What isn't msmash saying about Slashdot's downtime?
Earlier this week, Slashdot went into read only mode and was all sorts of broken. This went on for an extended period of time. Slashdot and its editors, including msmash, have remained mostly silent on the matter. What aren't they saying? Just how deeply was Russia involved? Which Slashdot editors colluded with the Kremlin? Why haven't they turned over the details about the ad buy?
Thank you for being a friend Traveled down the road and back again Your heart is true, you're a pal and a cosmonaut.

Windows 8 was killed off in its infancy. Windows 8.1 is a neglected step child. Windows 10 is an abortion that will only be properly supported if you're on the latest version of Windows 10, which will soon require an annual subscription, and are buying new hardware frequently.
We've already seen MS try to artificially kill off Windows 7 support based on hardware (but in the opposite direction, to force people to move to Windows 10). For Windows 10 it's worse. You can have new hardware but if the OEM (be it Dell or Intel) hasn't paid for the extended support packages, or MS decides they don't want to support certain hardware, you're fucked. Here's some of the specific language on the issue.
All Windows 10 editions are managed via the Windows as a Service (WaaS) model: Updates are cumulative, with each update built upon all of the updates that preceded it. A device needs to install the latest update to remain supported. Updates may include new features, fixes (security and/or non-security), or a combination of both. Not all features in an update will work on all devices. A device may not be able to receive updates if the device hardware is incompatible, lacking current drivers, or otherwise outside of the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (“OEM”) support period. Update availability may vary, for example by country, region, network connectivity, mobile operator (e.g., for cellular-capable devices), or hardware capabilities (including, e.g., free disk space).
It's simply that when counting kills, potential savings of life isn't relevant.
Of course it is. If you're counting "kills" you're likely counting them for a purpose. Probably something to do with the fact that killing people is significant. Therefore, NOT killing people is also significant.
Nazis and nazis (lower case) weren't lying when calling themselves socialists. Hell, the KKK and their ilk were heavily involved with the Democratic party up until a few decades ago. The actual Nazis took over Germany because they had the popular support of the group running the society at the time, and managed to blame things on certain baskets of deplorables. Their goals and policies were extremely socialist. Their actual actions were monstrous, of course, and that don't mean that all socialists are like Nazis. But that doesn't change the actual history.
You can link to snopes all you want, they're useless for anything that isn't completely objective, and they've admitted their own biases in the past. At best, you're going to get a "No True Socialist" fallacy.
They also have a lot more experience with enacting policies that allow terrorists to run amok, suppressing news of that, spying on and stifling their own citizenry, etc.
Why the FUCK should Facebook or Twitter bow to ANY government's desire to control speech?
Yet did Apple ever tell 12 year olds Touch ID wouldn't work for them? Or siblings? Has anyone ever produced a Touch ID collision using 2 different fingerprints? It's easy enough to fool by cloning the targets fingerprints, despite claims to the contrary, but has anyone actually encountered a case where someone using Touch ID has found someone else that passes their Touch ID check?
It's all bullshit. Whatshisfuck stood on stage and claimed that it was orders of magnitude more secure and reliable than TouchID. What happened?
If a completely perfect mask is made, which fools the identification neural network, the defensive system will still notice -- just like a human.
Nope. If a "perfect" mask is made, the defensive system won't notice. And neither will a human. And if a "good" mask is made, the defensive system won't notice, but a human will.
Your system isn't usable for children under 13 because "their distinct facial features may not have fully developed"? Bullshit. It isn't usable because it doesn't work well. 12 year olds have faces as distinct as any other human face, far more distinct than a fingerprint, etc. You are using a high res 3D ("depth sensing") camera, thousands of points of detection, etc., etc., right?
If you can't distinguish 2 faces your shit is broken. If you can't recognize 1 face as being the same your shit is broken. If you can't walk the line between false positives and false negatives, you lie and dream up some shit about a defensive mechanism that's always working even when Face ID isn't working right, or Face ID not working because your faces haven't aged to distinction yet.
If Hillary had won, nobody would care. Anyone crying about the Russians buying pro-Hillary, left leaning ads (which they did) wouldn't be given one second of airtime or one byte of blog space.
