  1. Re: Always been doing it on Spotify Is Now Selling Your Information To Advertisers (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    My Android is like that too. Once I installed bigtincans adfree. I don't get Spotify ads. It simply skips a song.

  2. I deleted mine after the VPN witch hunt. The Canadian Netflix had nothing of value to watch. Maybe updated with new stuff quarterly. Any time I searched for something they didn't have it. Went back to torrents.

  3. Re: Man, animation must _really_ be evil then. on Pixels Are Driving Out Reality (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's more than the CGI although its a HUGE part of it. It's the pace of the film, the story the over acting. I too watch older movies because it's all really happening, they haven't sped it up, they haven't added shaking camera tactics to make it seem more crazy. It's just the actors performing. Still love Jackie Chan movies for this reason.

    Exactly! We all know that 1 guy who buys a new setup every 6 months then proceeds to tell you about every part he selected and why it is superior.

  5. They do that all the time. Even with pC's every once and a whiletjey try to prevent dualboot. Each OS since probably 7 tries to prevent it. Yet here I am, running Linux on everything.

    Could be downloading from their car. Get their stash for the night then go home.

    That was my first thought too. As a Sysadmin, that should of been a given ages ago. A little amusing though, because up here 90% of who are on the wifi are kids under 10 or elderly.

  8. Everyone scoffed at Russia couple weeks back saying this.

  9. Re: And the price tiers ... on Telecoms Promise 5G Networks If EU Cripples Net Neutrality (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Telus. Been a great company until I tried to upgrade. I still have the email of their corporate escalation team saying "there's a local business that sells used cellphones"

    It's like that in Canada too. I'm holding onto my plan for dear life. I can never upgrade, I can never renew any contract otherwise I lose my primetime plan. 6gb data plan on my phone. All other features, 56 bux. If I renew, I must pay 120 for same plan.

  11. Re: Great on Ubuntu's Unity desktop environment can run in Windows (wordpress.com) · · Score: 1

    Feels like a Hillary/Trump type debate here SystemD/Win10....pick the lesser of 2 evils

  12. Re: No Thank you.... on Ubuntu's Unity desktop environment can run in Windows (wordpress.com) · · Score: 2

    Completely agree. I keep a virtual machine of each Windows OS just in case someone asks "how do you do this". Much easier to just load it up to see. Mind you, after 7 I loaded them up far less because they became less easier to navigate and seem to be forcing people in using a crappy product. 8 with its look that was great for a tablet, terrible for a laptop (until they brought back the start menu). 10 and this non sense of "get the app" can burn in hell. Long live Debian on all my systems since 2002.

  13. When in doubt, time to go old school. War driving for wifi, do your hacking then drive off.

  14. Re: I always quit without notice on Ask Slashdot: Is It Ever OK To Quit Without Giving Notice? · · Score: 1

    Actually it's been a 2 way street. I've had some do the 445 treatment and I've done the not go back because it was a shitty company and found a better one. New company says "can you start tomorrow", I'm not going to say sorry must wait 2 weeks and stick around shitty previous company. I have given the 2 weeks notice before, I've found the company treats you differently once they know you're leaving. Like they lost their leverage against you.

  15. Re: I always quit without notice on Ask Slashdot: Is It Ever OK To Quit Without Giving Notice? · · Score: 2

    Same here. Every job I quit, I just stopped going. I saw that as the equivalent of them saying Friday at 445pm that you're done.

  16. Re: Numbers have NOT been released on Smartphones Lift Samsung To Best Profit In Over Two Years (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Up here in Canada 80% of phones you can buy from a store is CrApple or Samsung. Then the rest, seems they just flooded the market every month with a new device. I was shopping for phones on websites, pg 1 had 4 iPhones 4 Samsung, had to get to page 4 to see a Nexus device.

  17. Re: Easier, faster shopping on Walmart Now Lets You Pay With Phone At All 4,600 US Stores Via Walmart Pay (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Based on having an ex girlfriend work at the local Walmart, they are 3 short because 3 cashiers called in "sick". Just the local store had 100 hrs per week of missed time by employees. She was a cashier, scheduled 10hrs a week then called every day to work.

  18. Re: Nothing new on iPhone 7 To Start at 32GB Storage, Says WSJ (time.com) · · Score: 1

    These "most people" that take 10 million photoa have it all sync'd with Instagram, Facebook, Dropbox. So you still wouldn't need the excessive space, unless you're too lazy to clean out the storage.

  19. Re: Alleviate bandwidth concerns on 73% of Subscribers Would Download Netflix Content, Says Survey (allflicks.net) · · Score: 1

    I agree especially for people with kids who watch the same series over n over n over n over. They could in theory make the files only valid for 30 days before no longer working. Unless you do a sync with Netflix (to make sure you're still an active customer)

    I did. If you shop around you can. Bought a VW Golf Diesel for around 3k. Lots of life in it.

    Majority of young people are graduating with 20-100k of school debt. Then working at BestBuy. Their credit is shot, I work for a local car dealership. The only people who come in to buy new are the Elderly. 50+. They use it for a year, trade it in against the next year's new one. The Millennials drive old run down not fit for the road Honda Accords or moms minivan because they still live at home until they're 30.

    That was my previous job, peanuts and any time you brought up things they would say "be thankful you're employed".

  24. Label it then on Stop Bashing GMO Food, Say 109 Nobel Laureates (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    If it's so safe, label it as GMO like other countries do and let people choose. Any time you have to hide something, there's usually a reason. Simply sell your mutant vegetables cheaper than regular and at Walmart, the weirdos will buy it.

  25. For Apple conspiring to make repairs as much as a new device.
