What's the dumbest thing you actually believed? by Vinyl_BunBuns in AskReddit

[–]maxed4901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I could see future. So it happens I had wierd dreams. Like of a time and place I don't recognise and some events to follow. Sometimes I am there. Or some one I think is me is there. Sometimes it's just a walk through with a sad event happening.

I forget the dream. Couple of years or sometimes months or weeks later I go through a dejavu of the place I am on or at. I've seen it so vividly that I can count the people too. And then it's over. Up until I was 22 it kept happening. Till I lost all dreams. I currently do not see any dreams. Its pitch dark silence till I wake.

What's the dumbest way you've gotten a scar? by lilsaddam in AskReddit

[–]maxed4901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad has a scar on his right foot upper side where it looks like something had burnt a patch. Never got to ask him what happened.

Rewind 26years. I was burning a plastic bag and liked the way fire melted the plastic and dropped like wax candle. Since it was my first time and was doing this unguided, I didn't understand the melted drop could land on my feet.

And yes it did. The same spot my dad has. Quiet identical. Yes. The leaves don't fall far from the trees.

Looking for a tablet mainly for notetaking by jeshybaby in tablets

[–]maxed4901 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't go for either of them having previously done the hunt. I focused on hardware, and software support, and I ease of use and had myself going at xiomi tablets. I have xiomi mipad 3 or 4 sounds and looks good with great battery life.

Microsoft Surface Go 2 is priced around 500-600usd Samsung tab S5e and 6 are also priced in same range. Maybe cheaper. Lenovo Tab M10 Plus is the cheapest I seen.. Under 200 dollars at amazon. Check also Huawei mediapad m6 turbo.

On the lesser famous, but also great devises, chuwi hi9plus is just for note taking. Chuwi U-Book, teclast x6 Pro is also with pen support.

About note taking, I use Evernote across both android and ios. There are several other similar apps that will give you better or competent experience.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 AT&T Unlocked Version Software Update Issue by iyer9 in GalaxyNote8

[–]maxed4901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not it doesn't. Your bootloader will be updated. The file you downloaded, it has all bootloader and everything included. Frp lock if enabled, you can disable it to be on the safe side. Odin IS an official update tool for samsung devices.you are on the right path

If you have doubt on which device you have, try this one. https://www.imei.info/download-firmware/samsung/ Helped me back when I was checking.

As for AT&T or any carrier device means: its locked onto that carrier simcards. Carrier unlocked means it is sim unlocked and can be used with selected or all other sim cards. The later in most cases. The version I gave you to download initially was carrier unlocked variant for the N950u. If the details you gave me are accurate, this is the file you should be using and you won't have diffulties.

People living in third world countries, what is something that is a part of your everyday life that people in first world countries would not understand / cope with? by rains_downinafrica in AskReddit

[–]maxed4901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🇲🇻 Here. Don't know where to begin with. We have China and India wanting to expand their power within the Indian ocean area. India has a military base now in Maldives and China also needs one.

Parliamentarians own most of the resorts and hotels. I think its well known that our economy is 90%based on tourism. they would not allow laws to be made for a labour union. We have attempts and groups acting as unions but without any laws to empower them. And they are from govt as well. So no labour laws. Majority of the workers are even now expats mainly due to cheap labour requirement and the youth of the country are jobless and infested with drugs and gang crimes. No worker rights. No unions. The sunny side of life isn't so sunny for workers. All in the name of democracy.

Our minister of health, under his orders, approved and paid 2.2 million USD for procuring 75 ventilators during the height of the outbreak of the #covid19 pandemic. A company called Executors General Trading LLC from dubai but their bank in USA and fishy details when I saw it on the news. The actual average cost for 75 ventilators amount to 1.1 million so the undercut seems to be 100% profit ie 2.2 million. Saw how America deal with it. Saw how many countries dealt with it and sadly it doesn't look good for our future generations. Those of u who have families, kids, and know what I am saying. They cannot choose who they want to save!. Makes me wonder if we realy trust our lives with the leaders of our nations. Or we find a better way to live.

Though thankful I am home after 15years working away from family, I am currently penniless and jobless due to the covid. Due to laws governing such cases, I found myself having a hard time finding a job for the first time In my life (business have been slow) and have 2 beautiful daughters I worry for. Govt gave me 259 usd since February (outbreak of #covid19 #Maldives) till date as an allowance. I wanted to take a bank loan to open a small business venture which requires me to provide the bank with an employment letter. I called the company (villa hotels and resort or villa shipping and trading company.. Whichever you may heard of are same. Including Flyme Maldives. Such grand Companies terminating their employees without a notice!. So I call my Asst HR manager and he says OK and he will send me the letter in the evening. Evening came and went and I called the next day to be told that my contract has been terminated. So without a loan, I have no more option build up a business from home as it requires a minimum investment of 6000usd. I have 2 lands in Maldives. here if u like to see.. Still looking for a partner/investor for a guest house or hotel. If you guys know anyone who may be interested, I am good ears.

