Teams camera not working on Mac
Martina Nikolova, 2 years ago 0 6 min read
Microsoft Teams is a popular business communication platform that has versions not only for Windows but also for Linux and Mac, so it's not uncommon for people with Linux or Mac computers to use it. For the most part, it works as intended, but there is a somewhat common issue that Mac users tend to experience with it where the camera won't work when the app is started. The usual reason for this problem is a conflict between the Teams app and the security and privacy settings of macOS. In other words, if you are experiencing this problem, it's likely that your macOS is set to not allow third-party apps to use the computer's camera. Since this is the default setting for Mac computers, it explains why it's not uncommon to experience this problem.
However, there could be other causes for the issue, such as temporary bugs, conflicts with other apps, outdated software, and more. Here, we will do our best to help our readers solve this problem by showing them the most effective ways of doing that.
Teams camera not working Mac fix
Solution 1: Give Microsoft Teams the necessary permission
Solution 2: Resolve conflicts with other apps
Solution 3: Update your software
Update macOS
Update Microsoft Teams
Solution 4: Use Terminal commands
Solution 5: Fix hardware problems
The main Teams camera not working fix is to give permission to the app to use the camera from the system settings. If this Teams camera now working fix doesn't help, then the problem is likely linked to a conflict between apps or outdated software.
As the name of the solution suggests, this tackles the most common cause for the problem, namely the default setting of macOS that prevents third-party software from using the machine's camera.
First, you need to go to the Apple Logo icon from the top.
From the drop-down menu, open System Preferences and go to Security and Privacy.
Find in the sidebar to the left the Camera icon and select it.
Now, in the right panel, find the icon of the Microsoft Teams entry and check it, so that it will now be allowed to use the camera. If you are unable to check Microsoft Teams, you may need to first click on the padlock icon in the bottom-left corner and then try again.
Note that this won't immediately enable the camera on Teams if the app is currently open. You must quit Teams and then start it again, and then the camera should be working as intended.
If you did the steps from above or Teams already had the needed permission, yet it is still unable to use the camera, there may be a conflict with another app that is causing the issue. If you have another app on your Mac that also needs to use the camera (for instance, Skype), it is highly likely that there's a conflict between the two apps and that the other app has "stolen" the camera and so Teams cannot use it. Usually, simply quitting the other app should be enough to resolve the issue. To be sure that the other app is no longer active, we suggest force-quitting it in the following way:
Select the Apple Logo menu and click on Force Quit.
Select the app you think may have taken over the camera.
Click on the Force Quit option in the bottom-right of the window.
If you've done everything up until now and Teams still can't use the camera, then you can try to prohibit the conflicting app from using the camera. To do this, go back to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Camera as we showed you above, find the conflicting app in the list to the right and untick its entry, so it no longer has the permission to use your Mac's camera.
Problems like this one are often caused by outdated software and/or conflicts between older and newer versions of the problematic app and the macOS. In either case, it is recommended to update both your Microsoft Teams app and your macOS to their latest versions. Normally, such updates should happen automatically, but sometimes it may take some time before the automatic update takes place, and so you may need to perform a manual update to fix problems resulting from the presence of outdated software.
To update macOS on your Mac, go to the Apple Logo menu, select System Preferences, and then click on Software Update.
In the next window, first look at the status of the Automatically keep my Mac up to date option – if it isn't checked, check it if you'd like new updates to be installed automatically.
In that window, you will see if there's an uninstalled update for your macOS and if there is, select the Update/Upgrade button.
Note: Many older Macs cannot officially support macOS Big Sur, so if you are using an older machine, you may not be able to install Big Sur the intended way (probably for the best, since Big Sur has higher system requirements than previous macOS versions). If, however, you think your machine is powerful enough to support it, you can learn how to install macOS Big Sur on an older Mac on this page.
Updating apps on Mac that you've downloaded from the Mac App Store is done through the Store:
Once again, open the Apple menu and select App Store.
Select the Updates section.
See if there are any updates for Microsoft Teams that are waiting to be installed and if there are, install them.
Users on Microsoft forums have come up with a possible solution that may work in some instances, though it involves using Terminal commands and is heavily dependent on a lot of factors (such as the current latest version of both Microsoft Teams and macOS). For that reason, it may already be outdated. Furthermore, it's advisable that users who aren't very experienced not try this method.
Still, we will put it here if anyone wants to give it a try. Note, however, that you'd be doing that at your own discretion.
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities.
Open the Terminal app.
Type the following commands in the Terminal exactly as they are shown, and hit Enter after each to execute them. The only change you should make to the command is the location of the Teams app if it is saved in a location on your Mac that's different from the one shown in the commands, the way they are written below.
xcode-select –install – execute this command only if Xcode isn't already installed on your Mac!
sudo codesign –remove-signature "/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app"
sudo codesign –remove-signature "/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/Microsoft Teams Helper.app"
sudo codesign –remove-signature "/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/Microsoft Teams Helper (GPU).app"
sudo codesign –remove-signature "/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/Microsoft Teams Helper (Plugin).app"
sudo codesign –remove-signature "/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/Microsoft Teams Helper (Renderer).app"
Of course, it's also possible that there's a problem with your camera. If your Mac hasn't been dropped, hit, or subjected to any other physical abuse, then it is unlikely that there's any hardware damage to its camera, yet, if none of the other solutions here have worked, then it's still a possibility.
Unfortunately, in such a case, you won't be able to do anything about it personally, and you'd have to take your Mac to a certified professional who is qualified to fix Mac computers and MacBooks.

Greater Deyerle is a Roanoke, Virginia neighborhood located in extreme southwest Roanoke. It borders the neighborhoods of Raleigh Court on the east, Cherry Hill on the north, the city of Salem on the west and Roanoke County on the south. Greater Deyerle is geographically the most western area of the city of Roanoke.

Annexed from Roanoke County in 1976 to connect to the city's water/sewer service, the neighborhood is predominantly residential with commercial developments located at its edges. Although the majority of its development has occurred post World War II, both the historic Belle Aire and Lone Oaks estates are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Because these two 19th century estates were constructed by Benjamin Deyerle, the neighborhood is named after him.

