  1. Yuck on GNOME Web Browser is Adding a Reader Mode (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or does Gnome 3 look like garbage.
    Biggest offender of having non-Window controls in the title bar.

  2. Re:might be a valid strategy on NYT: 'Firefox Is Back. It's Time to Give It a Try.' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't see how it is privacy focus when there are ads on the about:newtab page.
    That makes it seem money focus.

  3. The new FF still doesn't have a replacement for CTR so it can still go fuck itself.

  4. Re:The tablet or the metric? on That Tablet On The Table At Your Favorite Restaurant Is Hurting Your Waiter (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    All you get is a $1 coupon?
    Fuck, that is not even worth even touching it, much less filling it out.

  5. Isn't there a rule or something that would cover.. on That Tablet On The Table At Your Favorite Restaurant Is Hurting Your Waiter (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Isn't there a rule or something that would cover this scenario saying this is a bad idea.
    I vaguely remember this from my stat class 15 years ago.
    Something about people being more likely to comment on something bad than good so it could skew your data

  6. Re:I still like my first computer... on Laptops With 128GB of RAM Are Here (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Holy fuck, you guys are all old.

  7. Unless they are making it at least 500% faster, who cares.
    The online apps are sooooo slow compared to the desktop version.

  8. Re:X-Ad Machine on Microsoft's Next-Gen Xbox Will Arrive in 2020: Report (thurrott.com) · · Score: 1

    OK. It does look like it did change some since I last saw.
    But still, the ads. Yuck.

  9. Another reason on Google Disables Inline Installation For Chrome Extensions (venturebeat.com) · · Score: -1

    Just gave me another reason not to use Chrome.

  10. X-Ad Machine on Microsoft's Next-Gen Xbox Will Arrive in 2020: Report (thurrott.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    The XBox is no longer a video game console.
    It is an ad machine. Has been since they removed the blade interface from the 360
    90% of the home screen is ads and 'recommendations' (Fancy way of saying ads.)

  11. Not like those companies have really put anything out thats all that great.
    A couple of middling Action/Adventure games is the best they have between the four of them.

  12. Unless... on Google Promises Its AI Will Not Be Used For Weapons (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless the price was right.

  13. With 1000x the performance.

  14. Just proves that they never bother to learn how to use a PC/Laptop.
    Yes, they are idiots. Not for not knowing how to use one, but for refusing to learn.

  15. Bulky. My system is only 14.00" x 10.20" x 14.00". Not very big
    Heavy. Its only 20lbs. 2 1/2 gallons of milk. If you struggling to move that, you have issues
    Hot. Nope. Runs at a nice 40C most of the time. I can get it to 80C gaming most of the day, but still doesnt effect the room all that much.
    Software. Best part. I have a mouse and keyboard. WAY better input than touch. Its a lot more precise and faster. If you paid any attention in your typing class, you should be able to pull 60WPM with no problem. And you don't have to remember some arcane swipe to show things that are hidden

  16. Tables are cheap computers

    I will give you the cheap, but they are not computers. They are electronic consumption devices.

  17. Is it just me? on My Line Lets Colombians Call Google Assistant (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    This doesn't work on my phone at all.
    Is it just me?

  18. Especially if you want to get work done.
    Speed. Piece by piece hardware upgrades. Useful apps. Speed.

  19. Not Gnome 3.x. That was a step in the wrong direction.

  20. Re:Know what else might help? on Walmart Offers To Foot College Tuition Bills for US Employees (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    He not, just slightly less evil than WalMart.

  21. Re:Know what else might help? on Walmart Offers To Foot College Tuition Bills for US Employees (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I rather give my money to Bezos if it will keep me outta their stores.

  22. I missed another.
    The only allowed degrees are 'business or supply-chain management'
    AKA what Wal-Mart wants you to learn to keep you stuck there.
    Seems like a bad deal. It'll be good if you could work towards any degree.

  23. The catch is that you can only apply to one of three schools.
    Which will be ok for some with the online classes, but most prolly won't be able to do it with a crappy connection.

  24. Re:As seriously as the US takes it on Valve Slammed Over 'Horrendous' Steam School-Shooting Game (eurogamer.net) · · Score: 0

    Operative word there being 'slowly'

  25. Yesyesyes on Valve Slammed Over 'Horrendous' Steam School-Shooting Game (eurogamer.net) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Let bash Valve for having a school shooting game on their service.
    Let us all forget the horrendous lack of gun control in this country. Its video games that are the problem.
    What next, removing all the shooters from Steam.
