  2. Re:Can we get them to remove other annoyances? on Microsoft Removes Wi-Fi Sense Feature From Windows 10 Which Shared Your Wi-Fi Password · · Score: 1

    The only reason people have this incorrect belief that Windows 10 is particularly bad (hint: it's not) is because Microsoft was up front about it.

    This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, although I admire how passionate you are about your shilling, Steve. Now put down that chair.

    It also ensures these vulnerabilities will be fixed. I wonder how many undisclosed holes winZIP and winRAR have.

    Which would be none, Wine is not an emulator.

    Sony is doing the same, except they're charging full price for those ports.

  11. Re:A real better headline on Microsoft Stops Xbox 360 Production, Servers To Stay Online · · Score: 1

    There's also the thing where people are paying for those servers via live subscriptions. They can't disconnect them at all even if they wanted to.

  12. Factorio on Microsoft Sending Minecraft To Summer School · · Score: 2

    There should be a factorio: education edition. It would certainly teach kids more about logic and processes than good ole minecraft, also it's more fun.

    No, fire their damage control department, instead. They're doing a terrible job of minimizing the issue.

    Because google even pretending to fight for privacy would be hilariously hypocritical.

  22. Re:When will Mozilla wake up?! on Opera's Ex-CEO Launches Vivaldi 1.0 For Power Users · · Score: 2

    Yet despite this ever-increasing competition, and the ever-dwindling number of Firefox users, we don't see Mozilla making the drastic changes they should be making.

    Which are these changes, by the way? Is it adjusting their interface and functionality to act and feel like chrome? Because that certainly already happened and only served to alienate their loyal userbase further. Mozilla is a non-profit organization which doesn't have Google's marketing behemoth on their side, they rely entirely on word of mouth. Google is the most visited website in the world and can afford to offer a "faster, safer browser!" to everyone visiting their page, even if we know it's complete bullshit, grandma might have no idea that chrome is a spying tool. She might not be aware of the services it runs on startup to make it seem like it's opening her facebook faster, when it's actually just always running.

    So I am completely at a loss as to what Firefox and Mozilla should be doing, besides improving their browser. Maybe they should pull a netscape and sue google for monopolistic practices and whine hard enough so courts prevent google from promoting their product on their webpage.
    Mozila has been comfortably stagnant for the last 10 years and just now are starting to rethink their engine and their practices. If they are to be gone then so be it, plenty of other devs will take their place as it always happens. Perhaps this will allow other free browsers to get some much needed attention.