Jay Treaty Resolves Issues Between US And UK
On February 29, 1796, the Jay Treaty went into effect, resolving some lingering issues between America and Great Britain following the Revolutionary War.
While the Treaty of Paris helped end the Revolutionary War and settle some issues between the US and Great Britain, tensions still remained between the two nations. The three main issues were the influx of British exports in the US (while American exports were blocked by Britain's tariffs and trade restrictions), the British continued to occupy northern forts that they had agreed to abandon and the British capture of American sailors and ships bound for enemy ports.
In 1793, a war broke out between Britain and France. This war helped to widen the rift between Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, who had already been at odds over other issues. Hamilton wished to avoid international conflict and stay neutral. Jefferson thought that neutrality violated the 1778 alliance with King Louis XVI. Washington sided with Hamilton and signed a neutrality proclamation on April 22, 1793.
Although the United States remained neutral in the European conflict, relations with England gradually worsened. Not only had British troops refused to give up forts along the Mississippi River (in violation of the Treaty of 1783), they were causing Indian uprisings in the West. British warships were harassing American cargo vessels as well. To try to repair the wounded relations, Washington sent Chief Justice John Jay to England to work out a treaty.
In the treaty, the British agreed to evacuate forts in the Ohio River Valley, now part of the United States. The British Navy had also captured hundreds of American trading ships in the previous years and agreed to pay the ships' owners. In exchange, the US established a strong trading relationship with Great Britain, which led to ten years of peaceful trade.
The US also received "most favored nation" status. However, many issues were left unsettled, but both nations agreed to resolve them through arbitration. This was one of the first significant uses of arbitration in modern diplomatic history and would serve as an example for future negotiations. Jay and negotiators from England signed the Jay Treaty on November 19, 1794.
President Washington supported the agreement and sent it to Congress. There, the two political factions again disagreed on how to proceed. Hamilton's Federalists supported the treaty because it allowed for further trade with England. Jefferson's Democratic-Republicans disliked it because they felt that it would harm France. In the end, the treaty was ratified by a 2/3 vote in the Senate on June 24, 1795, in spite of strong opposition. The treaty officially went into effect on February 29, 1796.
The treaty was effective for 10 years, but negotiators failed to agree on a replacement treaty in 1806. Eventually, tensions arose once again, leading to the War of 1812.

The Liberty Series
Issued to replace the 1938 Presidential series, this patriotic set of stamps honors guardians of freedom throughout U.S. history. Eighteenth century America is represented by Revolutionary War heroes and statesmen such as Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton, Henry, Jay, and Revere.
Leaders of the 19th century including Monroe, Lincoln, Lee, Harrison, and Susan B. Anthony make an appearance. The 20th century is represented by Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and General Pershing.
The Liberty Series also features famous locations important to America's democratic history, such as Bunker Hill, Independence Hall, and the Alamo.
"Wet" versus "Dry" Printing
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing began an experiment in 1954. In previous "wet" printings, the paper had a moisture content of 15 to 35 percent. In the experimental "dry" printings, the paper had a moisture content of 5 to 10 percent. This process required stiffer, thicker paper, special inks, and greater pressure to force the paper through the plates.
Stamps produced by dry printing can be distinguished by whiter paper and higher surface sheen. The stamps feel thicker and the designs are more pronounced than on wet printings. So the dry printing experiment was a success, and all U.S. postage stamps have been printed by this method since the late 1950s.

The Kings have been surprisingly good this season, and Buddy Hield has had tremendous impact on their success.
Sacramento is 10-10 so far this year, and it looks like it will improve upon the 27-55 record it posted last season. Hield is still a 24-year-old, but he's helping lead the young core around him.
"I watched Kobe Bryant a lot. He made a big name for himself just making clutch buckets. … Every player wants that feeling, the crowd is cheering, I just want to be part of that, Hield told reporters after his team's recent victory over the Thunder, via The Ringer.
Hield matched second-year guard De'Aaron Fox with a team-leading 35 minutes against Oklahoma City. He also also led his team in scoring, pouring in 25 points. He's from the Bahamas, but played college ball at Oklahoma. He watched plenty of Thunder games when he was just an aspiring NBA player, but now he's in his fourth professional season.
Buddy was selected with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft by the Pelicans. He's known for being a high volume shooter that can score from anywhere on the floor, but his efficiency from deep sets him apart from his competition. Especially when you consider the degree of difficulty in his shot selection. It's clear that he grew up watching the likes of Kobe every time he steps on the court.
Things didn't pan out in New Orleans, so he was traded to Sacramento as a key piece in the deal that sent DeMarcus Cousins to the Pelicans to partner with Anthony Davis. The Kings' management was very high on Hield throughout college and entering the draft. They felt he had superstar potential, and it became clear that the organization's relationship with Cousins was crumbling.
After spending a season and a half as a reserve, Hield blossomed into a starter for the Kings. He shot 36.9 percent from deep with the Pelicans, but he hasn't shot lower than 40 percent from behind the arc since making the move to California. So far this season, he's shooting a career high 45.1 percent on 3-point attempts and leads the Kings in scoring with a mark of 18.8 points per game.
With Fox as his backcourt companion, Willie Cauley-Stein is enforcing the middle and Bogdan Bogdanovich is another lethal shooter on the wing. 2018 first-round pick Marvin Bagley III is getting has tremendous upside at the power forward position. Sacramento currently has the best 3-point shooting percentage as a team, just beating out the Warriors with a mark of 38.6 percent. With proper development, Sacramento could prove to be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years.
Hield is an integral part of this young squad, and he won't be flying under the radar for much longer.

