I hoping that someone is "tech smart" and can give me an idea of what the heck has happened.
The issue I'm experiencing is only affecting my Netflix app and only when I'm using my "mobile device". There was no problem yesterday in the morning but by the afternoon, a brightness issue. When I manually tried to make an adjustment, there was a message that said that I was unable to adjust the brightness, another app controlled it. WHAT???? There's no issues with Hulu, Amazon Prime Videos, YouTube, etc, just Netflix. Is anyone able to troubleshoot the problem?
This May help ?. only registered users can see external links . Also there is a possibility that Netflix uses a diferent media player on your phone than the other steaming apps your using .
No way! Like I hoped that I explained, this only affects my Netflix app on my mobile device. There's no issue watching Netflix on my iPad or my laptop, just my phone.
With the social distancing and self quarantine, lately and weather permitting, I will go down to our boardwalk, watch the freighters, people watch and sometimes watch "TV". Right now, I'm thoroughly engrossed in The Last Kingdom and dammit, my phone holds a charge better and longer than the iPad so that is my device of choice for that purpose and that location.
So I had another hummmm moment does anyone know if a fly lands on an infected counter top then later finds his way to my house can he infect my table with covid 19 it starting to get warm out and soon the flys will be out
Well,it is all possiable a tiny bit of the virus could get on him and be carried.But for how long it would live on him or the surface is hard to say because it would be tiny and diluted.
I was more concerned about mosquito bites myself but from what I understand it is not transmitable that way.But it could be carried in a fart so don't feed beans to a person who test positive.
OH you are welcome to kill as many of the bastards as you like!
Get a "ASALT Rifle" to kill them,make it fun. Google that,it is neat.I wanted 1 but aint got 1 yet.

You're worrying about house flies? Frick, I suppose we will have them as soon as it stops snowing in Michigan! Dang! It snowed yesterday and today, no accumulation and we had hail last week! Hello Spring!?
My thing at the moment is not so much flies . but post through the door . Do I sanitize the letter/package . Do I sanitize the contents . I have washed my blinking hands that much they now look like prunes . . The next big thing I guess will be a shortage of electronic fly zappers in the USA . Along with . Face masks and Bog paper. And in Michigan snow shovels .
Dgraff I think that's a valid possibility but not a concern. If I had Covid and coughed into my hand then touched my counter there's a good chance that the virus would be left on my counter.
Being a hard surface the virus could live happily on my counter for up to about 48 hours. If, during that time a fly came by and walked around it could (in theory) carry the virus to your counter (if you lived closer).
Now that it's on the other surface you could touch it and it might be on your hand but you would have to touch your eyes, nose or mouth in order to transfer it to your blood. Possible? I think so but barely and highly unlikely.
Here are three great habits:
1) Wash your hands WITH SOAP regularly.
2) Before you start cooking fill your sink with hot soapy water to clean the dishes, counter and your hands as you cook. If you want, add a couple of tablespoons of bleach to the water.
3) Don't rub your eyes with your fingertips!!!! Your fingertips are grotesquely filthy and a great way to put germs directly into your blood stream.
Cell phones, laptops and remotes are also filthy things!
Sorry that got so long.
Yikes and I live in the mountains of Pennsylvania last summer was the worst year I’ve ever seen for ticks then we all so have field mice mosquitoes Beatles and lady bugs
I have pulled off 3 ticks already this year.
IF I am reading that link right,skeeters can carry the malaria,a malaria drug is being used to treat Wuhan virus, hum,makes me wonder if the skeeter could carry the wuhan?
Ha! . Ironical isn't it . All those nuclear wepons the world has at its disposal . And not one can help us with this microscopic bug of an enemy we now have in our midst .
I’m a smoker of 45 years and two years ago I was hospitalized with a pulmonary embolism or in layman’s terms blood clots in my lungs so I’m not taking any chances if my government told me to stand on my head and hold my nose shut then that’s what I will do
There has been an abundance of abuses reported to the Evaluation Panel within the last 24 hours, or so. Seems like "old times". 😳 --------------------------------------- added after 59 minutes
And I referred a new member less than 60 minutes ago. --------------------------------------- added after 85 minutes
There are really no FIRM or CONSISTENT site guidelines regarding the matter, but what is YOUR opinion about members that post internet pictures?
"And what about name of new member and his pecadilo?" WTF is that supposed to mean? Are you asking me who I referred? I referred Exposedfantasy, his gallery of 34 pictures were of transgender women, pictures "borrowed" from the internet.
