  1. Stop trying to sell me AR/VR with built-in audio on Ambitious Augmented Reality Startup Doppler Labs Shuts Down (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I have my own headphones that I carefully picked myself and I can't stand earbuds.

  2. Re:That's great and all ... on A Japanese Company Is Giving Nonsmokers Longer Vacations (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Smoking and social media... you guys are disgusting. Some of us are civilized and watch porn during work.

  3. Re:Fact: Android is shit on Android Oreo Bug Sends Thousands of Phones Into Infinite Boot Loops (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    It fits into the part where's we're the ones getting fucked by the ads companies.

  4. Re:Where is the independent corroboration? on Fewer Than 1 in 100,000 New Surface Devices Go Wrong, Microsoft Says (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Independent research done by both Smallcomfortable Independant Research Labs and I can't believe it's not Microsoft! Labs concur with Microsoft's results.

  5. So... they were using it wrong?

    Once again, Microsoft is copying Apple.

  6. Re:Doesn't matter on Fewer Than 1 in 100,000 New Surface Devices Go Wrong, Microsoft Says (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    What do you get when two fucking morons get together?

    Three morons.

  7. Re:I wouldn't hire him on Student Charged By FBI For Hacking His Grades More Than 90 times (sophos.com) · · Score: 2

    The summary says he "intercepted exams and test questions in advance", so I guess that guy really sucks at learning.

  8. Hired by the FBI? For what skill? Being able to connect a USB device between a USB port and a USB keyboard?

  9. Is he that bad? on Student Charged By FBI For Hacking His Grades More Than 90 times (sophos.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Court documents allege that Graves intercepted exams and test questions in advance and repeatedly changed grades on tests, quizzes and homework assignments.

    Hey, let's get the exams and test questions in advance so I'll have a good score!

    Fails.

    Hey, let's enter the system and change my grades since I failed even when I had the exams and test questions in advance!

    That guy's C.V. can be resumed in one sentence: Can't even cheat his way out by cheating. I'd never hire that guy in a million years.

  10. Reality vs fantasy on Rise of the Machines Must Be Monitored, Say Global Finance Regulators (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    The more I read about A.I., laws being passed, warnings being made... I can't help but recall The Second Renaissance from the Animatrix.

    Not necessarily in the "A.I. apocalypse" way, but in the "A.I. is controlling everything and we lost control", just like we couldn't stop using computers today, or electricity decades ago, humankind in the future will depend on all these A.I. to keep the world running and won't be able to stop anything bad from happening.

    Hell, just look at computers today or even a decade ago, we have trouble stopping worms and viruses from spreading from system to system.

    The future is bleak.

  11. Re:Fact: Android is shit on Android Oreo Bug Sends Thousands of Phones Into Infinite Boot Loops (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    Well, since the web seems to be 95% ads and 5% content, I guess it makes sense.

  12. You must be a scientist.

  13. Re:I don't get it on Android Oreo Bug Sends Thousands of Phones Into Infinite Boot Loops (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If they're sealed units, chances are there's no "SD card" inside. It's flash storage ICs soldered directly to the PCB.

  14. No mod points here, as always, but here's a virtual +5 funny to you my good sir.

  15. Re:Kids have known this for years about Oreo... on Android Oreo Bug Sends Thousands of Phones Into Infinite Boot Loops (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    If it's the same thing as I think you are thinking about, it's very similar but somehow still a bit different than the Oreo cookies.

  16. Re:Kids have known this for years about Oreo... on Android Oreo Bug Sends Thousands of Phones Into Infinite Boot Loops (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    That's a lousy way to eat the creme filling. Open the oreo, use a clean knife to scrape the filling, put the cookies back in the package. Not only is it hygienic, it's much faster and in the end you get to bite into a big blob of awesome-tasting sugar.

  17. This bug shall be called the Buzz Lightyear bug.

  18. Re:Wow I would have never known on 'We Can't Compete': Universities Are Losing Their Best AI Scientists (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    There's probably a lot less pressure when doing research work.

    I'm reminded of xkcd's #664.

  19. Re:Getting scary on Algorithm Can Identify Suicidal People Using Brain Scans (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    George: Jerry, just remember. It's not a lie... if you believe it.

  20. Re:Spare me "the disappointing Blade Runner 2049" on 2017: The Year That Horror Saved Hollywood (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    A huge screen is not the only component needed to appreciate a movie. Watching something in a theatre is like trying to read a book in a fast food joint at lunch time.

  21. Re:Geostorm - who didn't see this coming? on 2017: The Year That Horror Saved Hollywood (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I have only seen the trailer, but it looks like a decent plot for a 1970~1980's era James Bond movie.

    knife fights in the parking lot

    In which forsaken third-world hell of a country do you live in?!

  23. Who took over piracy? on How Kodi Took Over Piracy (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    Paid alternatives like Netflix and Hulu made it easier just to pay up.

    I'm pretty sure there's more paying households of Netflix and/or Hulu than there is households equipped with a Kodi box with piracy-enabling plug-ins.

  24. Re:How Russia took over Donald Trump on How Kodi Took Over Piracy (wired.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    I don't see why people say money laundering is a problem. Doesn't it get dirty with dust, bodily residues and microbes over time?

  25. Get out while you can on Microsoft is Killing Outlook.com Premium (thurrott.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Stop using Microsoft outlook as soon as you can and migrate to another online service, ideally by a company which you can trust, which won't read your emails and monetize your account with ads, such as Google.
