  1. screenshot button on 'See the Future Firefox Right Now' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Firefox 57 has added a screenshot button in the top-right corner...

    Just to let the Firefox dev know, there's also a Print Screen button on the keyboard. It's not that hard to find. Just look at the top row with all the function keys under the words like PrtScn, Print, Prt Scr, Prt Scrn or Print Screen.

    It's also very easy to use, just click on the button and then release it. You can then paste your screen shoot on to any supported media and your screen shoot will be there in prefect condition. Just click on the button, it's that easy. You should really try it. /s

    He might and still fix them. You could also fix your smartphone. It's on ifixit.

    Practically every time I repair a phone, tablet, laptop, etc. it ends up costing me more in parts and time then it would be to buy a new one...

    Umm Every time you repair anything, it should be because the cost of getting parts or repairing is cheaper than buying a new one. (Ex: Phone is $699, camera is $25 -> should repair, laptop is $799, mobo is $500 -> might not be worth repairing)

    for sad reason. At least they asked him to "take the app off the shelf from Apple's App Store then this will be all over" instead of shooting him or arresting/dragging him out on the spot.

    My $5-20 item may come with free shipping...

    Where are you from? from space? This is slashdot. At the very least, do some damn calculation. Even basic calculation on shipping cost and product manufacture tells you that it is not feasible and they aren't earning.

    When they aren't earning, they aren't going to give you any *** damn service. There's no free lunch, in which someone is still paying for it.

    You are already damn lucky not to get poisoned by their product.

    Next time, do the damn calculation. If it's dirt cheap, you shouldn't be expecting anything. If you want some good service, pay for a higher price.

    I normally click the "Prime" checkbox immediately

    Looks like you're an Amazon main consumer. or maybe I'm too old and still browse all over the place to look for a product, including the seller's individual website. This is probably due to the nature rareness of my product selection.

    The shipping, the refund, and the return are the least of my worries. On the other hand, the product is what it really matters.

    It is still a risky implant.

    One error implant, it could become something pressing on the brain like a tumor, killing the host. On the other hand, it could potentially recover neurons from paralyzed victims and improve elder brain function.

    They better conduct more research before doing it on humans. Also they should have life/death agreement for the volunteers as it is still very risky.

    Whether it is security theater or not, some international business travelers are already not going to the US and reorganizing event elsewhere in fear of business documents (laptop) being held at border.

    They can improve it, but international business travelers already have the fear. The damage has been done. Good luck reversing it.

    Compare 'Print Screen' to "Snipping Tool", 'Print Screen' can get overlay error message, 'Snipping Tool' can't because it need to be opened first.

    Paint is just a quick software to paste whatever you got from the Print Screen.

  24. Re: They miss the point. on Microsoft Confirms It's Not Killing Off Paint After Outpouring of Support (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not about option. It's about default and expected behavior. Paint is (was) a default program on windows. So you know it is available on any windows machine. Helpful when you need to quick print screen to highlight something, or draw down something basic without installing, downloading or anything that requires online on someone else machine.

    If it is your own machine, you surely can get the portable software. But someone else machine? You might need either machine or owner permission. If you have neither, Paint is default available for you to use without you getting any additional permission. This is why it's not about option.

    On the bright side, maybe this will make organizations include something better than MS Paint

    Meaning they will include nothing at all. You might include something, but there are plenty of organization don't give any shit about it until they themselves personally use it. The employees will only be left to suffer.
