  1. Re:Would be good if the algorithm... on The Google Clips Camera Puts AI Behind the Lens (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind ALPR can be divided into two sections, capture and analysis. Most use-cases for ALPR dont need 'real-time' conversion.

    Data can be subpoened. There are strong reasons to not keep records too, ask the librarians.

  3. Re: Less streaming content and higher price? on Netflix is Raising Its Prices, Again (mashable.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    You need Win10(fully patched and current) + a Z270 motherboard AND a Kaby Lake processor to get the full Netflix experience on PC.

  4. If it actually worked in the real world using local processing, then maybe we might call it that in a few years after its proven its usefullnes. Babelfish is reserved for something that actually works, ubiquitously.

  5. Most of the web is noise at this point. Killing off ads and going to subs would be better than allowing marketing to create an ambient field of marketing off of things that should be outright free. The entire low end of computing has been consumed by marketing. Every interface is designed to nudge you, even in file explorer and Android settings. By allowing marketing to go unchecked, they actively try and make things that should be free cost money. They make life harder for no good purpose.

  6. Growing up, owning a digital scale that could do tenths of a gram was grounds for being charged with possession of narcotics manufacturing equipment (depending on context).

  7. No one should make a living off of ads...

  8. Re: We need more guns on Las Vegas Shooting Leaves at Least 50 Dead, More Than 200 Wounded (wsj.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Guns are not a silly hobby, they are an enshrined RIGHT. You are asking for something the government does not have the power to do. Learn and understand the constitution before you make such immature responses about it.

    >I am not sure if you have a statutory right to sue after being discriminated.

    Doesn't that fall under the First Amendment: Right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances?

  10. Re:tell them ALL to do it on FCC Chief Tells Apple To Turn on iPhone's FM Radio Chip (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    My Moto G1, G4 and G5 all have FM hardware and software by default.

  11. Re:Not that compelling for me on Not Many People Are Buying Andy Rubin's iPhone-Killer Essential Phone, It Seems (fiercewireless.com) · · Score: 1

    You would think in an era of absolutely unprecedented choice and abilities in computing, people would embrace the variety, not look down their nose at it...I will never understand people like you...Stop using 'the masses like it so all other considerations are moot' as an argument,

    Fuck you, respect the users.

  13. Re: And then there's this on Apple: iPhones Are Too 'Complex' To Allow Unauthorized Repair (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes it will. I have 16 gb 8" winbook running win 10. I use it as a mobile file handler for sd/usb drives.

  14. Re:I don't get it on Corporations Just Quietly Changed How the Web Works (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    After i posted, i started thinking about how i would go about doing that with my Sony a6000 camera (6k x 4k) and 4k screen. IN the past i would have called it a hacky work-around, but now i think you are right.

    Because they are closing that hole with Windows PlayReady. Now the OS explicitly controls what content can and cannot be recorded.

    Except that its a power hog. I could run 10 Rokus in the power envelope of one PS3.

  17. Re:This will not end well on Google Buys Part of HTC's Smartphone Team For $1.1 Billion (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    You do understand that men get treated that way too, right? Its power that abuses, not gender.

  18. We call this 'all the power, none of the responsibility'. If she cant handle setting up a private connection then perhaps computing is too much for her. You cant magically hand-wave away proper security procedures. If fricking salesmen can figure out how to VPN, grandma can. (When i worked in I.T. I had many heated arguments with salesmen who didnt want to learn how to do things right either.)

  19. Thats why you use VPN when accessing the internet over a 'hostile' connection...If you are using random wifi without VPN, you kind of deserve what you get.

    >especially considering it's a device that hooks up to cellphone networks. AT&T tried the same argument in the last century with their wired network. We did not find it compelling then, i do not find it compelling now.

    The problem is you cant buy a smartphone that respects the user and offers built-in, seamless, fully factory supported rooting.

    What a wonderfully meaningless example.

  23. You know, im so used to MS forcing updates on me, i forgot that Apple doesnt do that.

  24. You are comparing a 'toy OS' to workstation systems with heavy use of user scripting and programming.. iOS and OSX are not the same thing. Why do you hate choice?

  25. You are missing the point. Changing the file system 'in-situ' without offering an opt-out is flat out fucking stupid on Apple's part. It should be offered as an option, not jammed down your throat on production systems.
