One of the funniest things was the way the Rock always looked up (and seemed transfixed) each time Hurricane "flew" off.

Also congrats to Nikki A.S.H? Although I don't like this superhero gimmick which doesn't go over with the fans(Hurricane, Ricochet). I was surprised when Rhea lost to Flair in MIB, felt she will be a transition champion.


Hopefully she will have a better reign than Rhea and Asuka even though she might drop the title at summer slam for who ever will return (Becky, Rhonda, Sasha?)


This Raw felt like Texas was tired of 3 wrestling shows in the short space of 4 days, no energy at all and the wrestlers are not even trying to get them up.

Hurricane was actually way over with the fans, after the work he did with the Rock. Funny enough Hurricane's gimmick was not his idea, but he tried his best to make it work. If you haven't, try watching his feud with the Rock - both of them actually improvised for those segments, something many wrestlers on today's roster cannot dream of doing. To make a superhero gimmick work, that wrestler has to be put over by someone else who is way over.
TV/Movies / Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by naijasensei: 4:10pm On Jul 22, 2021
Skseries:
his vision u say? He directed MOS, BVS, and justice league and the 3movies wasn't generally accepted or loved, yeah the movies made money, but were they really loved? Shazam barely made enuf to break even but us getting a part 2, why? It was loved by the general audience, I know I love it. The so called army of the dead was a 3hrs movie I had to fast forward almost half of the movie.

Bro I see other movies and of different genre and I don't complain, some good, some bad. Nolan movies doesn't take itself too serious his movies are just complex and if u are a deep thinkers u will appreciate his movies, so it's not like Nolan intentionally make things complex, Nolan basically just does movies with complex premise. TENET was just a time travel concept ppl weren't really used to, was the movie nice yes, but was it understandable no.

Zack on the other hand takes a simple concept and over complicate it. Have been following the flash series and I will say any day any time I will take grant's running cgi over that of Zack, even though the show is rubbish lately.

Warning, long post ahead!

I completely disagree with you. MOS was Zack Snyder's vision, yes; but BVS, and JL were foisted on him. Is Zack Snyder a perfect director? No, he isn't. WB are the villains here. WB forcefully inserted Batman into a Superman movie (BVS) which was originally supposed to have Brainiac as the main antagonist. Why? Because of the success of Nolan's trilogy.
The higher ups, the executives, at WB are really hopeless. Their original plan for Batman in BVS was that Batman would go on a murdering spree, "because he's Batman", what a bunch of misguided loons. Of course the director, and the script writers didn't agreed to such a dumb plot. Then they went a cutting, "the movie is too long, cut out significant bits". It became a convoluted mess, WB wanted to squeeze in "The Death of Superman", and "The Dark Knight" (written by Frank Miller) into a movie less than two and a half hours long - fat chance. If you want to have a grasp of how these movies were supposed to play out, check out WB Animation - who are surprisingly free from the idiotic influence of the execs on live action movies.
The real disappointment was the way WB handled the Justice League movie, it was a travesty. And yes, when it tanked they put all the blame on Zack Snyder. This was a man who just lost his daughter, there was no sympathy, no understanding from WB. They were too eager to get rid of Zack Snyder, so they could bring in the egotistical Joss Whedon. The Justice League movie that came out in the theatres was an insult, and a monumental disgrace. Joss Whedon was so full of himself that he wasted time and money reshooting many already perfect scenes in the movie - then there was the infamous moustache gate. Joss Whedon even threatened some of the actors on set, when those actors were not too fond of some of the unnecessarily sexist jokes he inserted in the movie. Then he cut out almost all the non Caucasian actors from the movie, just to satisfy his ego. Don't get me wrong, I am not blaming everything on Joss Whedon because he was used by WB to execute their agenda against Zack Snyder. Problem is Joss Whedon enjoyed destroying that movie.
If not for the "toxic Snyder fans" who demanded for the release of the original Snyder cut, no one would have known it existed. WB denied it stoutly for years, but they were forced to release it because they didn't have content they could easily use for HBO Max. WB released it to make money, not because they were sorry, and certainly not because they loved their fans. Compared to "Josstice League", Zack Snyder's version was a thousand times better. If you watch Josstice League, you can easily see the disinterest in Ben Affleck, the non importance of both Flash and Cyborg, the absence of Darkseid, and the utterly ridiculous humanised version of Stephen Wolf. The fact that WB executives greenlighted Whedon's version reveals the type of people they are. Granted four (4) hours might not work in a theatre, but there are creative solutions to that (cutting some of the slow motion scenes, or dividing the whole movie into two parts). Please stop trying to put people inside boxes - it is wrong. Every director is different. Zack Snyder's style is desaturated colours, slow motion, and big battles - stop trying to turn him into Christopher Nolan. Funny enough, when Christopher Nolan watched Josstice League, he was so sad that he forbade Zack Snyder from ever watching it. Nolan knew it would have pained Snyder to see his project reduced to a mere parody. If you want to see more evidence of WB's meddling, take a look at the Mortal Kombat movie. The best parts of the movie were cut out - because "it was too long", but some irrelevant parts were left intact.

