It gets worse. We were running Window$ on iMacs. If I could at least try WINE on Linux with it, I would have, but they just bought the equipment and WinEEG needs a USB key to communicate live with the MITSAR. It would of been interesting to find out. I did look into other programs for Linux, but none are as easy to use and the compatible equipment is cheap and archaic in comparison. You can find a lot of biofeedback projects for Linux, but most of those are 2-5 channel and not 21. They do make Bluetooth EEG headsets for phones (iOS/Android) now, but they're junk and the saline solution destroys them over time. They market most of them as devices to improve your mental wellbeing by monitoring your brainwaves. You can be half asleep and get the same results as any "zen master." Fun fact why I'm thinking about it, they made a biofeedback Star Wars force toy way back during episode one or two I think. I don't know about 100 words a minute, but if you need to float a ball in a brain controlled air tube: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com.... Also, if you want to hack that toy with an Arduino: http://www.instructables.com/i...
From what I learned doing research, I also think 100 words per minute is extreme. You wouldn't believe the artifacts you get just from blinking or moving a leg or finger, and I had a 21 channel MITSAR and WinEEG to work with. The only way this is going to work is if Facebook has plans involving AI and quantum computing, a very dangerous combination for privacy. This is because an AI would have to get to know your brain waves on an incredibly intimate level, making encryption a joke when your brain is getting digitally fingerprinted. If what they say works, both the polygraph test and "truth serum" would be a joke. The only actual application for finding brainwave averages between people currently is to add to the "what are artifacts" knowledge and perhaps a quick and dirty diagnoses. Very rarely have I ever been able to use EEG to find correlations in research because everyone is too different and there is always some kind of confounding variable. Biofeedback projects in EEG sort of works for fun little things, but it's not the same thing as "mind reading" or 100 words per minute good. Now, I've played around with Tobii eye tracking, and that would be their best bet. In the the Linux and open source world we have a program called Dasher that may work with eye tracking to get their quota. Besides, doesn't Facebook have enough biometric data or are their government overlords hungry for more? This is why they'll never go bankrupt, as long as they have projects like this. Meanwhile, other more important research gets cut.
...an iPhone has to be recycled about 10-20 times before its materials cost savings will ever catchup to itself to be a problem for Apple. That's all this is. They don't want people hanging onto products that they know will still work in 5+years. I got a 32-bit MacBook that's 9 years old (4 GB of RAM) and an Acer Aspire One ZG5 (7 years I think with 1 GB of RAM) running Linux kernel 4.10 (after Upgrade script) just fine with a distro I made. https://theouterlinux.com/psyc.... I also have an iPod Touch I've literally never turned off in probably 4 years running iOS 6 with the screen on for at least three constant years 24/7 as a security cam of sorts via time lapse photography (saves storage that way). No glitches at all. So, don't give me that millennial, blindly over-capitalistic, bs excuse for needing new Apple products every year. If you take good care of your stuff, it will last. This is why cloud computing is being pushed so hard now. It's easier than zeitgeisting a new architecture to get people to buy new hardware like they did about ten years ago. Cloud computing takes your control of the OS and software away, to which the irony is that most cloud computing is open source. Only gamers, graphic designers, and hackers benefit from 64-bit because of the GPU.
Besides, if they're in your phone already, why the hell would they care about your desktop web browsing? Do they really need to know your porn fetishes? And if the "light sensor hacker" is in your house using his phone, then he is a common senseless eccentric moron. Or, we got blind hackers coming soon. The Blind Hacker: his/your phone sees what he can't.
Seriously though, only a millenial would be that dumb. This same demographic probably meets people on Facebook and texts with WhatsApp too. Do humans have so little problems anymore that rather than being a fearless young person, they choose not to care about privacy instead? That's my theory anyway.
Obviously, you'd allow the "community" to look at bugs and submit issues, but it seems as though in trying to prevent bad blood, there's no chain of command in these kinds of projects. The person with the highest bug fixing record gets the final word, followed by the "new features team" rather than adding features and then try to fix conflicts; this is where the original author of the project has the final say over the top bug fixer if they aren't one in the same. If multiple solutions exists to a bug, offer a community vote and an honest layout of any compromises that may result for each solution. Interface eye candy should always be last in a project.
He is right in that you don't actually "need" the Internet unless you've assimilated into modern culture enough to depend on it for communication or business. Most modern needs have been created because we really aren't struggling as a species to survive like we used to and why not create and capitalize on something the next generation isn't even going to know the difference on? Current though, these "needs" are backed by peer pressured under the ever evolving guise of Social Darwinism. People have created monsters they can't destroy or leave if they wanted to. Facebook is a good example. But, he is also wrong because the United Nations called the Internet a "basic human right" not that long ago. But, the UN is a bunch of Jesus hating, commy coddling Liberals out to destroy America when you're a 73 year old republican.
I had come to your overlord's attention that Slashdot knows their old school tech. Please help us transition our outdated missile defense system. That is all. PS, bring 5 1/4 floppies and drives if you got them. Your smoke and coffee stained keyboard awaits.
I think humans have forgotten that the Earth doesn't give a damn about you and that just because you can post something that doesn't mean it changes anything other than perception and maybe influence social Darwinism. So, people have become docile with new tech and joking say "It's 1984," knowing lack of privacy and product control has gone to hell, which is fine as long as the ice doesn't melt and they get to have the latest iPhone.
Here it is again: https://theouterlinux.com/priv... Feel free to look around at the other stuff too. I'm always trying to figure out what to add or change to make better so if you got a suggestion, let me know.

