    Visual Studio and gaming are the only things that kept me buying windows boxes. Win7 was awesome, wtf happened ?

  6. Win10 is a toy, power users are abandoned on Vivaldi CEO: Stop Your Anti-Competitive Practices With Edge, Microsoft! (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    After having a remote machine running Win10 go into an eternal reboot loop after forcing us to run win update to install a driver for a Roland USB MIDI dongle, not being able to boot into safe mode, and having to drive over there on very short notice to fix it, I have now had it with MS. After all the telemetry crap, the forced updates, f-ing ads in the start menu (!), etc etc My next laptop will be a mac book pro, and every where else i will be running either debian linux or OS X. I am a professional developer for 15+ years, targeting mainly the windows platform, but now i'm willing to go the extra length to finally learn some cross platform frameworks and dev on linux only.

  7. Win10 alternatives on Wine 2.0 Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

  9. Re:matter of time on ISIS Is Dropping Bombs With Drones In Iraq (popsci.com) · · Score: 1

    yeah, but they had a lot of manufacturing infrastructure, and they had some very good scientists. i don't see IS making mechanical gyroscopes on a large scale, and every discarded smartphone from the last decade makes for a perfect drone platform.

  10. DGPS-like and telemetry ? on Amazon Seeks FCC Permission To Run Wireless Tests In Washington State (csmonitor.com) · · Score: 2

    like some sort of local positioning - and telemetry system maybe ?

  11. matter of time on ISIS Is Dropping Bombs With Drones In Iraq (popsci.com) · · Score: 1

    this was only a matter of time, with IMU's and position sensors so widespread and cheap today, all we can do is to try and restrict export to these countries, but sooner or later it will get out there too.

  19. Re:Already Sold Out on HTC Vive Goes Wireless (uploadvr.com) · · Score: 2

    you forgot the resolution is 2160x1200 and the refresh rate is 90Hz. Also compression results in more latency, which is absolutely undesirable for VR.