Programming / Re: How To Arrange School Broadsheet Sheet From Mysql Tables by naijasensei: 5:59pm On Jul 05, 2021
goldmines214:


I can do that quite well. I know how to fetch data from databases and display them but arranging those scores under the specified subjects is the issue. Assuming the class is jss1, session is 2020 /2021 and term is third term how do I use these with the broadsheet table and with students and subjects tables to display all students, subjects and scores for subjects in jss1, third term and 2020/2021 session?

Excellent!
As I said, first fetch the subject names and subject IDs from the subjects table. Store this data in an iterable object - like an array (associative array, or hash map).
Now, write a query to fetch the data (from a specific class, term, and session) from the broadsheet table, and use a RIGHT JOIN to join the students table, then use GROUP BY to group the results by student_id.
You will now have a data set that contains the students with their respective subject scores. You can now iterate through the data by using the student_id parameter. You can build your table like this:

foreach (studIDs as id) {
// Create a table row
foreach (subjIDs as subj) {
//Table cell begin
//Check if there is a score for the subject
//If there isn't, skip to the next subject
//use a variable to count the subjects with scores
//And another variable to accumulate the total
// Table cell end
}
//End table row
}


This is pseudo code, but this is how it can work. Others might have different solutions though.

goldmines214:
Please, I would like to arrange rows from mysql tables into table headers and table data in html table. Most especially subjects and subjects scores

Hi. I believe what you want is the final table diagram you drew. Here is how you can do it.

1. Your broadsheet table is linked to some other tables, and to get those field values from the other tables - you will need to use a JOIN . You would probably use a LEFT JOIN, or a RIGHT JOIN.

2. Now you would want a situation where all the students, and all the subjects will appear on your HTML table regardless of whether they have scores or not. To achieve this, I would first run a query on the subjects table to get the subject names and their IDs. I would then store this is an associative array. With this I have the data to generate my table headers.

Digest this and let me know if you understand this. We can then proceed to the next stage.

I had a Samsung a50 which was running on the lastest one ui 3.1

The only thing I like about Samsung is the way the render their icon's colour science... Nothing special about one ui for me

I have not owned a xiaomi device before but I admire miui a lot because I've read in GSMArena and I have seen how customizable it is in my friends phones

That said, humans are funny. Their is a guy that was using Redmi note 5 then he upgraded to Samsung a52. He said a52 is great but he still misses the app daily data check features on his redmi

Another, was a guy using Redmi 7 which he replaced with Samsung a52 saying that now he sees why Samsung is expensive.. I was like is this guy insane? How much is the redmi compared to the Samsung? Why not use mi 9t first?

Lastly was my friend who was using Samsung note 10. The note 10 screen got faulty then I adviced him to buy Redmi 10x 5g. The guy kept thanking me that he is only missing the pen in his formal note hence every other thing is the same yet the phone is very cheap

People no dey appreciate

The last Android phone I used before I started using Xiaomi again was a Lenovo. The Lenovo was cheap, it was powerful enough, and it was fun to use; but the phone's Achilles heel was the bland "almost" stock Android experience. The phone's Android skin had zero customisability, coupled with Lenovo's abhorrence of updates. MIUI isn't perfect, but it is way better than stock Android "jail".

Warning, long post ahead!

atheistandproud:


I am going to be the devil here and say these, unapologetically too.

1. Never buy a product that you're in two minds about. Don't do that to yourself. Because then you'll start looking for the said faults in the product and then later you'll say that the thread mislead you. It's not the first time, won't be the last.

I was reading good reviews on this thread about the Mi 9T yesterday and I laughed. Why? Because I remember that one homo sapien claimed to have the phone, dropped it by himself on floor tiles and the screen began misbehaving. He began a war of calumny and misinformation against the device. Many people who listened to him missed out on a very good device.

2. Poor reviews: May 2019, after the Redmi Note 7 failed Zach's bend test, Indians wrote unprintable things about the phone. I heard even worse from marketers at Pointek when I went to buy it. Did it stop me? No. I had done my research and I knew what I wanted. I bought the device and walked out proudly. Genius43 knows my younger brother. That phone has now spent close to a year with him. It's still working fine and going strong.

3. Hardware: No where, can you find a phone that offers the hardware:price ratio that the Redmi 9t offers. Quote me anywhere. SD662, 6000mAh battery with 18W fast charge, FHD resolution LCD screen, dual speakers, and a 48mp camera.

Check the market, you won't find it.

