  1. How are they going to monetize this? on Facebook Wants To Use Machine Learning To Make MRIs Faster · · Score: 2

    How is Facebook making money off of this
    They will not do ANYTHING out of the goodness of their (lack) of heart.

  2. My own files? on Walmart Launches Online Store For Ebooks, Audiobooks (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless I am getting an EPUB and a MP3/FLAC/WAV, its not worth checking out.

    Or not watch TV.
    Not like there is much good on it.

    https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker...

    There are a total of 6 ads on that page.
    I am pretty sure one is the special offers which can be removed.
    The other and the My Reading list need to go

    Also need a list view without the cover page as well, but I doubt that will ever happen. People like pictures.

  5. Meh on Amazon's Kindle Voyage May Be Over (cnet.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Since they started adding ads to the home screen (Even the one without special offers), these were no longer worth buying.

  6. Re:Very disappointing on US Judge Blocks Programs Letting 'Grand Theft Auto' Players 'Cheat' (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    It might not be copyright, but it is a ToS violation. They can go after people for that.

    Cuz, you know, the new stuff is definitely secure and this is just an illusion,

  8. Re:If it is successful on Valve Seems To Be Working On Tools To Get Windows Games Running On Linux (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but there is still a performance hit
    You are also stuck to one monitor with no way to switch between them. Which suck since I use Windowed FullScreen so I can control movies, music, or FAQs.

  9. Most browsers already are this.

    Same here.
    This is the only thing really holding me back.

  11. Re:Compatibility? Blame Microsoft on Valve Seems To Be Working On Tools To Get Windows Games Running On Linux (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Ditch it and open source it.
    Would be nice to have some newer features for older games if it were possible.

  12. I don't think you should get news from platforms.

    And trying to stab you.

  16. Anyone else? on Google Begins Rolling Out Android Pie To Select Handsets (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 0

    Anyone else think that this is just terrible.
    Looks like it was designed first and only.

    Also doesn't seem to be any new useful features.
    Power save? You can do that by not installing every shit app out there.
    Emojis? Who cares but children.

    Good thing my phone isn't supported. Didnt want this shit.

  17. Oh.

    No security is fixing that. They will just build a dumber user.

  18. They could always fix their OS so it isn't a massive security issue.

    Then again, it would prolly cut down on ad revenue.

  19. I hacked my last printer on HP Will Give You $10,000 To Hack Your Printer (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    With a hammer.
    I think it was a HP one too.

  20. It did
    Where have you seen any kind of fitting punishment for Experian.
    Nothing but a couple of slaps on the wrist.
    Where is the $3.7 trillion fine they deserved.

    148000000 records times $25000 per record lost (since it was cause they didn't patch something. If it was something else, I would lower the fine amount.)

  21. Hardware is a yes. That has improved a lot in the last 10 years.
    Software on the otherhand, has been an ongoing march on how shitty things can be.

  22. Most Americans at the least.

  23. Cmon. The Arctic Monkeys arent that bad.
