    delete your GM application and then you can DL the new version.
    Reinstall over the old version.

  4. Re:Interesting concept, but... on The World's Most Secure Home Computer Reaches Crowdfunding Goal (pcworld.com) · · Score: 2

    So anytime someone is seen with a computer this secure, just target their backups instead. Considering the relatively high likelihood of accidntal erasure, they're sure to have them.

    The classic example is the bank with impenetrable security. Just kidnap the manager's daughter and you have free access everywhere in the bank. There's always another way.

  5. They are pledging to something in 30+ years on GM Commits To 100% Renewable Energy By 2050 (cleantechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This does a few things.

    1) It's zero risk. No one will remember this in 30+ years.
    2) It'll get them a lot press now because people will actually believe them.
    3) Eventually all energy will be renewables. That's how progress works.

    P.T. Barnum should have put out this press release.

    I can't wait until everything is routed over USB-C.

    Displayport.
    Thunderbolt.
    HDMI.

    Everything.

    I especially can't wait until internal hard drives are using USB-C for data and power.

    those "trolls" disagree with Jack.

    If a troll or harasser happens to have the same political views as Jack, he doesn't care.

    Wow! Good to know we have global warming alarmists, sorry "scientists", to tell us that ice levels may change in 200.

  12. Re:Public Admission of Stupidity on Tesla's Autopilot Mode Reportedly Saves Pedestrian's Life (electrek.co) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If I drove like a moronic asshat, and nearly killed some innocent person, only to be saved by a computer, I might not admit it so publically. Especially when the police and the DMV read the internet.

    So a pedestrian in dark clothes, at night, not hearing an electric car, and jaywalking by stepping out from between vehicles means the driver drives like "a moronic asshat."

    You need to recalibrate your scale.

  13. She's still hot and rich.

    Yeah, I'm going to need some sources for that one.

  15. Fuck no. He's a traitor.

    You can have an argument about what he revealed in general was beneficial or not, but he gave and sold a metric shitload of classified info to our enemies.

  16. Re:FOIA requests on Clinton's Private Email Was Blocked By Spam Filters, So State IT Turned Them Off (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    She did this to skirt FOIA requests. I'm not sure why there aren't any major news agencies with the balls to say it.

    The majority of those news outlets want her to win.

    And are willing to help her any way they can.

  17. This is probably the reason that Clinton was using her own email server: the government email systems sucked because they were run by incompetent people.

    Really? Look, I'm no fan of the govt, but I seriously doubt that the email admin for the State Department, The State Department of the United States, is incompetent.

    Now the person that set up Clinton's open email system in her bathroom, yeah. I believe he was incompetent.

  18. Cook is no leader on Apple CEO Tim Cook: I'd Require All Children To Start Coding In 4th Grade (thehill.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He may be a transport, scheduling, and efficiency expert, but he's no Jobs.

    Coding isn't another language. It requires a mindset. The vast majority of people don't want to code and will never have to code.

    I consider coding to require the same skills as a novelist. An author has to build a world, keep the entire construct in his mind, make changes, and understand how those changes affect things before and after.

    Apple is plowing forward due to Jobs' work and Apple under Cook has yet to release anything insanely great.

    The interesting thing is Apple is a hardware company (makes things) while Microsoft is a software company (prints money).

    I don't go the TPB, but if a product is actively blocking me from going where I want, the it's time to switch products.

    The Brave browser is looking better every day.

  22. And that's what happens when you pay lazy fuckers to do nothing but breathe. The results are always the same. It poisons the good people.

    Looks like all the connectors are going away and everything is standardizing on USB Type-C connector. Good. Everything piggybacks over USB 3.1 including power. This looks like the best thing.
