Read deleted messages/notifications via notification log file on Samsung @ Android 10

If you want to see deleted Pushnotifications (and deleted WhatsApp messages as well), you need to find the notification log file from Android.

Since I found no way after an hour of research for my Galaxy A7 with Android 10, I figured out a way myself.

1. Install the app Activity Launcher from Playstore.

2. Open the app and search for "notification log".

3. You should see the point "notification log" under the point "Settings".

4. By clicking it the Settings app will open up and show you the...

Google Play Store: "Ratings are based on recent reviews from people in your region"

I'm not sure if this might already be common knowledge, but I was very surprised when I stumbled across this today.

Google Play Store app ratings vary depending on which country you're in!

Here's an example with a vitamin tracking app:

In the US Play Store the app has a rating of 3.8 stars. In the German Play Store it's only 2.8, and in the British Play Store it's even 4.5 stars. In the French Play Store, on the other hand, there is no rating at al...

My take on the fake moon from Samsung

Just wanted to add some stuff on this "hot" topic.

In short, I managed to obtain a moon by starting with something that isn't even a moon.

I just made a white circle in Photoshop and brushed it a little. Then I also rotated it and created artifacts that would never appear on the moon (through clone-stamp tool).

The picture VS the result

More details, including the files and a video of me producing the image: https://imgur.com/gallery/9uW1JNp

Just An Observation: Y2K38 Is Very Much A Problem With Phones That Are 32 Bit.

Firstly, What is Y2k38? Well it's a problem with 32 bit unix time counters that use a signed 32 Bit integer to count time, where it overflows after January 19th, 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC, normally reverting back to December 13th, 1901 at 20:45:52 UTC, this is due to it reaching the max value a signed 32 bit integer can be which is 2,147,483,647, to which it reverts back to its minimum value of -2,147,483,647 which in turn is December 13th, 1901 at 20:45:52 UTC.