Hey, I have an idea. Since you seem to have such a tight rapport with admin, why don't you suggest that you and all the other members be given "viewing privileges" of the Evaluation Panel? That way you won't miss a beat and you can see what goes on, how people vote, etc.
Hey, while you're at it, because you're so special, why not ask him for special privileges to read other member's private messages. The worst that could happen is he would say "no".
That doesn't sound right. I respect private conversations between members. Now, anything posted in the public forums is fair game, weather I'm logged in or not. BTW, I'm not special, I'm nice.
Two simple questions resulted in an over-abundance of ignorance, ridicule, mock. Well, you got your laughs but I got a hell of a lot more laughs from you jockers. As usual, the evaluation panel is a hush hush place reserved for nefarious going on.
Jamie, pecadillo (yes, my spell checker didn't pick it up) means a small, relatively unimportant offense or sin.
Sometimes you need to read between theines, maybe she meant to say pecker-dildo.
Some women can't get the real thing. Someone very familiar with Amazon would be able to get them.
You are mistaken or you lie. I did not voted negative on thread but, just in case, I just voted twice FOR the thread. I don't play silly games a la Skittles.
No, I'm not mistaken nor did I lie. Sit down, take a deep breath, put on your bifocals and make sure you logout so you are able to reread what I wrote Skittles. I said you gave my POST, not the thread, POST, a (-1). You know, down in the lower righthand corner, next to "Reply".....
And you do play silly games. You are reading posts that you can only read when you're logged out because you have blacklisted Skittles and my post was directed to him.
Sorry, that's the first time I came across that. It's possible I did hit it by mistake. I did read Skittles post while logged out, but these days I seldom logg in except to contribute or play a game. If that's silly, so be it. The only difference is Skittles, a most raunchy, poor excuse for a human being. Of course, if a prominent member of SYC is having a chat with him, I would not see it if logged in.
An interesting thought but the person already decided to turn a blind eye to admin's initial warning.
As I mentioned to Scorpio69, the full conversation can be found on or around page #27. This post made by admin can be found there;
"The site is not supposed to have internet pics. And it's a violation of copyright laws to intentionally host copyrighted materials without their owners permissions. As long as they are occasional, within fair use, etc. - it's not a problem but for that they should not be a majority, just a minor portion. Also, I simply don't want this site to be something that it's not. It was made for people to share their photos. This site will be overwhelmed with internet pics if all members think they are ok.
If members want to share their favorite internet pics they can do it on their own page without placing them into categories. Or even for friends only."
In my opinion, you "get it". As a rule, I do NOT care whether members post internet pictures or not because there are a number of members that do.
In the past, I've voted that abuse was not valid, froze the voting and contacted the member MYSELF and requested that he/she remove the picture(s) from their gallery. As I said to Scorpio69, admin's warning is visible and printed in red each time a member uploads a new picture. In the case of the current reported member, his "several +" uploads of internet pictures has garnered him 6 TOP OF THE MONTH awards and hundreds of extra points and for what? Because he posted internet pictures that were well received by the numb-nuts members? Hell yeah, I'm going to vote to delete him and I'm okay with my reasons why.
Maybe a lesser consequence? Like the ability to delete certain photos, unno, like firing a shot across the bow as a warning. Only option was to delete the entire account over a few photos out of many?
Oh, I can't remember the exact date, it was mid December and aoneeyedmonster said something about the chicks with dicks appearing on the Popular page (the full conversation with input from admin is currently found on page #27).
This is a copy & paste of your post; "They MUST be from the internet. Afterall... What's the odds of knowing more than one chick with a dick, considering I don't know of even ONE. I agree though, if they aren't claiming to be that person, no harm no foul. Otherwise, you'd have to take action on those posting birds, cheetahs, etc. that they didnt personally take. That being said, I made the front page, i can't believe it! 😁"
Yes, he is a 5 year member, yes, he appears to have many more genuine and lack luster photos in his gallery but being a 5 year member, he should have known better and each and every time he uploaded an internet picture, he was "reminded" that he better be be posting his own picture(s). This member didn't upload the internet pictures under "miscellaneous", he uploaded them under "dick" and based on that exposure, and the multitude of members that don't give a rat's ass if it's an amateur photo of a "regular guy" or a commercial photo of a "professional model", he received a SHITLOAD of comments and votes that translated to 6 TOP OF THE MONTH awards. Look at his page. In the 5 years he's been here, he has 14 gifts on his page and 6 of those were awards for him posting internet pics. So what, you say. So look at his Activity Meter, it's 0, he doesn't interact with anyone, so in my opinion, he's expendable. So rather than being deleted, you that suggest a lesser consequence like being able to delete some pictures. Okay and forfeit the awards, too? Are you going to contact him and suggest that he edit his gallery or are you expecting Mr. admin to do the "dirty work"? Look, I was aware of what the guy was doing, I didn't report him but someone else did so now I will address the matter as a voting member of the Evaluation Panel.
