  1. I had both, got rid of them. All the older shows I enjoyed were vanishing for their own brand of shows. "Exclusive" to Netflix or "Exclusive" to Amazon. I've had Netflix for years for the ability to watch old shows that I can't find on tv. I basically ended up with a server full of shows I enjoy from "pirated" content because they eliminated those shows from their library.

  2. Re: Wish they would update Dark Souls and Bloodbor on PlayStation 4.5 Update Brings HDD Support, PS4 Pro 'Boost Mode' (theinquirer.net) · · Score: 1

    I was actually wondering if it'd do anything for DS3 since their final DLC content comes out in a couple weeks

    Lol "Linux is a shit OS". OK there Windows Fanboy. What distro did you try to use? Mandrake? I can do anything and more on my Linux box with very little effort.

  4. Watch the increase of VPN's in the near future.....O wait*turns on OpenVPN*

  5. Re: but when..... on Streaming TV Sites Now Have More Subscribers Than Cable TV (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't forget, randomly changing your package without telling you. Removing channels (usually the ones you actually watch) putting them in a higher package.

  6. Re: Happy Sunday on Streaming TV Sites Now Have More Subscribers Than Cable TV (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Agreed, I got my Magnum P.I streaming. Sorry, more exciting of a program to watch over Game of Thrones or other rubbish like Breaking Bad.

  7. Re: please do this for all places on More Fast Food Restaurants Are Now Automating (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    They have started the automated touch screens here in town McDicks. Been here a couple months since they announced them. Only person I see use them are staff wiping the dust off them.

  8. Agreed. Give notice, stop coming in. Not like they give you 3 month notice they're firing you.

  9. They did it to themselves on The Videogame Industry Is Fighting 'Right To Repair' Laws (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When you make HUGE price tags to repair items, people are going to repair it themselves. I previously worked for Lenovo/Asus repair depot. To replace an LCD was over $300. Part on eBay is about$60 takes maybe 10 mins depending on the model. So when you flease the customer long enough, they attempt it themselves because the $300+tax or buy a new one for $400. Most think I'll give it a shot for $50.

    Ya cause in the 1900's they were treated fairly

  11. When has it become against the law to tell a girl you are interested in her in the work place? He didn't tie it to her job, nor threaten to fire her. He simply (reading the article) let her know his situation, asked about hers to see if she was game. Now if he was Brad Pitt, she'd be gushing, but was probably an unattractive guy doing it so time to scream harassment.

  12. Re: Not true on Some Recyclers Give Up On Recycling Old Monitors And TVs (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    In Canada they add an "environment fee" when purchasing any tyoe of tv or monitor. Wonder what it does exactly.

  13. Re: dealership only sales and service coming soon? on Used Cars Can Still Be Controlled By Their Previous Owners' Apps (wtkr.com) · · Score: 1

    Do a reset for free? That's a good one. It'll move more towards dealer only ability. Like Audi, need the dealership tools to reset your oil service light.

  14. Re: not too smart on Lost Package Derails Project To Preserve Super Nintendo Games (eurogamer.net) · · Score: 1

    Not surprised. I ordered Cerwin Vega speakers. Used FedEx. 4 ft high boxes......Lost. Then wouldn't pay the claim for over a year.

  15. Was only a matter of time on Apple Will Fight 'Right To Repair' Legislation (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I remember Crapple making it so expensive to repair your phone that it was cheaper to upgrade. Their thoughts.... we'll sell more phones! Now people are fixing their own and Crapple is crying.

  16. Re: trying on Nobody Is Moving, Especially Millennials (nymag.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm also facing the same thing. Apply in big markets. Hear "call us when you're local". Even saying "look, give me a start date and I'll show up". No dice.

  17. Re: This is not rocket science on Is The Tech Industry Driving Families Out of San Francisco? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree. I remember my buddy working there making 250k a year not being able to make it because of the housing costs. He had an easier time finding a 3 million dollar mortgage than an apartment without roommates. Even renting a room was 1-2k

  18. Re: Blacks are sociopaths on College Fires IT Admin, Loses Access To Google Email, Successfully Sues IT Admin For $250K (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If he was fired, they would not give him opportunity to pass along credentials to new person. They'd tell him Friday at 4:59pm to get out and then escort him to the door like a criminal. After said treatment, I wouldn't help them for free either. Without dollar bills, my memory gets veeeeery fuzzy

    My 2006 VW Golf has a functioning tape deck. I use the tape to headphone jack adapter

    I opted out of Windows back in 2002. #Debian never looked back.

  21. Simple fix on the router. Mac address filtering. Poor fridge isn't on the accepted list. Kinda like my "Smart" TV

    I thought the same thing when I saw 25k. Govt? I'd be selling them licenses at 25k a pop.