Some of the places we like to visit:
Mana Pools Game Reserve – A game reserve in the extreme North of Zimbabwe on the Zambezi river and bordering Zambia. Dominated by huge trees. During the rains, most of the big game animals move away from the river and into the escarpment. They start returning to the riverine areas from around April, as the pans in the bush dry up. As the year progresses, increasingly large herds of elephants and buffalos are seen, as well as kudu, eland, waterbuck, zebra, impala and many other antelope.The game is very relaxed about people on foot, making Manapools one of Africa's best national parks for walking safaris
The Park is at the Centre of a network of protected areas in Zimbabwe which stretch from Kariba to the Mozambique border. Manapools is located in Mashonaland West Province and falls under the ambit of the Hurungwe Rural District Council for higher level administrative purposes. There are over 20 000 km² of wildlife protected land in the vicinity of Manapools. It is in the Middle Zambezi Valley covering an area of 2196 square kilometers (848 square miles) extending from the Zambezi River in the north to the escarpment in the south. A timeless wilderness considered by many to be the Jewel of Zimbabwe and a Treasure for Africa.
Hwange Natonal Park : Named after a local Nhanzwa chief, Hwange National Park is the largest Park in Zimbabwe occupying roughly 14 650 square kilometers. It is located in the northwest corner of the country about one hour south of the Mighty Victoria Falls.
It became the royal hunting grounds to the Ndebele warrior-king Mzilikazi in the early 19 th Century and was set aside as a National Park in 1929. Hwange boasts a tremendous selection of wildlife with over 100 species of mammals and nearly 400 bird species recorded. The elephants of Hwange are world famous and the Park's elephant population is one of the largest in the world. The Park has three distinctive Camps and administrative offices at Robins, Sinamatella and the largest one at Main Camp.
Great Zimbabwe Ruins : The Great Zimbabwe ruins are the largest collection of ruins in Africa south of the Sahara.
Located in the heart of southern Africa, between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers, they are testament to a culture of great wealth and great architectural skill.
Built between the 11th and 15th centuries, Great Zimbabwe was home to a cattle-herding people who also became adept at metal-working. The ruins are the largest of their kind on the Zimbabwe Plateau, but they are by no means unique.
Other, smaller sites were ransacked by European treasure-hunters in the 19th century. These smaller ruins are called zimbabwes and can be found as far as Mozambique.
The granite walls – embellished with turrets, towers, platforms and elegantly sculpted stairways – seem to have had no defensive function. But, in the words of archeologist Peter Garlake, they display "an architecture that is unparalleled elsewhere in Africa or beyond."
Although inexpertly restored in many places, the ruins at Great Zimbabwe are still by a good margin the most impressive ancient structures in sub-Saharan Africa. They are also the source of considerable pride for present-day Zimbabweans. After all, the huge chiseled walls of the Great Enclosure, with its soaring stone tower and complex chevron patterns, are a work of high engineering skill.
Much about Great Zimbabwe is still a mystery, owing in large measure to frenzied plundering of the site around 1902, but it can be stated with certainty that the Queen of Sheba never drew breath here. Instead, at any given time during Great Zimbabwe's heyday, anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 black Africans did.
By the thirteenth century, they dwelt at the epicenter of an industrious southern African empire, with trading links stretching as far away as India, Persia and China.
In a small museum that stands near the site nowadays, you can inspect shards of Persian pottery, a Chinese writing set and brass ornaments from Assam in India, all unearthed amid or near the ruins and all extremely old.
Outside the splendid stone buildings, however, the mass of people lived in conditions resembling a modern slum. By the 16th century, when the Portuguese arrived in southern Africa, Great Zimbabwe had fallen into obscurity. No one is certain why.
Gonarezhou National Park is situated in the south eastern lowveld of Zimbabwe and covers an area in excess of 5 000 square kilometres. "Gonarezhou" meaning "Place of many Elephants" is an extremely scenic Park full of rugged and beautiful landscapes.
Alternative folklore suggests the are was named for the herbalists who would stock their medicines in tusks (known as gona in the Shona language).
Three major rivers – The Save, Runde and Mwenezi – cut their courses through the Park, forming pools and natural oases from which hundreds of species of birds, wildlife and fish gather to feed and drink. As its name implies, Gonarezhou is famous for its elephants, and many of the largest-tusked elephants in the region maybe found within the Park
Matusadona National Park is situated on the shores of Lake Kariba but was proclaimed a non-hunting area on 7 November 1958 before the dam was built.
It became a Game Reserve in 1963, and in 1975, in terms of the Parks & Wildlife Act, it became a National Park. The Park comprises some 1 400 square kilometers of diverse flora and fauna. Before the lake was built, Matusadonha was a vast, rugged wilderness with limited access.
With the lake came ecological changes. One in particular, the lakeshore contributed greatly to the increase of large mammal populations in the area, especially elephant and buffalo. The grass found on the shoreline is Panicum repens and is a rejuvenative grass – needing only fluctuating lake levels to replenish its nutrients. With this ready food source, buffalo, waterbuck, zebra, and even impala have thrived and with them the predators. Matusadonha is an Intensive Protection Zone (IPZ) and home to several relocated rhinoceros.
Victoria Falls and Zambezi National Parks are situated on the western tip of Zimbabwe. The Falls, known by the local Kololo tribe as Mosi oa Tunya- The Smoke that thunders, is one of the "Seven Wonders of the World" and one of the largest and most spectacular waterfalls on earth.
Matobo Park . The park of international acclaim occupies a total area of 44 500 hectares . Established in 1953, the park was awarded World Heritage Status in June 2003. The park is an Intensive Protection Zone for endangered black and white rhinocerous. The park offers a diverse package of tourist attractions and activities.
The park is rich in cultural history which is resembled in numerous cultural and historical sites. The park is located 34 kilometres south of Bulawayo along the Kezi / Maphisa road. The main road to Maleme is tarred while all other park roads are gravel and mostly in good condition.
The park is well known for its unique balancing rock features with the popular "mother and child" balancing rocks.
Lake Kariba is the world's largest man-made lake and reservoir by volume. It lies 1,300 kilometres upstream from the Indian Ocean, along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe

Q: Using values from an array for a boxplot I'm working on a practice problem for Python which requires that I find the min, max and median of an array and than use these values in construction of a box plot. I'm using the array "valid_opening_duration_list" and wanting to convert that into a form that I can use for my boxplot but I'm having some issues.
import statistics
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

print("Maximum Opening Duration is", max(valid_opening_duration_list))
print("Minimun Opening Duration is", min(valid_opening_duration_list))
print('The Median Opening Duration is', statistics.median(valid_opening_duration_list))

scores = valid_opening_duration_list(loc=5, size=100)

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(7, 5))
ax.boxplot(scores, 0, labels=['Prac test'])
ax.set_ylabel('Scores', fontsize=16)
ax.set_title('Score BoxPlot', fontsize=16)

The program is telling me that its unable to call the object. Is there any way I can fix this?
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-198-a2257e98b110> in <module>()
     11 print('The Median Opening Duration is', statistics.median(valid_opening_duration_list))
     12
---> 13 scores = valid_opening_duration_list(loc=5, size=100)
     14
     15 fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(7, 5))

TypeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object is not callable

A: You're getting that error because you are trying to call your numpy array as a function.
Since you are trying to copy the contents of valid_opening_duration_list to scores. You want to use the numpy.copy function.
change line 13 to
scores = np.copy(valid_opening_duration_list)

this will copy the contents of valid_opening_duration_list to scores.

