Looking for popular Linux games

Hi, thank you for the list. Actually we are looking for games with source code and we will pay for that. Do you have any idea where I can find some?

Wiki has a nice list of open source games that you can reuse, modify, and commercially redistribute. They're a mix of games from all platforms, so you'll have to figure out which are for linux.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_video_games

Rest the mouse cursor on the name of the game to get a description popup. The same can be done for most links on wiki.

Create app to votation

I need to create a voting app that works like this:

- all candidates are matched
- The candidate chosen is the one who wins the most disputes, for example: AxB = A; AxC = A; BxC = C, then the result will appoint candidate A as the winner.
- If there is a tie, he would continue to repeat the same alternatives to reach the winner.
- Finally, the last candidate (with the lowest number of votes) should also appear in the final report.

Can anyone help me by guiding me how to start developing this? It won't have to work online or anything like that.

"Fast USB Car Charger"

Thanks to both of you. I could not find the Samsung charger on their web site because the search feature wasn't intelligent enough to recognize "Car Charger". I had to do chat support and they sent me the link...a "Vehicle Charger". They say its compatible and it was half price at $20 bucks and comes with a cable, so its a good bet and good value.

Here's the Samsung product

I read down the finer print on the Anker charger ocnbrze is using and found this:

"Note Not compatible with Mazda CX-5 2014, Mazda 3 2012, Mazda 3 2013, and Mazda 3 2016. Not compatible with full-speed charging for Note 9, S9, S9+, S10, and S10+. These devices will charge at normal speed"

This is what made me go back to Samsung and ask them about it. Now, it will be interesting to see if the one I bought from them will actually fast charge

Email addresses in a Google sheet

I hold email addresses for a club on a Google sheet. The addresses are used to send out newsletters via Gmail. I normally do this using my Windows desktop or laptop with no problem. However I have just tried using an Android tablet (Samsung and Huawei) and my Motorola phone, and although I can copy the addresses, they will not past into the Gmail address box. This seems very strange given its a total Google environment, given it works on Windows 10. Can anyone suggest how I might get it to work please?

s5 Battery situation in 2019 (ANKER no longer available!)

Most likely that "OEM" battery is fake.

I have no doubt that all of these "OEM" batteries are fake.

But who knows, sometimes the Chinese make pretty good knock offs. Some times the supplier factories still keep making them. Who knows. Without being involved in the battery industry and becoming intimately familiar with the supply chain, there is no way for us to know. I think it's basically a crap shoot. Which is why I bought (3) batteries when I only need 1 or maybe 2 right now.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sim2 has better reception quality than Sim1 slot

So I had my Vivo phone for a couple of months now, originally I installed the 4G card in the Slot 1, reception quality is good outside but in the underground parking it's almost impossible to capture 4G signal, most of the time the network symbol is switched to H+.

Last month I spent 2 weeks abroad for a family visit. While staying there I bought a temporary local 4G Sim and put it in the Slot 1, moving the main Sim to the Slot 2. When I came back from vacation, I didn't remove the junk 4G card but I disabled it from the Settings page. I noticed that the reception quality is suddenly improved, I even can use 4G connection in places where it's impossible to use before.

I did a test by placing the main Sim card back to the Slot 1, the reception quality is dropped significantly, just like before.

I'm no engineer so this whole experience makes me a bit perplexed. Not sure if it's just my phone or it's common thing on all smartphones.

Help Sharing Photo - Random Contact Suggestions?

Thanks so much for the helpful info :)
You're welcome.
I know some people who don't get this issue on their Androids, so it's a little odd.
It has to be some issue of commonality, like using the same Android version, or using the same manufacturer's devices, or...who knows? You and I must have something(s) in common that those other people don't. Lucky us! :D