Yeah Amazon continues to get shittier and shittier. I buy a lot of fixed-price shit (like video games) at Best Buy. I used to buy primarily from Amazon, but they fucked me with delayed shipping, fucked me with canceled orders, and fucked me with damaged boxes and items (of collectors editions, Amiibo, etc.). So fuck Amazon.
Best Buy charges $30 for 2 years of their Gamer's Club Unlocked thing, which gets you the same 20% off new titles that Amazon Prime gives you, but it has fewer exceptions and applies to some accessories (such as Amiibo). There are also sometimes extra bonuses for preordering (an additional $10 in credit for the new Mario game, for example). I also get free in-store pickup on launch day, and for big releases that means midnight. Whereas with Amazon I have to wait for it to be delivered between 2 and 8 PM, hopefully on the promised day. I've tried the Amazon locker a few times. Same day pickup? Bullshit. Most of the time I end up getting the 'Your item is ready for pickup" the following day. Occasionally, it comes the promised day, but after the locker location is closed (or 5 minutes prior). If you're in to the trading in games thing or the buying used games thing, the GCU program applies to both ends of that. I've never done it though.
Amazon wants $100 a year for Prime. It's got some music subscription I'll never use, a hodgepodge video selection I'll never use because the interface is shit and they always reset the view to include shit you have to pay for (on top of your Prime Subscription). You get free shipping on a bunch of stuff, sure, but it's not worth $100 a year. I don't live in New York City or San Francisco, so I don't have Amazon Fresh, Amazon Instant, Amazon Trendy, Amazon Quinoa, etc. available as an option. I have Amazon Pantry, but the $5 shipping charge means each time I need to buy toilet paper or kitchen sponges I have to wade through a list of rotating shit I don't need and pick out 5 promoted items to get the $5 shipping fee waived. And if the 5 items aren't worth their own cost minus the $5 shipping credit, I just roll out to Smart & Final and schlepp around a fucking cart to buy the bulkier items. (Normally, I just use the little basket for my weekly grocery shopping.) I could also go to Costco, but that's always a nightmare. Just surviving the parking lot is a feat unto itself.
If I had a Target (or even WalMart) near me, I doubt I'd touch Amazon at all. The prices aren't great, the Prime benefits are focused on stupid digital services instead of the one thing I want - fast and free shipping, and the item selection, 3rd party sellers, and rise of counterfeit / shitty Chinese products make it more like eBay.
Congress declares war and passes funding for war. The Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States of America wages war, regardless of formal declaration or funding.
Arbitration clauses are only valid for things that are legal and contractually agreed to, if they are valid at all.
You can't use an arbitration clause to stop someone from suing you for breaking laws regarding hiring practices, harassment, murder, etc. You also can't force someone to agree to something under duress. Agreement to an "optional" arbitration clause must be optional, and it must be actual agreement. If you're under threat of being fired or having a recent offer rescinded, then it's likely a sane judge would throw it the fuck out.
I dealt with a Compaq or perhaps Dell machine that had that shit. It had a separate power button for booting into that mode. But if you booted into it once, it would stay in that mode unless you did something else to boot it normally. Every time it happened the person who owned the laptop would come to me to fix it and I would have to look up the stupid procedure again.
The pictures are worse than text. They're so minimal it's often difficult to determine which piece is which, which way it should be facing / flipped, and which order do do the various sub steps in (or if any of that matters).
The best part is that rather than remove humans from the equation (after indirectly admitting humans were in the equation), their solution was to add MORE humans!

What Trump needs to do is hold a press conference, strip naked, pop a squat, and just drop ass on the head of the nearest FAKENEWS reporter.
In my heart, I know this must be the true meaning of #covfefe .

Windows 7 support ends in January of 2020. I do not look forward to Windows 10 being the only viable Windows option.

The main thing I care about is free 2 day shipping. But they keep moving more items to the "add-on item" category, delaying shipments, etc.
I find it perfectly fine for Russia, or anyone, to tell the truth.

Is prostitution the only way you're able to "spread a broad"?
Two? In the US for the past decade, one of those three would be a miracle.
Congress declares war and passes funding for war.
The Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States of America wages war, regardless of formal declaration or funding.
All of it?

Tapping would do it, if you were patient enough.
If you're in a hurry. grab a vibrator, turn it on high, and just press down.
