Wasnâ(TM)t it just weeks ago when a Slashdot article was proclaiming Trump is causing a brain drain with techies fleeing to Canada? And they are all reversing course within weeks?
You seem confused. SJWs want people to treat others with respect BECAUSE of their sex, skin colour, social class, ethnicity, language, self-identification or any other characteristic not directly related to the work. Meanwhile, sane people are telling them to fuck off and that they will continue their merit-based approach.
You managed to miss the part where nearly every business on the planet exists to profit off someoneâ(TM)s hardship or desire. Grocey stores? Plumbers? You bet.
Will care about repairability of the new iPad exactly as much as they did before. As in, ânot giving a flying fuckâ. This idea that the western world is supposedly filled with large organizations that repair their hardware is quite hilarious. In the real world and especially in large organizations NOBODY does that.
First they DELIBERATELY weaken the Skype architecture to make it easier for various 3-letter agencies to eavesdrop on Skype calls and now we are supposed to trust they have their users best interest on their mind? Yeah, right. Without access to the source code, why would anyone sane consider the implementation to NOT be broken-by-design?
Boy are you in for a shock when you go out and actually meet normal people. They DESPISE the idea of a desktop computer and many indeed prefer browsing on a phone over using "that ugly and slow box".
Therein lies your problem: you are a software developer. Vast majority of people use computers for utterly menial tasks for which they simply do not actually need a computer. Most people are not âcomputing creatorsâ, creators that can appreciate what a full computer offers are a tiny minority.
is that this comes from a representative of a profession thatâ(TM)s ought to be outlawed due to itâ(TM)s lack of net positive contribution to humankind - an economist.
The fact that it still exists merely illustrates how badly nerds misunderstand what matters in business survival. As for why Equifax still has any customers, the reason is not corruption and is very simple - the average person is dumb as a brick.
In most civilized countries, taxes are widthheld from the paycheck, so in most cases you get a small automatic refund sometime later (unless you grossly understated your estimated income and end up owing taxes despite then being widthheld). Receiving a full taxes due bill in one go sounds like a recipe for total disaster.
For me, it's not that Airpods are expensive. It's that they are UNCOMFORTABLE. Apple earbuds in general hurt my ears. I much prefer the type of earbuds that use gels (such as Skullcandy).
I actually agree with you. I personally tried out Airpods and ended up getting Beats X instead. Those fit me right ouf the box and come with a set of FOUR replacement eartips of different size.
No it fucking doesnâ(TM)t, so stop with the BS. Yes, its true that cheapass bluetooth headpones are bad. Buy the good ones, of which there are many, instead. As more and more people move to wireless, their price will continue to go down. It was pretty hilarious to read about how the Airpods were supposedly âexpensiveâ. Apple literally came in and ate everybodyâ(TM)s lunch. Wireless headphones that used to cost $400 are now $200-250 all of a sudden because Apple forced other manufacturers to respond. Yes, I get that you want your âgood enoughâ headphones for $20 and these are not far away any longer.
If you have developed bittorrent, you could succesfully argue that you have a general purpose tool that CAN be used for unlawful purposes and you walk away. When you develop a tool whose ONLY purpose is illegal in most jurisdictions, well... good luck with that. In case thatâ(TM)s still news to somebody: âfacilitationâ or âenablingâ is an actual crime in many places. Yes, little details matter.
Not sure if you noticed it, but you are basically saying global corporations increase standards of living everywhere they go. Your attempt to make them look like the bad guys is backfiring spectacularly.
This is 2017. How many years of support do you expect from Apple and what is this expectation based on when taking into account policies of all other hardware manufacturers?
Slashdot Mirror
People can't deal with trivial UAC prompts because they don't understand what's being asked of them and you are suggesting THIS?

Where was your outrage when Obama did the exact same thing?

Yes, lossless AAC would like to have a word with you.

So why not just buy a dumbphone then?

ZFS wants to live in a fairly specific configuration. It wants a bunch of drives, a bunch of memory, and not much competition for system resources.
Except for the part where it works with 2 drives, on a system with 4GB of RAM and under constant heavy load just fine.
Of course heâ(TM)s ignoring the addiction as the addiction itself is not particularly harmful. Vast majority of damage comes from the byproducts.
Antitrust? Microsoftâ(TM)s position in the world of computing is at itâ(TM)s weakest in decades.

âBluetooth continues to suckâ.

Because Apple is betting the farm on their reputation as protectors of users privacy and SO FAR there has been no indication they have been lying.
Jamming communications that allow contacting emergency services lands you straight in federal prison.

Because it's incredible how stupid this whole thing has been.
How can anyone be this bad at their core business?
the "free market" at work: screwing over ordinary people because who's going to stop them?
You misspelled "government protected racket".
