What I find most surprising is that any of the suggestions are actually exactly what I intended to type. A lot of them are.
You're not clearing cookies and cache when leaving pages, right? You're always signed in into Google, Facebook & the ilk? And it comes as a surprise if Google knows what you think? I'm shocked, I tell you.
From the TFA: "sign off on [the settlement] with the company for $17 million, for an affected class of 16 million people" That's less than 2 bucks for you before the lawyers get their cut and I'd say 2 cents after that.
They lock if you buy the phone through them. Do what I did and pay more for an unlocked phone. You hear that? Stop being cheap and pay MORE for an unlocked phone which puts it closer to the MSRP.
Idiot much? We're talking about the bootloader not carrier lock. But hey, this is/., we don't RTFA.
Consider yourself in a taxi at the airport, about to board a flight, and all of a sudden you have no way to pay for the fare. Unless you have multiple cards WITH DIFFERENT BANKS, you have a problem.
Just pull out your wallet and pay cash. Oh, wait, you're one of those card only people. Well then, I have something to say to you: MUAHAHAHAHA
Why stop at $5? Make it $10 or hell, even $100 for big sites! I'd say make all sites paywalled and see how many will be left standing after a couple of months.
"they did not stop using BitTorrent to pirate movies and TV shows that were not included in the offering."
Detail, details. We are giving you the last and the best of the crap...erm, movies/shows. If you're a grumpy old fart who can't be fooled into believing the lastest crap... erm, crop of shows is THE shit, then you're a fucking pirate and deserve to die a horrible death! How dare you cheat us of money we think we could have made?
Damn right! We can work the negroes, chinks, spics, greasers and such right here in the good old USofA. There's no reason some fuking foreigner has all the fun!

The right thing to do is to roll back ALL Windows 10 to Windows 7.
Suure, we'll all live in the cloud. Because, fuck privacy and the internet is always available, right?

Locking the os prevents morons from bricking their device and demanding a new one.
It also prevents smart people deleting the crapware, installing an adblocker and firewall.

Of course, that's the whole idea. Get more suckers to sign in.
... and just use Google Chrome everywhere, and so bookmark syncing is built in (and works great).

WTF? Running scripts other than slashdot? Man, your uBlock/uMatrix/NoScript must be off.
Just block the fucking ads. Problem solved.
Oh, wait, ads are what Failbook lives for.
Why bother with testing when there are a lot of paying beta testers around? Windows 10 anyone?
We know this but, as an Apple user, he doesn't.
Digital radio is a sham which will be used to force subscriptions on people.
Were you expecting something else?
So, business as usual, huh?
The real tell is:

Shirley you mean far more often they break working things.
Yeah, and when the electricity is gone so is your data. Pen and paper for me, thanks.
Really? You presume everybody and his dog is reading and enjoying the same books you do.
Before you even begin the descriptive paragraph, your Personal Computer Bodyguard (tm) kills the person you're angry at.
Are they on sale? Can I buy one? Just asking for a firend, you know,.
Dell D820 running Windows 7 just fine, thank you. Launched in 2006 if I'm not mistaken.
So, I can use chinks, spics, greasers but I can't use n1ggers? WTF? As a Mexican - Chinese I feel discriminated.
Damn right!