When I started to automate my home late 2009, I foremost wanted to be able to control my city heating in a comfortable and scheduled manner on a room by room basis.
Budget was (and still is) an important concern and after some investigation I stumbled upon a system made by the German manufacturer ELV (based of the FS20 system). With this system each room has its own thermostat which subsequently controls the radiators in that room. The system was wireless and inexpensive so I decided to invest in it to set a first step on the (never ending as it seems) home automation path.
I wrote some windows services (in .NET) to control the system, and used google calendar to schedule the temperature in each room. There was need for a google calendar, opposed to the standard schedule present in the system, because I needed a schedule that lasted more than a week because every other week I stayed at my girlfriend's place and the heating in my house could be turned off (well set to 15 degrees Celsius) then.
The system operated reasonably well for several years but had its quirks. Because it was wireless and not entirely bidirectional, one could never be sure if temperatures were actually set at the correct level. My software (obviously) took care of that through some sort of polling mechanism. But once in a while the system decided that is was overflowed and went dead for hours or sometimes even more than a day.
I could live with it reasonably well, but more recently the quirks seemed to increase in frequency and exceeded my irritation threshold.
So I decided to look for a new system. But this time it should definitely be bidirectional and still wireless (did not want to put wires to all my radiators and thermostats).
Communication through UTP instead of USB so the device could run independent of other hardware/servers.
Based on this list, and again the budget as a primary concern, I decided to try the Max! system from manufacturer eQ-3. One could say it is sort of the successor of my current system and this time bidirectional controlled and still inexpensive.
Because I already used some ZWave devices with an Aeon Labs USB stick, I decided to give that an upgrade too. Mainly because I wanted to get rid of the USB device in my server (which prohibits me from installing Windows 2012 Hyper-V Server because that does not support USB devices, well not easily anyway) and also wanted a chance (and excuse :P) to play around with a Raspberry PI, I bought a Raspberry PI type B (with 512MB RAM) computer together with the Razberry daughter board which enables ZWave on the Raspberry.
Since I am a .NET man myself, I wanted to use .NET on the Raspberry to control the Razberry. So there is where the MONO runtime comes into the picture. But installing that on a Raspberry is an entirely different kind of challenge on which I probably will post in a separate post.
On the architectural side of things, I wanted more flexibility in my system to glue different components or even systems together. I found some interesting posts about using the MQTT message protocol for Home Automation and decided to use that in the new system. I also looked on the net for existing systems which I could use or partly reuse, but they either seem to be written in 'unwanted' languages like python, perl, basic, java, jscript or they do not use a flexible communication protocol like MQTT.
With MQTT, and Mosquito as the message broker, I could write gateways for the Razberry and Max! which would translate the functions on the devices to a device and hardware independent communication protocol.
A gateway to the Max! system. This gateway would receive and send MQTT messages and translate them to functions on the Max! system.
A gateway to the Razberry. This gateway would receive and send MQTT messages and translate them to ZWave functions on the Razberry.
A calendar publisher component, which reads a google calendar and publishes scheduled events as MQTT messages.
A Heating/Thermostat controller component, who receives MQTT calendar messages and send corresponding MQTT messages to the thermostats.
This system would be flexible and easy to enhance. The plan is to use .NET on the Raspberry to create all of the above components so the entire Home Automation system can run on the Raspberry. This will include Mosquito as an MQTT message broker and probably MySQL for the storage of data.
At the moment I have bought some hardware (both Max! and Razberry) and investigating the further possibilities. I intend to publish my software as open source so others can use (part of) it if they want to. Since the communication protocol will be based on MQTT messages, it is easy to expand the system with gateways for other hardware and modules to control other things. Like for instance a module which would publish dawn/dusk events as MQTT messages so they can be used (in another controller) to turn on/off some lights in the house.
I guess this will be a work in progress for the oncoming months and I hope to reflect the progress of my new Home Automation System in posts to come!


Samsung reportedly to show off first 4K OLED notebooks.
The CES 2019 could the stage for the world's first 4K OLED laptops. A report out of Korea, spotted by Gizchina, says that Samsung has developed 4K OLED displays for the use in notebooks.
According to the report, Samsung will show off 4K OLED laptops with 13.3 inches, 14 inches, and 15.6 inches. Samsung is supposed to sell its new panels to Dell and HP. We might see also 4K OLED laptops by other manufacturers using Samsung Display's technology.
OLED technology delivers bright colors and deep contrasts with low power usage. Cost apparently has come down enough that 4K OLED displays in premium laptops make sense.

Samsung's Galaxy A14 Offers 5G for Less
Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy A14 5G, its most affordable 5G phone to date. The new phone shares most specs with its predecessor, the Galaxy A13 5G. The biggest upgrade is the front camera, which goes from 5 megapixel to 13 megapixel. The display is also slightly larger at 6.6 inches. Other features remain the same, including a 50 megapixel main camera, 5,000 mAh battery, and a fingerprint reader. Cricket's price is $190, while AT&T is offering the phone for $2/month over 36 months (to both new and existing customers, no trade-in required. Both brands will start selling the phone on January 13th.
Cheaper Samsung Galaxy A13 Launches on AT&T Without 5G
While AT&T (and Cricket) already offers the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G, the company has confusingly just launched a very different model called the "Samsung Galaxy A13" (no 5G). Besides lacking 5G, most of the specs are also different, including the display, cameras, processor, RAM, and storage.
AT&T Starts Selling the $300 Samsung Galaxy A23 5G
Another affordable 5G phone from Samsung has launched in the US. AT&T has started online sales of the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G for $300, in both postpaid and prepaid channels.

