  1. Easy, just leave them be. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Handle Hardware That Never Gets Software Updates? (hpe.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Most dedicated systems like this does not belong on the internet, period. So unless there is some flaw or feature need, don't update and it will still work exactly as it did yesterday. And the day before, and the day before that.

  2. Re:personally I prefer notepad just as it is. on Microsoft is Updating Windows Notepad Application For the First Time in Years (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    That just means more people will discover notepad++ and never look back.

  3. Alpha and lossy video compression is tricky at best, since the 'lossyness' of the video and alpha channel would have to match regardless of having very different content and compression efficiency.

  4. The End Is Coming on 128TB SD Cards Are Coming (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    But we might have to wait some billions of years before it does..

  5. Can't be worse then Vegans. on People's Egos Get Bigger After Meditation and Yoga, Says Study (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Nuff said..

  6. The /. title and write-up is plain wrong on Facebook Will Harass You Mercilessly If You Try To Break Up (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    I dislike facebook with a passion, but this /. article is pushing an agenda that has nothing to do with the mentioned article. The article is about how irrelevant and unimportant Facebook notifications really are. Not once does he talk about wanting to limit or prevent messages from facebook, and not being able to do so.

  7. As usual, the answer is.. on The End of Video Coding? (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    No.

  8. Have a bad day, get locked out? on Pentagon-Funded Project Will 'Solve' Cellphone Identity Verification Within Two Years (nextgov.com) · · Score: 1

    So if by chance you are having a bad day with external stress factors changing your daily rutine and behavior, you get locked out? I am sure that will help making an already bad day worse..

  9. Something good from something bad. on New Spectre Attack Can Reveal Firmware Secrets (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Maybe finally we get some insight into the security engine stuff to make it do what we want, instead of what Intel and big corp. in general wants.

  10. It's kinda hard to make an evil AI to take over the world with a clause like that.

  11. Re:If I were Iran I'd just wait it out on Trump Withdraws US From Iran Nuclear Deal (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Trump was elected for president by the American people. So I am afraid the loss of credibility goes a bit further then just the man alone.

  12. Form follows function on Nikola (Motors) is Suing Tesla (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    You want to make an electric truck that is aerodynamic and has good driver viability, chances are it is going to be very similar to any other truck that has been designed with the same goals in mind.

  13. No, there is a word for this already on Ask Slashdot: Do We Need a New Word For Hacking? · · Score: 1

    Instead people (media especially) should take the 20 seconds necessary to learn the proper definition of hacker, and realize they are really talking about crackers when they say hackers.

  14. I bet.. on Google Is Testing a New Chrome UI (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Mozilla will have Firefox out with the new UI even before Goggle does.

  15. Health care should not be a for profit business on 'Is Curing Patients a Sustainable Business Model?' Goldman Sachs Analysts Ask (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Period. This is probably a big reason why public health care on average is so much better then US in large parts of the world, and especially Europa.

  16. Wait, let me get this straight. on The Long, Slow Demise of Credit Card Signatures Starts Today (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    you have a direct link to your bank account in your wallet, that if lost or stolen anybody can use? No pin, no nothing. Man.. I guess you really are the land of the brave..

  17. Trouble with the latest Service Pack.. on Microsoft Discovers Blocking Bug and Delays the Release of Windows 10 Spring Creators Update (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Ohh sorry.. I meant "Spring Creators Update".

  18. Hey! It worked for Juicero on 'High Definition Vinyl' Is Coming As Early As Next Year (pitchfork.com) · · Score: 1

    I am sure it will work for vinyl also..

  19. Speech is not the same as action on Reddit Continues To Protect Racist Language In Favor of Free Speech (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Free speech was kinda considered a big deal by some important people in the past. If you start cherry picking what is considered free speech based on you local ideology or even worse political goals, then what is left is not really free speech is it. Free speech has to be both good and bad to work. And with free speech eroding on the internet and in general, what is next? Tought police?

  20. If it's not broken, don't 'fix' it. on Firefox Follows Chrome and Blocks the Loading of Most FTP Resources (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    FTP is an old and established protocol. And when is the last time you hard it causing major security problems? Seriously, this is breaking just for the sake of breaking stuff..

  21. Call it was it is. on Tesla Says Autopilot Was Engaged During Fatal Model X Crash (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The current Tesla system is not an autopilot, calling it that is part of what is causing these accidents. At best it is an form of advanced driving assistant.

  22. Welcome to the club on Microsoft Is 'Demoting' Windows for the Cloud, Says CNN (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    "Microsoft has actually been moving away from Windows and more towards the cloud, analytics and AI for the past ten years,"

    Welcome to the club buddy, you are not the only one moving away from Windows. Not so sure about that cloud thing tho.

  23. Was the extinction natural? on Should We Revive Extinct Species? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Then obviously no. But if it was caused by human intervention like over hunting etc, then obviously yes.

  24. I needed a reminder that I haven't donated to Kodi in a while. And donation.. done.

  25. If they can, then everybody can. on Justice Department Revives Push To Mandate a Way To Unlock Phones (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    A simple fact that somehow seem to be very, very hard for some to understand. Or maybe that just don't want to understand it?
