  1. Re:Does the AI know fear... on Video Games Are So Realistic That They Can Teach AI What the World Looks Like (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly what an A.I. would say, Mr. 110010001000. I'm watching you.

  2. We need a version for data protection. on The USB Kill Stick, Priced at $56, Is Designed To Destroy Laptops, PCs, TVs (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    The last design I examined back in 2015 used an inverting DC-DC converter. The converter would take power from the USB port to charge a capacitor bank up to -110VDC, and dumps it in the data pins, and repeats until there is no longer power to the bus. This is how it bypasses/destroys any TVS diodes.

    I would love to have a version with a hidden switch to change between data storage and kill, that destroys the data along with the computer it is plugged in to.

    Imagine the look on the thief's face when he plugs it in.

    Or the TSA, since they seem to have a thing for rummaging through your shit. I bet you could even warn them and they would laugh it off and plug it in anyways.

  3. Re:News reporting creates cognitive biases on Dutchman Dies in Tesla Crash; Firefighters Feared Electrocution (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    My 1970s shitbox must be safe, I've never seen any news stories about people dying in it!

  4. Why, of all things, do we care about how thin a gaming console is? Or care about small differences in weight?

    When was the last time you were thinking "This thing is great, but it could be so much better if I had an extra few inches of space all around it and was a little lighter!"?

    I'd rather it be larger and have better cooling.

    So, you think he is a hero for betraying his country.

    It isn't exactly betrayal when they cast the first stone.

    Say we have a legally binding contract. Between you and over 300 million people. And you break said contract, regularly. How is it betraying you to let everybody else know that you have broken our contract and should not be trusted?

    The massive prick is holed up in Russia. He really needs to get a sense of perspective.

    He is "holed up in Russia" because the United States government decided to revoke his passport and trap him in the Moscow airport. It wasn't his intention to stay in Russia.

    I'm always amazed when people are quick to demonize Snowden for breaking laws but defend what he exposed: Massive government corruption and disregard for the law.

    I really can't wait for the autonomous vehicle rally races.

    Sounds pretty boring to be honest. Then again I'm in the "BRING BACK GROUP B! QUATTRO NOW!" camp.

  12. Re:Other IM services on Revived Lawsuit Says Twitter DMs Are Like Handing ISIS a Satellite Phone (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    So they hold Twitter responsible, but not Skype (Microsoft), Yahoo, AOL, or any of the other companies that offer IM-type or bulletin board type services where information can be passed? Hell - with a little planning, a Wikipedia article edit could be used as a communication channel, not to mention the talk portion where editing an article is discussed. Or even Slashdot - read at -1 and find your messages for the Kettle Run on the next anniversary.

    Why stop there? Sue ICANN.

  13. I love the Nexus 5. I've literally thrown it at a rock before (Accidentally, if that makes sense) and concrete, no damage at all (Though I am using a rubber/plastic case).

    The camera is a complete potato, but aside from that it still works perfectly. The camera is the only reason I would ever want to upgrade.

  14. Thanks for being the only person to respond with a source, I had assumed it would be something about the semi-recent shootings that had BLM upset that involved the suspect pointing a gun at police.

    [quote]The North Miami cop who shot an unarmed man trying to calm a patient with autism hit him accidentally, [/quote]

    Hah, I'm sure he just accidentally put his finger on the trigger and pulled it. Sureee.

    Now this is the kind of thing that should be on the news everywhere and get people upset.

    Like the other officer that accidentally shot somebody climbing out of a rolled over SUV in the neck and killed him. And then picked up the bullet casings.

    make sure the team down there stays away from any perfectly spherical objects they might run across. That tends to lead to bad outcomes in underwater habitats.

  18. You can remove a lot of the vertical space by moving the bookmarks in the customize menu to the right of the menu bar, if you have the menu bar enabled. I can't stand using firefox without doing this.

    I've never had a problem with cpu usage, though it loves to eat 4+GB of ram. I have a feeling this is just shitty javascript on the websites I frequent, as I've had 100+ tabs open before without this happening.

    Build one!

    I've been working on a few designs in Eagle. Until then, I tossed my stereo in the trash and got a small 1/2 DIN equalizer and plugged a cheap bluetooth dongle into the back (RCA plugs), run it into a small amp and out to the speakers. Works great.
