Database Develop

hahahahaha!! You go Google!!

Rarely start threads but I had to start a second one today. This is too funny.
What Google is doing here is absolutely ****ing classic!!
I don't condone piracy but I also don't condone third parties being cost money in the dispute between copyright holders and copyright infringers.
Under the DMCA copyright holders are allowed to issue takedown requests for supposed infringements. Well instead of them taking on the actual sites that hold the offending materials or torrents, they have started sending takedown requests to search engines. Thus costing a third party money. Many search engines are considering starting to charge for requests. And rightly so.
Last week Google alone received over 700,000 requests.
A few weeks ago, Google started publishing stats for these requests.
Well now they have started publishing the actual requests. ROTFLMAO.
What this does is actually create a database of links to "pirated" material.
So copyright holders have their takedown requests published. Those requests contain links to the offending material. So they have accomplished NOTHING. Additionally, they now have to issue another takedown request to Google for the aforementioned original takedown request. Well that gets published and, boom, another link to pirated material is generated and published.
And so on, and so on, and so on.......
It is puuuuuurrrree genious/evil!!!

Now maybe companies will start taking on the actual offenders instead of third parties.

The Latest and Greatest in Software News

Need to find the latest news in software? Here's the place to look. Want to be the first to leak information about the new Android? Post it here. Everyone sees software news in their own device's forums but why not post it here for everyone to see?. What's the point of going all over the place to find the most recent software news when you can find it here?
Yes, the XDA portal is a great source for software news but all the information is dependent on what gets approved by XDA staff. Here, you have free reign to post the software related news that matters to you.
And before it's said...yes, there is already a forum for computer and laptop discussion, but it seems to be geared towards the hardware side. This thread is specifically for software news. And I've already checked with Archer so everything is copacetic (no need for ib4l ). Oh, and be sure to post links or it didn't happen.
So, without further ado...
Stop-gap' way to get Linux on Windows 8 machines to be issued
Penguins are playing ball with a Windows 8 Linux-blocking security mechanism to keep their favorite operating system on PCs…
The Foundation plans to obtain a Microsoft key to sign a pre-bootloader from core Linux kernel maintainer James Bottomley. Together, the key and pre-bootloader will allow users to start up and run Linux as an authorised piece of software on Windows 8 PCs –*it would otherwise have been barred by the machine as potential malware.

Flip this app: Secondary mobile app market quietly taking off
App creators without the time or inclination to service or monetize their apps can simply sell them off for a flat, up-front sum of money. Buyers can then either tweak them as they like or not, and either attempt to monetize them themselves or re-sell the apps to still another party.

[UCCW] Thread of shame

A lot of us contribute to the uccw app by sharing what we create. Through this sharing we've seen some amazing and creative things be born. We share with everyone with the assumption the work shared is not exploited for profit by some person who just rebrands it with a different name, and sells it as their own. In most cases a courtesy email is not even given asking for permission to use the work. Understanding it is distributed freely by the creator, they still have creative rights to that skin if you decide to redistribute for sale.
That being said I've always been taught to do the right things growing up, like don't lie, don't steal and be generous when you're able. So... since some people find it hard to do so, I think it would be beneficial to maintain a thread of shame listing those users who operate outside the realm of honesty. Thefts who are caught stealing other people's skins/work without permission will be posted here and 'outed'.
Let's see if public shame can do what your sense of right & wrong could not.

I have not given him my consent to use this, nor has he asked me, blackbearblanc, or pooely .
Note, He has also taken pooely Google now weather beta and sold that on his own before being caught and having it taken down.
Please take a min and visit his play store links and report the skins and send him an email of appreciation. An email to Google would be appreciated as well.
Thank you.

So this is really off-topic, but some rom devs have created their own Discord Server, where you can do anything related to Rom's. It's 2020-10-19 at the time I am writing this thread and currently this server isn't set up fully. But it is a place where ROM Devs Can Enjoy there stay Collaborate and Share Knowledge . So you aren't a rom dev? Than you can talk with other people in the server about phones rom what you are doing and etc. This is a place to relax and figure out stuff. You probably wont need to start searching all over the web for HOW TO FIX stuff. Once we hit 5 thousand people we will grow this Discord Server into a Official Discord Partner Server.

Advertizing and Revenue

I got a Tecno advertorial page pushed to me, regarding Phantom and did some research. I would have asked them directly, but no contact information I could find, #1 issue.
In spite of making a "presence" claim of dozens of countries, No US, Canada, or EU. Europe included Russia and Turkey on one product but not the other. The world is much larger that just those places, full of competition, safety and other enforced standards. #2
A claim of high-end or exclusivity which translates to me high prices and false claims of better. There is s history with mobile phones, but elsewhere as well. Exclusive, premium, luxury are never claimed, especially on web sites, if other than high prices. #3
Web content or printed material has no errors in spelling or syntax. I only am barely fluent in English. Their website is not. #4
Models are released over time. A single model indicates a lot of new or unique ideas, limited experience with product. A lot of models with very similar features released about the same time indicates lack of experience as does non-unique parts like shared screen sizes or lack of features or functions not available elsewhere. #5 and #6
Claims made that are not compared to avoid exposure as invalid. See post consumer recycle claim, foldable premium claim for obvious doubt generators. #7
There is a lot more to be skeptical of. I also wonder what seasoned Android developer would pay full retail for one to use dail While non-devopers aren't excluded, are there no standards for what is advocated with a kick-back revenue component?

I definitely had the same reaction...and I was sure most of it was lost in translation -- but looking at OP's posting history, all other posts are well spoken not broken English well enough, so.....
I barely get the gist of what OP's saying; there's an ad that may or may not be legit...? Even the numbers counting the listed reasons are at the end of the sentence? Maybe the original language is like Hebrew or Middle Eastern and writes from right to left?
