Lol, ok buddy. You seem to have some pretty strong views about this. And as far as the community going back to however you percieve it to have been in whatever golden age, well, wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which one fills up first. Change with the times, or they will leave you behind. Period, the end.
Actually, "we" have been here since the 90s, and whatever sad entitlement or privillege you feel you deserve which means you don't have to follow basic standards of comportment, I got news for you: you are entitled to nothing and the future is making it clear it doesn't want you. Go cry somewhereabout how unfair life is.
If you can behave to the standards which would be required in literally any professional workplace in 2018, you don't need to be involved. If you can't do that, there are plenty of forums to write angry posts about SJWs while you wrote your own OS.
I just think it's great that the american taxpayer can foot the bill for an objective idiot to play out his mercantilist fantasies in advance of his pending resignation/removal from office. More dumbass bullshit, just like with his trillion dollar welfare check to the 1%.
So, you're a descendant of slaves, right? I mean, you certainly wouldn't be a pretentious white snowflake telling others how they should feel and ironically upset at words?
I don't know. On the one hand we can say that this is the result of "feel good but do nothing" culture taken too far. On the other hand, slavery is pretty fricking gross.
I really just don't know, but I guess in the larger context of life it seems like a pretty dumb thing for me to care about. Being upset about changing the terminology, that is.
And even if the tool is evil incarnate, that does not mean possession of it is a crime.
Tell you what. Carry around a set of lock picks with you and see what happens if you get noticed by the police. Be sure to have this quote printed out for them.

Damn son, there you go with the logic. It's just that people don't like this dude, not that humans are humans wherever you go, and isolated pockets of humanity are demonstrably prone to feedback loops. No, rather than accept a different perspective, best to just assume that there's something unlikeable about this person who wrote you a totally reasonable response detailing his perspective and experience.
As charming as your condescension is, I have been a _daily_ reader since 2001. I just never wanted to post, hence the UID. Frankly, if you think/. was always like this, I think it's *you* who is new here.
Seriously. It was never like this before. This was never a place where we had to debate objective facts, and not a place where reality was subject to political opinion. It is bots? Is it trolls? Is it that the demographics of the technology, engineering,and scientifically inclined have changed so much?
I know buddy. You believe your right to pollute is greater than my right to not breathe the stink of your offgassing. Fortunately, that's where government steps in. How frustrating it must be for you to know that this is another emtpy and meaningless gesture by Orange Santa Claus and that even I spite of regulatory capture will amount to nothing. Such a salty little conservative!
But that's like saying da Vinci never came up with another Mona Lisa-type painting. The release of the iPhone is up there with the founding of Standard Oil as one of the greatest business moves of all time.
I guess no one suggested just not rebooting the machine unless the user asks? I'm going to that not having 2 GB monolithic monthly patches that take 30 minutes to install was also off the table.
According to this February article from the CBC, the average price of a detached home in Toronto is Feb. 2018 was $1,283,981 CAD. The internet tells me this is roughly $983K USD.
So, I question that this current tech boom in Toronto has anything to do with cheap and available housing. (Since, you know, like most urban professionals, the first thing I am looking for in a house in 2018 is an acre of horse property.)
especially since this sort of feature is becoming the norm across more and more Apple (and non-Apple) products these days

No. Stop right there. This is not the norm in any laptop from any manufacturer. I challenge you to name me a single laptop vendor who is soldering the NVMe drive to the motherboard rather than using the industry-standard m.2 slot. You can't because there's aren't any
I have experienced multiple NVMe disk failures on laptops I manage, I have also experience board failures of systems using NVMe disks. In the first case, it is a negligible repair taking minutes, in the second case, equally easy to pop out the drive, mount it in a PCIe bridge card, and grab the data off.
Stop trying to normalize this latest instance of apple's short-sided thinking, which appears to be driven by only one "long term" goal, that is to say replacement of hardware with new garbage the second it dies even a minute out of warranty.
The fact that you try to reduce this down to a "huhr duhr poer users need backups" argument is preposterous.

I know, damn that evil Ron Wyden. He should follow the example of the white hosue who campaigned on email security.
I absolutely agree. We should especially investigate these transgressions by the white house considering they campaigned on email security.

No one cares about your meritocracy or your feelings. If you can't behave professionally, then get out. No one wants you in the workplace.

Well if an Anonymous poster on slashdot says it with no facts or further detail, it must be true!
So, you're a descendant of slaves, right? I mean, you certainly wouldn't be a pretentious white snowflake telling others how they should feel and ironically upset at words?
Reductio ad absurdum.
I mean, dude... This is kind of the textbook definition of a strawman. I know I should lower my expectations on today's slashdot, but damn.
I don't know. On the one hand we can say that this is the result of "feel good but do nothing" culture taken too far. On the other hand, slavery is pretty fricking gross.

I want more detail on this "5 trllion operations per second". Considering the GTX 1080 is a 9 teraflop card , I am pretty skeptical that the A12 is pushing ~60% of that.

You must be new here.

ANYONE still using Windows 10 is getting exactly what they deserve.

And by that, of course, you mean anyone who has wanted to purchase new hardware for their organization in the last several years?
