Fuck Taxi companies and Taxi drivers. Lazy, cheating scum that rode a monopoly in most areas for years. They can't compete so fuck them sideways with a bandsaw. I'm still dealing with a severe injury to my foot because a cab company made me wait 2 hours at 2 AM for a cab, and then I had to WALK home for 2.5 miles because at that point I could assume that they were never coming. I was in shoes that aren't meant for that kind of walk, and I apparently had a connective tissue issue with my foot. I'll never be able to run, dance or do many other things again. FUCK Cab companies. Especially Yellow Cab of Fort Lauderdale Florida.
Quite honestly, as someone in the software industry for many years... generally you want people to upgrade to the newest version for ease of support. The faster they can EOL older versions without much impact, the less financial impact supporting those versions will have.
I'm sure there are other factors as well, but they do have legitimate reason to want to move people off of older versions of the OS.
The wired fast charging is MUCH faster than wireless. If your phone is low and you don't have a lot of time before going out for the night, plugging it in for 15-20 minutes can really help.
That said, I use the wireless charging on my S6 almost exclusively. I rarely HAVE TO use quick charge, but it's nice to have the option.
And I never dunked my S5 in water either, even though it was similarly waterproof. Just because it's "safe" doesn't mean I want to risk a ~$600 piece of hardware as a stunt.
That's entirely the shitty Silk browser at work there. Sideloading google services and Chrome improves that experience quite a bit. I suspect it's all the telemetry that Amazon loads.
As long as the Republitards implode and neither of those imbeciles reach the White House, that's fine with me. Wish the alternative was Bernie and not Hillary, but I don't want Hitler 2.0 or Nehemiah Scudder-lite anywhere in power.
He's a Theocratist Shit-Sack. Anyone that even HINTS that the Bible should win out over the Constitution can go get fucked sideways with a bandsaw. Keep your church out of my life you christian taliban motherfucker.
The most expensive Mac has a GPU that is useless for high-end gaming. Intel integrated graphics are not even close to being OK for this purpose, and an expensive AMD card that is specialized for CAD and graphic design simply isn't capable of working for VR. There's no reason for Oculus or HTC/Valve to invest a single second of time trying to support those systems.
Processing power isn't the bottle neck. I have a system built on a 2600K processor, which is fairly old, but it's clocked to over 3.5 ghz, and it's not a problem. My system still crushes Valves VR capability test rather handily, because I have a GTX980 as the graphics card.
A gaming box can be built that would be adequate for VR for around $1000. There isn't a single Mac that is capable, no matter how much money you throw at Apple. Even if you could throw, say a Geforce GTX980ti in one, the drivers don't exist. Apple maintains complete driver control on their platform, and even when they DID provide options that included then-equivalent hardware, the performance was abysmal.
Personally, I'm all for burying ISIS members ass-towards-mecca. doused in pig blood, and making it clear to all of them that that is the fate that awaits them. IN their pin-heads, that would permanently bar them from their fairy-tale paradise.
Why the fuck would I call when I can click a few buttons. Don't even have to interrupt the conversation I'm having with the nice woman at the bar to shout at some half-wit in a noisy restaurant.
I haven't ordered anything over the phone in years, and I LIKE it that way.
That won't have any impact at all. The only thing that would happen is I'd miss out on the games that would really entertain me and be eating Carob instead of Chocolate out of stubbornness. It wouldn't change a fucking thing.
No thanks. I prefer games on my high end gaming computer. I'll play them on a console if they're console only, but I like mods and being able to throw as much graphics hardware as I can afford at them.

True. He's not stupid. He just panders to stupid people.

It's annoying, certainly, but Trojan Horse? Come on. Dramatic much?

Companies are dropping those ports because of EU regulations requiring phones to use micro-USB compatible chargers.

I don't see either of those results as being bad in the slightest.

Who said anything about President Obama? The second Little Kim acts out, CHINA will obliterate North Korea.
How exactly?
I think it's time for us to finally announce: Slashdot is pregnant. Hence the missed periods.
For great justice!
You're what we call a "settler". You'll settle for what you can get on Linux. Or you'll settle for carob instead of chocolate.
Yea I'm sure there's plenty of content, if "anything" is good enough for you.
Really? Valve isn't targeting Steam, their own platform?
Give me some of what you're smoking.
And that will never happen, as long as publishers still care about porting to/from Xbox One.
Or making money.
Wish that wasn't true but that's the way it is.
Allah is pretty gay, isn't he?

That's not much help if you like to play AAA computer games. Yes I know Tux is 3d rendered. It's not much fun.
Precisely. And I actually worked there at the time. Made me physically ill.

A lot harder to get mugged for significant amounts of cash if I'm not carrying any cash.
