    For a nice jog through the lovely fall weather? Sounds like a good plan.

    Unless you mean that you think Trump will win, at which point I'll do a bit of laughing at you during that jog.

    ...? I'm not making any claims here. Hell, I hate Brietbart almost as much as I hate Milo. I'm a pretty liberal dude, so I'm not sure why you're going after me.

    I don't believe it- I really just wanted to talk about Trump threatening to jail Clinton and just how ridiculous that is. This post was a good excuse for it.

  4. Slashdot covers politics pretty regularly, with or without tech stuff. We've both been here long enough to see that.

  5. Welcome to political news, where the headlines are made up and the facts don't matter.

    She & Bill have transferred almost 2 million dollars from accounts in the USA, to Dubai. Now why do that? Planning on fleeing the country on November the 9th if you lose?

    When your political opponent is threatening to throw you in jail if they win, having a fallback may be prudent. Shit, I'd flee too if I thought Trump was going to win at this point.

  7. What a shock, more click-baity subjects and summaries from /.

    I thought about leaving when they started running near daily stories about Clinton's emails, but said nothing about Trump's admissions of sexual assault. Perhaps I should give /. a break until the 9th.

  8. I still don't get it on Mark Cerny, Chief PlayStation Architect, Explains the PS4 Pro (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    It'll get you some prettier games for a price that'll likely be obscenely expensive for a traditional home console- and by having the requirement of no PS4:Pro exclusive games, they're really limiting what the devs can do/come up with. You can use the extra processing power to make things prettier or maybe add a few more enemies to the screen at a time... but is that really worth an entirely new console to people?

    At this point you really are better off getting a PC in most cases. It probably wont' do 4K at that same price, but then the P4Pro is only barely doing 4K to begin with- and that's only if you have a 4K tv!

  9. As well as texts and emails from the carriers themselves in many cases, the former of which goes DIRECTLY TO THE IMPACTED PHONE.

  10. Re:Wireless Headphones on Many Looking Past iPhone 7 to Next Year's iPhone 8 (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's the other part of this that I wouldn't be happy about if I were an apple customer- bluetooth sound quality is far, FAR from superb. While I DO own a pair of headphones of that variety, the only reason I use them at all is to make my life easier while working out/not destroying the cord like I have so many times before.

    Speaking of which, I imagine many users will be stuck charging their headphones daily- perhaps even more if they're anything like mine which top out at 4 hours. Right now it's only a frustration, since I charge twice a week- but having to deal with it on a regular basis is not something I'd look forward to.

    That being said, the silver lining I see in this is the possibility that we'll see a major push to improve the quality of wireless headphones. Unless they're using their own proprietary standard, at which point they can get fucked.

    "Paving the way for wireless headphones"- really? We've had them for ages, they're not exactly new or even all that uncommon.

    Thiel used his money to silence a news organization. Granted, the news organization had done some shitty things, but doing this even once proves it can work.

    Even if you don't like Gawker (I don't), this is not a thing to be celebrated. It will be used again, and quite likely on targets far less deserving.

    Ouch. I had a very similar experience, but all I said was that sexual liberation doesn't mean that sexism is over. It all went downhill from there very fast, ending a week later with me being called a multitude of ableist and racial slurs by people who consider changing box art a threat to free speech.

    They DID do a somewhat upgraded version on the 3DS that looks good and plays quite well. If you've got access to a 3DS, I highly recommend it!

  18. Trump is also currently being sued for raping a minor that's tied to the Epstein case.

    "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,'' Trump booms from a speakerphone. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

    Indeed, and that's been their strategy for a while now (selling consoles at a loss to start), but given that many computers still have difficulty doing 4K at a stable rate this would be one HELL of a cost to eat. I'm very curious as to what the technical load out ends up being when all is said and done.

    Sure as hell not going to be for 4K gaming at any price point the average console player is going to spend. I'll be shocked if they can get decent 4K running for less than $800.
