  1. Re: Popcorn on Hackers Are Passing Around a Megaleak of 2.2 Billion Records (wired.com) · · Score: 0

    obligatory XKCD karma whoring repost #89127439817

  2. Lot of weblkit browsers. Bugs me they keep calling it Chromium when the engine is Blink.

  3. Microsoft is the perfect company to solve this on Microsoft Will Spend $500M To Address Affordable Housing and Homelessness in the Seattle Region (geekwire.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    They are experts if you need a place to crash.

    I'd have figured it would be on a long fox news magazine type show with a dedicated block of time. It's not like any of those outlets aren't employing a fairly decent sized journalist staff. When you're comparing news sources with agendas I think clickbait is maybe a little better than an elaborate scheme of propaganda dreamed up long before I was alive. Fox news has always been garbage and at least nice to see they had a plan and went through with it. Evil genius is still genius.

  5. Re:Embedded sytems and non-phone devices on Taiwan To Shut Down 3G Networks By Year End (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I feel like you're trying to rain on everyone's parade of living in the US and giving out excuses for issues that boil down to companies having been too cheap to make infrastructure improvements or replace long since antiqued systems.

  6. Integrate with Google+ on Disney's New Netflix Rival Will Be Called Disney+, Launch Late 2019 (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    If it does, count me in.

  7. Nothing says present like pick out your own stuff on a shared income and then opening it.

  8. They did the same thing they do with other bugs. Give them 90 days to fix it and disclose 7 days after it is patched, whichever comes first. It's hard to say they are being unfair or aggressive since it is the exact same time window they have for anything else. It's not google's responsibility to hold on to the release beyond 7 days because Epic asks them for more time to ensure everything is long since patched.

  9. QC is independent of what the plug type is. I have USB-C and Micro-B USB phones that use QC3.

  10. Re:What about fixing the student loan risk? on LeBron James Opens STEM-Based School For At-Risk Students In Ohio (sbnation.com) · · Score: 2

    I say the same thing when people buy me dinner. If you aren't going to fund me all the way through dessert it is going to be a fruitless endeavor.

  11. Re:Prime is not worth it. on Amazon Suffers Glitches at the Start of Prime Day (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    That'll work great if you have Amazon Fresh in your area.

  12. Re:Who gives a shit on Instagram is Down [Updated] · · Score: 1

    It was probably directly related to the Slashdot effect with its droves of viewers hitting it simultaneously.

  13. Re:Moscow Donald - History's pee smellingist trait on That Tablet On The Table At Your Favorite Restaurant Is Hurting Your Waiter (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 0

    I wouldn't necessarily say rude, but I don't necessarily think it would be my first conversation piece at TGI Fridays.

  14. Re:Is it inconceivable that they were just listeni on Uber Driver Was Streaming Hulu Just Before Fatal Self-Driving Car Crash, Says Police (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Informative
    I'd say the video footage of them driving and spending maybe 10% of the time looking not down at the their phone would be somewhat proof.

    “This crash would not have occurred if Vasquez would have been monitoring the vehicle and the roadway conditions and was not distracted,” investigators wrote. Police said Vasquez “was distracted and looking down” for 31 percent of the nearly 22 minutes before the crash, including 5.2 of the last 5.7 seconds.

  15. I could understand if it were Rick and Morty, but not The Voice.

  16. Re:Fish Evade Predators... on Mature Fish Are Found In Deeper Water Because of Humans (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It didn't surprise me because I went to ArsTechnica two weeks ago.

  17. Re:NBC buys FOX? on Comcast Says It Isn't Throttling Heavy Internet Users Anymore (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Fox News and Fox Sports are not part of the deal.

  18. Scratching my head there too. PowerPC to Intel is all I can think of.

  19. Those tricky Nigerian princes were hiding 4000 miles south of Nigeria the whole time! Who'da thunk it?

    Anonymous Coward has a history of this behavior.

  21. Around the time they redid the site and CSS to be more modern. 2010-2011 if i remember right.

    Moto X is hardly bloated on software. Moto Actions and Moto Display are really light experiences and something I'd prefer over stock. I use Essential PH-1 which is less bloated than either the Pixels or the Moto X4 Android One phones.

    I think this is kind of like the good press Theranos is seeing.

    I think you got a lemon port somehow. This is not typical and expecting your replacement to be junk is superstition on your end. The ports are by no means cheap in quality or cost. Get it replaced and stop making your personal laptop experience that is a fluke or fabrication part of this. Back to Facebook and CEO's going at each other.

  25. Re:Do Not Want on Apple Is Letting Companies Make 3.5mm To Lightning Cables Now (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty pumped up to get USB C to Lightning cables from Anker just having bought an iPhone. I got 3 3' cables from another supplier for cheaper than what Apple charges for one, but generally I'd prefer something from a company I know isn't going to ass up my wiring and make my phone/tablet/etc no longer function. As is, the companies that make great third party stuff under MFI certification program aren't making them.

    If you're in a Best Buy you probably shouldn't be on slashdot.
