  1. Re: right to repair need to give 3rd party's the c on The Man Who Jailbreaks Teslas (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    ABS works amazingly well. Other than being on a track, why would you disable it?

  2. Re:And then... on Debian Linux Turns 25 (betanews.com) · · Score: 0

    An untested pile of garbage pushed by a company whose primary business model is selling Linux support. Hmmm.....

  3. I didn't see anything about source code, they mentioned access keys. They probably used it for employee info and payroll and that kind of thing. Oddly enough IBM has been buying a lot of Apple hardware for corporate. They said yes the initial outlay was greater but the costs were saved with less support and help desk calls.

  4. The mainframe business is alive and well. Read up on some of the new features of these beasts.

  5. Re:Remember on Putting Stickers On Your Laptop is Probably a Bad Security Idea (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes my identity depends on the stickers on my laptop. Fuck you dad you can't tell me what to do anymore! *runs away crying*

  6. Re:Professional graphic cards - How much better? on NVIDIA Unveils Next-Gen Turing Quadro RTX Professional Graphics Cards (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes. You run a week long simulation only to find an error caused by unstable hardware.

  7. Re:Good on Facebook Bans the Sale of All Kodi Boxes (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Let's be real here. How many people buy kodi boxes to watch legal streams?

  8. Re:Great writeup on Facebook Bans the Sale of All Kodi Boxes (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Cheap little boxes that run Android and plug into your TV. Nobody here will admit it but they are primarily used to stream pirated content.

  9. Re:Need to go further! on Facebook Bans the Sale of All Kodi Boxes (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why do you think they big companies are getting rid of headphone jacks? Perfect way to implement a DRM flag.

  10. They retire that pile of shit yet or is Poettering still sucking everyone's dicks to keep it?

  11. Re:Reddit is self censoring anyway on Reddit Blocked In China (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    The place is a giant circle jerk. I get banned from the leftist groups for pointing out sensationalist headlines. The ban lasts four days and you're even muted from messaging moderators. They'd rather mute people than let moderation work. It's going to implode eventually.

  12. Re:just the faxes, ma'am on Malicious Faxes Leave Firms 'Open' To Cyber-Attack (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You've obviously never worked with any government agencies.

  13. Eh on Reddit Blocked In China (qz.com) · · Score: -1

    Can't say much was lost. The leftism over there is suffocating.

  14. Re: Spend Millions of Federal Dollars on Should the US Air Force Bomb Forest Fires? (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

    They were started by an arsonist. Although being hot and dry for months certainly didn't help.

  15. Re:iPhone on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Unlocked Smartphone? (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I'm still using an iPhone 5C from 2013 and OS updates only recently stopped with iOS 11. Four years of updates is unheard of in the Android world.

  16. Re:Should the government require audit of designs? on Researcher Finds A Hidden 'God Mode' on Some Old x86 CPUs (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 2

    I don't trust the government to properly fill potholes in the streets let alone have a design review of CPU silicon.

  17. Re:Ain't gonna pay out on Monsanto Ordered To Pay $289 Million In Roundup Cancer Trial (bbc.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I swear the autism level here is worse than 4chan.

  18. Re:Ain't gonna pay out on Monsanto Ordered To Pay $289 Million In Roundup Cancer Trial (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The payout wasn't to compensate the victim. It was to punish the company who suppressed information that the product was dangerous.

  19. The same reason Gnome has its own virtual filesystem and systemd has a built in DNS server.

  20. I downloaded that giant torrent and even had to find a third party program to unzip the damn thing. The one built into Windows would have taken days. The Stupid part is MAME never had long filename support so you have 50,000 roms all in 8.3 file format. You'll never know what any of them are without a GUI front end.

  21. Re:There might be something else at play here... on Facebook Now Deletes Posts That Financially Endanger, Trick People (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    The funny part about that was how the feminists and SJWs hated the law because it clamped down on sex workers.

  22. Re:eDonkey! on P2P Piracy is Alive and Growing, Research Suggests (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    I gave up on that network when I saw the queue was over 6000 and running at dialup speeds.

  23. Re:I don't use wireless on Hashcat Developer Discovers Simpler Way To Crack WPA2 Wireless Passwords (hashcat.net) · · Score: 1

    I'm still using 10BASE5!

  24. Hey at least it wasn't an article about who Trump was trolling today.

  25. Re:In Other Words... on Hacker Posts Snapchat Source Code To GitHub (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 2

    This was proven years ago when a bunch of pictures were leaked from their servers.
