android phones or tecno and infinix? Cus i don't dat useless thing on my pixel phone

I doubt Google would try that level of intrusion on Pixel as the backlash would be severe.

It is only the chinese companies that can do such flagrant display of 'wetin-una-go-do' attitude

Auskyd:
Lmfao I don't use an iphone bro. But the iphone also serves ads. Ask questions if you don't know and no dey behave like novice. Every phone company have ads in their system.

Stop showcasing your ignorance.

Apple showing ads inside news apps or on apple TV is completely different from intrusive apps that splash everywhere including wallpapers as evidenced within the context of these chinese phones.

You don't use iphones yet, you want to offer an opinion on iphone usage?

I am sure you would have searched the whole internet for screenshots of apple iphones with intrusive adverts, yet your best self-servicer is this?

Try to gain iphone usage experience or ask peeps using before acting like a dictionary online

Cheers.

Auskyd:
The iPhone serves ads too boss. Stop cap.

Please share a screenshot.

Apple prides itself with Privacy matters and your 'claim' is at best, interesting.

Maybe you were sold an itel iphone

YOUNGEBEN91:
Is it just me?

Get an Iphone.

If they can do this to your wallpaper, do you know what else they can do?

It's China, remember.

Good day N/landers.

My brother's friend gifted me a laptop before he left Nigeria.
HP Compaq 530 and its operating system is Windows Vista. It has no battery, he said I should buy a new battery.
I made research about it, I deduced that its an old model and some browsers do not accept this operating system again.
It is too slow, its not playing some movies and few that its playing are even skipping.

I don't know anything about laptops and I don't know any I.T person that can put me through.
When I put it on on Saturday, it was too slow to response, it took like 6 minutes before I could access Microsoft Office on the system and right now its not even booting.
I was thinking of formatting it.

Pls N/landers can I use it for my school activities?
What are the things that ought to be done in the system?

listen for hard disk noise. If absent, format and clean install.

Dont bother buying a battery if cost of battery and SSD upgrade has more value than the laptop.

DannyTany:
i have question what is the best site to make

Your question is not clear.

If you can rephrase, some people would be able to answer you.

Cheers

Mumu....
You'll never see any of my projects... Cry from now till next Year.

nemo dat quod non habet

GREATIGBOMAN:
When you're ready sir.
Buzz me.... the only thing I know is array sorting algorithms.... seriously yes!


I buys scripts from codecanyon and themeforest, every blessed day... that's a fact lol...

like I really do... Every blessed day!

It's easier, sweeter and better pay.

If u had asked me 7 years ago when showing of stupid projects meant something to me... would have sent u my GitHub..


I know u have less than 1 year experience in this field.... n still hoping for remote jobs.

You have 7 years experience and you are still buying 'scripts' for wordpress sites....and you dont have any set of projects you can tie to your name, even as a show-off that you are?

I dont want your kind of experience.

You are nothing but a bend-down-select wordpress template tailor.

If e sure for you, share your projects. Till then, run along.

GREATIGBOMAN:
Lols clown...
Nairaland actual real members is around 500k.
Lindaikeji blog is more valuable than nairaland.

Websites/Apps less than 2 years old with less than 100k members are more valuable than nairaland.

PS... I don't look for scripts to clone.... i do a jobs based o customer request and i don't reinvent the wheel... something u wouldn't understand because u have zero paying jobs on ur portfolio.

At ur time and convenient... u can battle me on algorithms or any project of ur choosing... here on NL.

And yes.. NL design is ugly!!!

LOL

The only thing you say on every thread you troll is that people should battle you on algorithms.

You have said it so many times on so many threads, i guess the only thing you know is some array sorting algorithms.

You mention lindaikeji and it comes to no surprise...Your best attempts would possibly be some template-based wordpress vomits which is why you are always looking for 'scripts' all over the internet.

Your type hunts for templates and ready-made projects everywhere and mash them up together.

Share your projects here and let's see what you can do (or have done) and let's review.

GREATIGBOMAN:
How do u define success?
By the amount/money the site makes or by number of users?

You said the secret to Nairaland success lies on its ugly design.... i said NO! They are many beautiful successful websites.

The secret to Nairaland success is just time and luck... Nairaland was lucky to be one of Nigeria's first forum if not the first forum nothing more... Yet it is still not THAT successful... newer companies of 2-3 years old are worth more than Nairaland.

For you to ask how to measure a forum's success and not understand it is about the user engagement shows you are shallow on the subject.

Do you know how many sites have come up as competition to Nairaland and flopped in the last 10 years?

I asked that you mention names of the successful forums but you conveniently skip that part.

To you, the design is ugly. To millions of users, it is non obtrusive.

