  1. Wtf? My Samsung plasma smart TV is on within 8 seconds. Fuck, my Harmony remote system takes 12 seconds. What shit are you buying and why isn't this your fault? This isn't typical.

    Would you expect the text manual to be uploaded to Kaspersky in addition to the exe's? I can see it uploading a zip containing both, but if it's scanning each file, I don't think uploading the entire folder contents is reasonable or expected.

  3. Re: Not analyzing payload on Cisco Can Now Sniff Out Malware Inside Encrypted Traffic (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I'm calling bullshit that Netgear released a product and worked out the major bugs before dropping the product, probably just outside the warranty window.

    2 minute compile is a very large application? Lol. To others, that's very fast. Building embedded Linux or synthesizing FPGA'S that take an hour on a 16 core will be interesting. Your 2 minute compile means fuck all.

    GPS power usage is minimal, the demand comes from the display, radio PA's/amplifiers, and camera flash. The worse your cell reception, the more power you draw, etc.

  6. Re: what an incredible waste of taxpayer money on Senator Wants Apple To Answer Questions on Slowing iPhones (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Because Apple is lobbying against Right to Repair laws, so this is very much of interest. The government is supposed to work on your behalf in your best interests. Once in a while, that happens.

    Are you obtuse? The best alternative is replacing the battery. Holy fuck, do a lot of people just not get basic shit. It's mind boggling.

  8. Re: Overblown on Senator Wants Apple To Answer Questions on Slowing iPhones (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    What fucking outcome were you expecting other than loss of power intentionally pulling the power cord? There's unexpectedly losing power, and there's expectedly losing power. You went from insufficient momentary power delivery to absolute zero power. Semantics, people.

  9. Re: WiMax on With WPA3, Wi-Fi Security is About To Get a Lot Tougher (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Distance is a function of power and frequency. Wimax would NOT be easier to deal with for just a few clients, you need many to get the benefits. Also, it's not designed for co-location/interference with other equipment you don't have timing control over. 802.11 outdoor gear has had long distance timing for 40km+ for a decade and a half. If you want to be super cheap about it, check ubnt gear.

    What? Fuck no. For starters, DNS requests.

  11. Dude, you are out of touch. Let your IT people deal with computer stuff. You don't know what you're talking about. Windows 7 not supporting the new CPUs were publicly stated a year before the CPUs even came out. You're out of the loop. You fucked up.

    "Over 4 years" . You can't call bullshit and then immediately fail basic math. September 2018 hasn't happened yet.

    So you fully understand it as a deficient design but refuse to call it that? It's a bad design. Plain and fucking simple.

    Except your tires have indicators that say how much tread is left so that you can service them rather than continue to operate in lower performance mode UNBEKNOWNST to the operator. Instead of throwing on a low Tire pressure dash light, it just throttles the top speed. Why the fuck do people not get this is the crux of the problem?

    Fuck you, words just don't change meaning because douches misuse the words. You think someone on Jeopardy says, "you said it was wrong, but that's what we call it where I'm from". Sure, when something is new or ambiguous, but established words should be used not abused. Correct that person and move on.

    It's a configurable power policy. Fix your temperatures, then. Laptops need a good air blow every so often. Chances are, it's your fault.