Futurology ~ 83 Black Holes, space superbugs, invisibility, blue wake-up, animal magnetism, Irish dirt
23rd Mar 2019 Mark Webster
Bacteria in some Irish dirt killed four of the top six organisms that are resistant to antibiotics, including MRSA
Loads of 'new' super-massive Black Holes — A team of international astronomers has been hunting for ancient, supermassive black holes and discovered 83 previously unknown quasars.
~ OK, just try not to upset them.
New tools against superbugs in space — For years, scientists have sounded the alarm about a potential nightmare for astronauts on the International Space Station: antibiotic-resistant superbugs that could be even more dangerous in space than they are on Earth. This week, research say they've found a way to better prevent such hardy bacteria from growing on surfaces of the ISS.
The magical property is called AGXX, a mix of silver and ruthenium. Its developers claim AGXX can more effectively kill off bacteria and other microbes like fungi than conventional silver, while having a lower risk of depositing silver in the environment. The chemical makeup of AGXX even allows the coating to self-regenerate, ensuring that its effects last longer.
~ Did you think the secret was Janola? Or magical Irish dirt? (See below.)
Kevlar invisibility cloak — Chinese researchers fabricated an aerogel film made of DuPont Kevlar fibres. By itself, the aerogel turned out to be a good thermal insulator, but the researchers enhanced its capabilities by coating its fibres with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and a protective waterproof layer.
~ It's actually invisible to heat detectors rather than eye sight.
Wake-up blue — A team of scientists in South Korea has demonstrated that blue-enriched light can effectively help people overcome morning drowsiness.
~ Seems obvious to me: if you shouldn't have blue light at night coz it keeps you awake, then …
Humans feel the magnetic field — A new study from researchers at the California Institute of Technology suggests that humans can sense the Earth's magnetic field, although the strength of the response varied hugely among participants.
~ ItAnimal magnetism, indeed.
Magical Irish dirt kills bacteria — Old timers insisted that the dirt in the vicinity of a nearly 1500-year-old church in County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland, an area once occupied by the Druids, had almost miraculous curative powers. So microbiologist Gerry Quinn and his team decided to focus on the Irish soil, they narrowed their search to a specific type of bacteria, called Streptomyces, because other strains of this bacteria have led to the development of 75% of existing antibiotics.
~ This is important as in the United States at least 23,000 people die every year from an antibiotic resistant infection.

Futurology ~ sharper radar, alien-hunting 'scope, 3D printing food, baby-brained computer, third arm, bio-powered chips, morphing tank, invisibility
Researchers have invented a third arm for drummers … as if they're not noisy enough already.
Chip will make satellite radars way sharper — A new silicon chip is the centrepiece of a new 94GHz radar system being developed by the European Space Agency, that will transform radar systems in space missions. Being developed in Ireland by a company called Arrakis, its high resolution will, according to the Agency, make planetary landings far safer, as it will allow craft to image smaller obstacles on landing zones than current systems allow.
~ More accurate landings should result.
The biggest alien-hunting radio telescope on Earth comes at a human cost — China is displacing over 9000 people to do it. The 500-metre-wide telescope is called FAST (Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope), and it's almost double the size as the next biggest radio telescope, a similarly shaped contraption in Puerto Rico. Its 460,000 reflective mirrors will reflect radio signals emitted by the universe onto a 30-ton antenna, which could help us unlock all kinds of galactic secrets. (China displaced 300,000 residents to clear the way for the Three Gorges Dam.)
~ But it won't solve Chinese pollution or traffic.
NASA gets kids 3-D printing food — In collaboration with the American Society for Mechanical Engineers Foundation and Star Trek, NASA launched the Star Trek Replicator Challenge this week at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York. The initiative calls on students to design 3-D printable hardware needed to grow food and eat well in space. The space agency is working hard to figure out how astronauts can use technology to produce their own food and eat a more diversified, less shrink-wrapped diet overall.
~ Now, what shape and colour shall we make this nutritious space slop?
Baby-brained computing — Can artificial intelligence evolve as human baby does, learning about the world by seeing and interacting with its surroundings? That's one of the questions driving a huge cognitive psychology experiment that has revealed crucial differences in how humans and computers see images.
~ Hopefully the results won't then just learn what a-holes humans are.
Paper replicates skin — A Saudi Arabian research team has used cheap household items to make a 'paper skin' that mimics many sensory functions of human skin.
The artificial skin may represent the first single sensing platform capable of simultaneously measuring pressure, touch, proximity, temperature, humidity, flow, and pH levels.
~ Then cover it with a hijab?
Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a wearable robotic limb that transforms drummers into three-armed cyborgs — The most remarkable thing about this wearable arm, developed at GT's Center for Music Technology, is that it's doing a lot more than just mirroring the movements of the drummer. It's a 'smart arm' that's actually responding to the music, and performing in a way that compliments what the human player is doing.
~ That's all very well, but I just want to be able to read the newspaper while eating a sandwich.
Bio-powered chips to fit inside cells — For the first time, researchers have developed a microchip powered by the same energy-rich molecules that fuel living cells. This advance could one day lead to devices that are implanted within cells while harvesting biological energy to operate.
~ The idea is making me hungry.
Morphin' tank — Estonian defence company Milrem has developed a seriously cool military robot that is totally modular, so it can easily morph from an unmanned combat unit, to a humanless firefighter, to a makeshift medi-vac. The robot is called THeMIS (Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry System). It's 2m wide, nearly 90cm tall, and it can do over 32km per hour.
~ Can it morph into an ice-cream truck? No!
Mesh cloak invisible to radio — A team of US and Chinese researchers has created the first practical 'invisible' material that allows certain electromagnetic signals to pass unimpeded as they would through air. It represents a huge leap for real science. Previously, researchers could only make a single tiny sphere or cylinder invisible to certain electromagnetic wavelengths by taking advantage of a phenomenon called 'dark state.'
~ It allows Justin Bieber songs pass right through you without making any impression.
Wait, they already do that!

Has it ever happened?

June 26, 2004 in Sports In General
That 18 inning funfest between the Rangers and Mariners the other day got me thinking... has a team ever run out of players to use in a game (not incl. the 2002 all-star game).
I'm sure there have been instances in which there are no bench players left, or noone in the bullpen... has there ever been a case in which a player was injured during this situation?
And if so... what happened?
Similar question for goaltenders in hockey... has a starter, then the backup both been injured in the same game? We all know about the incident with the Rangers in the stanley cup several decades ago, but has it happened since?
I know teams have run out of pitchers before. I believe Wade Boggs once pitched an inning because of this. There have been other occassions of this, as well. Just can't remember any.
Can't think of a team running out of ANY bench players what so ever

I remember an instance in the CFL Western semi final in 1979,
BC vs Calgary, Joe Paopao started for the Lions, but was hurt and backup Mike Nott came in, then he got hurt too, since Nott was injured worse than Paopao, Paopao went back in, and the Stamps rolled to an easy 37-2 victory.
This year, Dafoe was hurt and left the game, then Nurminen got in a fight and was kicked out. They played the last few minutes with no goalie. I think it was against the Oilers.

