    The Samsung DEX is small. The cable is a must even when using a laptop, IMO, because laptops have small screens. The phone is something I carry anyway so it doesn't count. That leaves the keyboard and mouse, and then again, I have to use a mouse, was never able to get used to the laptop embedded crap.

    To the rest of you, you shouldn't be looking at pornography, it's unnatural and eventually will lead you to erectile dysfunction and a shitty life, your relationships will collapse, and you'll be left with nothing but your porn collection. Good luck with that.

    The first murals depicted acts of sex.
    If you like porn, find someone who does too.
    Erectile dysfunction can be caused by many other factors. Yes, if you watch porn 12 hours a day you're screwed, but excess is bad in all areas of life.

    Wow, I must be living in the future.
    I'm using full Office Suite (for Android) and Office365 Online, as well as Google office suite (Docs, Sheets). I'm using browser-based enterprise apps, attend audio/video meetings, play multimedia files, including high definition movies, all on Android. Amazing, isn't it?

    You know what stops you from being labeled because of such things? By not actually doing something that the overwhelming majority of people dislike.

    A great way to stop any sort of progress.
    The majority of people disliked the Eiffel Tower project at the time. Same goes for the car, trains, electricity, abolition of slavery, science (remember the Dark Ages?), many forms of art and so on.

    Now, in this particular case, the (in)famous PewDiePie is as much of a shallow creator” as any other so-called creators” featured in the Youtube Video. They're all a bunch of clowns figuratively eating shit for the enjoyment of huge crowds of retards. That's modern society, and that was pretty much any society in the past, with one exception: Average Joes were never a good source of income until now, so they were largely ignored by celebrities. They had to entertain each other for pennies. But in today's society, Average Joes are wealthy enough to produce vast amounts of money if they are entertained with relatively insignificant costs. Film yourself absurdly and exaggeratedly reacting to other people's stupid videos, make millions of dollars a year. Get rich being retards' servant. Hurrah for contemporary entertainment!

    Before or after? "Both" is not an option.

    I never used tumblr regularly, sometimes I was sent there by some link or whatever, but went there after reading this article. Main page sucks, uses sndless scrolling an it's the same 10 or so entries repeating endlessly, with the occasional one-off entry in between. They say the adult content will be banned on December 17th. I searched for adult-related keywords (porn, hentai, adult, sex) - got no results. Looks like they started early with the banning.

    Oh well... not that there isn't porn anywhere else.

    The firm name has a musical something to it... I envision it as a chorus for a catchy song.
    Sorry for being offtopic, it's just that I can't get it out of my head.

  16. No, they are saying there are 500 million RECORDS, but, of course, Tech Crunch turned that into "customers" and Slashdot copy/pasted as always.

  17. Are they competing for Guinness World Record holder? Yahoo got top spot... until now.

  18. That's a problem. Is it intentional? As in "ISPs colluding"?

  19. My 3rd world country ISP has no data caps. If it imposes them, I will swiftly move to the next ISP. If that one imposes data caps, I will move to the third, and the fourth. If all of them impose data caps, the anti-trust council will heavily fine them all.

    I must apologize, I was referring to a totally different type of comment, see the link below:â

    When people post their opinion, no matter how weird, it's okay. But trolls are the ones posting comments like the one above.
    I should have exemplified, I hadn't and once again, my apologies. Sometimes I write what I think, but I don't think (about) what I write, and confusion ensues.

    You people really do spend all your energy on removing thought you disagree with, don't you?

    That's akin to me saying the exact same thing about the pigeon shit on your car. How dare you spend your energy removing it? They have the right to shit wherever they want and their shit has the right to stay there for everyone to admire it.

    The crap you refer to isn't "thought". It's crap. Period.

  25. You can disagree as much as you want, I have tested them many times, as a matter of fact they are so reliable nowadays that I no longer have a HDD in my desktop. I have a NAS and an external 4TB drive which I use to store my stuff, including one of the backups.
    Of course I back up to more than that. My important files have one mirror on the NAS, one synched with Backblaze B2, one on my external drive and the work files are on a SSD in my PC.