PS: Just went through some of your posts and can see you look for 'scripts' to clone for your wordpress projects. Try to sit down and write complete web projects on your own and you would understand the effort Seun put into this project.

If you think Nairaland is so bad, make yours and let's see. Afterall, you know where to get your 'scripts'.

Rgade:
True. People need to stop give NL all this stick.
Nairaland is a forum like you said. It’s like an online newspaper stand where you come to read news and argue with people you don’t know.
The forum literally only needs EDGE network to load
NL is perfect for what it is unless you want seun to build an entirely new project altogether.
But one thing that really needs to be sorted out is navigating pages inside a thread. One has to be able to go to a specific page within a thread or at least cover a long distance when clicking next.
Imagine moving through a thread with 100s of pages and you’re only able to move 3 pages at a time. This kind of improvement would take a lot of work and that’s the kind of improvement needed not css padding and fancy background gradients

True.

Another thing is that Seun should introducing upvoting and downvoting comments just like Reddit. He should also introduce comment threading.

Rubbish comments would be relegated to the rear.

This would make only relevant comments stay on the first page

Brogrammer:
Tbh, I'm still hooked on vanilla but when I tried Tailwind, it made a lot of sense and I kinda of work faster because - it saves me from the stress of coming up with class names, fear of styles collision etc

Will see if I can master it within a month

One good thing with Tailwind is that you do not need to master it to use it.

Take a deep dive through the docs, have some practice and build muscle memory. Dazall.

GREATIGBOMAN:
Are u 4king kidding me?

You can only complain yet offer no evidence.

Mention one other Nigerian website with the same daily contributors, influence, social relevance and membership like Nairaland.

GREATIGBOMAN:
That is not the secret to its success... they are many beautiful successful websites

Please share which one has the same Nigerian success and let's review.

A lot pf people criticize Nairaland but what they fail to understand is that the current minimalist design is the secret to its success.

Nairaland is very light and responsive. It works on all screens.

It is not resource hungry and it loads very fast.

We all know that the site design is old but we tend to forget that the google design is older.

Nairaland is a forum.

The areas i would like seun to work on would be on security, moderation and features.

Nairaland could have been advanced into Africa’s Facebook

ExplorerReturns:
@ Programmer the large codeset stuff is not really an issue if you are using modern frameworks like react and Vue which heavily make use of reusable components.

Writing a traditional multiple page website with tailwind css is a maintenance nightmare

Tailwind makes development easier and projects easier to maintain.

Implement reusable components and use @apply for repetitive styles (h1, btn, box etc) and you are good to go.

I started using Tailwind over a year ago and i have not done anything with vanilla css since then.

Tailwind allows you to think in code. You can only understand this statement once you get it. If you are still wired in vanilla, it would seem like gibberish.

SqueezedPant:
Vanilla anyday of the same , same way I was hyped to enter bootstrap only to leave after
I hope it isn't same with JavaScript as well , hyped to enter react only to see things I do with react ,I do them with vanilla in even lesser time

Lol.

Your vanilla is better than a framework?

Share a github link and let us village people see your work.

Osama2478:
Thank you for your contribution. I have only tried to shorten the story as much as possible. As of this moment, she is now with me in Europe. As someone also said above, she was never remorseful about the whole thing in fact, she never saw anything wrong in what she did.

Before I saw the fund transfer between them, I have been working on her traveling plans alongside the kids. When their visas were approved, I was still keeping the whole thing under wrap and was hoping to start telling people until they reach here or closer to their departure, I never knew that my wife had already told that my friend. Only for the guy to reach out to me to show him ways on how to travel and pretending as if he didn't know anything about the visas of my family.

From the way he was talking, he gave himself out until I found out that my wife had to him. It is one of the reasons why I ended my friendship with the guy as I don't consider him as a friend anymore. As for the wife too, I can't afford to close my two eyes while with her again. It is very obvious that I am dealing with a dangerous woman.

For this abroad, I am scared of having any significant investment to her knowledge because I am tired and wary of her. A marriage without trust is as good as dead.

The guy wanted to travel to be with your wife.

Unfortunately, you have brought her over.

Her loyalty doesn’t lie with you and she is now in a female country. There is little you can do now.

Be careful, dont let her matter enter your head. Even if you catch her cheating, please dont do anything that can affect your life in Europe.

Just focus on your kids and be a good father.

Ddokie:
Who told you that the bread from that bakery won't find its way to supermarkets? Abi na for supermarket dem dey make the bread?

Where do you live?

Major supermarkets own their bakeries nowadays.

Wallade:
I don't maintain a close relationship with my siblings in view of my marriage; every one minds their marriage.

If you fail to define the boundaries between your initial family (siblings, parents and extended family) and your own family (wife and kids), you will have more family issues to address.

