  1. Admits on Reddit CEO Admits To Editing User Comments Amid Pizzagate Malarkey (cnet.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    but doesn't apologize...

  2. That explains the slew of anti-Trump articles just after the election. Being that I'm not an American (and I am interested in tech) I was hoping political stories would die down around here afterwards).

  3. Nobody has mentioned the temp fix yet so

    On OS X, Open /Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/MacOS/Spotify in a hex editor.
    Search for "VACUUM;" Replace with "xxxxxx;"

    Once you apply that fix you can manually vacuum with

    sqlite3 mercury.db vacuum;

    "~/Library/Application Support/Spotify/PersistentCache/mercury.db"
    download sqlite3 from https://sqlite.org/download.ht...

  4. I'm sure they're made them unique, but is it unique for touch devices or just in the lab?

    "there is still the risk of someone stealing your gloves, which is easier than stealing your fingerprints"
    I think I pay less attention to where my finger prints are left compared to a pair of gloves.

    no editing allowed, so easy way to remove the tasks from the task scheduler

    Are you using the 375.70 drivers?

  7. Re:Pepperidge Farm Remembers on Nvidia Adds Telemetry To Latest Drivers (ghacks.net) · · Score: 1

    Same for AMD as well, I finally cleaned out my driverstore folder a few months back (15 gigs of radeon drivers). Size went from 40MB to 300MB

  9. Downstairs? or grab a kit from http://www.zhi.net/

  10. Re:Accidentally? on Teenager Accidentally Launches DDoS Attack On 911 Systems (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    He may have "accidentally" sent out the wrong exploit, but he deliberately choose 911 as the number (instead of say 311).

    I wouldn't say jail time, but the little shit should be doing some volunteer work at the dispatch office.

  11. Re:non centralized DNS on Slashdot Asks: How Can We Prevent Packet-Flooding DDOS Attacks? (oceanpark.com) · · Score: 1

    You could do it with Unbound I think (cache-max-ttl)

  12. Some idiot biking on the side of a busy (unlit) highway at 11:30 PM or so; dark clothes, no lights or reflectors (didn't even notice him till just before I was driving past)

  13. Re:I'm parting with my ability to use it on More Performers Are Demanding Audiences Lock Up Their Phones (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Pull out a knife or another sharp object? I would just say the staff will call on the land line if that happens, but I'm sure someone will ask "What if all the staff were shot?".

  14. Re:This is why we can't have nice things on More Performers Are Demanding Audiences Lock Up Their Phones (nytimes.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    It goes in a neoprene pouch which you then hold on to, you don't part with anything.

  15. Re:Steam is DRM. on Shadow Warrior 2 Developers Say DRM Is a Waste of Time (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    You still need an account to get games from GOG.
    I will admit you can download the games from gog.com, unlike steam where you need to use their download manager.
    Once you've downloaded the game from Steam you don't need Steam unless the game incorporates Steam's DRM.

  16. The misunderstanding of that quote always bugs me.
    The cake mentioned id not the confection you think it is, it's the flour spread on to the inside of the brick oven to keep the bread from scorching.

    "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche." That quote? Not sure where you got flour spreading from, but this is brioche https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  17. Re:It never has been effective on Shadow Warrior 2 Developers Say DRM Is a Waste of Time (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately Denuvo is pretty effective (for a couple months at least), and I imagine that's the time most publishers care about.

  18. Re:Steam is DRM. on Shadow Warrior 2 Developers Say DRM Is a Waste of Time (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    A company chooses to use Steam's DRM, it isn't mandatory.

    Hmm Slashdot censoring words?

  20. Corsair makes nice mechanical ones (stay away from Razer), but if you want that Logitech LCD screen...

    I meant compared to Palemoon, but I still don't know which features you mean. Firefox 4.0 still has the same manager/properties

    which bookmark editing features? The manage bookmarks window (library) and bookmark properties both look the same as Firefox 48.

  23. If we have an Ask Slashdot category, do we also get one for these posts?
