  1. Re:Accidentally on Purpose on Facebook Says A Bug May Have Exposed The Unposted Photos Of Millions Of Users (buzzfeednews.com) · · Score: 1

    Hi, we're very sorry about having a leak or a revelation about something way too often for it to be accidental. We promise we'll do better in the future. Starting this week, we'll be rolling out new tools for developers to have less leaks or revelations about something too often for it to be accidental.

  2. Workload seems exagerated on Hiding in Plain Sight: The YouTubers' Crowdfunding Piracy (engadget.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Bullshit. What is there to edit? You download the episode off Bittorrent at about 5 minutes per episode on a decent connection, upload that file to YouTube. Be honest and just say you want us to pay your connection bills + as much extra cash as you can get out of this, but don't bullshit us or seriously rethink your workflow.

  3. Every once in a while, I'll find myself at someone's place that has a TV and if the damn thing is on, I'm in shock at how aggressive and unbearable the commercial periods are. Same thing if I hear commercial radio. It's enough that ads are fucking plastered everywhere in the city, why would you willingly submit yourself to that kind of mental assault? At least online you can have extensions to get rid of most if not all ads. It's not like the TV programming in-between the ads is worth it.

  4. Re:TiVo+30-second-skip = WIN on NBCUniversal Taps Machine Learning To Tie Ads To Relevant Moments on TV (adweek.com) · · Score: 1

    Intelligent people, no. There's plenty of other people still sitting in front of a TV, though.

  5. Why the fuck did you marry/are you still married then? Wtf is wrong with you?

  6. Re:Who the fuck gives a shit? on The Mystery Font That Took Over New York (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    That, and it doesn't seem that common judging by the pictures the author chose...

  7. The cheapest on Ask Slashdot: What Kind of Keyboard Do You Use With Your Computer and Why? · · Score: 1

    I take whatever's the cheapest I can find, 5$ is good enough as long as there's a numeric keypad and the thing is black. If the mouse comes with it and the lot is under 10$, all the better.

  8. Re:they really believed they were on Mars. on Hawaii's Mars Simulations Are Canceled (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    If it's work related, I'm currently simulating life on a deep-space probe and it seems we lost all power systems.

  9. Re:Candy Crush? on 'Windows Isn't a Service, It's an Operating System' (howtogeek.com) · · Score: 1

    I stay the fuck away from Windows Update, SP1 is the only update this Win 7 will ever know.

  10. That's all well and good, but... on Blockchain Gaming Is Coming to the PS4 (sludgefeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Does it have disruptive AI? If not, you can forget about synergy!

    Warning: you might be surrounded by idiots.

    Have you seen them FOLDABLE SCREENS? Check this out!

  13. Candy Crush? on 'Windows Isn't a Service, It's an Operating System' (howtogeek.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait... did MS really force Candy Crush on people's PCs? I mean, I'm not surprised or anything, what with shoving down ads down your start menu etc. I'm more appalled that they're getting away with this shit at all. God, I'm never letting go of that Win7 disc.

  14. Implanted before there was a reason to... on How I Got Locked Out of the Chip Implanted In My Hand (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So this guy got a chip implanted in his hand -before- having any idea what he would do with it... I like how he talks about human incompetence, though plain old stupidity seems more at play here.

  15. Re:If it were impossible on Is Quantum Computing Impossible? (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    Well, I guess we should just take their word. Just like when Wal-mart says it's doing a lot of good for local communities.

  16. Re:Makes cord cutting that much easier on YouTube Now Streams Free Ad-Supported Movies -- Including 'The Terminator' and 'Hackers' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, but cutting the cord AND staying away from ad-supported content means you're free from ads entirely. (with a helping of NoScript and Adblock)
    Try it, you won't go back.

  17. Re:Waaaaiiit a second.. on Mars Opportunity Rover Appears To Contact Earth; Turns Out To Be a False Alarm (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Besides the offtopic, are "the usual suspects" the poor? The fuck is wrong with you?

  18. Re:This is just what I needed! on Microsoft is Testing Ads in Mail App For Windows 10 in Select Markets (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Forgot to add: yes, a tablet interface is exactly what I want for my workstation. Can you make it so there's ads in-between my program icons, and make it as non-intuitive as possible?

  19. Re:This is just what I needed! on Microsoft is Testing Ads in Mail App For Windows 10 in Select Markets (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Seriously, I don't recall any news article, secondhand opinion, update/feature announcement, hell -any- information regarding Windows 10 that didn't make me go "Never."
    That, and the idea of using something called Microsoft Mail takes me back to the dial-up days and using Outlook. Why would anyone do this to themselves in 2018? If they don't know any better, sure, but you can't be knowledgeable about computers and use this shit unless you're forced to.

  20. Note to everyone: millienial doesn't mean a thing. Should we assume everyone in your generation is a pedantic, arrogant prick?

  21. A quality think tank would make sure you can't tell it's from a think tank.

  22. Judging from this case, it seems Premiere just clears the whole thing, which is pretty stupid.

  23. I install and run AV + anti-malware once a month or so, then uninstall afterwards so I don't have a resident program scanning data when I don't want it to.

  24. Well, there's these things called contracts that stipulate how much you'll be paid for editing X footage for Y purpose, paid by Z.

  25. Easy to say, but as a fellow video editor, I can't keep -everything- forever. When you're dealing with a project in the terabytes worth of footage, I'm sorry but the client better have a backup on their end. In this case, it sounds like some of it is his footage. Should still have been able to recover it unless he wrote all over each of those sectors again. In any case, Premiere should NOT be erasing files that are not associated with a project, but I'm not surprised that it does. That's why my cache folder is called "Premiere cache". :P
