  1. Re:Stable at last! on New Ryzen Running Stable On Linux, Threadripper Builds Kernel In 36 Seconds (phoronix.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    My AMD 80386 DX-40 was stable.

  2. Re:Apple needs this not the $700 more intel cpu! on New Ryzen Running Stable On Linux, Threadripper Builds Kernel In 36 Seconds (phoronix.com) · · Score: 2

    If Apple really wants to lower their costs they'll put their own A-series CPU/GPUs in their Macs.

    Now that I have a gaming PC next to my Mac mini, I don't care as long as the future Mac can run the software I need. Bonus points if it means a cheaper MacBook Air that can run for 20 hours per charge.

  3. Re:Months v years. on Ask Slashdot: Is Leasing a Smartphone Better Than Buying One? (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    A three year-old cell phone is basically useless.

    If all you do is run the latest apps, sure. Otherwise they still work fine.

  4. What do you prefer and why? on Ask Slashdot: Is Leasing a Smartphone Better Than Buying One? (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I prefer to wait until someone I know ditches his current phone for a newer one and gives me the old one for free.

    Man, I must really mess up Google's data on me because my fetish is searching for stuff on Google.

    You just gave me an idea for a new detective TV show: Magnum I.P.

    Where has all the aluminum foil hat folks gone?

    They're all gone. The problem is, when you walk around with an aluminium foil hat all the time and you happen to have half a sandwich to store in the fridge for later, you just grab your hat and... then it's too late.

  9. No fear here on On Internet Privacy, Be Very Afraid (harvard.edu) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I live in Canada, and all our documents are encoded in UTF-EH, making them incompatible with other systems on the planet.

  10. Apple for the win on BackBlaze's Hard Drive Stats for Q2 2017 (backblaze.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's sad that Windows and Linux users have to go to such troubles.

    Me? I only buy Macs. Because Apple takes the 1% of the best drives made in each manufacturing lot and puts them in their Macs. That's why Macs are so expensive.

    I mean, this has to be the reason, right? Surely they're not just buying the same parts as Dell and others and just selling overpriced computers and pocketing the profits.

  11. Summary of the summary on BackBlaze's Hard Drive Stats for Q2 2017 (backblaze.com) · · Score: 1

    Seagate is not reliable.

  12. Cool idea on Google Unveils ARCore, Its Answer To Apple's ARKit (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    How about virtual wallpaper? I'd like the inside of my home office to look like I'm actually in a café in Paris while I code. Sort of a first step toward a holodeck, I guess.

    Second step? Beautiful women in swimsuits sitting in the café.

    Third step? Don't bother. We'll keep ourselves busy with step two.

  13. Fuck AR.

    Except if it can give me a virtual 3D anime wifu, then get out of my fucking way - nobody will stop me from getting AR.

  14. The 6 Mbit stream is compressed; it gets upconverted to a 25 Mbit stream before decoding.

    What kind of nonsense is that? Do you understand how video compression works? Take a 4K picture, compress it to a 10KB JPEG and then "upconvert it" to 4K again, it will look like shit.

  15. Re:Who CARES?! on The Next iPhone Is Going To Be Unveiled On Sept. 12, Report Says (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Okay then Apple should unlock macOS so that it can be used on any regular PC. Just list the supported laptops, CPUs, GPUs, chipsets, etc and let us nerds worry about compatibility.

  16. Re: Who cares about the Switch, make more SNES on Nintendo Faces Supply Issues Ahead of Holiday Season · · Score: 1

    So why not make all consoles world-wide multilingual? Doesn't HDMI and external power supplies render the "country" problem obsolete? All you end up with as a problem is trilingual packaging for the USA/Canada/Mexico.

    You can also blame the fucking Office de la langue française. It's these fuckers' fault we can't get stuff here because of archaic laws. This is 2017, you either read english or you're stuck with 1% of the Internet.

  25. Fucking iPhones... Give us decent Mac mini and MacBook Air updates, PLEASE!

    Godamn idiot CEO who thinks everyone should use a fucking iPad. Some of us need REAL computers and I'm not just talking about processing power.
