Spoken like someone who doesn't understand how VR can give motion sickness

According to Reddit's rules on mods, only older mods with the proper permissions can remove him.

You said any given post which implies every post.

By that I meant you never know which AP post would get taken down, thus "any given post". I didn't say every post, just any.

There's a mod who has it out for Android Police for whatever reason, who probably removed the first post. His usual bs reason is because AP articles are "rehosted content" (rule 5) even though AP does not repeat exactly what their sources said and they simplify/paraphrase things a bit to give us readers a better understanding of the topic of their articles. Also, by that logic, 99% of any other articles posted to this sub by any site should be banned due to rule 5's "rehosted content" since most articles have a source linked.

This article has no linked source, so by that mod's logic, this article is not "rehosted content". So if this post gets removed, I'm sure a mod could cite rule 5 again but instead because this post was a "repost", even though mods removed the original post in the first place.

That behavior is really getting out of hand and if it is that same mod that removed that post, it's becoming quite clear that there's a conflict of interest between that mod and Android Police, which is one of the most reputable sites to post content about on this sub specifically. Mods might need to talk about this, this has been going on for a good half a year now, even Artem (AP's editor) publicly called that mod out on Google+.

EDIT: Usually when mods remove a post on this sub, they flair the reason why (or sticky a comment in the thread with the reason). Notice the older post has no flaired reason or stickied comment, which leads me to believe a mod did it "just because".

EDIT 2: This post was removed as well with no explanation. Only a matter of time before someone else posts the same article.

EDIT 3: Mods are really trying to hide this for some reason.

Sure! I wasn't avoiding your post, just waiting until the next time the mods did it, and guess what? They just did it

That link is a repost of this one, which got 201 upvotes and had 133 comments and was on /r/android frontpage before being removed for no reason.

This is a common occurrence, and I think it's one mod in particular who tends to remove the posts but I don't remember who (nor even if I did, I wouldn't put names). The reason why you and so many others hardly notice is because usually the person who reposts it didn't even know there was an original post in the first place.

To better tell the difference between my two links:

Original (removed) post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6fnp89/exclusive_this_is_the_oneplus_5/

Reposted (by a different user): https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6foitv/exclusive_this_is_the_oneplus_5/

Notice the post id in the URL is different but points to the same exact article.

There's also late teens/early 20s kids who get pregnant and are super excited about it, greatly underestimating what it truly means to have a kid.

like an 18+ area at a rent place of old, so no young eyes can get a peak which would put Netflix into any legal hot water

If you're gonna put porn behind an age barrier, you're gonna have to put about half of Netflix behind an age barrier. Many of Netflix's top shows are definitely not for people under 18.

Probably best to just have a separate service for just porn. But even then, if Netflix charges for it, no one will use it because again, who pays for porn?

To be fair, who would actually use Netflix for porn? Who pays for porn? Who would want porn in their viewing history (which for Netflix is not easy to delete)?

Never seen it, looks like a Family Guy knock-off from the promo image I've seen. Is it like Family Guy?

If that's the case, you're better off watching American Dad (also on Netflix). Same animation style, better humor.

Wrong, it goes EOL next year. Android O will be the last major update, but the 5X/6P will still get security updates for another year.

EDIT: Apparently the word "wrong" triggers people who have no actual argument or can't find a way to contribute to the conversation topic.

That sounds like a memory leak

Usually I wait until the APIs are finalized and devs can publish O-ready apps to the Play Store. That way bugs can actually be fixed by devs since they can update their apps with the new APIs.

And yes, this month's beta release will be the finalized-API release.

I highly doubt early August. August 14 at the earliest. Stock images are built about a month ahead of time (There's an Android API that gets the build time of your phone. Pixels on the June security patch official image were built May 18, about 18 days before release yesterday.) They're finalized a good bit ahead of time, and the final beta release of Android O is scheduled for mid-July.

Most likely, if all goes well with that last beta, Google will ship that about a month later (mid-August), most likely merged with August's security patches as well. If there's any bugs that need fixing, they'll merge them in and this will most likely delay O's release by a week or two (late-August).

Reliable source or not, I'm more inclined to believe historical data and Google's actual build policy on official Android versions than David Ruddock. This info can't be that reliable if he's choosing to tweet it than make an actual Android Police story out of it. Probably because he (or Artem his boss) know they have nearly no credible info on actually reporting it. And AP is a site that routinely reports on rumors and unofficial info with degrees of reliability.

High price, at least $650 like other flagships. Really takes away from their "cheap but great hardware" angle. At that price, you might as well get a Pixel. At least you know you'll get at least 2 years of updates compared to 2 months with OnePlus.

I think it's less of "expecting something new" and more of "everything that was reported so far is now on record and under oath and can officially be used against Trump in Senate hearings".

They want to give people a reason to continue using emulators.

And the PS3 had better-rated exclusives and carried the same cross-platform games Xbox got. And online costs relatively the same.

Unless all your friends were on Xbox, getting a PS3 seemed like a better choice on paper.

Not really. As long as iPads don't support 3D Touch, it's pretty counter-intuitive to solely design major app actions around 3D Touch.

Plus most devs accomplish the same tasks usually via a long-press, which works on every device. No hardware fragmentation problems.

Is 3D Touch helpful? Sure. But should it be a major way of navigating apps or performing actions? No. It is the iPhone equivalent of a middle-mouse-click.

I guess you haven't seen his latest reviews lately of some 2017 tech. He clearly shows disappointment, especially when he compares it to 2016 tech.

They're finally taking on Dropbox at their own game.

Isn't this a standard feature now of cloud storage? Google Drive and Box do this too.

Why would you want to print it?

It can only last so long. Google stopped supporting GB with Play Services and the support library (backported APIs). GB's death will be quicker than Froyo's.

If only their Android dev support was as good as their customer support...

And by "Android dev support", I mean actual human contact support with us Android devs. We're at the mercy of their bots and automated systems for 99% of all problems.

That's my point. The other guy was saying how long-presses are "3D Touch-esque" as if long-presses weren't around way longer than 3D Touch.
