  1. I was disappointed that the Essential Phone didn't have a Target label on it.

  2. Still too expensive... on Companies Are Once Again Storing Data On Tape, Just in Case (marketwatch.com) · · Score: -1

    Businesses can afford to buy tape drives. But what home user is going to spend $1000+ on a tape drive?

    Cheaper to buy larger capacity hard drives to back up data.

    Power meltdown 'fries' SourceForge, knocks site's servers titsup

    A very British headline. Sad that we have to go to the British to find out about Slashdot. What is it with power supplies and data centers going kaput?

  5. Congratulations on going from $55k per to year to $100K. All those years of cleaning IT closets has paid off for you.

  6. Must be "Bring Your Daughter to STEM Work" day at Slashdot.

  7. Maybe those battery apps are liars? on iOS 11 Is Causing Massive Battery Drain Problems (betanews.com) · · Score: 0

    I know some people who have installed battery apps that inform them the status of their battery. One person even got Apple to replace the battery three times in his iPhone even though the batteries all have the same usage time. I wonder how many of these battery apps are misinforming users about battery usage time since the apps are probably not optimized for iOS 11 yet.

  8. Re: Red Hat is so boring... on Analyst: Enterprises Trust Red Hat Because It 'Makes Open Source Boring' (redmonk.com) · · Score: -1

    He's talking about how RHEL and CentOS are almost 100% functionally identical, especially in a single node configuration. And that you're basically paying RH for the privilege of being told to fuck off when you need support.

    Try explaining the differences to recruiters. Especially the ones who don't just have a checkbox to check off but RHEL-specific scenarios that require specific answers.

  9. Re:The site doesn't make money. Users lose money. on Showtime Websites Are Mining Monero With Your CPU, Unclear If Hack Or Experiment (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 0

    It's not really a case of Wall Street making money. They haven't actually produced anything of real value, so wealth hasn't been created. All they've done is consumed the bigger slice of an ever shrinking smaller pie, and converted them to an entry in some distributed database. Overall, it's a net economic loss. Resources were consumed without producing anything of value.

    FTFY

  10. This takes the fun out of Googling your coworker's LinkedIn profile and comparing notes at the virtual water cooler.

  11. Title says Slack but summary doesn't... on Microsoft Teams is Replacing Skype for Business To Put More Pressure on Slack (theverge.com) · · Score: -1

    What is Slack and why it would be pressured by Microsoft?

    Jesus, what a narcissist.

    The "Son of God" claim was always a bit of a stretch.

  13. Golly, Miss Molly... on Walmart Wants To Deliver Groceries Straight To Your Fridge (consumerist.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm old enough to remember when the milkman delivered milk and eggs to a silver box next to the door step. If the milkman was inside in the kitchen, he was banging the lady of the house and not the fridge door.

    Remember when posting on Slashdot was supposed to be about the subject of the story instead of your personal wool-gathering, old man?

    Remember when modding on Slashdot used to be up voting comments instead of down voting to punish users, wanker troll?

    My PC builds are under $500. My file server is $1,000. Take a guess as to which one is more important?

  18. Re: Dirty console peasants will be beaten back! on PC Gaming Is Back in Focus at Tokyo Game Show (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that the more popular console games these days have their roots on PCs.

    Most games that are available for PC and consoles are compiled from the same codebase. One of the reasons why so many PC titles are dumbed down is because the lowest common denominator is the console that everyone codes for.

    With AMD producing competitive CPUs that puts Intel on the ropes, expect a revival for PC games as system builders put together new machines.
