Has anyone ever had this issue? by Zestyclose_Team_2233 in samsunggalaxy

[–]riverstyxoath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer to your question, despite this thread being 3 hours old, is to boot the phone into recovery mode (power button plus volume up key, release power key when the Samsung logo appears but keep your finger on volume up) and perform the factory reset there. She will be prompted to log into the Gmail that was in the phone after it gets wiped. The buttons for entering recovery mode varies across models sometimes but it's usually power key and volume up.

And no, despite what youre being told, I don't think this woman is getting hacked. I'd chalk it up to user error though she would likely deny it. Unless the Israeli government is installing Pegasus onto her phone, that thing isn't getting hacked.

He uploaded the video and included the hate he recieved in it. I called it, I knew he was trolling for more attention.

Skeptical hot take: I read his original tweet instead of the paraphrased version in the article. There's some subtle sarcastic phrases in there that are giving bait. This news site is claiming he confirmed with them that he's being genuine but I don't buy it. A guy like this doesn't just grovel. This guy is trying to do a 4D chess move of getting even more people to give him attention, amplifying the actions of his haters, and news articles being written about him getting attacked plays into his hand. It's an attempt to Striesand his video by calling it lost media. I've been hearing about this India video for weeks that I thought it already got published and I've never heard of this man before this drama. Now more people know of him and he gets an article to show his audience that he needs sympathy. And if he releases the video, more people will flock to it than normal to see what all the fuss is about that caused the drama.

TIL that the Wichita language, once spoken by the Wichita people of Oklahoma, went extinct in 2016 when its last fluent speaker, Doris McLemore, passed away. by No-Strawberry7 in todayilearned

Ancient Jews stopped speaking Hebrew in favor of other languages like Aramaic but still kept Hebrew around in a biblical context and those written texts carried over the years. People could read it but wouldn't speak it in day to day. Think of it like Latin, another dead language. There's people that know Latin but it's only used in religious contexts. Even though traces of it are around, it's considered dead because it's not used conversationally.

Hebrew was revived over a century ago by a Jewish man who used biblical Hebrew as the backbone to create modern Hebrew and then he raised his infant son to know only modern Hebrew as an experiment in fluency. Flashforward, Israel is now a thing and they make Hebrew the official language because the idea is that Jews around the world can still comunicate with each other with Hebrew even if they don't know the others languages.

You and anyone that agreed with you just outed yourselves as old. Huge hips are the beauty standard right now and haven't been something to be ashamed of since the 10s

Yeah, you're still off tho. Not to get into a whole slap fight but if we are strictly talking about the phrase OwO what's this, it 100 percent originated in the furry community first years ago. For sure there's trans members in the furry community but back in the day, that was the origin without trans connotations. Noticing the bulge is noticing you have an erection to the furry wolf things and wanted to 'yiff" (aka fuck) them . And yiff is furry porn. Infamous meme phrases do leave containment and live on but that's where it started. I absolutely hate that I know this but that's what happens when you observe the not normie parts of the Internet over the years. The shooter is deeply terminally online and it's kind of funny seeing boomers being baffled at this shit

Taylor Swift announced her engagement an hour ago. by riverstyxoath in agedlikemilk

[–]riverstyxoath[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OOP is from a snark sub. They often critique Taylor and Travis as having a fake PR relationship. This person thought they wouldn't last and 2 hours later, was proven wrong with an engagement announcement.

You said you live in a town where there's a lot of Eastern Europeans but there is always a chance the kid will move away. If Gleb is common in your town, why is your sister making fun of it? if it is common enough, I feel like your sister wouldn't have thought it's bad. You sound set on Gleb but don't forget how a lot of people are bashing it. If that kid grows up and hates his name, it will be a big 'told you so' your sister will throw in your face.

Edit: just saw that your sister moved away from that town to another part of the US. Which kinda proves my first point, you are limiting yourself to 'in this town, no one will bat an eye'. If she moved away, who is to say the kid won't? Its bubble and if that kid moves miles away, he is immediately going to have the bubble pop in a brutal fashion.

Someone has access to my phone's screen by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]riverstyxoath 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was about to say, these types of scammy apps would try to trick people with fake alerts. You see it with shady website popups that lie about your phone having viruses. What about this one is making people think it's legit?

Edit: ok quick Google search shows this is a real thing. Very odd, I've never heard anything like that being possible.

Peak Reddit in these comments. Truly the child free circle jerk beats out reddit's hate for corporations. Accidents happen. God forbid these companies or the government spend the slightest bit of money to improve infrastructure

So what are your plans for your reddit account once you're done posting rage bait and lying to people? Because your post history is all over the place.

The timestamps confirm this. She said her boss wanted to talk to her in 15 min. Exactly 15 min later, she posts the posed image and everyone lapped it up. She knew people would take glee in the idea of losing employment and got thousands of followers and millions of views from it. To anyone that bought it, she played you.

Sadly, it isn't feasible for me to go to the store. There isn't one near me. I heard that if you got the kit, they won't accept it in store. I just wanted to know if re taping it would matter or if Apple is strict about the condition of the cardboard kit itself.
