  1. We need the mandatory XKCD reference here :)

  2. Re:All cryptocurrencies and ICOs are scams on Investors Have Placed $1 Billion in Cryptocurrency Offerings Rampant With Red Flags For Fraud (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, insightful rant it is.

  3. Re:"I'm not that familiar with Android" on New Navigation App 'Live Roads' Promises 1.5m-Accuracy With Standard Cellphone Hardware (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    In that case the sentence more likely would read "not familiar with smartphones".

  4. Re:Do you really think they'd tell you? on Ask Slashdot: What Does Your Data Mean To Google? (google.com) · · Score: 2

    Most of my e-mails come or go to @gmail.com, so running my own e-mail server is almost useless.

  5. Re:I got a ZIP file on Ask Slashdot: What Does Your Data Mean To Google? (google.com) · · Score: 2

    This list is missing your tracked browsing history. For Android users there is GPS tracking history and call and SMS history.

  6. Re:Who Cares About Adapters? on Apple Is Letting Companies Make 3.5mm To Lightning Cables Now (9to5mac.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    People who bought those Lightning headphones would have to get a USB-C to Lightning adapter, as well.

    Don't worry. They will be happy whatever Apple does.

  7. Re:Kanboard on Ask Slashdot: Best To-Do/Task List Software? · · Score: 1

    Trello.com webpage and apps suit this list as well.

  8. Re:Trello on Ask Slashdot: Best To-Do/Task List Software? · · Score: 1

    I use Trello as well for my personal TODO and many other collaborated lists. I only use it for throwaway data though (assumption is you never need to search archived items).

  9. Or they made a nice publicity stunt. Would you have heard of the game otherwise?

  10. Re:Dramatic is the right word. on Google's Next Android Overhaul Will Embrace iPhone's 'Notch' (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I want my next mobile phone to have a bezel. My old HTC One Mini 2 has two non-glass bars both at top and bottom, also the glass does not touch the sides. I have dropped it numerous times, the glass never broke. I hope there will be options with modern CPUs when it's time to upgrade.

  11. Well, that's weird. How would they know I am tethering? Except for TTL values, windows call-home requests etc, but this is none of their business. My guess would be "tethering" plans just include more data.

  12. Re:Counter question on Would You Use a Smartphone-Style Laptop With a Three-Day Battery Life? (king5.com) · · Score: 1

    No, please no. It's 2.5 times faster (see more expesive on link below). If you feel the need, then it could also be 150% faster. http://qrc.depaul.edu/bbeck/mi...

  13. As for those 1000 individuals it would make sense to act as a central bank and sell bitcoins in smaller amounts would both help cool it down and make a fortune in process. No idea how if it wouldn't actually help tank the price (but given the size of the bubble, probably not).

  14. Bittorrent has historical value on Not Even Free TV Can Get People To Stop Pirating Movies and TV Shows (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Nowadays pretty much everyone is streaming or using some other about-to-be bankrupt service (sooner or later they all will cease to exists). I am wondering if we aren't going to loose huge amounts of our cultural history this way.

  15. Re:/.ers clearly disagree OrangeTide FAKE name on System76 Will Disable Intel Management Engine On Its Linux Laptops (liliputing.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I didn't know people like this existed. Until today. I feel like being extremely privileged.

  17. Re:Thinkpad or bust on Ask Slashdot: Which Laptop Has The Best Keyboard? · · Score: 2

    That's the reason why I still keep my W520, the last non-island keyboard out there.

  18. Re:Why are phiching emails not blocked on Security Firm Creates Chatbot To Respond To Scam Emails On Your Behalf (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You can set up filters according to tags or domains. Why are you even on /.?

  19. Just wondering on Farmers In India Are Using AI To Increase Crop Yields (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    I am wondering what happens when the "AI" suggestion turns out worse than the regular gut feeling. Gut feeling most likely spread the sowing on slightly wider time so not everyone would have bad harvest on the same year. Now we can mostly win but at times terribly fail (in case everyone followed the suggestions which the summary does not imply).

  20. Re:Depends on what factors you use on Is Amazon Lowering The Global Rate of Inflation? (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    The kind of comment which keeps me coming back to /.

  21. Re:Totally Agree! on Why Are There So Many Knobs in Audio Software? (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    LADSPA plugins, anyone? With 10 horizontal sliders? No, thanks.

  22. Re:Simple solution on Could Technology Companies Solve Traffic Congestion? (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    To make this even economically viable from person's point of view, is to have road tax at rush hours. If the tax is high enough some people probably would reschedule their lives. All cars could have GPS chips or main roads could have toll stops with plate readers (if it's too soon for 1984).

  23. Re:It's got to get smarter on Spotify Continues To Grow Faster Than Apple Music Thanks To Free Tier (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    Discover weekly has served me well. I used to listen to the whole playlist a few times and then added the best songs to my songs library. Top result so far has been that I liked 28 of 30 songs. That's rather impressive.

  24. The dialing in thing probably is not new, I saw LibreOffice design team using it over a year ago. That said, I am not entirely sure if that was standard feature or some smart fellow doing the thing.

  25. Re:Wrong Headline on Google Discloses An Unpatched Windows Bug (Again) (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Can you people please upvote this one?