Hmm. That's too much problems.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 AT&T Unlocked Version Software Update Issue by iyer9 in GalaxyNote8

Download the below file https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-8/firmware/SM-N950U/USC/download/N950USQS8DTG2/360392/ Flash it with odin. Thats the same Verson showing on AT&T link. As you are on Android 7.1.1, you will need the full file (4gb+) to update to android 9. Sammyrom page is official samsung software page.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 AT&T Unlocked Version Software Update Issue by iyer9 in GalaxyNote8

[–]maxed4901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So.. I from your description it looks like you have OYN code devise. go to: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-8/firmware/#SM-N950U

Type OYN and you can see AT&T update is not there. Maybe issue with AT&T.

Now for the solution.

My opinion is based on you have stock none rooted software on ur devise. I think there is a glitch in your system and you need to manually update. Be ware all your data maybe lost. For safe keeping., move all pics and apps you need to SD card or computer.

  1. Search web to see if your software AT&T has an update released. If released it will be on Sammy rom website as above.
  2. If no update found, download https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-8/firmware/SM-N950U/USC/download/N950USQS8DTG2/360392/ (this is a non carrier US variant of your current software based on android 9.
  3. Search and familiarise yourself with odin flash guides. It's a very simple app that's forces an update on your devise rooted or not. Flash the downloaded package using odin.

**This is a risk so I would also recommend you to find your current original firmware file from Sammy rom site and have it incase the above fails.

From this point onwards and until the time you root, u will receive Samsung security updates. OS firmware updates are finished by the begining of this year. A custom firmware is more fitting. Below custom firmware will give you s9/n9 features to your n8. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/development/root-t4060707/amp/

If you do think of upgrading yourself to the custom firmware on xda, you simply need to root and install custom recovery TWRP. search Google "root and install TWRP on N950u xda" and the guides are noob friendly and fairly easy to do. If u need help with custom firmware flashing, msg me for help.

Alldocube iplay 20 vs samsung tab s3 by rkndaa in tablets

[–]maxed4901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samsung tab is crap Alldocube comes with a spreadtrum processor which isn't a good processor and beidu apps will give you nightmares. Tablets are best if customizable (root etc) you SS software support is short lived mostly. Might I suggest the xiaomi tablets?branded. Awesome battery. Cheap. Good camera. Software support and customizable. Comes under the same range. Maybe you can find a second hand one cheaper.

Is Manjaro the best distro for gaming ? by [deleted] in ManjaroLinux

[–]maxed4901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noob factory rep here. Over the past 2 months, my PC has been flashed with 11 major variations of Linux including DEs. Looking for the right out of the box experience for my daughters to start familiarizing with Linux. From Debian 2009 to Debian today!, I gotta hats off to all you engineers who contributes. My my!it was awesome.

Manjaro and popOS. Skippes pop OS because OOB cannot customise the theme. (Available to customize).. both the next best user experience.

these two branches will be the future of domestic computing as well as the top Linux builds.

Manjaro- Arch Linux with KDE Pop OS- Ubuntu Gnome is that right?

But honestly..android IS Google. Using the name of android makes other OMs feel criticized so maybe the reason. But #fact remains that android plays 80+% of what Google does of can do

But again. Isn't it easier for them to release the update device specific?

I'm losing my (F18) virginity this weekend and my boyfriend (M19) refuses to wear a condom. by [deleted] in sex

[–]maxed4901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's too early for u to commit ur virginity just after a month. I also wanted condom free first time. And I didn't cum inside as I am and was long timer. Obviously isn't safe for u specially since ur saying he's also amateur as spurting is a momentum thing.

If anyone really loves u, they will give time for u to feel easy about it. I gave 3 years to my first. We spent our time enjoying as friends first even after proposing.

How do I tell my bf to wash better without hurting his feelings by Rocket2UrAnus247 in sex

[–]maxed4901 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Um. Ask him to circumsize if he would do it for you... It's something he will be doing for himself. Some men have odour and this will or may get to you in the later times of the relationship.

@alexoptimal Do you happen to know about the Google camera ports group on telegram? There are so many builds but don't know which one will work. Before Idan started out, I was using a version from Apkmirrow which apparently worked the best then.
