  • Are the tracks incorrect as in the first track should be English but is the French track, or track one is labelled as English but is actually French?

    If they’re labelled correctly, your media player should be able to select your chosen language from the options, whichever order they’re in. I think Plex does it.

    If they’re incorrectly labelled, there are tools that can fix them, but it’s been years since I last used one. I think MakeMKV did it, but it was gui from what I remember.

    It was nothing to do with the phone. I tried to find one for my father to use for his computer, as he only used the internet now and then, but the SIM only plans had data restrictions on tethering.

    They started off as unlimited pay as you go with prices charged by the megabyte then gigabyte, then once high data plans came in, they started to get restricted.

    As I said, it’s been changing, but as far as I know, there are still plans with tethering restrictions.

    I don’t think it would ever fly in Europe.

    It does, or at least did. I’m in the UK, and it used to be fairly common. Over the last few years, maybe the last decade, more and more providers used the lack of tethering restrictions as an advertised feature to show that they were better than the competition.

    Now that we’ve left the EU though, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the restrictions come back. We’ve already lost free EU roaming on a lot of tariffs.

    Overlord: Raising Hell.

    I’ve been playing it on and off for years, but I’ve usually only been able to play for an hour or so at a time, then not play for months. I lost track of the storyline, and then forgot how to play properly.

    I’ve been able to play for a few hours at a time for the last few days, and it’s been great :D

    Unfortunately it doesn’t clear anything up. It’s a m2007j17g, and some sites label it with the 5G, while some label it without. Xiaomi UK doesn’t have any results for the model number, and lists both versions. The specs are pretty vague for both, saying things like one supports lpddr4 vs lpddr5

    I don’t think every update would come with an updated version of every system app that would automatically get installed.

    I think we’re on the same page, but looking at it from different angles.

    I’ve uninstalled updates and disabled the apps, but a system update restores them. I would imagine that disabling them with ADB would end up with the same result. Removing them with root should, in theory at least, remove them completely.

    If I get more than five minutes to myself this weekend, I’ll try the ADB method and see what happens 👍

    Thanks for replying :)

    This works because applications truly aren’t fully uninstalled from your device. They are just being uninstalled for the current user

    This is what I mean by hiding them. It’s essentially just removing the shortcuts. Can’t they still be restored by an update this way?



  • I vaguely remember reading about that when I was younger. I don’t know if it’s true, but this is what I read.

    The peasants and farmers were made to stand in the fields throwing stones at the sparrows, preventing them from landing. The thinking was that the sparrows would die from exhaustion, if they weren’t killed by the stones.

    What actually happened was that the existing crops were either trampled or broken by the stones, and as the farmers weren’t working the fields, nothing grew the following year either.

    Like I say, I have no idea whether it’s true, or if it was just 80’s anti communist propaganda, but it’s stuck in my head ever since.
