From a computer technician point of view (and my personal opinion) they are SO FUCKING BADLY designed. All the asus laptops that I worked with just took more time for nothing and it felt like all of them could break easily. they material was made cheap.
I mean, just to replace a hard drive was a nightmare imo. I had to remove the entire bottom plate and sometimes the keyboard as well and this is just to replace to access it. Jesus Christ, take a look at the lenovo laptops and at least copy their design to access parts that should take 20 seconds to replace ffs. ()
When a doom 2 add-ons named Brutal Doom is more fun and way better than the reboot made not long ago, you know you fucked up. hehe. Ok not fucked up but come on, its Bethesda, what did you expect hey.
same direction with you there. I rather see joust getting in and remove all the sports you mentionned. Now I saw joust videos on Youtube and THAT should be an olympic sport. I can actually see the next headlines from it as in someone got some spine injury lol
You should look into Korean gaming competition like StarCraft for example. Those guys takes it way more seriously than your "average" pro athlete. They make athletes look like amateurs in terms of commitment.
Mozilla regularly points out it develops the only independent browser -- meaning it's not tied to a tech company that has priorities which often don't align with the web
From this bit of news which states that Google pays Mozilla 300m per year, no they aren't independent like they claim. But I do understand what they mean though. 2 big companies using the same engine means less "competition". THen again, Microsoft's IE was always problematic and the devs that took care of it didn't seem to know what they were doing most of the time. When you ask any webdev to work on a webpage and request them to be 100% compatible with IE, firefox and google, they started to rip their hair off because they had to get IE compatible with their webpage. So yes, IE was very problematic.
if only they would stop their "shady" tactics to destroy the competition. I mean I know Intel generally speaking is better than AMD but Jesus, just be transparent about it. We live in an age where details are so important and contrary to times target audience or any other. Well when people want to know about intel vs amd benchmark, they know what they're looking at. Don't try to dupe them.
Sure electric cars are nice but they aren't free. They cost more for the people who wants to buy them. They could force everyone to buy one and do all kinds of policy but if the car is too costly it will stay costly no matter what. What do you think is happening in France. Gov may put incentive for bonuses when you buy an electric vehicule and put policies increase electric cars and reduce petrol cars but if the is too costly, poor people or people that cant afford it wont be able to buy it. Money doesn't grow on trees.
So if I own a mazda and I go against the law (code rules mostly like getting too much tickets) can they make me stop using their "service" (their cars). I don't get the logic behind this.
With all the news that has been going on in the USA about gambling, loot boxes and all those shenanigans, I'm surprised China didn't get hit by regulators and investigators since they have a really huge market and impact. I mean chinese devs can be the worst when it comes to the skinner box effect. If you don't know what he skinner box effect, just google it.
Listen, with software or games I can see the point. Its very easy to view and understand. You don't want your software to be copied on other computers without authorization and you want those people to pay their due or share.
But were talking about the Oculus Rift. Its a hardware. I shouldn't have to be connected all the time. If its aboutt he updates, then that could be circumvented but I don't even see the point of always be connected with the oculus rift...don't start with me about security... Its not that.
I guess its going to be easier for Microsoft to receive data and probably to do with legal issues as well. The amount of data that Microsoft receives from Windows 10 is just insane. With this type of change I like I said, it could be easier and probably even more legal and such. Not an expert but We'll see with the changes in their licence over time.
I'm looking forward to kick some console peasant ass with my keyboard and mouse while they struggle with their gamepads. Muwhahaahha. On a serious note, I'm happy about this, more players in games overall. The more we are in games the more fun we have...and less waiting for a match.
a way to fix this by his own term is to stop contributing... bravo ??? Shouldn't he contribute more instead...that would be better instead of the "fuck it, I quit" attitude
For users who bristle at the thought of another Internet company tracking them, Twitter offered a few options. Users can uncheck the box next to "promoted content" in their privacy settings and Twitter will not match their account to information shared by its partners for tailoring ads, Twitter said...
This should be THE solution if people don't want to be track but...
The company did not say, however, whether it would still hold on to users' data for other purposes.
that I'm not surprised so.. just browse in incognito if your that afraid or if its general browsing, just use a free web proxy. They don't offer ultra speed but to remain annonymous, they are very good
We have the technology, power, ressources to track anyone and anything anywhere in the world...including USA and other countries and we can be more powerfull and more advanced than we are right now. I'm not afraid of that...contrairy, I adapt to it and that's not the problem. I'm more afraid of the person or people behind that power. We're talking about the people in the military and the current government. It's not a surprise or secret that lots of those stories are about corruption.
Take the analogy of a gun. The gun remains a gun and can be a tool of authority and defence and power to peace... put that in the wrong hands and you have yourself a mass murderer and a completely different story
Not really as the people who takes decisions ignored it. the workers under did say and did everything he could. That person has nothing to do with it... besides, you can call it a prank as everything would be a maskarade..if you read my post carefully
I often found that when someone doesn't want to listen to you and you know what you have to say is important, then the solution to it is create more noise until your heard.
In your case, which would be very risky as you "could" lose your job but at this point I would do it since no one wants to listen, its to create a problem LIVE and let the company go in nightmare mode.
To be more precise, let them think a hacker got all the info off of one of the vulnerable issues and because of that they got some sensitive information..just don't let them know its not true. Let them think it's real and let them freak out a bit.
Then, after they freak out, calm them down and explain how to fix it...at that point, they will listen and undertand your issue...some people are just plain fucking idiots. That especially happens on the higher end of a company, its like they live on another planet and only looks at numbers and statistics only.

If you think that design is what a company needs to win loyalty you're wrong. Thats not what made Apple famous let say.

cause the same people will probably say that Golf is sport rather than a game... lol

To my understanding, LED when the color is black should require less or no power
"Windows as a service" sounded like a good idea in 2015,
From where did you get that idea seriously ?
So if I own a mazda and I go against the law (code rules mostly like getting too much tickets) can they make me stop using their "service" (their cars). I don't get the logic behind this.
and the company I work for still uses fax tor receive them. ;/

"The government agencies didn’t immediately respond to faxes seeking comment" WHAT ? lol

Welcome to /. ... I'm used to it lol
Would be nice to know who modded me so I can rate or evaluate him with his argument
