  1. Great comeback on UK Snooper's Charter To Extend Police Access To Phone and Internet Data (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It has been developed in response to the disclosure of state mass surveillance programmes by the whistleblower Edward Snowden.

    So their answer to state mass surveillance programmes is more state mass surveillance programmes?

    People: Hey guys, we're sinking!
    Government: Let's pump more water into the boat!

  3. Re:Intel sucks at SSDs on Google-Backed SSD Endurance Research Shows MLC Flash As Reliable As SLC (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    That particular problem with the 530 Series has been known for years.

    Intel says it's a problem with Macs.
    Apple says it's a problem with the drive.

  4. All I know is that even Intel can't even make a decent SSD. The first SSD I bought was their Intel SSD 530 Series 120GB and I've never been able to use the damn thing. I've tried it on two computers, a Mac mini 2010 and a DIY PC with a recent motherboard, and in both of them the drive just won't boot after a warm reset. Even after all these years, Intel hasn't published a firmware upgrade to fix the problem.

    Actually if you remove the students, there's no University either. The students should be paid the most, followed by the professors.

  11. Re:What is well and unknown where? on Raspberry Pi 3 Brings Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 1

    Considering the price difference, the only thing that comes close to the ESP8266 is the Arduino Pro mini clones from China.

    But you're right, compared to the Raspberry Pi, the ESP8266 is tiny. It's all relative.

  12. Re:What is well and unknown where? on Raspberry Pi 3 Brings Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 2

    The ESP8266 isn't that tiny. It's still a lot better than the ATmega328P used on a basic Arduino and you see tons of people make projects with those. Sure it doesn't have as much I/O pins, DACs, etc but for the CPU/RAM part, it's way better.

    ATmega328:
    8-bit AVR RISC-based CPU running at 20 MHz (16 MHz on Arduino)
    32 KiB flash memory for instructions, 1 KiB EEPROM, 2 KiB SRAM

    ESP8266:
    32-bit RISC CPU running at 80 MHz
    64 KiB of instruction RAM, 96 KiB of data RAM

    And you think I care what you think? I simply write short Slashdot comments because I don't have time for anything more, nor are people reading long-winded comments that lead to nowhere. If you measure the intellectual capabilities of someone by the length of the texts they write, you're a fool.

  17. Election monitoring? on Google Releases Project Shield To Fight Against DDoS Attacks (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    So, what if they "just happen" to have problems on their own end while the original website is being DDoS'ed?

    People will say "look at the election numbers, Trump is still at the top" while the true numbers just aren't being updated because of the "technical problems" on Google's end. It's a new service after all, there's bound to be some problems. After all, the people working there are only human.
