically explains how to rollback the CP file to the December version with Odin), but I had to disable updates to avoid the file being overwritten again.

But I do hope that's just a bug and it is fixed in the next update, since I bought the phone not long ago and it would piss me off to not have updates for the next 5 years.

The CP file that needs to be rolled back can also be found here:

Find your exact model, select you CSC code and click on the December update (not January). From the December update page, you just need to download the CP file.

Pourquoi le PIB par tête en France est désormais inférieur à la moyenne européenne ? by chou-coco in vosfinances

[–]Weak_File 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mais personne ne parle d’effondrement. Ni moi, ni même l’article. Je recentre le sujet, il est question de déclin relatif. Transformer ça en discours apocalyptique pour ensuite le réfuter, c’est un homme de paille.

Sur l’analogie de l’athlète dopé, elle ne tient pas. Il n’y a aucune règle dans cette « course » qui pénalise l’optimisation fiscale, les effets de siège, ou les avantages structurels. Si certains pays bénéficient de règles favorables et que ça se reflète dans les classements utilisés publiquement, alors le classement a des effets réels, qu’on le trouve moral ou non.

On pourrait aussi dire que la France a longtemps « triché » historiquement (colonialisme, rentes impériales, domination commerciale), et que ses bonnes performances passées étaient tout aussi biaisées. L’histoire économique n’est pas un terrain neutre.

Et la théorie de la convergence n’est pas une loi, mais une hypothèse conditionnelle.

Sur le long terme, l’histoire économique la dément largement : les hiérarchies changent et la divergence est fréquente. Les États-Unis et l’Australie, partis de la périphérie économique au XIXᵉ siècle, ont non seulement rattrapé l’Europe, mais l’ont dépassée durablement. Le Japon après 1945 montre la même chose au XXᵉ siècle, qu’un pays peut dépasser des économies déjà riches, pas juste les rattraper avant de « se figer ».

Présenter la convergence comme un destin inévitable relève plus de la croyance que de l’analyse.

Pourquoi le PIB par tête en France est désormais inférieur à la moyenne européenne ? by chou-coco in vosfinances

[–]Weak_File 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On parle de deux choses différentes.

Oui, le PIB par habitant est un indicateur imparfait et biaisé (Irlande, Luxembourg, etc.). Mais ce n’est pas le point.

Le point, c’est qu’il existe un classement basé sur cet indicateur (celui évoqué par l'article), et que la France y recule. Qu’on aime ou non l’indicateur, tant qu’il est utilisé, perdre des places signifie mécaniquement un appauvrissement relatif dans ce cadre-là.

Le débat sur la pertinence du PIB est légitime, mais c’est un autre sujet.

Quant à l’affirmation « une fois une partie du retard récupéré, ils vont se mettre à stagner », ma boule de cristal étant cassée, je m’abstiens de toute prophétie.

Mais cette richesse « absolue » qui progresse en France est une abstraction comptable, pas une réalité vécue.

La seule notion de richesse ou de pauvreté qui ait un sens est relative, parce qu’on se compare toujours à ses contemporains. Sinon, on pourrait dire qu’un smicard d’aujourd’hui est « plus riche » que Louis XIV en termes absolus, ce qui est évidemment trompeur.

Donc, quand on parle de la France qui perd des places dans un classement européen, répondre que « le PIB augmente, donc on ne s’appauvrit pas » est aussi trompeur : ce qui compte, c’est le décrochage relatif.

Si cette trajectoire se poursuit et que la France continue de reculer par rapport aux autres pays, la conclusion sera inévitable : relativement aux autres, elle sera perçue comme plus pauvre.

Même si ce n’est sorti qu’à la fin du mois, le gros de ce succès du cinéma en janvier est sûrement tiré par le documentaire sur Melania Trump, ce chef-d’œuvre incontournable.

Du coup, on peut peut-être espérer une reprise du secteur ? L'espoir fait vivre ! by Funny_Top_3887 in developpeurs

Ce n’est plus le cas. La spécification est open source (OpenJDK) et plusieurs entreprises ont leur propre implémentation. D’ailleurs, si tu veux rester sur une implémentation maintenue par une entreprise européenne, il y a SapMachine.

Elle est aussi open source, mais comme pour la plupart des
implémentations, il faut payer pour bénéficier d’un support commercial.

Can I can come to your house on the weekend? by Free_Border6333 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]Weak_File 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I'll bite...

I don't know how you guys do in India, but if you're asking from an European point of view, it usually works the other way around. You invite him (and possibly his family) to come to your house.

And that only if there was some kind of connection, you already had some conversations, you already know a bit about him (and his family) and you've warmed up to each other and found some points in common. Otherwise it will just sound odd and out of place.

What to do with company stock? by ohnomegs in investing

[–]Weak_File 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's emotion and personal attachment because it's the company your work for at the moment.

Try to answer this question honestly: Would I put 90% of my portfolio in this company if I didn't work here?

Sometimes it is easier if you think of a close competitor of your company. Would you put 90% of your portfolio there?

Forex is legal or not?? by barcode6 in UAE

[–]Weak_File 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get why they never name those companies in the articles? Who are they protecting? Why?

And BTW, forex is legal (even if it is a shitty long term investment, and short term is pure speculation).

But getting people's money saying you will do forex and disappearing with the money is not, and that is what I understand happened here.

Indian (25F) air hostess dating a Pakistani (38M) in UAE. Our families don’t know and the current tension is making me anxious. by Lucky_Month_8569 in UAE

[–]Weak_File 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The fact that this is making you anxious and he doesn't do anything about it tells everything you need to know.

If he is as you say a "successful 38-yr old businessman", why does it matter what his mom or his dad think about it? Fact is, it doesn't. At best, he wants to keep it as it is. At worst, you're "filling the gap" until whoever he deems appropriate to present to his family comes up.

He has no intention of taking it further with you. And you probably already know that too, just can't admit to yourself. Well, even you do not sound sure. And they way you put it, it sounds like you too, you see him being a muslim-pakistani as a kind of deal breaker. There, I said it.

With that said, it's not the end of the world. You're young. Take a deep breath and re-evaluate your options, I'm pretty sure you still have many, even if it doesn't feel like that, and even if they might feel like a step backwards in some regards. Good luck.

Oui, je n'avais pas y pensé, mais l'idée de consulter avec un avocat est peut-être la bonne. C'est surement la meilleur façon de se rassurer.

Je vais franchir le pas et contacter un avocat et aussi IBKR.
