  1. > RAM: 2GB
    > ROM: 16GB

    I don't think you understand those acronyms.

  2. Re:[tinfoil]Artificial scarcity ![/tinfoil] on Laptop SSD Capacity To Remain Flat As NAND Flash Dearth Causes Prices To Rise (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, last year DellEMC shipped over an exabyte of flash to customers. And this is one company only! I can believe that all flash production is being drained.

  3. Care to enlighten me what would the correct query be?

  4. Lines? on Sprint's New Unlimited Plan Adds HD Streaming, Four Lines For $90 (zdnet.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Lines? Like they install 4 copper pairs, four coaxial cables or 4 fibers on the premises? Or is it for cell contract, in which case "line" has no meaning whatsoever?
    Can someone explain?

  5. It's completely different in Linux on Developer Explains Why All Windows Drivers Are Dated June 21, 2006 (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    It is interesting to see this is complete opposite of what we have on Linux. Here, vendor drivers are almost universally shitty. If they work at all, vendors tend to ship drivers compiled for ancient and/or specific kernels.
    On Linux, if you have driver in kernel, you almost always want it instead of vendor provided one. nVidia GPU driver may be the only exception.

  6. Link missing on ProtonMail Adds Tor Onion Site To Fight Risk Of State Censorship (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Summary lacks the most important thing: link to the site itself - https://protonirockerxow.onion... .

  7. Like with any other software on Ask Slashdot: What's The Best Place To Suggest New Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    You find a contractor through some coders-for-hire or bounty webpages. You negotiate the price. You put in contract that the software will be covered by opensource license of you choosing, be it Apache, BSD, GPL, MIT or any other.
    Then you wait for coder to deliver what you've ordered.

  8. And exactly the same as location sharing in Google Plus right now.
    They love to re-introduce the same stuff over and over again.

  9. Re:I'll wait for a third party review... on Elon Musk: Tesla's Solar Roof Will Cost Less Than a Traditional Roof (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe the tiles will come with opaque covering for installation –plastic, vinyl or even paper. This covering would block light during handling, and would be removed after all tiles are attached to roof.

  10. Re:Does Alibaba matter to those in the west? on Alibaba Posts $1 Billion in Sales in 5 Minutes on Singles' Day (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Of course! Majority of ebay/allegro sellers are just middlemen buying stuf from alibaba and reselling locally. More and more people are aware of this scheme and just go to alibaba directly.

  11. Residential connection? on A Radiologist Has the Fastest Home Internet In the US (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    If he's working using this connection, he should get a business deal, not residential. Most home connections have strict "no commercial use" clause in ToS.

  12. Re:That can only happen on CDMA on 'Adding a Phone Number To Your Google Account Can Make it Less Secure' (vijayp.ca) · · Score: 1

    But you can still move ('port') your number to different provider. It's all happening between telekoms. Lately crackers have been moving the numbers to shady VoIP providers, in order to intercept 2FA tokens.

  13. Are they talking about RMI4-protocol connected touchpads?
    If so, you can learn a lot of details of their working from libinput's developer blog: http://who-t.blogspot.com/

  14. "5 White, ... 4 European"
    I have trouble visualising that difference.

  15. That suck for Signal, as they choosed Chrome as their platform on non-mobiles. It's not a great loss, the program was limited and synchronisation didn't work for SMS.

  16. Sun alumnis on Samsung Buys US Cloud Services Firm Joyent (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Joyent is mainly known as a refugee for brilliant Sun engineers after Oracle takeover. They've built their platform around Solaris, ported linux' KVM to it and further enhanced using ZFS and DTrace.
    The question is: will Samsung integrate those pearls? Or would this Solaris platform be shelved?

  17. You are fscked up the same way by AMD: https://libreboot.org/faq/#amd

  18. Re:Missing Detail: Cost of Extraction on Apple's Recycling Initiatives Recover $40 Million In Gold (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, if Apple send their stuff to China, the recipient would be Apple. They are manufactures from start to end of chain, they have noone to offload recycling to.

  19. Re:Missing Detail: Cost of Extraction on Apple's Recycling Initiatives Recover $40 Million In Gold (macrumors.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    That's the cost of following the law, being nice to environment is a side effect. Apple, as a device manufacturer is under *obligation* to recycle their phones, as long as they want to sell them in 700+ million market called Europe.
    Here is quick summary of ROHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC directives: https://lwn.net/Articles/68380...

  20. Kik, bringer of chaos on Chat App Kik Beats Facebook To Launching a Bot Store (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 3

    Don't forget, Kik is the company that indirectly started last shitstorm in JavaScript hipsternet: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2...

  21. Re:Getting away with it? on Have Your iPhone 6 Repaired, Only To Get It Bricked By Apple (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    If this ever become widespread, there would be a law introduced to curb it. We already got a law protecting aftermarket parts and non-vendor service station for cars: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal...

  22. Re:Ted Cruz on Matt Groening In Talks With Netflix For Animated Series (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    And this is relevant to Groening's animated show how?

  23. Re:EFI, the NEW boot standard, requires FAT 8.3 on There Is No .bro In Brotli: Google/Mozilla Engineers Nix File Type As Offensive · · Score: 4, Informative

    EFI is 20 years old, it's hardly a "new" standard. And if you look into current version's (UEFI) specification 12.3.1.2:
    http://www.uefi.org/sites/defa...
    you will see that filesystem used on ESP supports long file names.
    So please stop disinformation.

  24. Re:Slower, Same range, within 5 years?!? on Porsche Unveils Its First Electric Car · · Score: 2

    Pushing 300kW would mean 1300 amperes at 230V. Or 750 amperes with 3-phase 400V. Which is quite a lot (to waaaay understate). My whole apartment has 60 amperes terminal.

  25. Re:Bus Factor on "Father Time" Gets Another Year At NTP From Linux Foundation · · Score: 1

    Linux Foundation sponsored developer who has extraordinary knowledge of NTP and time issues: http://phk.freebsd.dk/time/ind...
    But apparently something went iffy between them, as last commit to https://github.com/bsdphk/Ntim... was over a half year ago.
