  1. Re:Why Apple gets away with this bullshit on Latest macOS Update Disables DisplayLink, Rendering Thousands of Monitors Dead (displaylink.com) · · Score: 1

    Of course they do. People have done so for decades. Reference screens for doing any sort of professional video work costs multiple thousand dollars a piece and not even for a large screen.

  2. Re:Why Apple gets away with this bullshit on Latest macOS Update Disables DisplayLink, Rendering Thousands of Monitors Dead (displaylink.com) · · Score: 2

    Dell currently sells more than a dozen monitors over $1000. Your claim is that only Apple users are buying them? Also, people doing professional video and image work easily pay more than $1000 bucks for a calibrated monitor.

    Shitty troll is shitty.

    Cool story, creimer. How fat are you these days on that supposed “low carb diet” of yours? Do you still have a quadruple chin?

    Futurism reports that the first victims are "responding in kind by attempting to read the riot act to a Twitter account whose avatar is a monkey with a hat," strongly informing that monkey that "Centralized capricious power is exactly why we need blockchains."

    Boohoo. Cry more, snowflakes.

  7. Re:Great! Now who is responsible for -- on Open Source RISC V Processor Gets Support From Google, Samsung, Qualcomm, and Tesla (seekingalpha.com) · · Score: 1

    One design won’t do it all. That’s why people will take the base design and tweak it their specific application. Just like how Apple and Qualcomm take the base ARM64 ISA and make their own CPU designs.

    The point of this is not for one central party to manufacture some canonical RISC-V CPU. The point is having a base design than be tweaked if need and then added to a SoC, etc. by the designer to be fabbed by a foundry. Just like how ARM does not actually manufacture it’s core but licenses ISAs and core designs to third parties.

  9. This is Slashdot. No one has ever felt the need to be informed before ranting previously for years so why would anyone start doing that now?

  10. Because you haven’t invented the process to do so yet?

  11. There likely isn't any information about how to machine the damned things probably just specs that only someone with a multi million dollar techno-jazz factory could create.

    Yes, fabbing a CPU is a very expensive process. It’s not something you’re going to DIY at home and that was not what anyone working on RISC V claimed was possible. You’ll have to get a foundry to fab the chip for you.

  12. Re:Ads, paywalls, or what else? on Security Experts See Chromebooks as a Closed Ecosystem That Improves Security (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    If you oppose all web advertisements, would you prefer having to pay $5 for each distinct domain that you visit in a month?

    Other than your $5 figure vastly inflating the value of ad impressions these days, yes, I would be perfectly fine with the option paying money to not be bombarded with ads and tracking scripts. It’s why I’m a subscriber at sites like Ars Technica.

    If your website can’t survive without treating your visitors as a product then the website doesn’t deserve to exist. If I would be perfectly happy with most of thwse ad-laden clickbait sites going away forever. Nothing of value would be lost.

    But the Washington Post writes mean things about him so baby throws a tantrum.

  17. A trickle-downer who signed a huge tax giveaway to corporations is complaining that a corporation doesn’t pay enough taxes? Haha what?

    Don’t the trickle-downers always tell us that companies like Amazon, etc. paying more in taxes mean less jobs? So other than being butthurt over the Washington Post, shouldn’t Trump be glad that this “job creator” is only paying the bare minimum taxes to maximize hiring and shareholder return?

    Hypocrisy. Thy name is Trump.

  18. The FISA court is not for trials. So, no, there is no chance that he would be tried and convicted by the FISC.

  19. Oh no! You have to spend all of 1 second to uncheck a check box. I’m surprised you’re able to function when you have to deal with such dire problems on a daily basis. *crocodile tears*

  20. Yep looks like a list of nobodies not “prominent developers.”

  21. Or you can just use a tool like ublock origin, disconnect or ghostery and it’s all just done for you? Who actually has to manually block trackers these days? Are you using some stone age browser like IE6 or Netscape Navigator 4?

  22. Mobile news reading is horrible with AMP pages as it breaks things like the Mobile Safari reader functionality. Reading pages with Reader is way better than with shitty AMP and having to deal with website designers that use shitty, unreadable fonts and font sizes.
