  1. i kinda saw this as a win win too

  2. i get part of where he is coming from, because all tablets seem to do temperature based throttling. i do car show stuff outdoors and all our ipads slowly throttle themselves down to 0% cpu. funny enough, my surface was the only one willing to let me burn it out to get shit done. i also notice when using the surface as a drawing tablet that the same thing happens, it heats itself up even at the lowest screen brightness and starts lagging. and the ipads i don't even bother since they get too hot to hold.

  3. sounds like we have finally gotten to the point where a computer can tell a lie so many times that it actually believes it to be real.

  4. i always assumed that the lens itself was their fake sapphire, but the cover for the lens was just the normal same shit glass they use on the front. for fucking years i have been yelling at apple to stop making to god damn camera stick out of the phone, because all that lens cover does is get fucked up. it should be /inset/ into the phone instead so you can set it down and not scratch it by setting it down on the god damn table.

  5. "This is a general discussion to formally notify" on Verizon Workers Can Now Be Fired If They Fix Copper Phone Lines (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    I don't think Verizon knows what the word discussion really means. No matter how hard that tech yells at that paper, at no point is it going to consider saying anything other than what is printed on it. >_>

  6. star trek land on ISP To FCC: Using The Internet Is Like Eating Oreos (consumerist.com) · · Score: 1

    "is like saying copying a file on your computer somehow diminishes or degrades the original file, which of course is ridiculous." exec's would love if the internet was like star trek. where somehow downloading a database deletes the original copy. lets transmit our doctor across the galaxy so he can give a message to star fleet and not be able to use him locally because... ... DRM?

  7. the russians cant hack our shit they just found it laying around when someone left them on the shared global spy server. they aint /that/ good.

  8. I am fatter today than i was 3mo ago when I got this iPhone with a step counter. Study confirmed.

  9. Re:Yeah, that's how I want to spend my free time on YouTube Is Looking for Volunteers To Improve Its Site (fortune.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    i'd rather spend my time looking at and sharing inappropriate content than flagging it for removal.

  10. i always figured it was so russia could be like "our moral values are greater than everyone else, our laws show that" even though, i guess they don't enforce it.

  11. "buzzfeed reported" on Colin Powell's Private Email Account Has Been Hacked (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    what a world we live in today where that combination of words can be taken serious.

  12. subscription fee? on Hacker George Hotz Unveils $999 Self-Driving Add-On (pcmag.com) · · Score: 1

    really? whats next microtransactions at each intersection to perform the turns you need?

  13. the evil glares must be killer on New York Fines Viacom, Mattel and Hasbro For Tracking Kids Online (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Hasbro getting that get out of jail free card lol. Yey for them more ponies for me.

  14. maybe he should have been faster and charged a more reasonable rate >_>

  15. Employees? on Airbnb Unveils Changes To Address Racial Discrimination (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    i thought it was more like uber where normal people were just using their house instead of their car. it sucks that people are being such douchenozzles but its weird that anyone thinks they can tell people what they can do with their house. But i guess if they are considered legit employees something can be done.

  16. Re: The way of the Sega on Super Mario Is Coming To The iPhone (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

    Keep? did you see the demo? this mario game is really rubbish. more mobile trash. one direction one hand playing really? i got a kick how apple was like we give a console level experience after that.

  17. Re: I have my own plan to eliminate cable boxen. on FCC Chief To Unveil Revised Plan To Eliminate Cable Boxes (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    yeah i would be more interested in a plan to eliminate cable /companies/.

  18. I would on We Risk Programming Inequality into Our DNA (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    why would i willingly avoid doing everything i can to make my legacy the best it could be? Because someone else couldnt afford it? I file that under not my problem lol. Sure i have seen all the sci fi movies but you know what the unaugmented somehow always ends up saving the day anyway.

  19. But they reinvented the colours white and black!

  20. that makes sense... on Long TSA Delays Force Airports To Hire Private Security Contractors (popsci.com) · · Score: 1

    "The ability to do exactly what the TSA does, only faster and cheaper" - wtf why doesnt the TSA just get faster then... what about being a private security agent make you able to do the same shit faster than a TSA agent? does the TSA only hire cavemen?

  21. the colour that literally keeps you up at night.

  22. Re: Deterministic behavior on 400,000 GitHub Repositories, 1 Billion Files, 14TB of Code: Spaces or Tabs? (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    Which is the entire point. I like my tabs wider than most people it seems. I find it helps me notice when something is getting too complex for a single unit.

  23. Yes i love the arguement of how the ide does it for them blah blah blah tab key = auto spaces - ok then stop being bad and let it insert real tabs. Its pretty douchey to enforce a tab width via spaces in the code if everyones ide is just going to show what they configure anyway.

  24. If spaces can win then anything is possible. Trump presidency here we come.

  25. i only have my thumb and middle fingers in my phone, on purpose, and still accidentally pointer finger it sometimes. boy is apple going to be surprised when i accidentally use my penis.
