  1. And DirectX 12 requires the spyware known as Windows 10.

  2. Disposable? on Disposable Lasers Created Using Inkjet Printer (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why the fuck would anyone create yet another disposable anything? Is there a widespread contagion of viruses caused by unsanitary lasers shared by groups of people?

    We live in a closed system with limited ressources, stop wasting them and turning them into garbage!

  3. Re:Apple on Streaming Surpasses CD Sales At Warner Music (ft.com) · · Score: 1

    Also agreed, as long as we're talking about media files.

  4. Re:Another solution on 'Recommended' Windows 7 Update Is Breaking PCs With ASUS Motherboards (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Microsoft asks more than $100 for their so-called "operating system", so OS X would be worth it even at $200.

  5. It's almost like you're looking for excuses to shit on things.

    At least it's natural materials!

    The picture is printed on top of the CD, but there's always a hole in the middle for some reason.

  9. Re:No more Ad Removal Checkbox? on Streaming Surpasses CD Sales At Warner Music (ft.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not like that checkbox was working anyway.

    Hell, for weeks now I don't even see my posts appear when I click on "submit". They do post but they don't display on my end, I need to reload the damn page. And there's the "Working" status at the bottom that never goes away either...

    You're tied to their proprietary products and codecs.

    If we're talking about music, it's not an "Apple proprietary codec" at all, it's AAC.

    Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is an audio coding standard for lossy digital audio compression. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves better sound quality than MP3 at similar bit rates.

    AAC has been standardized by ISO and IEC, as part of the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 specifications. Part of the AAC known as High Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding (HE-AAC) which is part of MPEG-4 Audio is also adopted into digital radio standards like DAB+ and Digital Radio Mondiale, as well as mobile television standards DVB-H and ATSC-M/H.

    If you have a device that cannot play AAC audio files in 2016, it's time to upgrade. Even an old Nintendo DSi from SEVEN YEARS AGO can play these files.

    Apart from that, I do agree with most of what you said. If Apple continues on their current path, they're doomed. And I say that as a Mac/iPod/iPhone user.

  11. Good thing for us Canadians on Netflix Enables Streaming Quality Control To Reign In Mobile Data Usage (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    And our third-world monthly data caps at first-world prices!

    And how am I supposed to know that it's a typo and not your comprehension of the situation? I'm not psychic.

    I think this just make TheGratefulNet's point ever stronger: you can't trust cops but you can't trust judges even more.

    It doesn't take a genius to figure out what he was doing was dangerous.

    Excuse me, what he was doing? He's the one who got ran into!

    Wentworth Maynard, the victim, was driving in a 55-mile-per-hour zone when 18-year-old Christal McGee crashed into him traveling at 107 miles per hour.

  15. Re:"full-fledged computer" on Life's Too Short For Slow Computers (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    If you use the proper method, i.e. CSS3, it's usually hardware-accelerated. But Javascript frameworks idiots don't want to learn how to code properly.

    I agree, this is totally unfair! My uncle works in a graphene mine and he might lose his job now.

  22. Time travel is a funny thing. You need to wait until somebody build a time machine but then you can go back to before it existed in the first place. It's a chicken-before-the-chicken scenario.
