  1. This article isn't about streaming. It's about how people pay for their netlix account.

  2. Re:Apple's business practices are shady at best on Netflix Is the Latest Company To Try Bypassing Apple's App Store (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    You should have read the terms and conditions.

  3. Re:My own files? on Walmart Launches Online Store For Ebooks, Audiobooks (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, like they are going to base their whole business model around one person on Slashdot. They don't target people like you, they target the dumb majority who don't give a crap about technical specs.

    Great if you want to infect your devices.

  5. If you're running a rooted android then your phone has already been exploited at least once during the rooting process. If you're not using a rooted phone then you are also allowing a certain level of control to be held by the manufacturer. If you're sideloading apps on a rooted android then you are a complete idiot. So Mr security expect man, what do you think is the best option?

  6. They care about their customers money and overcharge for everything. FTFY.

  7. Re:I live in Venezuela, use Onavo and will keep us on Apple Removes Facebook's Onavo Security App From the App Store (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    No, it's a messed up dictatorship run by a former bus driver who is way out of his depth.

    They should be forced to delete any data they have collected, permanently and irreversibly.

  9. Battery life in Xiaomi phones is excellent. This was one of the main reasons I decided to get the Redmi 4x which has been a joy to use for the last year.

  10. You do. People are the product.

  11. It doesn't matter what it's called as long as it does what the user wants it to do and is good value for money. The name of something doesn't affect it's capability in any way.

  12. You seem to be obsessed with Backdoors. You gay or what?

  13. As opposed to the NSA, MI5 and Mossasd, all of whom have been proven to be hacking and spying on their own citizens.

  14. I switched from Samsung to Xiaomi Redmi 4X in 2017 and haven't looked back. You're basically getting high end phones at a fraction of the price. Octocore CPU, 6gb RAM, 64GB rom in 2017 for less than $200. It's over a year old now and still working great.

  15. Show me a phone company that doesn't have backdoors in their product and I will introduce you to a real unicorn.

  16. Mass produced machines are tested properly. I stick with those.

  17. Re:Facebook on Facebook is Rating Users Based On Their 'Trustworthiness' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    I rate them by not opening their url and blocking their tracking scripts on 3rd party sites. Those "like" buttons on other websites are often hosted on FB servers, not to mention some background javascripts and cookies.

    Not really, it's just one website out of millions and you're free not to use it. There are plenty of other ways to communicate with friends and family.

    Edge isn't that bad. It's also pretty good on Android.

  20. This is true. All you need to do is install "classic start" on 8 and you get something that is way better than Windows 7 or 10. Faster, less telemetry, less bugs and not that horrible black monstrosity at the bottom of your screen.

  21. Who?

    All fun and games until you electrify your junk

  23. Shush, generation z need some first world problems to whine about.

  24. Pretty sure the English and French building an tunnel under the English channel was a bit better than any German one.

    They don't reign over me. I've never had an iphone and don't plan to. I get my better quality Xiaomi phones direct from China and save a good bit of money.
