egorov: "Campaign mode" is equivalent to "Master League", for exhibition matches look to "efootball" and "Friend Match". There are licensed players in the game; you just have to find them. The teams you encounter in the game are teams that were assembled by other players. 2 Likes |

jidejado: Hi, your major problem is indentation, you are not using your indentation properly. Indentation is used to group code blocks. From your code, it seems you want to see how many combinations of older and younger siblings you can have in 10000 tries with emphasis on the number of girls. I won't solve it for you because I want you to practice and understand. Here is the pseudocode, convert it to python.
Note this is not actual code, read it, interprete it, then write yours. As for the second program you posted, personally I will advice you to stay away from advanced topics like pandas and dataframes until you are comfortable running simpler programs. |

mathefaro: I couldn't have said it any better. Quality products produce an army of loyal customers, especially if said customers have had terrible experiences from other brands. The most vociferous users here are those who have had their fingers burnt by other brands they previously trusted with their hard earned money. As for those who have an issue with Xiaomi, do yourselves a favour and read the title of this thread. After all, you can't stumble into a group of Ferrari enthusiasts and start talking about Hondas, you might lose your kneecaps for such an indiscretion. And if you aren't down with what I just typed, I got three words for you - leave the thread. 10 Likes |

Alfred234: I disagree, much as that HD+ resolution is an eyesore on a screen of that size, it actually gives the GPU a chance to shine. The real issue is games optimization as some users have earlier pointed out. Let's just hope Infinix and Mediatek can push out updates as and when due. |

Hallenjay: If someone offers you a used Samsung A71 at 40000naira won't you be scared? Please search for the price of a brand new Redmi note 8 (4/64), then factor in that it is less than a year since it was released in the market, then draw your conclusion. Heck, even a fairly used Redmi note 7 (4/64) would be hard to find at that price. 5 Likes |

Senpai01: atheistandproud: In addition to atheistandproud's answer, steer well clear of MT675x SoCs (6750, 6752, 6753, 6755) and MT673x SoCs (mediocre quad cores) because they are not worth the bother. They all use outdated fabrication processes (battery killers) and they also have some truly terrible Mali and PowerVR GPUs. You should really only consider stuff from: The Helio P-series, namely Helio P23 (budget SoC but good GPU), Helio P60 or greater (P70, P80, P85, P90, P95). The Helio G-series, Mediatek's answer to Snapdragon's gaming SoCs (G70, G80, G85, G90, G90T). And the Dimensity series (800, 820, 1000). Remember to also avoid the frying pan, battery guzzlers that are the (now suspended) Helio X- series. They heat up like crazy, with truly horrible battery backup. 3 Likes |

Reading the posts on this thread do bring a smile to my face. It is heartwarming to see people are now refusing to be hoodwinked by their "friendly neighbourhood tech reviewers". I know it is not easy to snag endorsements, I also know it isn't always easy to speak the truth to power; but know this, if you compromise there will be consequences further down the line. There is nothing wrong in accepting free samples from companies, there is also nothing wrong in receiving incentives from such companies to paint their products in good light. But, there is everything wrong in not disclosing this to your audience . As a true tech reviewer, you must make full disclosure to your audience. Any reviewer who fails to do this will kill his/her brand faster than you can say "die". Don't be deceived, after your brand has been destroyed, those companies will move on to their next victims, be wise. Instead develop your brand to the extent that companies will seek you out, but they will be unable to influence your opinion. I will give you two good examples of tech reviewers who practice what I advocate: 1. Dave2D - he regularly receives samples from companies, however he lets his audience know this, and he still produces an unbiased review of such products. 2. Chris from Techtablets.com. Chris is not as popular as Dave2D, but I respect him a lot. He purchases most of the products he reviews, although once in a while he does receive review units. Once Chris reviews a product just know it is going to be a thorough, and brutal review; because he doesn't take any prisoners - even if it is a review unit or a free sample. P.S. This piece is my personal opinion, I am not begging anyone to change. If you are doing the right thing - please continue. And if you're doing the wrong thing, continue as well. Only time will judge us all. P.S.P.S Accepting criticism and deciding to be better, rather than clapping back and mocking anyone criticizing you is a true sign of maturity. 1 Like |

abdsamad: My dear inquisitive comrade, of a truth these tales are interesting, but alas they are not free. Garrilad is the tale of a 16yr old boy who turns into his alter-ego whenever he overdoses on fried cassave flakes. His skin turns white, and he gains elastic properties similar to those of fufu (aka Santana) making him almost indestructible. Unfortunately, if Garrilad stays in his altered form for too long he could be permanently transformed into a 50kg bag of sun dried, fried cassava flakes. Garrilad's nemesis is the nefarious Mangodude. |

