  1. Re:How about not blowing away work? on Windows 10 To Use Machine Learning in Latest Attempt To Make Reboots Less Annoying (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    shutdown /r /t 0 will restart the system without appling them.
    shutdown /s /t 0 will do the same but shut it down.

    Can be done from Run, CMD, or PowerShell

  2. Pirates have a better service. on MPAA Seeks Stronger Actions To Fight Streaming Video Piracy (streamingmedia.com) · · Score: 1

    They really need to offer a service that is as good as or better than the pirate site.
    The pirate sites are better designed and faster than Netflix, Hulu, and the like.
    I get actual files and not some stream
    A lot more content.
    That is the biggest one. Even if you had a sub for all the major streaming services, I would be willing to bet that the pirates have 95% on the content vs the 80% the totality of the streaming sites would have.

  3. They already sell junk hardware and claim it faster than the old stuff.

    HEY! I saw that on XVIDEOS

  6. Any one who has been in a call center for a time will know this will not work
    OOOOBoy, I have had some characters on the other line. Would like to see a bot handle that.

  7. This is getting worse and worse. I am going to be trying Zoho. Seen that pop up on this site a few times as recommendations.
    I have held off trying to get a different email service just because of ALL the stuff attached to the GMail one.

    My Google account is pretty much going to be for YouTube to unblock videos with bad words and the Play Store.

    Unless there is a good replacement for that y'all can recommend.

  8. Most people do not care about performance. They want Twitter and Facebook. The OEM are just following the money.
    They can care less about the people who want or need it. Not as much money in it.

  9. Besides that it is a royal pain in the ass that doesn't always work.
    That and most of them require a device that I might not have or is not working.

  10. What happens when you lose the thing?
    Also, passwords are free. Those USB 2FA are $20.

  11. Where have you been on Facebook Notification Spam Has Crossed the Line (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    This has been a problem since at least 2010 if not sooner.

  12. Give us your data and money and we will not improve anything.
    Did I read that right?

  13. The deals are not that great and mostly off brand garbage.
    Or at least what I saw

    If youre a teacher or artist thou, might work out for you.

  14. Still looks like shit
    Also still runs like shit.

  15. Not surprising that it works in those other browsers since they are all pretty much Chrome clones.

  16. Re:People will freak out at this on Comcast Will Limit Xfinity Mobile Video Streaming Resolution (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    480p isn't that all that great for most phones now. The base line should now be 720p. Most phone now a days have 1080p panels or higher
    I can tell the difference between 480p, 720p, and 1080p on my phone.

    They are not sorry for doing this
    They are sorry that they got caught.

  18. As long... on Google Doubles Down on Linux and Open Source (zdnet.com) · · Score: 0

    As long stay away from making any kind of desktop environment. Material Design is flat out terrible.

  19. Also looks to use the Google app which is disable since it doesn't work unless you give it ALL the permissions.

  20. I see that on my caller ID I will disconnect it and delete the voice mail.
    If I wanted to talk to an IVR robot, I would call a tech support line.

  22. Its not all that fun to play
    Its fun for the first few match, but its boring to play and community sucks.

  23. Re:First step in stopping the cheaters on Mouse and Keyboard Support Could Be Coming To the Xbox One This Year (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    There was a game dev that came out and said that average PC players almost always beat good XBox players
    I don't recall the dev or the game.

  24. Re: Welcome to 1990 Microsoft ! on Mouse and Keyboard Support Could Be Coming To the Xbox One This Year (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The XBOX got its name from DirectX.
    The name in development was DirectXbox
    DirectX came out in September 1995, so 25 years and not 30.
    But still...

  25. My PC is WAY more powerful than a XBOX on Mouse and Keyboard Support Could Be Coming To the Xbox One This Year (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    My PC is WAY more powerful than a XBOX, and with very few games to convince me to buy a XBOX.

    What do they have that’s worth anything?
    Halo? They can go fuck themselves with that. I couldn’t co-op with my friend thru the Halo 5campaign like all the other ones. Has soured me completely.
    GoW? Good mechanics and gameplay but the characters and story suck.
    Forza? I cannot say anything with this. Not a racing genre fan.
