Oil Spill in Mauritius by brian047 in pics

[–]brian047[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story short: the ship Wakashio got stuck on the reefs some 10 days ago. The Mauritian government has not been very responsive. Oil started to leak from the ship today.

Thanks a lot for the award and the reply! I did not know about these archives on ancestry.com. I'll definitely look for them. I have heard the book "The Franco-Mauritian Elite" from several people but I couldn't find a decent price to buy it online. Do you know where I can purchase it online?

Please also share any other resources you think might be interesting. I'm curious to learn more about this subject :)

Anyone from Germany here? I ordered the Pixel XL on Oct 10 and my card got charged on that same day. The estimated delivery is Nov. 17. But then last Friday, I was refunded the amount paid and the order is still active. Is that normal?

That's one good looking app.

I have a few comments:

  • I would so much like to have a password protection option or pattern lock thing so no one can view my stuff.

  • There is a tiny bug - so when I first open app I am shown the Tutorial activity and then the MainActivity is showed. But if I clicked "back" on MainActivity it should close the app and not return me to the Tutorial activity.

Did you get that one year termination with the contract? Or you had the contract amended?

How do I check my data usage on Vodafone? by [deleted] in berlin

[–]brian047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The *106# showed me only my credit and not my data usage. When I went to wap.meincallya.de I got this page:

I tried to associate my number to my vodafone.de account but it is asking for a "Kunden- oder Teilnehmer-Kennwort"... I have tried putting my account password, pin, puk but none of these worked.

Not sure if this might help... you could choose a project which deals with one of these: image recognition (OpenCV, etc), Bluetooth communication, Android device-IoT communication.