abdsamad: Bricking is the process of turning your useful, vibrant electronic marvel of a phone into a worthless, dead, slab; sort of an expensive brick. A bricked phone is usually only good for hammering nails, as a door stopper, as a paperweight, amongst other mundane things. As for the dragons, know this - it is the time of the dragons, more specifically the Snapdragons. The Snapdragons have bested every foe they have encountered, well all except the Bionic ones. Right now the Snapdragons sit atop the mountain, akin to the way Shao Kahn used to sit atop the ladder in Mortal Kombat. Know this though, there have been prophesies about the eventual dethronement of the Snapdragons, whispers about certain Dimensities and Exys. An SoC is a System On a Chip, it is basically the most important parts of a phone (CPU, GPU, modem, etc) housed together in a package. I hope with these few words of mine I have been able to satisfy your curiosity, curious sir. 22 Likes 2 Shares |

LehreMi: ROM flashing is about installing (flashing) another OS (a custom ROM) onto your phone's primary storage (ROM). For instance, most Xiaomi and Redmi phones (except the Xiaomi Mi A series) usually come with Xiaomi's skinned version of Android called MIUI, which is quite different from stock Android (fonts, UI, themes, widgets, etc). Not everyone is a fan of MIUI, so flashing custom ROMs give users the opportunity to enjoy a different experience on their phones. There are two things to note; 1. Snapdragon phones have more custom ROM development compared to other SoCs. 2. Installing custom ROMs is not for everyone, and it is also not a cakewalk. You have to follow a particular custom ROM's installation instructions else you will end up bricking your phone. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

jaywalker04: 1. Switch off your phone, then remove your memory card. 2. Switch your phone back on and let it run for a while. Study its behavior. 3. If the phone worked seamlessly without the memory card, then it is almost certainly a memory card issue. It is either the memory card is a low quality memory card, or it has gotten corrupt. 4. Try copying the files on the memory card to another storage device, then proceed to format the card. After formatting, run some diagnostic tests on the card. 5. If your phone behaved the same way after removing the memory card, then there is probably nothing wrong with your memory card. I will advise that you perform a factory reset on your phone. 2 Likes |

Darlinx01: Don't blame Qualcomm, they are just enjoying the ride. The blame should rest squarely on Mediatek and the other SoC manufacturers. In the desktop PC space AMD spent approximately ten (10) years in the wilderness of obscurity and lack of competitiveness before they could make a breakthrough. Right now AMD are giving Intel some seriously stiff competition, even to the point of undercutting many of Intel's hitherto untouchable offerings. And guess who is benefitting? The end user, Intel can no longer price their products as they used to. It is left to Mediatek (and the others) to give Qualcomm the AMD shock treatment. 2 Likes |

festwiz: Please, in the name of all that's holy and good, steer well clear of any tablet with a Helio X series SoC (X20, X23, X27, etc). They have good benchmark scores but they perform terribly in real life usage scenarios. Teclast have decent build quality compared to a brand like Chuwi, but make sure you research forums well before you commit. I believe the Teclast T30 powered by the Helio P70 is a decent option compared to their M series tablets. |

But what of those who are not so informed? They will be deceived.

bravesoul247: There is something called "full disclosure". It is a manufacturer's duty to list ALL the technical specifications of devices they produce and sell. Hiding something as important as a phone's SoC is very disingenuous. A very good example of this questionable tactic can be seen with the Infinix note 7 lite, special care was taken to hide details about that phone's SoC in order to give consumers the (wrong) impression that it is powered by the Helio G70 used in the regular Infinix note 7. All the information about a device should be available on a manufacturer's website, so as to eliminate ambiguity and confusion. 5 Likes 1 Share |

atheistandproud: Nice writeup, my first Android phone was an Infinix Race Bolt. That phone divided opinions like no other, it seems there were some quality assurance issues with some batches. I was lucky to have one of the better ones, others weren't so lucky. That phone was the first phone I know of that was labeled as a hot plate (probably where Infinix got the inspiration for their hot series from). Luckily for me that was the only Transsion device I ever bought. I have gone on to purchase phones from THL, Xiaomi, and Sony. When you wanted to buy the Redmi note 7, that paid marketer tried to freighten, bully, and arm twist you into buying an expensive and inferior Transsion product. This is done by their marketers in almost every store. Funny enough, this is exactly what Transsion nairaland marketers accuse other concerned, well meaning users of doing. A sane mind that has experienced the horrors of using a Transsion product would not want anyone to suffer the same fate. 6 Likes |
