    Newp.

    Parroting supermodel Karlie Kloss (the girlfriend of Ivanka's brother-in-law), the first daughter added, "We're excited to learn this incredibly important new language together. Coding truly is the language of the future."

  3. Yeah, I did it. Best Buy had a better PS4 deal than GameStop this holiday season. I did pick up a number of used games from them, so it didn't end completely badly for them. Gamers Club Unlocked means I'll keep coming back to Best Buy, since I'm not an Amazon prime member.

  4. Re:Well, it was fun Reddit on Reddit To Transform Into a Social Network With New Profile Pages (digitaljournal.com) · · Score: 1

    Considering most subreddits I or others I know visit are subject-based (r/psvr), external news-driven (r/japan), or niche (r/bowling), I don't think anybody is going to follow u/foo just to see him talking about how his grandpa loved the PSVR, an earthquake in Hyogo-ken, or how he needs help dealing with dry/oily lanes.

  5. That's weird. Neither I, nor most other kids had too many issues with learning them. I didn't have anybody to teach me either. Older people just don't want to have to learn new things. One of our users told one of our technicians (who is in her late fifties) that she was 51 and too old to learn how to use two monitors.

    Yeah, but if you don't use it, I don't see a lot of downsides either. It'll sit as unused as my profile page on most PHPBB boards I'm on.

  7. Re:Targeted Ads on Google To Revamp Policies, Hire Staff After UK Ad Scandal (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Not seeing a problem here. I'm sure plenty of Muslims pissed off about Cadbury eggs would want to read the Guardian.

  8. Netflix is missing the point. While admittedly, movie theaters haven't done anything revolutionary for a while, they have steadily updated the picture and audio quality. These two things are the reason I continue to go to theaters instead of watch on my home theater.

  9. If you ordered from Samsung's store on Buying a Samsung TV Online Could Jeopardize Your Data (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    You messed up. I bought a TV for my brother from the Samsung web store in December. No indication this TV was on back-order. I got no status updates for weeks. Finding your order status if you chose not to create yet another account is a chore the first time. The only positives that came from it were the fact that I *was* able to order without an account, and that they upgraded our Black Friday model 6290 to a 6300. It almost made up for the experience.

  10. pay $20 for a movie and enjoy 15 minutes of ads for future movies, cars etc. Buy the dvd for $40 and get the same treatment.

    You talking Australia or Canada dollars instead of US American? That seems like double the amount I pay in both cases.

  11. Re:Start our own farm equipment company on Big Tech Lobbying Is On the Verge of Killing Right To Repair Legislation In Minnesota (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    It's kind of funny when you consider the reason farm equipment companies tend to lobby for this sort of thing. Often times, they have to compete against their own older, more repairable models.

  12. I've been getting Google AMP results from Google Japan for some time. The only thing I don't like about it is the extra click if I want to get to the real page, but that's generally only 25-50% of the time.

  13. Badass baa-chan on An 81-Year-Old Woman Just Created Her Own iPhone App (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm glad to see more diversity here, even if it's a simple app. That's one badass baa-chan.

  14. Yeah, that's what I've heard from some guys at work about the performance. It has definitely piqued my interest.

  15. I've bought a lot of AMD processors over the years, and while I'll admit they haven't been as competitive as Intel the past many years, I hope Ryzen proves successful. Consumers need decent competition to keep Intel from gouging everybody.

    It make some sense, I suppose. People back in the day probably were weirded out calling Toyota for business management consulting.

  17. Microsoft shouldn't worry. You wouldn't have been able to find those results with Bing anyway, much less anything you were actually searching for.

  18. There goes my dream of sexy Japanese phones.like more Sharp Aquos phones or Fujitsu Arrows.

    It will end up like Valve and nobody will ever want to make Half-Life 3.

  20. Probably not. They've sold plenty of Xeons made in places like Costa Rica.

  21. Ha! Joke's on you! I'm still running SMBv1 with NTLMv1!

  22. Re:So.... on Microsoft Gives Windows Device Makers Their 2017 Marching Orders (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes. If I recall, the point of the Surface was to kick other manufacturers in the butt so they'll start making quality and innovative hardware. If you recall, at the time, most manufacturers were only pumping out bargain basement Windows 7 machines that were barely qualified to toss into the scrap heap.

  23. Re:Physical discs still have a place on Sony Warns It Will Take $1 Billion Writedown, Blames Slowing DVD Sales (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    *shrug* I haven't pirated since I got a job. Also, I never said that's the only thing I will buy, just that I'm far less willing to accept the quality of streaming on a movie that demands more from a display or audio device. I mean, I still bought Sully on Blu-Ray and that isn't exactly taxing.

  24. Re:Logical following Sandisk on Toshiba Will Spin Off Some Of Its Memory Business (computerworld.com) · · Score: 2

    True. It's sad, though, because it reduces competition. I also appreciated being able to purchase some "Made in Japan" storage (though many of their lines weren't).

  25. Re:Physical discs still have a place on Sony Warns It Will Take $1 Billion Writedown, Blames Slowing DVD Sales (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    This is exactly my sentiment. I'll happily watch something like "Why Him?" or "Sausage Party" via streaming, but movies like "Star Wars Ep. 7," "Fury," or "The Hobbit(s)," It's Blu Ray or bust. You don't even need an expensive setup to notice the difference in quality. Even with my old mid-range 1080p set and low-end 5.1 component system it was noticeable.