You must get to the point where you realize that your brother, siblings and parents are outsiders in your marriage.

Let me ask you: how many toasters do you want to protect your wife from? Are you gonna be picking fights with everyone you suspect to be hitting on your wife or to be dating your wife? I suspect you are a SIMP already.

These are my opinions about the op and you; I am entitled to my opinion.

Believe me, i know there must be clear gaps in relationships with family members. This is the crux of the matter. The OP is not defining that.

What do you want the wife to do? Insult the step brother while her husband watches?

Some cultures put the brothers’ above the wife.

If the bully was not a family member, then the situation could have been different.

Wallade:
The half brother is an outsider in that marriage. I have no business with him, I can't focus on him because he is a mere temptation or trial personified in that marriage. The half brother is inconsequential.

Apologies, but it is either you are not married or you dont have a close relationship with your siblings or both.

Your brother is never an outsider if you grew up together.

Some people’s best friends are their siblings.

A husband must protect his family. Period. In this situation, the husband has done nothing to protect his wife or kids. He is only sulking online and sharing distrust about his wife.

If you believe the woman needs no protection and should be the suspect here, no problem. Thats your opinion. I have also shared mine.

Cheers

Wallade:
So, let's assume the op doesn't act. Should the wife eventually give in to the half brother if he makes advances at her.

A wife can be called good if she politely turns the half brother down and if he persists, she is expected to discuss his advances or behavior with her husband.

She is expected to resist the advances or inappropriate behavior of the half brother, even to the knowledge of her husband and leave it at that.

She has not been doing that. She wouldn't take repeated calls from her husband but almost immediately took the call of his half brother. What does that mean?

It seems she has interest in the half brother or she is already into him.

Not once did you condemn the step brother's actions. You kept on finding ways to put the blame basket at the wife.

You talk about 'expectations' for the wife. You act like nothing is expected from the idiotic brother.

Let the OP man up and protect his family.

Wallade:
What makes you think he has a good wife?

The wife has studied the relationship within the family and recognises where the power is. Power and control is currently not with the OP (irrespective of how 'masculine' he tries to sound).

The wife has observed many chances for her husband to stand up for his family but the man of her family has consistently chickened out.

The step brother is a narcissistic bully and by nature a manipulative fellow. He is playing all the power games and it is evident one of his dreamed prizes is the OP's wife.

If the OP doesnt act, the step brother would possibly rape his wife and the OP would only keep suspecting the wife for infidelity. The OP is blind to his potential weakness against his brother and can only attack the potential victim in this matter, in this case, his wife.

The wife needs all the help she can get from her husband against the bully, not suspicions.

Hi guys,

Something happened 9 months ago, I decided to keep mute or probably just wait for the right time to commence my investigation to actually know what is going on between my step brother and my wife.

So I'm 9 years already into my marriage, and we have 3 kids. My step brother who is the 2nd of my mum has temperamental problem.

He's bossy and very vulgar plus he's controlling, everybody knows him for that, he was married 13 years ago, however after his family relocated to the USA, he later found
out that his 3kids aren't his, the marriage ended like that, ever since then he's been traumatized, emotionally and any other way one can describe him as. Sometimes in order to at least feel that children presence around him, he would ask me to have my children come over to his place for some days, and I could witness how that really helped him over time, but then I noticed the absence of his wife started making him familiarize with my wife in certain odd manners which I was not really down with.

For example, if he comes to our house, most times comes around with a friend, either female or male, my wife seems not to be the attache type who would sit with us in the living room, she will rather be upstairs in the room, I have witnessed cases where he will shout at her, saying how can everybody be here and ur there upstairs?

There was even a time when one of the visitors he came with sighed and made face in a way that defined, wow, "was that necessary". Or times when he will ask her to cook stew for her, if she forgets or probably didnt want to do it because she knew it isnt her duty, she will be yelled upon, you'll here things like, where
is the egusi i told u to make, even the one you made last time, u didnt put enough this and that

Now yall might think am a dullard or a simp, or someone too relaxed as gentle and as patient as I am, I be original demon, if I start my madness, the result will end in eternal damage, and our family background from my mums side where this my brother was born, we tend to uphold unity over adversity, so when things like this occur, mum would rather have us calm and not fight so unity can continue.

So sometimes last year, the major issues started grooming that made me start to think if there was something going on with my step and my wife, it started with when the kids were with him, so madam and I were suppose to go for outing, so we decided to branch at his place to check up on the kids, on getting there while in his living room, he said to my wife "I like your hair" she responded thanks, he was like are u guys going out, I was like yea am taking her out, next thing she asked my madam, so when are we going on
our own outing? I shrugged and didnt understand where that came from, though she didnt answer him.

