  1. he bitches and whines like a stale fart, about what video games have become, for what like 20 something years and like last month decided he is going to embrace the modern age by getting involved with some "who gives a shit" fad tech

  2. Unless on the interstate system on Nearly 56,000 Bridges Called Structurally Deficient (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Bridges are a local problem (state and county level) interestingly enough the top 4, maybe 5 are the biggest butthurt about "dey took ur jeobs"

    how's that small limited government working for you, oh you want aid to fix your bridges AND your horse and buggy economies

    ugh

  3. I was being a wiseass

  4. libreoffice is just as good!!!*

    *as MS Office 2000

  5. how is bestbuy even still open on Facebook Is Closing 200 of Its 500 VR Demo Stations At Best Buy Stores Across US (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 0

    Out of desperation I went to one yesterday looking for a replacement case fan, and during prime shopping hours (about 6:30pm) there was like 4 customers in there and an entire army of drones shoveling their demo's in my face as I walked by, and of course not a single employee to actually point me to what I was looking for

    it was fucking annoying, so I made it all the way to the back of the store just to find out they didnt have the fan the website said was in stock, turned around and saw the gauntlet of sad sales drones waiting for me. I tucked my head down and went though it all again.

    I would rather walk a mile in a hailstorm than go to another best buy (its been several years anyway) and risk being caught glancing at something shiny, just to be attacked by some apple / samsung/ lg / who the fuck ever sales douche

  6. Atari founder Nolan Bushnell invented Pong

    the concept was stolen from Ralph Baer, and the invention was done by Allan Alcorn, who did all the fucking work

    Bushnell go fuck off and die already, all you ever do is is pop up like a stanky goblin fart every 2 years, usally acting like a right asshole

  7. Re:Hey google, fuck yourself on Google To Force Basic HTML Gmail On Older Chrome Versions (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure not a single person give 1 single shit what free email you use, let alone google, to them you are a burden and I think the message is pretty clear... its google telling you go fuck off

  8. no one has good proven commercial grade software for arm, and its even a grey area for mac

    x86 has been competing with the power and power of arm for a bit now, and when it comes down to it what am I supposta use? hacked up libre office offered by zen ding dong jacnoff for arm that needs root access and web add's or a a 80$ copy of MS office on X86 that majority of the universe uses at this point

    im not writing a church newsletter on my jackoff pad, im writing a 400 page techinical report

    99.999% of the time recycling takes more time effort and energy than the processing of raw materials

    Lead-free solders in commercial use may contain tin, copper, silver, bismuth, indium, zinc, antimony, and traces of other metals

    Companies go to great lengths to use as little solder as possible (ours saved almost 10 grand a year on a single low volume product by reducing paste by 20%) and of that tiny amount of solder only a minuscule amount of it might be silver (silver is not required for lead free solder)

    so the amount of effort, energy and nasty ass chemicals to extract the possible silver would be a ridiculous waste of time

  11. 2.5 million game pirates had their information leaked from a sketchy ass website over a year ago and now are acting offended someone may steal from them

  12. unrealistic expectations on Touch Bar MacBook Pros Are Being Banned From Bar Exams Over Predictive Text (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    real lawyers are stuck using windows XP on a 8 year old HP, cause its the newest thing that interfaces with the criminal justice system

  13. im not saying that it cant happen but in tech like batteries there is a reason the most obvious low hanging fruit solution is not the one used, and details on this are very sparse

      essentially what the article hardly describes is a capacitor (more specifically a beefed up metallic film cap), which can output a fuckton of power for a very short time. I can understand not giving away the sauce, but "it puts out twice the power and doesn't catch fire" is not really compelling

  14. Without half that summary being a 5th grade science lesson I would have no fucking clue how a battery works

  15. isnt that the point, if you looked everywhere in the country and could not find qualified personal, then you get into the H1 program??

    the biggest whiners are the clueless idiots, its seriously not even a problem if one is a classicly trained "save your fucking shit before you leave" computer user, instead of one of these ranting baffons, ya know the same fuckwits that never let the screen of their I phone turn off

    and even if it's a slow burn you wont know unless you know what the numbers mean

    even on slashdot the majority know jack shit about electronics (hence all the countless pi and arduino posts over the years) so abcxyz data on a device means fuck all nothing

    yes its so common I buy USB devices multiple times a month and have never encountered it

    hell USB 3.0 devices you have to seek out

  19. I have had a window smashed and a lock knocked in (by what looked like a cold chisel), both instances were much more expensive then the stereo + CD's they stole

  20. + they left it in a car, so yes either bait or retard

    I lean towards retard

    totally depends, the office near my house is a couple of laid back bumpkins that can help you with anything, the one near my work makes the call centers look like saints
