  1. Re:What is the use case? on Netflix Axes Apple AirPlay Support (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Ah - the use case is laziness. ;-)

  2. Re:What is the use case? on Netflix Axes Apple AirPlay Support (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Change the password afterward. You should be changing it regularly anyhow.

  3. What is the use case? on Netflix Axes Apple AirPlay Support (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    What is the use case that requires AirPlay support to cast Netflix to a device? What AirPlay receiver doesn't already have a Netflix client?

  4. Yay, Capitalism! on Phone Carrier Apps Can Help Fight Robocalls -- Sometimes, Even For Free (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Now that spam calls have become a profit center, we'll be stuck with them forever.

  5. Re:How to make them pay on Why Robo-Calls Can't Be Stopped (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    This gets you on a "live number" list, resulting in even more calls.

  6. "Google will block your content when it feels like it"

  7. Re:So much for drive-in movies. on Trump Endorses Permanent Daylight Savings Time (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    VHS (and Betamax), cable TV, and the internet killed drive-ins, sonny.

  8. Why stop there? on The Cassette Returns On a Wave of Nostalgia (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Why stop with cassettes? 8-Tracks are even less durable, less convenient, and worse sounding!

  9. 'Nuff sed.

  10. Now with Clippy! on New Firefox Suggests Ways To Get More Out of the Web (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    'Nuf sed.

  11. If you are updating via Windows Update, you don't get an "option to keep my files". You only get that when reinstalling Windows. So it would appear that user error was involved somehow.

  12. Now I have to agree - Slashdot has died on Half the World Is Now Middle Class Or Wealthier, Says Brookings Institution (brookings.edu) · · Score: 1

    I've kept reading Slashdot through all the crap that's occured over the years, but now that right-wing propaganda is being published as serious news, maybe it's finally time to go.

  13. Re:So it still doesn't fix the repair problems on iPhone XS Teardown Shows Few Changes Aside From the Battery (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Doesn't do anything for the corrosion that regularly builds up on the lightning connectors.

  14. Re: Why putin or trump? on Summer Weather Is Getting 'Stuck' Due To Arctic Warming (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    BOTH population and pollution per person matter.

  15. The one thing that makes paper ballots preferable on Georgia Defends Electronic Voting Machines Despite 243-Percent Turnout In One Precinct (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Of course paper ballots have problems too. No system is perfect. The only advantage that paper ballots have is that they limit the number of people who can commit fraud to those who have physical access. No Russians, teens, etc... hacking from anywhere. That's a big advantage.

  16. Re:America elected an anti-government on HHS Plans To Delete 20 Years of Critical Medical Guidelines Next Week (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    Try 23%. Half the people don't vote.

  17. Slippery slope on Has Video Refereeing Ruined The World Cup? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    VAR is the wedge to get all the other annoying bits of US TV sports into soccer - especially ad breaks during play. Sigh.

  18. First click! on Microsoft Re-Launches Its Classic 'IntelliMouse' (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    C'mon...

  19. So much for ideology on Two Quantum Computing Bills Are Coming To Congress (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 0

    I thought the free market was magically supposed to provide all the innovation we needed?

  20. "When we get caught stealing, we get to make it go away instead of paying any penalties. It's the American way."

  21. Because a rich dude with simple solutions is working so well for us now!

  22. I know this is Slashdot, but y'know, it's possible to have a room in the house that doesn't have a computer in it. Apologies to those with studio apartments. I'm glad those days are long gone.

  23. Windows has had this for years on Windows 10 Is Finally Adding Tabs To File Explorer (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Nothing to see there. Windows has had it for years. Though the 'tabs' you click on are down (or up, or over) in the taskbar. Big whoop.

  24. Start regulating cryptocurrencies, and soon you'll have to regulate other shady trading schemes, like the stock exchange.

  25. Re:Perhaps It Is Time For A Physical Replacement on Are Music CDs Dying? Best Buy Stops Selling CDs (complex.com) · · Score: 1

    AND!!! You'd have to buy your music AGAIN to get it on this new miracle format.