While we were leaving, I was waiting for her to bring up the topic and put it to me that why did ur brother say such a thing, even if its a joke, its too expensive, but she didnt, I brought up the topic, and she was like shes surprised too that she never thought he would say such a thing.

5 days later, we had a family party in his house, my other brothers, cousins and my mum, my children were there, while the
caterer were cooking outside, and we were all in his living room drinking, he opted to get some meat to dish and give everybody to at least be chewing something, he served it round but when it got to my wives turn, the one he already bit off from was what he gave her, funny thing is, it was only my mum and myself that saw the scene, my wife was not aware, that was when I knew something could be going on.

Afterwards, I put the ish through to my wife, she acted disgusted and said she cant blv he would do such, that although my mum already called her to say the same thing. So I asked details of what she discussed with my mum, she said my mum advised her that whenever he calls her, she shouldnt pick, that when he knows its obvious that shes avoiding his call, he probably would want to report to her, and then she will now break the silence of what she my wife have been experiencing with him thus her refusal to pick his call.

So I called my mum and I was like being calm, patient and cooperating with the useless policy of the family doesnt mean that the recent things happening won't seat any longer with me, that am gonna have to confront him and put him in his place. My mum begged me and begged, cos she's 76 years old, I considered and I had no choice but to cooperate with her advise.

The funny thing is, after this whole ish, I asked her that if he calls, will you pick, she answered yes I will, but I will have to see what he has to say first to know if I will continue the conversation or not, I was like for real? You must be kidding me, it means something that I am not suppose to know of is happening, she was like oh well its ur fault, why didn't u confront him instead of listening to ur mums advise.

Since then, I have let it slide, but what actually made me bring up this issue again, was when I went to my bros house to pick some stuffs my sister sent from the USA, madam was off to the market, I called her to ask if she would like the only size 10 of the shoe I saw cos she wears 9, she didnt pick after calling like 4 times, immediately my brother called her with his own phone, she picked and was like sorry when you called I try to pick but it was nt connecting, I just weak at that moment sey wetin dey sup.

Guys, ladies, from deep experiences u guys must have gone through, what do u think could be wrong and what do yall think I should do, something could be happening
that if I dont unravel early, it might be the cause of ones demise or destruction.

You have a good wife but you are a dull husband.

Protect your wife from that beast.

Tell that brother to start respecting your family pr he should stay on his lane.

Dont lose your wife

ASAPFERG1:
if I share am here, mods to close the thread

No. Not referring to your own post.

Cheers bro.

MikoB:
Actually it is against the convention rules that a contestant should mount the podium twice after his or her opening remark, this was exactly what Tambuwal did, he made his opening remark and he also came back again to ask his delegates to vote Atiku, but where technicalities will come in is that, how would wike differentiate the number of delegates that voted Atiku that were meant to vote Tambuwal in the first place? The best that can happen with this case is for the Judge to annul the convention in totality, since the actors did not follow the lay down rules.

I agree with your first postulation. Except PDP actually counted Tambuwal's explicit votes for Atiku (instead of voiding it), then it would be hard to prove that some of Atiku's votes actually belonged to Tambuwal.

The judge cannot annul the convention in totality because it would disadvantage Atiku who committed no disputed act whatsoever. He was merely an onlooker, albeit a beneficiary.

Atiku's camp can even twist this on Wike and claim that it was a planned work between Wike and Tambuwal with an endgame of ensuring it becomes disputed.

TheLordofHost:
She has been staying with me since the beginning of ASUU strike, almost 6 months now and we have been having sex without protection. I don’t even pull out.

I don’t think she is on birth control. I love this girl but I think she is infertile.

Is this normal with some women? Because I don’t want to take the relationship serious anymore .

MODIFIED: To the idiots down there accusing me of being impotent. I AM NOT.
If you check my previous posts you’d see I have a child already. 2 other girls have gotten pregnant for me but ended up aborting .

I would not be posting this if I didn’t love this girl and plan to marry her later on.

Get a DNA test done on ‘your’ child.

This format don stale.

Person create thread and the same person dey respond.

Make dem dey DM you abi?

Anything that cant be shared here is a bandwagon scam.

My phone was stolen few hours ago in a bus when i went to get food. I stay around Ikotun and would really appreciate any help. Please anyone?? I have the pack and the receipt intact.

Its an android.

Get an iPhone next time and even then, at least you know the thief can only sell it in parts.

Sorry for the loss.

sudo is a unix command that grants higher priviledges and used on unix platforms. Mac OS and Linux are both unix.

sudo adb-s calls the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) and allows communication with an android device.
[adb -s <deviceName> <command> (redirect command to specific device)]

println is a method in java.

Long and short...The 'hacker' is trying to send an SMS from/to using the Android Device.

The command is not complete though as many parameters are still missing and why is println being used with set?