I've used OperaVPN on a jailbroken phone and then used tcpdump to monitor the traffic to be sure. OperaVPN lies, or stopped providing updates to my iOS version, leaving it broke. Matter of fact, they haven't had an update in months. Using Netherlands, it connects somewhere between the U.S. Midwest to California servers. Using Germany, I've caught it using Swiss and Russian servers. I would never use a U.S. or U.K. server. You can check by using: "tcpdump -D" to get your internet device name (usually wlan0 or eth0) and then "tcpdump -xx -i eth0 tcp" to monitor your web browsing connections. The "-xx" part will allow you to see if the information coming and going is encrypted or not; you shouldn't be able to understand any of it. You can leave off the "tcp" part at the end, but you'll get UDP and other info too. The connections should all have the same IP address. Then, use that IP address via "geoiplookup #.#.#.#" in another terminal to find the country. I only knew my cities because the bottom of a Google search said the location on my phone and wasn't asking to translate to English for me. Both "tcpdump" and "geoip" packages are available for Linux, Cydia, and source code; I'm not sure about Window$.
There are those trapped in Facebook and are just angry:( . That sucks. You make "friends" that don't use anything else to communicate or at least tell you that they prefer Facebook. Or, you need it for work or business so you have no choice. Or, it's the only way to make a long-distance relationship work, be it intimate or platonic. Do you spy on your kids with it? You know they have have another account, right? Does it make you cool? But, if you use it because you enjoy it...what flavor of Kool-Aid do you like?
All communication can be used for cheating but if you were to use regular SMS, you're an idiot. Supplying a platform with profile pics and personal information is what makes it tempting. Any app (Tinder; owned by Facebook) that has a swipe left or right is basically saying, "Do I find him/her sexually attractive or not?" I have a friend that went on one date with a guy she met with Tinder and as soon as she kissed him, he whipped it out. No joke. Actually, I don't have a friend with a Tinder that doesn't have a horror story like that or not a complete sexual deviant. Apparently, because I hate Facebook, I'm not cool enough, in case you're thinking I'm bragging about the deviant part.
Millennials do hookup more than their parents did, it's just what they call "hooking-up" and what their parents believed it to be is much different and people don't live as far away from each other. The language for flirting is much different; example "What's up" for older people is "How are you?"; younger people think you just flirted with them. I've even asked a more "with it" friend of mine about it and she was like, "You can't just go up to a girl and ask that or text that to a girl you just met." I couldn't believe it. Instead of having non-committed sex with lots of partners like the previous generation, they are having non-committed sex with a shorter list, aka the classic "FWB." I know people that don't view oral as sex for goodness sake. They get on dating apps and figure that stuff out after a few dates here and there. The frequency is more, but the diversity is less, probably because they think it's safer that way. Birth control and no condom fun with very little STD risk, I guess. It's also why they are taking much longer to get married. They can't find the "right one" because they don't know how to commit and work things out, using "career" and "school" as an excuse. And, why would they bother trying when they know they can get their rebound endorphin fix from one of their other "friends" or are attractive enough to just make new ones. You wouldn't believe how many dating profiles I've seen that say "I don't need [insert app] to have sex. I could just ask a friend," I guess to make the point she is looking for a long term relationship, but you still know she isn't lying about the sex part.

...I mean, "I wonder who is coming to visit?" -- Latin character version of Russian because Slashdot only knows Latin languages.
So it seems Slashdot doesn't support Cyrillic characters. It would of been funny. :/
...I mean, "I wonder who is coming to visit?"
Never mind. It has hands, but still...
...yeah.....not buying that. You'd have to be a moron to believe that.
...the tubes found in older electronics? Kind of steampunkish. I didn't think you could have light without electrons.

It'll run everything, including PS1 and maybe 2. Costs just as much.

Not sure about that, but you can change your computer's and phone's DNS to an open source encrypted (DNSCrypt) no logging server as added protection.
