I think expectations were too high. They made $10 million in like a week. The investors wanted Nintendo to make a Candy Crush and/or Clash of Clans clone built from the ground up by psychologists to take advantage of whales. Nintendo figures that either wouldn't work and/or damage their brand so they just made an above average endless runner. SMR is more or less brand reinforcement. You make sure people don't forget what Mario is so they'll buy the switch. That's fine, but it's not what investors (who want short term gains to pad out their retirement portfolios) want.

Who promised the Rusdian leaders he'd have more 'flexibility' after his re-election? President Obama.

Who mocked claims that Russia posed the greatest threat to America? President Obama.

Who famously attempted to 'reset' relations with Russia, with comic results? Secretary of State Clinton.

You can act like random tweets from the campaign trail are meaningful, that's your right, but the above were all done by our elected/appointed officials while in office.

Hmm, some thing not right here in your comment. Did you reply me?
I sought an example of "blaming Russians", and "don't believe in Russian fakes/propaganda" anytime when someone did something wrong! Here is, Polish nationalist shouted "Kill all Ukrainians", "Death to Ukrainians", etc.
It's an example of "Fake news is likely to be on the both side" as the OP.
Oh, if you know history, you must know that Bandera's UPA massacred Polish in WWII, so my comment is reasonable here. It explained the action of Polish nationalists.
I don't care about Czech did what to Roman women here, are you trolling?

PS: I don't know why you mentioned Right Sector and LDPR, but by the way, Right Sector is a bandit rather than party. Also, look at another far right "MPs" do their job (this case Svoboda):
Violent video: Ukraine TV boss beaten up, forced to resign by far-right Svoboda MPs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
In this video, the man who beat the TV boss was ironically, the deputy head of Ukraine’s committee on freedom of speech. And, how dare such a small "party" could do this? The general prosecutor at this time was also Svoboda member.
Meanwhile, Vladimir Zhirinovsky is Russian version of Trump.
Comparing either Right Sector or Svoboda to LDPR is nonsense!

Sweet. I could trivially conect my car to ardurover an have it drive across town. Of course it doesn't have any collision detection capabilities, but I could hack in some simulink vision code with some effort.

I have been saying that for Years. 1.Its called APIs .2. Sloppy coding . Not realistic true as it is look at it its 8bit coding .you see it yourself .Most admit they dont know jack about the architecture ,. Then they claim that its 64bit or unix or true real-time ,but its not .The Amiga had all these things ,and more. Much much more.Not to mention tight coding. Yes, it is a dumbing down of society wither you like to believe it or not .i do believe some in here with the inane remarks are shrills ,and part of the problem really look at win 10. How many times before did they try ,and dumb down society with the stupid flat look clip artish 1970s ..4 times at least ,but guess what Amiga was there to stop them .congrats people u have just vga source and windows so now they accomplished it , and shoved the pos down ur throats ,and u have fallen for it, It kept it there .Then they passed it off as something new rofl You believe apple is the thing .. you believe in the 8bit world of unrealism you are stuck with what you have, A pos unrealistic 8bit graphics 8bit cpu time sharing graphics cards and cpu that is linux wither it be open bsd or mac os x or if its win 10 sand boxing ubuntu ..then they will kill linux soon. Congrats .. So you better make a new linux ..hum go back to the original linux on the Amiga in 1987.i wrned you all .I did No one would listen .. Oh it parallels with this as its a deep deep rabbit hole they do it in all parts of life open your eyes . oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.. the rabbit hole is very very deep oh yeah maybe about 23 secs in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

> One person lamented that computer games nowadays are tied to internet DRM like Steam, that some crucial DCC software is available to rent only now (e.g. Photoshop) and that many "basic freedoms" of the old-school computer nerd are increasingly disappearing.

DRM did already exist in the 80s. In the form of cartridges (MSX, C64, Vic-20, Atari 800XL, TI-99/4A), bad sectors and weak bits on floppy disks, non-standard loaders for cassette tapes, dongles on the parallel port for pro software, etc.

