  1. Is anybody suprised though? on Magic Leap Finally Demoed Its Headset And It Is 'Disappointing' (digg.com) · · Score: 1

    The headline might as well read "Magic Leap Finally Demoed Its Headset And It Is 'Disappointing' [to the Surprise of Absolutely Nobody]"

  2. Hola has been shat on for a number of issues over the years. Anybody still using it pretty much deserves to have this happen to them.

  3. This is the 2nd or 3rd time today I've seen somebody mention "creimer". Could somebody bring me into this loop that I'm way out of?

  4. PUBG is made by Tencent... they're Chinese on US Gaming Giant Steam Has Managed To Skirt China's Strict Regulations on Content (theinformation.com) · · Score: 1

    The irony has not gone unnoticed...

  5. Their limitations are lame on Netflix is Testing a New 'Ultra' Tier of Service (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Why allow a user to create 5 different accounts (or is it 4?) if you can only view it on 1 or 2 screens using their basic/standard services? If you're going to lock it down, lock it down as 1 screen per family member.

  6. I thought the same thing. Both sentences were way off. They should have really explained how they managed to squeeze that statement out of the sentence...

  7. Companies need to fuck right off with monthly fees. $700 is pretty fuckin' nuts for a license, but as a one-time purchase, whatever. But tacking monthly fees onto that? I hope the people that came up with the idea live a life of eternal debt and monthly fee hell.

  8. What is there to sell? on BitTorrent is Selling For $140M To Justin Sun and Tron (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    I don't understand - BT is an open-source protocol... what the hell are they selling?

  9. Meh, I appreciate it... I only usually read Slashdot like once a day, so this was still new news to me. I haven't skimmed Reddit much yet today.

  10. Re:Bazinga! on Ex-CIA Employee Charged In Major Leak of Agency Hacking Tools (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Username checks out!

  11. I like this idea... on Chinese City Gets 'Smartphone Zombie' Walkway (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It keeps the slowest traffic off to the side, and if you trip into somebody walking slowly because they're on their phone, they've got no excuse.

  12. Yes, and the genre got its name from the movie "Battle Royale" which came out sometime around 2000.

  13. Didn't NPM fuck up a while ago as well? on NPM Fails Worldwide With 'ERR! 418 I'm a Teapot' Error (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    IIRC there was something wonky with their Github page a few months ago (maybe last year) that caused a bunch of trouble.

  14. Can I apply for the reviewer position? on Facebook Asks British Users To Submit Their Nudes as Protection Against Revenge Porn (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I need to make sure people aren't trying to pull a fast one by submitting photoshops or pictures of people that aren't them.

  15. Re:I feel sorry for you streaming-media people on Comcast Confirms Plan To Buy 21st Century Fox and Control of Hulu (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It won't be an issue until they try to ramp up the cost of Hulu, then people will ditch it and go back to pirating.

  16. What do they have to lose if they don't block the site? They stop sending any legit videos their way and forces them to pirate everything?

  17. Re:Never understood the appeal of password manager on A Bug in Keeper Password Manager Leads To Sparring Over 'Zero-Knowledge' Claim (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    1. It's much easier to remember one, secure password than it is to try to remember multiple secure passwords
    2. Some password managers are decentralized and offline. You can keep your password book off the internet if you wanted.

  18. Re:That's head to the Arctic on Russia Launches Floating Nuclear Power Plant That's Headed To the Arctic (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    "That's" as in "that has" not "that is". The headline actually isn't wrong... they could just as well have said "Russian Floating Powerplant Has Head to the Arctic"

  19. Canada should put US on Data Security watchlist on US Keeps China, Puts Canada on IP Priority Watch List (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Canada should put US on Data Security watchlist... considering their shady as fuck snooping laws and practices.

  20. Because "Chat" was just the fancy name they gave to RCS, which (to my knowledge). I don't think they really have anything to do with that... they just provided a convenient package for carriers to use to get RCS implemented. By that same logic, should we use the same case due to the fact that their Messages app uses SMS which is also completely devoid of encryption and security?

  21. How should we react to that headline? on Marissa Mayer is Back (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Because I laughed and asked what she's going to fuck up next...

  22. What law did he break, exactly? on 19-Year-Old Archivist Charged For Downloading Freedom-of-Information Releases (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    If the documents were public-facing, what law did he break? I'm honestly confused, and I hope this goes up the chain of government to be sorted out.

  23. They haven't deleted shit... they've just deactivated them. They're also still going to be tracked via FB API on other websites.

  24. Too late for that... and how could they do it? on Sheryl Sandberg: Users Would Have To Pay To Opt Out of Facebook Ads (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    the only other option would be to have users pay for the service so they could keep their data to themselves

    1. Facebook has already given a massive amount of data over to advertisers already. Even if I start paying now, it's already too late.

    2. Facebook keeps shadow profiles on non-users, so how exactly would a non-user pay Facebook to protect their data? They'd have to sign up for FB...

  25. FTFY on Slashdot Asks: Should Android OEMs Adopt the iPhone's Notch? · · Score: 1

    Should Android OEMs Adopt the DESIGN WORKAROUND needed by the iPhone?

    No. Fuck off with this notch bullshit.