What I don’t like is there seems to be a hole lot of members that have nothing better to do than go searching for problems on another members page then reporting them as a biker we called them narcs as a kid we called them tattle tails and no one likes a tattle tail with that being said one of my pet peeve is the way they report it they act like we as the abuse panel have nothing better to do then search the web looking up their cockamamie reports I feel very strongly about it if they are going to be a tattle tail at least the can supply proof with out a shadow of a doubt or I will vote to let them walk every time just like a real court of law
I hear your frustration and I agree. You are one of the members who is able to see how I normally vote and my mantra is "no proof = no abuse". I felt differently about deano43, an almost 5 year member because he received awards and accolades for posting internet pictures, 6 awards and amassed 770 points for merely posting internet pictures. His referral did not include proof HOWEVER I ADDED IT.
The member reporting deano43 may have been "searching for problems" but it is my opinion that the other profiles referred and deleted were primarily SYC profiles and those members stick out like sore thumbs and are quickly reported. The member that I reported was Exposedfantasy, a new member whose picture of a "chick with a dick" I spotted on the banner. After looking at his profile, if I recall correctly, his gallery was 90% internet pictures with websites visible.
In those cases I do agree with you I didn’t look past the lack of proof thing I should have waited a little to see how things played out it’s always tougher to be the first one to vote
No need to second guess your vote, I understood why you voted the way that you did based on your reasoning process. My vote was more at an "emotional" level because I was familiar with the the person being reported. Would I normally build a case for someone who did not provide proof? Hecky, NO!
And there is something on that referral that says something like; we will ignore referrals of copyright infringements if the proper DMCA is not provided.
So, my friend, YOU FOLLOWED ADMIN'S GUIDELINES, I did not.
Here's a copy & paste of what can be seen each and every time you upload a new picture. This looks different then what we would actually see because admin posts the warning in RED.
"Upload Your Nude Photo
You are logged in as bella!. Logout. To Main Page
1. Posting photos of nude people under 18 years old is a criminal offence in most of countries, even if those are photos of your own body.
2. Posting nude photos of other people without their consent is a criminal offence in many countries too. No joking, you can go to prison for that. "Revenge porn" laws, identity theft laws and copyright laws are applicable.
So post only your own photos or photos of people you have their explicit permission to post, all should be over 18 years old at the moment of shooting."
TOTM and POTM are two totly different features. TOTM (Top of the Month) is something that any member is able to win as long as their picture captures the attention of other members with the number of views, comments and votes. It wasn't that long ago that admin tweaked the workings of that feature so that the "average Joe" was able to compete and win while playing side-by-side with the jokers in the voting cliques.
POTM (Pic of the Month) is for verified members only and the picture you choose to enter is either [HOT] or [NOT]. At the end of the month, the SYD and SYC member with the most [HOT] votes is the winner.
The voting process on the referral you made yesterday really made me smile. One of the NO ABUSE reason/comments made was something like, "where's the proof?" or "where's the link?" DOI! Open your eyes because across the top of each picture was the website the pictures were "borrowed" from.
The issue I'm experiencing is only affecting my Netflix app and only when I'm using my "mobile device". There was no problem yesterday in the morning but by the afternoon, a brightness issue. When I manually tried to make an adjustment, there was a message that said that I was unable to adjust the brightness, another app controlled it. WHAT????

Being a hard surface the virus could live happily on my counter for up to about 48 hours. If, during that time a fly came by and walked around it could (in theory) carry the virus to your counter (if you lived closer).
Now that it's on the other surface you could touch it and it might be on your hand but you would have to touch your eyes, nose or mouth in order to transfer it to your blood. Possible? I think so but barely and highly unlikely.

The Ghost of JohnS?
She was right on it, gave my post a (-1) and posted this; "Abundance is a broad amount. 2,20,200? And what about name of new member and his pecadilo?"
My guess was that there were 4 or 5 referrals yesterday and 3 at the time that I made my post today. That seems like "an abundance" to me.