> Another said that Windows 10's spyware aspects made him give up on his beloved PC platform and that he will use Linux and Android devices only from now on

What's the problem then, he has a choice. Nobody is forced to use Windows 10. In the 80s you didn't have much choice for the OS, now you can chose between a multitude of OS, often for free.

> A third complained about zero privacy online, internet advertising, viruses, ransomware, hacking, crapware.

Zero privacy is a user choice, you can easily browse anonymously, disable cookies, use ad-blockers and anti-virus and chose to not use social networks that you think invade your privacy. Also computer viruses and hacking already existed in the 80s.

> I lamented that the hardware industry still hasn't given us anything resembling photorealistic realtime 3D graphics

Look at this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

> and that the current VR trend arrived a full decade later than it should have.

Suitable displays didn't exist a decade ago, several HMDs were released at this period like the eMagin Z800 in 2005, Headplay Visor in 2007 and Vuzix VR920 in 2008. But it was nowhere enough in terms of FOV, resolution and latency to succeed, same thing for the Sony HMZ-T1, SMD ST1080 and Vuzix VR1200 headsets released in 2011/2012.

> A point of general agreement was that big tech companies in particular don't treat computer users with enough respect anymore.

They've always been after your money and have always used all the possible legal tactics to get it, that's just the means that have changed since the apparition of Internet. The laws and the people simply need to adapt and do what is necessary to prevent abuses.

Also it depends on how you look at it. If you're a developer/hacker, big companies like Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, Facebook, Google, IBM, Epic, Valve, etc. have greatly lowered the access to computing tools and information (free programming languages, game engines, SDKs, IDEs, databases, Web frameworks, forums, documentation, free tutorials, etc.) and have mostly embraced the open source movement.

> What do Slashdotters think? Is computing still as cool and fun as it once was, or has something "become irreversibly lost" as computing evolved into a multi-billion dollar global business?

For me it's as cool and even cooler than in the 80s when I started programming. Today you can experiment with a lot of computing technologies basically for free : AR, VR, 3D, computer vision, game creation, Web programming, 3D printing, drones, Raspberry, Arduino, etc. Information is also much easier to find today thanks to Internet.

But if you're only a end-user who doesn't know anything besides Windows 10 and doesn't want to learn anything else, then yes, I guess I can understand why you would see computing as less cool and fun than in the 80s.

Forget whether they're storing everything. Remember when Amazon insisted Alexa only **hears** you when you say the wake word?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... YOUR ORWELLIAN DOUBLESPEAK CAN'T FOOL US ALL, AMAZON!

Remember when space was the coolest?. For a significant portion of Slashdot's demographic, the answer is "no" because they're not young any more. Younger people are probably dabbling in Maker stuff and might be wondering why this question is being asked.

His "shot from a gun" explanation in that first short vid isn't the whole story, by the way. 15 min into the this vid is where he talks about a head-on collision. No, I'm not saying Thunderf00t is an absolute authority on anything. I'm saying his explanation more or less made sense to me right away, whereas yours makes no sense at all.

They Hyperloop uses a near vacuum so... yeah. And even if it didn't about ten feet away it would be perfectly safe in a rupture. It's crazy to think this is any danger except for the moron that tries to pierce the tube. If what you were afraid of was an issue every person with an air compressor would be in mortal danger.

Air is pushed (accelerated) into the tube by the weight of the air around it (air pressure.) That weight (yes, literal weight, caused by gravity) keeps "falling" down the tube, picking up speed as it goes, and since it's a near-vacuum there is very little to slow it down. Acceleration over many seconds gives you a significant speed. I'm unfamiliar with the behavior of compressible fluids to know whether or not this would actually reach the speed of sound, but given what I do know it sounds plausible enough, and at the very least I would expect the wall of air to be moving at hundreds of MPH.

Conservation of momentum inside that tube must hold. And energy (more acceleration) is constantly being added. Where do YOU think that energy is going to go?

