  1. Re:Security on Ditch Linux For Windows 10 On Your Raspberry Pi With Microsoft's IoT Kit · · Score: 1

    yes security is at the core of thinking when 12 year old "hackdaddy88" rolls his own distro, which happens constantly on PI, look at the game centric distros already there, dump you to root with the press of a single button, its like fort knox

    no its just comcast's shitty streaming service, they prop it as a feature but in reality its mostly useless ... not that they want you clogging their pipes with that shit in the first place

  6. Re:Strange on Broadband Users 'Need' At Least 10Mbps To Be Satisfied · · Score: 1

    downloads at 10 meg is still faster than prime, problem is after waiting on said software to show up and it taking forever to install there's another 25 gigs worth of updates ugh

    I have 50Mb/s internet, but only cause it would actually cost more to go down a teir thanks to double plays and special promotions and blah blah blah, but I spent many years on 1.5 or 3 then eventually 10 and outside of HUGE downloads and keeping the video buffer full its mostly wasted pipe..

    course that's what the ISP's want, that way they can sell you a large number and hope that most of you are not going to use it, cause in reality if everyone in your area started a download at once the whole system would drop to sub ISDN speeds

  16. Re:Already running a $50 phone. on The Realities of a $50 Smartphone · · Score: 1

    dunno about the nokia but for fucks sake the market is flooded with android 4 50$ smart phones direct out of china that when you include the darn near slave labor probally only cost them 10-15$ to produce and another 5 per unit to cover development cost over the life of the production run.

    and half of them are made by ZTE which is carried by all USA celphone brands including the disposable prepaid phone as official devices, paid in full up front, the 50$ smart phone is 5 years old, out there and making a profit

    though 5 years ago is 5 years ahead of where google is currently with everything getting new web 2.0 interfaces that don't function, outside of android, which made the rest of the company go full blown retard