I think Jose Canseco had to pitch once. Blew out his elbow...
I also remember a certain Shane Spencer playing all nine positions in a Rangers' game. I don't think it was because Texas ran out of players, though.
Happened to my team in a baseball tournament one time.... we were in the 16th inning (i think) and our pitcher got hit in the face by a batted ball. He sat on foul territory, while our right fielder pitched the rest fo the inning. We batted, then, when it was time to come back out, he played right field with ice on his eye, till he could opwen his eye again.
basically, it was kile soccer... he just sat off to the side till he felt better. We won that game on a solo HR in the top of the inning.
So, there you go.

anyone remember when the Redskins ran out of QBs against the Eagles, i think? and Brian Mitchell had to play QB.
we ran out of QBs the first game when i played the guy who was our QB/safety blew his arm out, and switched to HB. unfortunately, his backup had never played the position before needless to say, this was a major reason for us going 0-9-we couldn't pass cus this kid was greener than our uniforms, and we couldn't run cus everybody knew we couldn't pass...and we couldn't stop anybody cus the offense kept screwin us defense guys over
That was be interesting to see what would happen if there were no bench players left...
Ahh... that reminds me -- The Florida State Seminoles had to play Anquan Boldin at QB in the Sugar Bowl two or three years back because Chris Rix was suspended for academic reasons, Adrian McPherson was kicked off the team for stealing a check or something like that, and there back up Qb as playing badly.
So they put out Anquan Boldin, who had played QB in High School or something like that and he did pretty good for a WR.
one game the jets lost both quarterbacks got injured i think this was two years ago and then the punter tom tupa played qb for the rest of the game.
Stop that
I remember 2 years ago i think Osbaldison got hurt so the ti-cats had to scramble for a kicker and a punter the one game... i think morreale took over the punting duties that game....
High school roller hockey game in May. Our starting goalie had a family emergency to attend to, so our backup had to play the whole game. About halfway through the second half, he started to feel the effects of dehydration. We had to call our timeout cause he was dry-heaving, but he wouldn't leave the game. We finished regular time tied 5-5 and had to go into OT. By now our goalie was sick as hell, so we had three options: forfeit the game, play OT without a goalie, or strip the pads off our goalie and put them on a skater. We put the pads on him in record time and started OT. He made probably one of the best blocker saves I've ever seen, then let up the next shot he faced. So we lost, but it was still great fun. Helped bring the team together a lot more.
You're Khilling me, Smalls.

That was funny to me I was trhat and was balling. Note to self: if the team doesn't have a 3rd goalie and the starter got injured, don't get into a fight
Academic meaning he had a family crisis, stayed on the phone all night and slept lat and missed an exam.
I've heard stories about a baseball game in which a 1st base coach was put into the game because there were no players left... anyone else hear about this?
noone?

I remember Sterling Sharpe took some snaps for the Packers in a game, but he only threw one pass before Brett took over again. I don't think they were out of QB's though.
I don't know if that's possible...I think a player has to be on the 25-man roster to be able to be used in a game, so unless the team was able to make room on its roster and sign the coach to play in the time needed, I don't think it's very likely.
Then again, I'm kinda working off the top of my head and I could be wrong...it wouldn't be the first time
Regardless. It was still 'academic reasons'. A family crisis doesn't mean you get to bend the rules regarding academics. He knew the rules, and he let his team down.

I was in attendance in 2003 at a NWFA (National Womens Football Association) game between the Nashville Dream and the Atlanta Leopards when the Leopards showed up with only 9 players in uniform ready to play.To the Leopards' credit,they chose to go ahead and play the game with their numbers-short roster instead of forfeiting (and it got worse,as one of the Leopards was injured in the second quarter,leaving them playing 8 against 11). As you might expect,the Dream won 52-0. I am a fan of the Nashville Dream, but I left the game as an admirer of the Leopards'courage and class. Sometimes, being a winner isn't about the scoreboard.

Reparations for sexual and reproductive violence: Prospects for achieving gender justice in Guatemala and Peru.
Source: (2008) The International Journal of Transitional Justice. 2(2): 192–213.
Sexual and reproductive violence (SRV) perpetrated against women during war or under authoritarian regimes is one of the most severe manifestations of gender-based violence. The authors ask how governments in new or reforming democracies hope to repair SRV and how state programs for reparation might be conceptualized and delivered. By examining the cases of Guatemala and Peru, they explore the problematic of repairing damage caused by SRV and comment on prospects for redress to victims in each country. (Authors Abstract).