Thunderf00t provided a minor demonstration of this whereby a very heavy steel ball was fairly rapidly accelerated over a short distance and easily broke through the glass tube it was in. He didn't use an "air compressor" to push the ball. He used ordinary air pressure, i.e. he used gravity. Which is a force that accelerates you. (He has fuller explanations of the forces and issues involved in other videos.)

No, I'm not a massive Thunderf00t fanboy. I strongly suspected this thing was bullshit long ago.

Nope, it would simply come to a stop.

Physics 101 dude. This is air being ACCELERATED down the tube, not air moving at a constant speed. Air will only compress up to a point.

15 >= 120... Nope, does not compute.

I clearly said the trip time was on the order of half an hour. If you have a link to a seriously proposed hyperloop path that is a 2 hour journey, please provide it.

I'm going to let you have the last word on this since you seem to be way more unreasonably fanatically against anything Musk might have thought up

Paypal was a good (if evil) idea. He's done some decent stuff on SpaceX, though the Mars colony stuff is fairly dumb and pretending that he's going to dramatically reduce the cost of spacetravel is foolish since they aren't using radically new tech (spacegun, space elevator, whatever.) Tesla is a force for good in the world, although I wish Musk would talk about batteries a lot more. Next gen battery improvement is much more important than everything else combined.

And the hyperloop is a silly pipe dream.

I calls them like I sees them. If my understanding of physics is wrong... please, enlighten me.

And not just for Tesla either. Interesting how the video is published through the Twitter account of a personal injury consultant, no? It's not linked from the Tweet that's mentioned in the article and news outlets are actually conversing with this guy for the rights, even though their involvement seems lateral at best. Look for the video online and you find the same dude posting the tweet wherever they will have it (instead of just posting the YouTube copy that's also available, of course https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Also, is it really prediction, or is it just the Tesla noticing the car right in front of it suddenly breaking? Look at its break lights and course change (0:04 to 0:06).

Nonsense, there are plenty of step-by-step guides on YouTube showing you how to sideload any app on an Android TV. Any 15-year old can follow along.

If this was an app downloaded directly from an official source, it surely would have been mentioned, as this would have shifted some of the liability in LG's direction - or at least would generate a lot more sympathy. So sorry, no, I'm not buying that it was from the official store.

...it probably is. Don't try to find some app to watch movies for free as an alternative to paying for them via approved, signed applications and you most likely will not get ransomware. If you try to find "free" stuff, you're playing the malware equivalent of Russian Roulette.

On the note of resetting firmware, for most TV's you normally do this via the remote and the menu. However, in this particular case that won't work. There should be a way to physically hard-reset any consumer device to factory defaults without requiring an OSD. The reasons you might need to do this go beyond malware such as a power outage during a firmware upgrade or maybe (gasp) the consumer device manufacturer pushed a bad software update, bricking your consumer device.

There is actually a way to reset your LG firmware without using the OSD though. Go to LG's website: http://www.lg.com/us/support/s..., search for your TV model, then click on your TV's model number (found on the back of the TV). You will see modal dialog that has two links, one to the firmware and one to the software upgrade guide. The software upgrade guide walks you through the steps to put the firmware on a USB drive and upgrade it without needing to use the OSD. I found this youtube video that walks you through the whole process as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Don't go drama on tech support which in a lot of cases is outsourced to call centers full of low income incompetent idiots. If you want something done right, figure it out and do it yourself. Be your own tech support.

Its not enough to just be reactive about computer security. This still means that sophisticated attackers can hoard security vulnerabilities and develop advanced tools that find vulnerabilities the moment they are introduced. Instead, you should already design the system in a way that frustrates attacks and hopefully prevents some attacks entirely. A good talk about this:

George Michael is one of those guys who was crazy talented, but never really reached his full potential. I always wanted him to join Queen after Freddie Mercury died, and his performance of Someone to Love shows what might have been.

I had a boyhood crush on her in the days of the original trilogy. We lost a lot of celebrities this year, but the cast of the first three have always been special to me.
May she rest in peace.

