  1. If someone see one of these, check something for me? Turn it over and look underneath to see if it's made by "Buy-N-Large" corporation.

    Thanks.

    So what you're saying is that Android is cheap crap for the homeless.

    Why can't slashdot support modern character encoding? Is it some because they're stupid or lazy?

  6. ...games are kinda doing that too.

    You think?
    FIFA 19 (35th game in the series)
    Red Dead Redemption 2 (2nd game in the series, but since it's basically "Grand Theft Auto on a horse" you could almost say it's the 17th GTA game)
    Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (15th game in the series)

    Let's settle for "it's like typing on a thin sheet of jello on top of glass".

  8. Too bad all those passwords take so much space in your memory that you forgot the difference between "an extra step" and "and extra step".

  9. Is a password THAT hard to type?

    It's not hard to type ThisIsMySuperSpecialSecretPasswordThatNobodyWillEverSee12345, but it does take a long time.

    If you owned a donut shop and bought enough supplies to make $1 million in donuts, but only sold like $1000 worth, you'd have an issue.

    Stop making 1000kg donuts.

    That's okay, they'll make it up in volume. Which goes to 11.

    If looks really mattered, a lot more people should wear brown bags over their head when they leave their house.

    Okay then, let's help them get a sex education too. Unblock all the p0rn site and let them watch p0rn during classes. It will also teach everyone tolerance toward other people's tastes.

    “Strictly speaking I don’t think it’s possible, primarily because too many people don’t have a private parking space and won’t want to buy a plug-in car if they can’t establish a charging point at home,” ITE economist Lasse Fridstroem said.

    So either they force all landlords/etc in the country to install at least one charging point per apartment/tenant or they have to drop their 100% target.

    Unless the school he works at has any Fortnite-related classes, there's nothing wrong with what he's doing. If kids want to do Fortnite-related things they should do it at home, not using school property.

  20. I'm pretty sure it's something that happened on the ~298th day of the year.

    The sarcasm is strong with this one.

  22. This sounds quite similar to the Shoe Event Horizon storyline from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

    It's quite possible that in the (very near) future, the only companies on the planet that will be able to manufacture anything will be the ones that also have software services associated to their own hardware. We're already almost at that point with Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft.

  23. The hardest and most expensive piece these days is the plastic box. I can't believe how much some of those little boxes are. I've started repurposing the enclosure of other obsolete stuff. It really is a golden age to be a electonics hobbyist.

    Get yourself either a laser cutter and/or a 3D printer. Then you can build your own custom enclosures.

  24. As I get older the shiny tech edge gets not only less attractive but off putting.

    Same here. Hell I hate the fact that macOS has facebook and other bullshit built-in because I'm never going to use it. It's wasted space on my SSD and maybe even wasted RAM and potentially insecure hooks in the OS itself.

    I don't want/need light bulbs with WiFi.

    I bought Philips SceneSwitch Colour (2200K, 2700K, 5000K) bulbs. They don't connect to anything but they do offer something more than regular dumb bulbs.

  25. Or continue posting as a fake anonymous coward who keeps linking to his youtube channel under a thin disguise of mockery.

    I miss the old slashdot trolls. What happened to the moocow guy?
