  1. Re:Windows 3.1, 1980s Mac OS on iOS 13 To Feature Dark Mode and Interface Updates, Report Says (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    No. But there is a brand new 3.5'' diskette reader you can buy :)

  2. Where do they get their numbers from? I live in Canada and we had the coldest months ever. It is still in the 20s at the moment...

  3. Re: Video on Firefox To Block Auto-Playing Audio Starting March 2019 (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    True. And imagine all the wasted bandwidth that WE pay for when these videos are preloading in the background...

  4. I have an 1875 Piano in my basement (Fischer), and it doesn't worth anything.

  5. What about the Mac Pro keyboard ? on Apple Expected To Announce iPad Pro With USB-C Next Week (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I hate the clicking keyboard on the Pro, and much prefer the feel of the Macbook Air. Why donâ(TM)t they give customers the option fir different keyboards. Plus the Pro has sometimes problems where it doesnâ(TM)t respond with some keys.

  6. Looking at friends... on How Facebook Outs Sex Workers (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm not a Facebook specialist, but if she looked at only one her sex friends, only once, with her personal profile, the bound is made. Facebook will then start to suggest friends from her other profile. Unless Facebook uses here IP address and browser profile, and matches the two ?

  7. "targeted the contractor after identifying the files through the contractor's"... duh ? Wait! What the hell is a contractor doing with classified files on his home computer. Sounds so dumb, it looks like someone Wants to have Kaspersky AV software blamed.

  8. The Singularity is near... on Are Companies Overhyping AI? (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    Euh... nope. According to Ray Kurzweil book, we will have to wait another 30 years, then... who knows ??

  9. Montreal would be best choice on Cities Are Competing to Give Amazon the 'Mother of All Civic Giveaways' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Very low electricity bills ( like 4 cents per kwh), many universities, close to an almost unused international airport (Mirabel). This airport is dedicated to cargo traffic, etc...

  10. Transfer millions to an email account number ? on How Hackers Are Targeting the Shipping Industry (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Transferring millions to an account number found in an email ? That sounds dumb to me.... But at the end there is always a human that makes mistakes. I guess every industries should learn from this 'incident'... Never trust emails for conducting business. Pick up the phone!

  11. 5G is ready, and Ericsson developed it on Ericsson Is Planning To Cut 25,000 Jobs in Brutal Response To Crisis, Report Says (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 2

    But cell phone providers (aka Telecomm oligopoly) are making so much money right now, that they don`t feel the pressure to buy new equipments or provide better services. They don't care. When they are ready to invest, Ericsson will be well positioned.

  12. Re:The economic tradeoff on Developers Explain Why iOS Apps Are Getting Bulkier (ndtv.com) · · Score: 2

    True. Plus, developpers are lazy, and being pushed to do so. They usually download these large librairies with hundreds of methods/functions , and maybe will use only a couple of these functions. But everything is bundled in, and they don't care about the total package size, until it becomes a concern...

  13. Because of advertising ? on Most of the Web Really Sucks If You Have a Slow Connection (danluu.com) · · Score: 1

    With so much crap advertisement on each page, all trying to get a few cents from adchoices, and google crap, no wonder your connection is slow dude.