I remember watching her in our college theatre. We had I think three of the older video projectors ganged together an viewing it on a massive screen. It was the ending of A New Hope. A New Hope Ending. She was also one of the early lead characters that showed a woman could take an assertive role and succeed. She will be missed.

I'm pretty sure this had a bit to do with it too.

I used to wonder why he was called that until I saw this video of him - see just the first 30 seconds of this clip. I do think more than technical knowledge, what he lacked was common sense. That was what explained the whole Windows 8 fiasco, although Nadella has arguably made things worse.

You mean scientists got funding to do research, and after doing said research, they drew some conclusions based on the facts gathered. Same process by which scientists concluded that smoking & asbestos cause cancer, and lead paint causes birth defects.

So, ooloorie, do you hand your two year old a Camel while dressing her in asbestos pajamas, before putting her to bed in her lead-painted crib? Just to stick it to those librul scientists with an agenda, before you give her a glass of arsenic-laden drinking water in the morning.

If not, why not? What's the substantive difference between you and Jenny McCarthy?

Even with all that, nope, still no excuse for death threats or other hateful messages.

It's the Internet. Anybody can send death threats and hateful messages, including people who fake these threats themselves (has there been a single instance of a "Trump" supporter committing a "hate" crime that hasn't been proved to be a hoax or false flag yet?) And clearly Brianna "Stayed Home" Wu did not take these threats seriously.

I've never understood the rage directed at her, other than that she was a convenient target.

The same reason Jack Thompson was raged against. He was trying to fuck with a hobby that gamers loved. It's just that the gaming industry rightfully rebuked him.

Even if GamerGate were originally about a lack of integrity in the gaming press (and yes, I do believe there were probably some shenanigans at Kotaku), the message was completely overshadowed by a very real phenomenon, which is the incredible amount of verbal abuse women tend to receive online.

Actually, statistics show that men get more abuse, though women get particular kinds of abuse more often. It's just that men tend to shrug it off and wouldn't get mass media attention anyways.

Do you know Jack Thomson also claimed to have gotten death threats over his crusade against violence in gaming? How much time do you think the media spent on that, versus being critical of his views? Did he get a police escort? Awards from the gaming industry? Tons of donations?

See, his problem was that he wasn't a damsel-in-distress. He should have found a woman spokesperson like McIntosh did.

And frankly, compared to that, even as a gamer, that seems a lot more important than the original story.

No, it's just a way to claim victimhood and shutdown a movement. Of course, the same media that tried to paint GamerGate as a harassment movement was a propaganda arm for Black Lies Matter, which ended up with dead cops, lives ruined, assaults against white people, and looting. How many people were actually hurt as a result of GamerGate: 0.

Svensmark (a real, actual experimental physicist who does actual, real science, i.e. does not spend his career fudging surface temperature records to fit his confirmed bias) has a number of excellent presentations on this.

Here you go with assumptions again. It's more complex than in-group/out-group. We're not talking targeted aggresion here, but mere caricature - a re-enactment of stereotype for comedic effect. For example some people took issue with this skit, despite the trope (90s TV advertising) being spot on - or a more recent one.

As long it's just bunch of people yapping I don't really care, but the moment there's a chilling effects because of this, it means a lot of people completely missed the point of having protected classes.

tl;dr car analogy: campaigning to ban driving because people die on roads is just plain overreacting. chill out, people.

No down-modding from me. The gamer-gate "community" has become exactly what they originally were supposedly protesting against: a bunch of childish outrage addicts who make up utterly biased BS to complain about people liking what they don't like.

I'm not exactly a big fan of tablet games, but there are lots of non-hardcore gamers out there who want an exceedingly mild challenge while communting on the bus or something. And considering its competition - compare "Revolution 60" against some standard "Match 3" dreck for example - and I suppose it could almost be worth the mild accolades. Here's some of its gameplay in action. Something of a JRPG vibe to it.
