If you do "pip list --outdated" then it should show you which packages you have installed and that are out of date. Look out specifically for the packages that are mentioned in this error message: requests, urllib3, chardet, charset_normalizer.

You can then upgrade them by doing "pip install [package name here] --upgrade".

I find the first mistake here to be trying to use WordPress. Maybe it's just because I use it so much (or rather, as a developer, I'm often hired to fix other people's mess and broken code) but it is genuinely my most hated piece of software.

Are the latest updates installed on all involved devices? My immediate guess based on the information you've given is that it's likely a firewall or some other traffic inspection service that is - for unknown reasons - not liking the requests Tinder is making.

Do you consume much media? I ask because I used to be similar to you; I never used to be able to distinguish between 30fps vs 60fps but I find that the more media I consume, the more the difference becomes apparent to me.

Aside from that, one of the clearest videos I've seen the difference in is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-dOuBcxMlk - the commentary isn't very constructive in that video but I see a rather large difference between gameplay clips.

I'm from the UK and have tested this out. From what I see, you have to pay international rates to call UK numbers. I'm keeping it on my phone as a "just in case", but I definitely won't be using it on any regular basis.

I would say don't go too overboard. If it's done nicely, it can look pretty good & draw attention to products you'd like to support.

For example, on my Elitebook I have an OpenSUSE sticker & on the palm rest (next to the "Core i7" sticker) I have a GNU/Linux sticker.

I'm focused on Android apps in an amatur capacity, using Eclipse (soon switching to Android Studio). My laptop has a Core i3 M370 CPU, 8gb of RAM, integrated graphics, a 120gb Samsung SSD and runs Ubuntu.

This setup is more than sufficient for my needs, everything is smooth and very stable - I've never had any issues that I can recall.

The usefulness extends to mobile platforms as well. While (AFAIK) the Android SDK optimises images to some minor extent as default when building an APK, I still like to run the images through various tools to get the best result.

On one of my previous apps, this resulted in a filesize decrease of approximately 300 kilobytes - effectively halving my apps size with no noticeable difference to the end user. Win!

I used to run FreeBSD on my Toshiba Satellite C660-180 and encountered no issues. Everything seemed to work out of the box and performance was on par with version 3.2 of the Linux kernel.

I keep meaning to switch back to FreeBSD, actually. This alpha may prompt me to give it a shot.

21-year-old here and while I don't get into "the zone" very often, the times I do generally result in 10+ hours of solid work.

I find that music really helps, yet I'm not a fan of the shuffle function in music players. As a result, I guess you could say that I lose focus frequently but quickly regain it. My fussiness in regard to music is something that I need to work on in general.

I feel a worthy, yet absent, *BSD would also be DragonFlyBSD.

Exactly what the difference is between DragonFlyBSD and other BSDs I will leave for someone else to summarise in a more definitive way, however my take is that it is all-round more "modern".
