  1. Re:I don't understand why you tolerate it on Why No One Answers Their Phone Anymore (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 0

    I've seen a marked uptick since the telcom shill put in charge of the FCC by the shitnozzle currently occupying the Whitehouse got his current position.

    I just don't answer the phone anymore.

    Spoof numbers is legitimate sometimes

    No, it fucking isn't.

    They're going to have a difficult time forcing people who have already paid for licenses to suddenly pay a subscription fee.

    That would be one MASSIVE class action lawsuit that they would lose big on.

    Why the fuck would I SUBSCRIBE to an operating system?

    You didn't even read the summary. The "point" is that fewer people are carrying cash of any kind, thus there's no coin to throw into the guitar case.

    I don't think this is an advancement, as a hobo with a guitar is still a hobo.

    You do not understand chronic depression, a chemical imbalance in the brain, at all

  9. Re:Don't care on Edge Beats Chrome in Battery Test, Says Microsoft (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Poor availability of ad and script blocking for one.

    I can't imagine this test was run with Chrome running say... uBlock origin or ScriptSafe. With all the garbage scripts NOT running in the background, I imagine Chrome would fare much better than Edge.

  10. Re:What's the use case anyway? on Apple Blocks Steam's Plan To Extend Its Video Games To iPhones (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Who said anything about a Mac? You can play Steam games on a mac, but a top end gaming PC has hardware a Mac could never have due to Apple's walled garden.

    This is one more reason I will never buy another Apple device. Part of their reason for not allowing Steam Link is I'm sure because they DO discourage free applications because 30% of nothing is nothing.

  12. Of Course though on FBI Repeatedly Overstated Encryption Threat Figures To Congress, Public (techcrunch.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    The FBI is vexing 45 ever so badly. I'm sure that this story has nothing to do with our local Trumpster trolls trying to discredit the organization.

    Well, I mean you're not going to get "NO" subscription fee AND no ads.

    That said, even ad-supported streaming services appear to have less annoying and LOUD ads than FM radio these days. I stopped listening to FM about a decade ago. ClearChannel owns most stations, and they make damned sure that every channel is running the same ads at the same time so that you can't switch away (Why the fuck do I need to hear a car ad when I'm in my car?)

    I load up my own music on the phone for the most part, but as I have trained Pandora on my preferences, that has become a good option.

  15. I leaned towards "give him a chance" when that walking STI sore was elected. He immediately began placing assorted Corporate Foxes in charge of various henhouses, and I'm not giving him any more chances.

  16. Tim Cook didn't declare bankruptcy multiple times.
    Tim Cook has an IQ higher than room temperature.
    Tim Cook has an opinion many people respect.

    Unlike 45 and his Trumpkins.

  17. And what is it going to take to convince people that a planet is sterile?

    I dunno... maybe a huge vasectomy scar?

    Precisely. Larry Ellison declared that Job Security and the ability to work with your co-workers in trust as a team was dead. Gotta lay people off every 6 months to keep everyone on their toes!

  23. Re:Might be time to leave... on Talent War in Silicon Valley Demands High Salary (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    But are any of the places you're talking about the kinds of places that people like the talent in question want to LIVE?

    For instance, I wouldn't live in Lawrance Kansas if you gave me a 2300 sqft house for FREE as well as any vehicle I wanted.

    There's nothing interesting to DO there. There's no prospects for a relationship I'd be interested in (most girls there are really proud of their church attendance, according to my sister) It's not near anything remotely interesting.

    Cost of living varies for REASONS.

  25. Re:Depends which GPUs you're talking about on GPU Prices Are Falling (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm speaking partially about the compatibility issues. I don't have time to wait for AMD to fix issues after a game releases. I gave them their last chance years ago.

    If you're happy with their hardware, that's great. Myself, I can just pick a top or near top tier Nvidia card when I build a system and save myself a lot of grief.

    And I have a 165 Hz monitor. I'll take as high a frame rate as I can get while keeping detail high. I do notice. I didn't think I would, but I do.
