  1. Re: Not accurate on New Study Finds How Much Sleep Fitbit Users Really Get · · Score: 1

    I can second this. I've seen numerous reports from people with Garmin trackers that the sleep tracking is very inaccurate. I've found my Fitbit to be actually be very accurate in the regard.

  2. I swear there is always a Minecraft guide app in these lists

  3. Instead they'll just make it more annoying to skip ads by hiding the "Skip Ad" button behind a thumbnail of the video you are watching requiring two taps/clicks to skip it.

    Sounds like his problem is more with Enigmail than GPG encryption itself. Had Enigmail worked as it should have he would have had no problem.

    Damn you're good. Who taught you how to twist words like that and can I learn it too?

    Hell you might not even have to buy one it might come with the device.

    So buy a 3.5mm to USB C adapter that will cost you maybe $5. No one is forcing you or anyone else to buy bluetooth headphones.

    Ah I remember those days. Now you pretty much get the middle finger if you don't have prime. I try to do buy my stuff elsewhere now because I don't feel like waiting a month to get stuff.

  9. DT Ignite anyone?

    This is perfect. I was just wondering how I was going to remember this stupidity.

  14. Re:Guilty by omission? on 'Social Media ID, Please?' Proposed US Law Greeted With Anger (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I think it's because people have turned the word into something more specific. This is similar to what happened with the word "hacker" which most people use to mean someone that does malicious things on computers and not someone who tinkers around with software. Regardless of what the dictionary says, words can change meaning over time. In this sense most people refer to social media as a network in which one basically has a dedicated audience. You have friends on Facebook, you have followers on Twitter, you have subscribers on Youtube, you have connections on Linkedin etc etc. and these people instantly see all of your activity. Those things really don't exist on forums. (yes some forums have implemented a friends-like feature in their forum software but again that's heavily dependent on the forum software and most of the ones I've seen still don't quite work in the same way that the big networks work)

  15. Re: There's a better fix for this... on Latest Windows 10 Update Breaks PowerShell (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Libre Office usually has less compatibility issues with MS Office files than MS Office does!

    Nope. I have yet to see a Word file that contains anything more advanced than some unformatted text display properly in LibreOffice.

  16. Most extensions that can capture an entire page usually do not trigger infinite scroll.

    1) It looks like it can automatically upload the screenshot so you can easily share it and 2) it may be possible to capture an entire webpage, something that's not possible with an external tool.

  23. Re:Wait, so the F-35 is good for something? on The New F-35 Is So Stealthy, It's Harder To Train Pilots (airforcetimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Because the media can spin a tiny bad thing into a huge story. Yes the F-35 has had some issues but that can be said about anything when it first gets released. I'd like for someone to point out a military aircraft that did not have any problems when it first entered service. They usually get these things fixed within the first few rounds of updates.

    Finally, someone who understands what they're talking about instead of all these people blindly bashing the F-35 because of some misleading media story they heard.

  25. Do many people still use .torrent files? Everything is pretty much magnet these days and you can't delete those. And how would they implement removing downloaded .torrent files when there are plenty of legit torrents out there? You can't just nuke *.torrent without catching the legit ones too. This sounds like a request by someone who doesn't understand technology.
