  1. Re: Clickbait on Using Wi-Fi To Count People Through Walls (techcrunch.com) · · Score: -1

    This thread is to bitch how shitty these Slashdot stories are, not on the actual paper. I'd be impressed if TFS ever agreed with the actual papers. Slashdot editors do this on purpose to troll us into making all these posts talking about how shitty Slashdot editors are.

    Your pi IS a few years old. It's a 3B, not 3B+.

  5. Hand solderable on A $1, Linux-Capable, Hand-Solderable Processor (hackaday.com) · · Score: 0

    An electronics engineer was talking about soldering a bunch of basic PCB boards. He said, I hope you can work with 0603's, as if it was difficult. Now I use a microscope for working with 0201's all day, but I don't recall even 0402's as being a problem with the naked eye. Working on 0603's is like standing next to an NBA player.

  6. I registered a .com domain with the word cunt in it at a shitty registrar. I transferred it out but they charged me for renewal anyway. I called their customer support, who sounded like she had a thick carribean accent. I tried spelling the domain to her several times to avoid saying the cunt word, but eventually I got frustrated with how dumb she was because she couldn't spell shit, that I eventually just blurted out the domain name loudly a few times. Awkward silence for a bit, and then says refund will be processed in 3 days.

    Just like ZTE, instead of actually following through on the penalty, they'll get off with a slap on the wrist in the form of an invoice to buy some Trump branded real estate.

    So, they removed all the throttling and intentionally limited performance. Got it.

  10. Lies. Slashdot editors don't fix typos, review their own articles for basic errors, or especially note when they've made post edits like any person who passed grade 8 class.

    What? No. That's totally wrong. They directly get money from taxes but not crypto. Maybe if you said McDonald's, something that is fucking popular worldwide, it would make a little more sense.

  15. Wow. You really don't grasp the basic gist of this story. But that's pretty clear when you don't know the difference between company and country.

  18. Re: And still on No Healthy Level of Alcohol Consumption, Says Major Study (theguardian.com) · · Score: -1

    20 odd years ago, there were some road rage issues in Vancouver (nothing like LA, though). But it was a big thing for us. Marc Emory, one of the better known pot activists, gave a really good interview giving 5 points why driving high was good. Mainly by reducing aggression, but also pointed out the increased sensitivity and paranoia of cops often makes drivers drive the speed limit and cautiously. I fucking hate traffic and shitty drivers, and I know it reduces my stress level while driving. It really comes down to personal responsibility. It's very rare to see someone so baked they can't drive, but very easy to see someone affected by two drinks that shouldn't drive.

    You must have really cheap wine and expensive weed. A joint would be cost equivalent to a fucking glass of wine and the food is irrelevant. A joint would have more effect than a single glass, too. Does the alcohol make you this stupid?

    You mean getting the next generation OS ready before its too late? I thought iOS needed a ground up rewrite back like 4 years ago (the quality has gone to shit, no question). The longer they put it off, the closer they are to pulling a Blackberry. Apple is riding it until the wheels fall off and into the ground.

  21. Re: Don't no-show on Recruiters Are Still Complaining About No-Shows At Interviews (kyma.com) · · Score: -1

    For most interviews I've been on, they've given me a clear parking heads up and where to go, even when it's dead simple. Went to a place that had construction all around it, no street parking, and all parking I could find was reserved commercial parking. So I waste 15 minutes and still end up in the lobby with 2 minutes to go. I arrive at their floor at exactly 2:00pm. The receptionist can't find the HR person. HR person calls me asking where I am, and I ask her the same. She arrives 7 minutes later. She says the person I'm supposed to meet with is doing something else for 2 hours, not available. Then she looks for a conference room, none available despite having a scheduling system. I was totality flexible and it was her that picked the day and time. So she grabs the lead developer to come interview me, which happens to be on a couch in a hallway. One of the worst smelling breath in my life!!! His English was non existent and he spat when he talked. After that experience, I know what red flags to look out for on the phone interview and how they setup the in-person interview. Also, to check Glass Door first, as I could have saved myself an afternoon as the Glass Door shit was so true.

    https://arstechnica.com/featur... Fuck off with that bullshit lie. They were hacked because of Apple's basic security failures, like basic brute force protection. There was at least 8 deficiencies from standard operating security practises and they implemented most of them after the Fappening was public. Several companies reverse engineered iCloud (Elcomsoft and Cellubrite). Tools and exploits available for years. Elcomsoft boasted how they reverse engineered it and criticized them at the same time for allowing it to be possible. https://mashable.com/2014/09/0...

  24. Re: Intel realy needs to start cutting prices to on Intel Discloses Three More Chip Flaws (reuters.com) · · Score: -1

    Yes, many basic and cheap AMD boards have supported ECC for years on low and mid hardware. It's not always mentioned in motherboard specs, but you can often see in memory QVL's for the motherboard. Intel intentionally handicaps some features so you have to buy a higher end model.

  25. Some (most?) Accountants are pretty scummy. When I first met one at a Starbucks, he said I can't claim the coffee and pastries as an expense when meeting with clients, so what you do, is buy a Starbucks gift card and pay for dinner with that and claim the gift cards as promotional marketing expense. A fucking electronics engineer using Starbucks gift cards as promos? Fuck off. I hear about people claiming gas and vehicle maintenance that doesn't apply to work. I remember KGIII boasting about claiming his gas to drive to his primary place of business, which isn't applicable. Then there's the cunt on Slashdot boasting about claiming his backyard pool as a business expense for entertaining his clients, despite operating an offshore software business. I can understand claiming an appropriate portion of personal and business use (cell phone, hydro, Internet, etc) but fuck off with a backyard pool. The accountants really stretch the reasoning in their defence. I hear people boasting how much their accountant got back in a few hours of crunching numbers. They fucking lie all the time and just hope they don't get audited. They are probably not caught or penalized enough to dissuade from the casual lying about expenses and use. It's really fucking stealing from your fellow citizens and unfair to the rest of us playing fair.
