  1. Re: This is why we can't have nice things on Apple Intern Reportedly Leaked iPhone Source Code (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    At my first job, I worked at a place where the boss man wanted a person doing work experience for a few weeks (basically doing network grunt work for free) fired because she was playing Minesweeper on her lunch break. The company isn't a storefront business, any visitors are just delivery people and suppliers. It's really no fucking big deal. That was when my tone went from a scared, reserved one to, "are you shitting me?" tone and reminding him she's not paid. I didn't of course let her go, and over time he respected me because I pushed back and respectfully told him when he was wrong. Unlike some cocksuckers...

  2. Re: Security? on Apple Intern Reportedly Leaked iPhone Source Code (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    No, it just has more stupid filters to prevent stupid people from doing stupid stuff. Pretty much all malware on Android and iOS is from users installing shit they shouldn't. I must have missed those websites that could root Android devices just by visiting a site like iOS did so many times.

  3. When Google put me onto a 4 lane one way highway that was at least 3 months old and nearly killed me, I said fuck google. It was something like 14 months after the bridge was in that Google was updated. For a long time, my truck appeared to be swimming across the river for km's. The GPS I own has free lifetime map updates and had the changes on the next quarterly update. Also, voice recognition isn't as good as Google Now, but my GPS doesn't need Internet to work. The only thing about my GPS is the touch screen is getting worse and slow to recalculate if I missed a turn.

    Microcode is not a kernel patch. Sounds like you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

  5. Re: It does or it doesn't? on Apple Says the Leaked iPhone Source Code is Outdated (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    How the fuck does security not change if the chance of exploit increases? Fuck, it sounds like they're saying they significantly changed code over 3 years, which is suspect in supposedly secure code. You're trying to say that the devices aren't instantly insecure just because this is public knowledge, but there's now way more eyes and more attractive attack surface. If bookies were taking bets on jailbreaks, I'd guess the odds just changed.

    Maybe it's incompatible with headphone jacks.

    Hmm, you might be thinking of .rom files, but I'd say that's more of a 3 character file extension thing, not used to describe physical hardware or operation.

    No, it's not. He's wrong and/or poorly communicated when could have been avoided. If your boss allows incorrect system diagrams and shit, you both should be fired.

    Your brain replaces code with "boys"? How odd.

  13. I was going to whoosh you, as the glasses thing to me was so stupid it was funny, and I assumed that was the joke. Now I'm not so sure.

  14. Re: Um, ain't this kinda like ... on Apple Is Seeing 'Strong Demand' For Replacement iPhone Batteries (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    What? No, it's the complete opposite. Apple users demand something with their money and don't get it. Microsoft users decline it and get it anyway, for free, often without waiting. Were you sick that day in school or something? I have no fucking clue how you think this is similar. This isn't a boastful thing to say for Apple, it's shining a fucking light on how defective the batteries and/or design is.

    That is fine. The editors commit much worse offences every fucking day.

  16. Re: And "wildly popular" MY ASS! on Apple Homepod Review: Locked In (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You sound poor. No companies share their sales numbers, but there's plenty of other data that confirms millions if not tens of millions of these are out there.

  17. Re: So much for the specs on Apple Homepod Review: Locked In (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Your logic is flawed. It having limited actions means nothing to listening capabilities, you even said Siri listens fine. You don't think the device is recording each voice activation? It's already discussed on /. how they "anonymize" the data for 6 months and strip it further and store for another longer period. If anything, they need all your data more than Amazon and Google because they are years behind in the tech.

  18. There was a hybrid 98/me build you could make that added the few ME features and improvements and run on a 98 install. I think I cleared that shit from my local drives years ago and forget the name of that project.

  19. Someone forgot to tell Trump that.
