  1. Re: More planned obsolescence, more e-waste on Samsung Won't Be Forced To Update Old Smartphones (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    There's so much wrong with that comment I don't know where to begin.

    Any old unsupported Android phone or tablet from 2011 can still update apps from the Play Store over WiFi. That's not the problem.

    System updates are exactly what we're talking about here and, despite your misguided comment, they are "that important".

  2. Re: More planned obsolescence, more e-waste on Samsung Won't Be Forced To Update Old Smartphones (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    And how long after release does your Blackview phone get guaranteed updates?

  3. Go on.

  4. Re:Pro vs Enterprise on Windows 10 Pro Is a Dead End For the Enterprise, Gartner Says (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Have they fixed it yet so that updates no longer reset the option to not send your keystrokes back to Microsoft?

  5. Re:One of these days on Tesla Unveils Dual Motor and Performance Specs For Model 3 · · Score: 1

    Or the other EV's out there that sell for a fraction of that price.

  6. Re:Wrong question ... on Ask Slashdot: Could Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics Ensure Safe AI? (wikipedia.org) · · Score: 1

    At this stage AI is just one of two new words for "program", a word that has fallen out of common usage since it diverged.

    Some time around 2015, the term "program" was re-branded "app", and any program that didn't fit nicely into the ideal definition of the latter was dubbed "AI".

    So does the first law, depending on how "harm" is interpreted.

  8. Well it's not as if you can't afford one. How much did they pay you for Minecraft again?

  9. Monthly... data... allocation?

    We're taking WiFi here not 4G Mobile Data, right?

  10. Why stop there on California Bypasses Science To Label Coffee a Carcinogen (undark.org) · · Score: 1

    I assume that California will now mandate signs on all egress doors warning that solar radiation is an IARC Group 1 carcinogen, the highest rating there is.

  11. Really? I am in the same situation, but when asked to work more hours during periods of high demand I just do it and take the extra time off as a day in lieu when the storm passes.

  12. Holy shit it's worse than I thought. You actually can't see the logical conclusion to that lunacy?

  13. That's terrible. Do you not have proper employment laws in your country?

    Are you sure the US hasn't already become one of those "shithole" countries that Mr Trump was speeching about?

  14. Most millennials will still be flipping burgers.

    Because it was Mark Shuttleworth's nephew who did it.

    Okay I have nothing to back that up, but imagine if it was.

    Magical phone?

    Those are all pretty standard features. Do you have an iPhone perhaps?

  18. Isn't it simple? on Ask Slashdot: Is It Linux or GNU/Linux? (linuxjournal.com) · · Score: 1

    I thought this was all just whether or not any given distro shipped with the GNU core utilities by default.

    eg:
    Debian - GNU/Linux
    Fedora - GNU/Linux
    Android - Linux
    My DVD player - Linux
    My router - GNU/Linux
    FreeBSD - BSD?

    So their content is being re-broadcast, and the advertising therein gets a wider audience. Sounds like a win-win.

    Hardly sounds like theft.

    If this is negatively affecting their bottom line, somehow, then perhaps they need to re-think their business model.

    Yeah, because something you have is better security than something you know, right?

    Ark Survival and Minecraft both work at least as well, if not better, under Linux than Windows.

    Your move (of the goalposts, that is).

    That's a curious form of Stockholm Syndrome you're expressing there.