Does this mean that the phone is perfect? Absolutely not! No phone is. People with Galaxy S21 Ultra dey complain of bugs. iPhone 12 users dey complain of lag and battery drain. Na come small Redmi 9t.

If you understand tech, you'll know that the camera on the Redmi 9t is binned or compressed down to 12mp. That's how binning works. It's not a scam.

If you listen to idiots who are bad photographers then I sorry for you. The same RN9 Pro in my hand that I use for taking pictures, someone said that the camera is a scam too. The same person if you give am digital camera go still snap nonsense.

In summary, since you're in two minds, don't buy the Redmi 9t, go and buy something else. It's your money. I'm sure Transsion has inferior alternatives and Samsung and Oppo have overpriced options as well. Happy Sunday to you, Happy New month.

This is one of the best comments I have read on this matter. If you are having serious doubts about a purchase, please do not make that purchase. As a wise man once told me - if you have decided to have problems and issues, the problems will definitely arrive in full force.

genius43:


I remember this Mi 9t conundrum then. I advised people to buy that phone in the words of one "Na chinko phone, that pop-up camera na him go first spoil, the AMOLED Na scam, e no go last that is why e cheap. I told him to suit himself.

I have passed the stage of trying to convince anyone to get a phone it is not my father's company, neither am I a staff nor a shareholder.

If you come to me to advice you for a device be it phone or PC honestly with an open mind, I will but if you are already tilted one way I let you go.

atheistandproud:


You can imagine. I think I remember when Xiaomi first came to Nigeria, somebody said it, either gptech or grandmufti, said that the coming of xiaomi to Nigeria was the coming of problem. Initially I was like why would you say such a thing. But the more events unfold the more I realise that he was right absolutely Nigerians don't deserve good brands. We should stick with transsion and Samsung and co that will overprice mediocre products for us. That's what we deserve.

If them bring Mi 11 Ultra come Nigeria officially and make it publicly available, people will still complain that it's overhyped.

Many people don't understand, or even appreciate the priceless value of this thread. I am 100% sure that even if Xiaomi HQ employed staff to attend to customers and provide support the way our fantastic people are doing here - they wouldn't be able to do up to 20% of what is been done here. Pardon me for this, but many fools and morons still find it hard to believe that this thread is completely organic and no one is getting paid for the awesome advice that is being dished out daily.
Please, in the name of all that is good, responsible, kind, and holy, perform your own research before buying any device - it is the very least you can do. If you don't buy a Xiaomi device, heaven will not fall, and I will not go into depression. Apologies again, but no one owes anyone anything on this thread - we are just enthusiasts. Thread with caution, and respect. Thanks.

Gaming / Re: Why Does My Pc Game Lag When I Connect It To My Tv With HDMI cord? by naijasensei: 1:45pm On Apr 21, 2021
LOSKYXANDER:
I noticed that when I project my PC to my HD TV via my HDMI cord, my game lags on the TV. This mostly happens when playing games with high graphics quality.
Is anyone experiencing same thing? Please help.
Thanks

There are several things you have to consider.
1. Resolution and refresh rate. Make sure the TV can keep up with the output from your PC. If your PC is rendering games at over 60fps and your PC tops out at 30fps, the experience will not be too good. Also, if your PC is running games at 1080p, and your TV can only support upto 720p - it won't look good.
2. Make sure the HDMI cable you are using is cable of supplying good signals (display port cable is a good alternative to HDMI).
3. Check your TV's response time, is it fast enough? PC monitors have fast response times compared to TVs, so a TV with a slow response time can have laggy pictures.

For issues 1, and 3 - check your TV to see if it has a "Gaming Mode", which can help in alleviating these issues.

Edit: I see you have found a solution.

I told him blender will not work a blender is about 800watts

32inches tv plus decorder 70watts max

He never told me anything about 3 laptop and 1 fan when i ask

Different customer with different attitude

I saw where you asked him those questions, and his response. I am guessing he did not really understand your reason for asking. Another thing people don't understand is that when some appliances start up (things that are inductive or capacitive; freezers, pumping machines, blenders, fans, etc) they consume more than their rated power. The power ratings are actually a rough guide, an estimate. Just take this incident as a learning experience.

Nice points, to add to what you wrote, I think pointstores should tell his customers his battery ratings in volts and ah so as not to cause misunderstanding. Even I tell my customers not to put a load of more than 200w on a 200ah 12v battery so as to prolong it's life. @op, if you want to power a 300w load with an inverter, you must be willing to spend upwards of 170k for a 1kva system for just the inverter and battery. Pls make due diligence in the future

Excellent addition, if I may say so.