#KodeNow: Machine Gun Kelly

Kode: So, your whole trajectory of becoming MGK. Cleveland obviously isn't necessarily known for its musical diversity, yet your music has different influences. What inspired your musical style and aesthetic as a young artist?
MGK: I think that when you come from a town like Cleveland there's this automatic edge and attitude that's kind of instilled in you, 'cause…I think not just to make it out but to just even survive in this town you have to have a certain edge about you and a certain attitude to keep you alive here, I guess. So, I think I was just really gravitating toward any artist or band that had attitude and that really stood up … not just stood for something, but stood up for themselves. And I think when you get in the public eye you can easily be bullied and easily be told who you are or what you should do and who you aren't… I was just really into the people that didn't let anyone tell them anything.
Kode: Being in the public eye and being bullied and things like that, with rap music being predominantly a black genre, do you feel like you faced certain struggles being a white artist, and how did you overcome that?
MGK: Absolutely. And I was having to be a white rapper before there was leaders of like YouTube or viral videos, you know what I'm saying? I've had to really go out there and show them what I was about. Go out there and at the time, when I was first coming out… Like, I don't know how to describe it. There wasn't like families just embracing hip hop, you know what I mean?
Kode: Yes. It wasn't as mainstream.
MGK: Yeah, the streets was what the breeding ground for hip hop truly was. So nowadays, yes. In the past three years we've seen hip hop become the most popular form of music, which then means that most households like it, love it, embrace it. When I was coming up, the streets were the only breeding ground for hip hop, so if you wanted to be in hip hop, you know where you had to go? The streets. When you're in the streets and you look like me you're gonna have a lot of resistance. There's a lot of adversity to fight through, so I think that the respect that I have now is there because of that. I had to constantly add stripes to the uniform before I was respected as who I am now.
Kode: With bloom and your recent releases they all seem to have a lot of emotional connectivity to it. What do you feel like you really want people to take away from your music?
MGK: Probably the feel. You see all these people numbing themselves now, and I've been guilty of numbing myself too, but I think when the music started to turn towards numbing people it was just weird for me because music always made me FEEL and I think bloom came at a time where a lot of the music is not-feel music and it's just numbing music, It's a music that's kind of meant to keep you spaced out and not really facing the realities of the world and wishes, pain, happiness. Those are real things that you have to deal with, and you can't fake like you don't have to. So, I think that when bloom came out, and you listened to it, it reminded you of those feelings and reminds you to be open to those feelings.
Kode: And I mean, obviously as a young father you are open to more emotions as I'm sure that opened up a lot of more feelings for you. What are some obstacles of being a father at such a young age while having also such a successful career?
MGK: I think because my kid's so intelligent at her age you can't fool her, and I think that if she feels like more effort is going into me as an artist rather than me as a father, you can see that and feel that and those are all lessons I've learned the hard way the past couple years and I think I'm just really proud and at a good point right now that I feel like I have a best friend in my kid, She kind of reminds me how to stay human and not numb that part out, like we were just talking about. The album did that. I feel like, for this young generation, but she did that for me.
Kode: So you've been obviously topping the charts for years now. What's the ride to success really been like for you, coming from such a small town? What do you feel has kind of changed the most in your life and what have you tried to keep the most the same?
MGK: Maybe even just from a demographic standpoint, on this latest tour I went to I was just shocked at the amount of women that come to the shows just wanting to sing their hearts out. You know what I mean? Like three albums later, this many years into my career, what a beautiful thing it is to walk out on stage and just see this whole new wave of energy that's coming from the crowd. I feel like I've toured the world three fucking times, and I hadn't seen that crowd yet, and it's my first time just seeing it. And it's like, dude, wow. And then you play a set and then you realize … bloom was the first album I ever sang on, and then you do it live and you're wondering, "What are they waiting for?" And then you sing, and they're like … They just wanted to sing all fucking night, and it was like, whoa…
That was really a shock for me, 'cause I think a lot of people seem to say that they grow older. And I mean, I'm still really young because I came in the game young, so even though it seems like I've been around for a while I'm still young. So it's cool that it feels like I'm getting better with time.
Kode: Definitely.
MGK: I don't really know if that made sense, haha, but I think you know what I'm trying to say.
Kode: No, it makes complete sense.
MGK: I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's been really cool seeing so many diverse people at my shows and tapping into this whole new fanbase. I think sometimes you can take perceptions of who I was as a young artist, and I think maybe it wasn't connecting with a young female demographic, and then you grow, and then you go through things, and then you fall in love for the first time, and then you start to see people in such a different light, and you write about it, and then it's like it clicks. All of a sudden all of the women were like, "Wow, this is what I've wanted you to say. This is speaking to me."
Kode: Now, you're not only an artist but you're also an actor. You have shows like Roadies, you had the movie Nerve and other things coming up. With all these projects, what made you start acting?
MGK: I am just in love with the idea of just being an entertainer and just being an all-around creative person… I could not tell you how much I hated the first couple of years of my career just literally being referred to as the Wild Boy. You know? Like it was just so underwhelming as a sum-up of my career at that point.
Kode: Yeah, to feel one-dimensional.
MGK: That's it! You know what I mean? And there was so much more. Even at that time there was so much more, but I can't blame the world for what they saw at surface value. So I was like, "Okay, we need to branch out and show the world how deep the rabbit hole goes in this person that is Machine Gun Kelly," and I think that going on screen was one step. I think modeling and embracing fashion was another step, especially coming from someone like me who was almost like anti-fashion just a couple years ago.
And again, you just get exposed to other things and you embrace how big the spectrum goes when people start coming up to you after you have those accomplishments, and now it seems like people that come up to me are truly in shock of me as a creative rather than just as me as a guy known for his wild antics.
But now, looking back now, to come from being the Wild Boy to being this cultured young man who is responsible for certain trends and styles and genre-meshing of music and stuff, it's like that's the coolest come-up story ever. So now I love it, and I will embrace the Wild Boy in me forever. I just didn't like it at the time because that was all they were attributing to me.
Kode: Speaking of your growth and you becoming more cultured of a young man and a true artist, your style has obviously increased and improved so much over the years.
MGK: Yeah. Absolutely.
Kode: What can you kind of attribute to bringing you out of your box of one fashion to the other?
MGK: Part of the death of Bowie and the death of Prince. I never saw the world stop over losing someone before … Except for Michael Jackson. I was a lot younger when Michael Jackson died, but I remember that and I remember that feeling, but it didn't hit me that way that when Prince and Bowie died because I was actually in the industry at that time that they died. I was just a broke kid in Cleveland when Mike died, and I was like, "Whoa, no, one of the greatest musicians has passed," but it didn't affect me as a person. It just affected me as a fan, but when Prince and Bowie died it did hit me as a person. I felt like the world is now a little bit emptier and I think that I was looking around and I was like, "Dude, who's gonna be here to push us, push our opinions and push the boundaries?" You know what I mean? There are many artists now that are pushing the boundaries, and I think I just want to join that club as well, and I'm trying to. I guess… I'm trying to carry on a legacy that I didn't appreciate while it was here.
And now that it's gone and we've been doing all this to revamp an image like what mine was and have it be what it is now, it's also a really huge challenge, which turns me on because the easy shit is wack and I think the stuff that makes people feel uncomfortable is really, really cool. And when they finally get it, that's the most satisfying feeling ever, and I think people are starting to finally get it. I don't think a lot of people got it until Prince and Bowie died, with them, and I think that that made me realize it more as well.
Kode: I agree. I definitely think when Prince and Bowie and those major trailblazing artists and fashion and cultural influences died, there was a slight shift in the DNA of a lot of artists.
