    Capitalize your fucking words. When a fucking 5 year old writes better than you, you need to do better.

    Of course, a God believer has nonsensical beliefs that everyone should carry a gun but not use them because of God morals or some shit. I hope you are on a list and monitored. That's some crazy stupid shit.

    Citation needed. When I looked this up years ago, you're aiming for better than 3% failure for a successful product.

  5. Why the fuck aren't they using a Coulomb counter? Last year, we used a Qualcomm soc and some standard usb-c charger microcontroller and it was a basic feature. Of course they fucking measure the charging current. You can't just go by temperature alone.

    Simple query? There's no fucking Meta data that stores that. Don't be a cunt.

    People don't like to have to explain super basic shit to people who lack any fucking imagination. For me, I control lights, fans and satellite receivers and ask questions that don't require me to get up and go to the computer or take my phone off the charger. Electrical cables are in hard to access places and require two hands to cycle power. With cheap WiFi power sockets, I reboot these devices much easier. Seriously, these questions are annoying. If you couldn't think of a use case in a split second, just move on and leave us alone.

    Who the fuck would invite you to their party? You're a cunt.

  12. I get the impression Slashdot works like the postal office where the shitty workers force the odd good worker to do shitty work or else they all look bad. Because for the rest of us, we have to proofread and not fuck up every single fucking time to keep our jobs. Seriously, if you're a volunteer and fucking up, I wouldn't care. But you're getting paid, right? Do you give two fucks about the shit you put out?

  13. I've worked with both a Rong and a Sophie. Rong was a developer who was very pretty (aside from her teeth) and had her masters. She was responsible for the worst bug our product ever had (reset configuration to defaults). I remember the flabbergasted expression from another developer who found the source of the bug and ranted about how stupid her coding was. Sophie didn't fuck up, but according to her former boss, she was "useless" and didn't have a clue.

    I live in Canada, and I've heard many times growing up, a doctor in Cuba makes the same as anyone else. How the fuck would I know if that's true? I don't, just saying what I've heard many, many times.

    No, this is demand based discrimination. Not the same.

    Do you have reading comprehension problems? The whole paragraph was generally "this makes sense and is a good idea" . The first paragraph explained there's a fucking reason to do it. What the fuck is your problem? Get a new bowl if someone pissed in your Cornflakes.

  22. My mom fell for an Apple phishing attack. Fucking Yahoo didn't flag a non-Apple email as spam and hid the email address from display so you didn't see the obvious fake domain. She entered all her details, birthday, credit card, maiden name, etc. She thought it was strange Apple would ask all this info, but did it anyway. I got the call when their ipad said it was remotely locked and she couldn't get into it. After figuring out the scam, we did password resets on both parents accounts and got control back of the ipad. It still took several minutes of convincing her to immediately cancel her credit card as it was 100% scam. She still didn't believe me until I said the website she put her details into is on a porn site. She got a call the next day her credit card was used twice within a few hours.

    Canada better fucking rescind his Canadian citizenship and take a look at all parties involved in his application. It's one thing for CSIS to monitor them, it's another to let them get away with shit.

  25. My Blackberries never do this, nor my Android phones. The solution is to simply test if you can access the outside world and if so, make WiFi available to the rest of the phone. Of course, when a major backbone provider fucked up some routes, some people experienced the symptoms where phone thought Internet connection wasn't working but really was due to not reaching the hardcoded hostname. Doesn't your phone prompt you to login to hotspot walled garden logins?