Thanks God bless U 2

Hi, may I make a little suggestion to you? Before collecting money, try as much as possible to inform your customers that an inverter system can never run at full load. This is very important because you are building the system for them. Tell them to tell you exactly what their load profile is, without this it would be dangerous to proceed with such a transaction. From the comments, you can clearly see people don't understand this concept. It is a little known fact that operating an inverter close to 100% load is detrimental to its batteries. Your customer was simply misinformed.

Summary, tldr; painstakingly explain everything before collecting money from the client.

Good day bosses.

Please I need your help on how I can make laptop start working well again. I got the laptop (UK used as claimed) around October, 2020 through my friend at N87,000. I asked my friend to help me get it being someone that knows about computer stuff and a Computer Engineering student, but I'm disappointed; he bought a crap. A week after using the laptop, the speaker failed. I didn't mind 'cause I felt I didn't really need it. The hinge also broke, I took it to a technician and fixed it.

Fast forward to this month, the laptop began overheating and was shutting down on its own. It did get overheated not up to one hour of turning it on. I took it to a technician again, he serviced it and the overheating is no more prominent, and it's no more shutting than on its own.

My concern presently is that, I noticed that the part of the keyboard around the cooling is still always mildly hot and the down part(beneath) of the laptop also gets very hot. Please what can I do so that this thing will not lead into a more complicated issue 'cause I don't a dime presently.

Hi. Your device is overheating because it is not being cooled properly. There are two likely causes I can think of:
1. Do you use the laptop on a bed, mattress, clothes, or similar surface. If you do, please stop this practice immediately. Using a laptop on such surfaces blocks the air vents underneath the laptop, causing said laptop to heat up.
2. The cooling system (the CPU heatsink, and the CPU fan) in your laptop is not working effectively. This can be caused by dust build-up, a dead CPU fan, or improperly applied thermal paste between the heatsink and the CPU.

Everybody wants to learn to code and they just seem to be making the exact same mistakes we made some 15 years ago (that momentarily stunted our progress), when so much has changed and information is now readily available. Then, we were all trying to learn this language and that language.

Stop trying to "learn" a language...PHP, Java, Javascript... etc!

You want to learn how to code? Learn programming.

Spend a lifetime continuously learning the principles and concepts of programming and at some point, you will only need a weekend to understand the syntax of any language. Yes, in the process of learning programming you will have a language of reference (better a low level one) but you are focusing on the concepts of programming and not the language.

I saw another thread asking if PHP is dying(my biased opinion: was it ever alive?). Languages come and go, the principles and concepts of programming stay the same.

You don't learn how to drive a Honda Accord, a Toyota Camry, a Benz...No, you learn how to drive a car.


The following are purely my suggestions (and may not make any sense to some).
If you have 2 to 3 years to self-teach yourself from the ground up and you thrive in challenging situations, use this:

Hi there. I am by no means a Python expert, but I do know numPy and Pandas are useful for data manipulation - data science, data analysis, and other such fields.
You will definitely need high level skills later, because learning never ends. As you get better, newer methods and technologies will definitely beckon to you. Just nail down the basics, and build on that foundation.

Hi, good to see you are making progress. However, you are "hardcoding" the two numbers and their respective products. I can think of one way to make the program use random numbers:
- Create a list of numbers, probably from 1 to 12.
- Start your for loop
- Randomly select two numbers from the list, then assign each number to a variable.
- Use the variables to form your question during each pass through the loop.
- Evaluate the answer supplied by the user
- End your loop after 10 iterations.

Try this approach, and do not hesitate to ask questions.

I do use the CLI. It doesn't intimidate me at all. What I meant is that the UI will save me time from learning the commands for DO. I'm suspect that the commands syntax vary from platform to platform, and for any platform you choose, you've got to learn their stuff. So instead of staying stagnant while learning DO's commands, I can deploy and manage my app with the UI, while gradually learning the commands of DO CLI.

As I said, the infrastructure is unmanaged - so you install what you will use. The commands are actually universal. For example, after installing an OS (most likely a Linux distribution) the commands are pretty standard across board. You will use SSH to actualise your intentions.

Programming / Re: Which Cloud Iaas Company Do You Use, And Why? by naijasensei: 1:50pm On Jan 31, 2021
Xandelle:
AWS, Google Cloud, Cloudflare, Linode, CircleCi, Digital Ocean, etc. All are cloud service providers, but which particular provider do you use? And why do you use it? What are the very things that influenced your decision? Things like Price, Options, Configurability, Flexibility, Simplicity, User Interface, etc.

And what cloud service provider do you think is best for a Laravel application? I am thinking of using Digital Ocean. Nairaland seems to be running on Cloudflare. Seun, why Cloudflare?

Also, any tips on deployment, server management, stacks to use (ex. Docker, Forge, etc), will be very appreciated.

I use DigitalOcean to host all my apps, which happen to be Laravel apps. My primary motivation for choosing DO was their affordable pricing, although I also like the almost endless configuration options available.
