Well, today I went to the Champs Elysees to take some photos for the users of the forum (especially aa1234779). When I looked at the photos after coming back, it was a catastrophe, they are blurry, and I noticed that I could only have 6mb pixels photos (instead of 16). The culprit is Android Oreo. I installed it on my samsung s6 and I regret that. If you also have an old smartphone, don't install it. And if you want to buy a new smartphone, don't buy it either.
Apparently, it's a well known issue: http://piunikaweb.com/2018/02/02/mi-a1-oreo-fiasco-continues-as-xiaomi-confirms-camera-issues/

photos here: https://ufile.io/fv8i7

Note: the first photo is in the 1st arrondissement (palais brogniart).
On the second photo, it's behind the petit palais, Avenue Dutuit, near the champs elysées (this is the only place where you can park your car "for free" in the vicinity. Well, it's not free in fact,  there are parking ticket machines, except it was a bank holiday today. And there are Vinci parkings a bit further, but its shareholders don't need my money). A man was sleeping on the ground. Was it mr baboon? Probably not. Maybe one of the 600 traders laid off by Goldman sachs in NY, who couldn't afford a McChicken in the nearby Mcdonald's.

The photo of the Champs Elysees is officially my WhatsApp profile photo for the next couple of months.
They aren't bad, unless you zoom in there is no blurriness.
I have a xiaomi redmi 5 plus. The camera sucks already and oreo for it won't come out until the last quarter of 2018. Hopefully the issue will be solved by then.

All this is sheer marketing. Why don't they keep old software when it's working? It's the same thing with windows 10. A few new features, but it's basically a rebranded windows 7.
Maybe you should compare with these photos: http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=2283.msg19884#msg19884
There is a difference.

Yes, there is difference in quality no doubt. But still, the scenery is just amazing!

So where's everyone?

Y'all that aren't fasting Ramadan, where are you guys?

Ramdan Mubarak to everyone who celebrates it, where are you guys too?

gone? tired? It's hard to know. The forum is like a frozen work of art, there are still users browsing it, but nobody feels like spoiling it.

California is experiencing new devastating wildland fires. This could be due to climate change.

Wildfires in California have been happening as far back as I can remember, and almost always during the summer. There's plenty of wood to burn and very easy to start a fire, expecially in dry conditions.

Yes that's true. But the question is simple: if there is a climate change, is it worsening the wildfires? And the answer is certainly yes.

A few interesting articles:
If some users of the forum decide to meet somewhere in order to make a startup (look at my caption), and become as successful as Pablo Escobar, it seems The Philippines would not be a relevant choice.