MGK: Yeah. I don't think we realize how much they did until they were gone and it was like, "Okay, they had the right idea." And I feel like it made a lot of us go back and change our game plans for what we wanted to do with our careers, and it pushed us to expand and become broader than just music.
Kode: Speaking of broadening on more than just music, you recently inked campaigns with John Varvatos that launches August 6th and Reebok that launches today August 3rd. What can we expect out of those partnerships and collaborations?
MGK: Well, me and Varvatos are just two rock and roll souls that I feel like was bound to come together and we have and it's been a really cool collaboration that I am very proud of. We recently shot a couple really cool ad campaign videos, and the billboards that'll be going up in all the Varvatos stores and around the world by mid-September. We are putting together a lunch event in New York that is gonna be really, really, really fucking cool, and definitely a cool image for our name.
And then the Reebok thing, I think we were always looking to kind of do lifestyle stuff, because I think even with all the high fashion, I don't wanna alienate all the people that that type of shit doesn't turn on. You know what I mean? Like Some people don't like high fashion and it will never be their cup of tea, and I would never ever want to push that on people because I think that is something you have to naturally want to either wear or look at or be around. That's definitely a particular taste. But, lifestyle shit is everywhere and Reebok is such a classic brand and I think that we wanted to be a part of a revamp of something special, and Reebok was the perfect match, and that's because one of my favorite things to do is take something that is not at that moment in the world the biggest thing and make it the biggest thing… Like Machine Gun Kelly is that…haha… Naw really, it's going to be a cool collaboration, a total revamp of the 90's and all about owning your style, taking risks and being unapologetic about who you are – values that are close to the roots of what Machine Gun Kelly stands for with my music and style…
You ask the cool crowd right now, "Who do you listen to?" They're gonna give you those names that are just like, "Duh." But if you're fucking awesome and you want to push the boundaries and you want to start some conversation, you might fuck around and say, "Yo, Machine Gun Kelly."
Kode: You recently had hits with Camila Cabello, Ty Dolla Sign, Quavo, Hailee Steinfeld and a few more. What's been your experience creating with such a talented young crop of artists and really cultivating that kind of experience?
MGK: It just feels really cool to be open to collaborating with people. I know that it's weird because if you look at my album it seems like I've collaborated with a lot of fucking people, but it was just different this time. This time it was really a true collaborative experience. And going traveling the world with Camila and performing at all those award shows, that was something really cool, and I always see people refer to that time as the "Bad Things" era, and it really is like an era. Yeah, I don't know, it's a time in my life that I'll never forget and it almost made me feel like I was in fucking high school again or something, you know? It's a really relieving time and something really cool for our generation of kids. Like if you're 15, 16, and "Bad Things" was like your summer song for your crush or your girlfriend at the time, that shit is an honor, to be the voice of that moment. Because I think there was certain songs and collaborations that happened when I was growing up that I always looked at and was like, "Wow," and I think we gave that to people. You know, just speaking on me and Camila specifically.
Kode: Yeah, definitely.
MGK: And we also were both breaking out at the same time, so that was why I just particularly love that collaboration because there wasn't one person more established than the other. It was very, "What are these two new people gonna do?" And we took it to the top. And that was an accomplishment.
Kode: So what would you say, if you could pick one track on bloom that you feel is your favorite or the most comprehensive or the one that really speaks to you the most, what one would it be?
MGK: I think "27" is that song for me.
Kode: And why is that?
MGK: I think, one, a lot of people thought it was like a suicide note when really it was just a song that was expressing that with everything that we've been through for all of this to finally start happening, meaning like three albums later for things to finally start feeling like they're happening, really going our way, it just seemed like it was too good to be true, you know? And I turned 27 this year, and there's the obvious notion of the 27 Club, which is all these iconic and huge voices and artists died at 27, and I think that with the way that I lived my life and the fast pace and the kind of big not-giving-a-fuck attitude I have, a lot of people questioned like, "Well, if you're going that fast, are you gonna crash eventually?" And that question just made me write that song, 'cause sometimes you're wondering like, "Damn, is this all too good to be true?" I've waited for this moment forever and it's finally happening. I never thought it would happen at this moment. I thought it was gonna happen years ago, and it's finally happening now. Is this even supposed to happen? Like this is all too good to be true.
And you know, I put those words down on paper and I recorded the song, and I had this suite in Las Vegas that I blasted that song while I was standing on the balcony looking at the whole city of Vegas while the sun was coming up. And you would associate that with being a sad song or a sad moment, but that moment when I was looking out on that city and that song was playing, at 27 with all this success, looking around this beautiful Vegas suite that you could've never imagined me being in a couple years ago, that was the best feeling in the world. It was one of the most happiest I've ever been. So I think the complexity of that song, because surface value it would seem so sad, but it being such a happy song, is what makes that so beautiful.
Side Bar: This interview was taken two days before the death of Linkin Park's Chester Bennington… we will relay the interview and answers, but will also add MGK's moving tribute to him, written on his Instagram page, the day he heard of his passing…
Kode: So you were about to embark on a tour with Linkin Park. Now, I don't know about you, but we all definitely grew up listening to Linkin Park's music.
MGK: Oh absolutely.
Kode: So that had to have been quite surreal for you. Did you have any specific plans for the show?
MGK: Well, I mean, I wanted to step out there and do my best every night. Those are my boys. They have a torch I'm trying to carry. They've had it lit for so many years, and I'm ready to honor them and carry on that torch.
Not long ago we were talking about, when we were overseas this summer touring Europe, all the festival headliners were artists that have been headlining those festivals for like 10 years, and we were like, "Well where are the new kids, who's gonna be the next generation of artists to headline these events? Who could really put on a show that is of this caliber and that's gonna entertain this many people?" 'Cause hype is not gonna entertain that many people. And someone who's just hot on the hype train and doesn't really know anything other than getting their ass kissed, we always see them fizzle out and fade out. That's why those real artists are still headlining the festival, because all the hype people come in and go away, and come … The new ones come in and then they go away. I'm trying to be the next go-to band to control the crowd, and who better to learn from every night than Linkin? And who better to pass the torch from an artist that meshes genres like Linkin Park than Machine Gun Kelly? And you know what? It's funny. I was into them at that point when Hybrid Theory, that first Linkin Park album, came out and I'll never forget, me and my friend would switch the CD player between each other. He had College Dropout and I had Hybrid Theory and they both came out around the same time and so he would have Kanye and I would have Linkin Park, and halfway through the bus ride to school, we'd switch and I'd listen to Kanye and he'd listen to Linkin Park and it was really cool to see that black, white, Asian, and Latinos were vibing… It was just people were just digging the music and that was fucking cool. They are legends for that right there. It is crazy. You can go to the hood and just pop in and ask what people think of Linkin Park and they are like "Oh, yeah, dude. I fuck with that."
Kode: Agreed.
MGK: That's really cool, and I wanted to be the same and it is the same with us, actually…
Kode: MGK's Tribute from his Instagram page
MGK: My heart hurts in ways I never thought it could. I heard the news when I was driving in the car with my daughter and I couldn't even finish the drive. I pulled over and lost my shit. I remember watching [him] perform "Crawling" stripped down with just Mike Shinoda playing the keys in Poland when we did that show together the other week, [Chester's] voice spoke to my soul. I'm re-living that moment now because that's how [Chester] deserves to be remembered: a voice for those who wanted to scream out, who had pain and no way of expressing it. [Chester was] that for me since 11 years old and I had the honor to become friends with [him] and share the stage with [him], but I never got to say thank you. [Linkin Park] invited me on tour this summer and it was the happiest I've felt in my career, I'm sad to not be able to see it happen, but mostly just sad for music, the Linkin Park family, and the fans – [Chester was] one of the greatest frontmen of a band to ever live and I just want [him], wherever [he is], to feel loved and to be happy. thanks for everything Chester.
