    The answer probably lies within the question...

    Try and explain to a typical Social Media / Netflix user how to do ipconfig /renew and get back to us on that...

    <PRODUCT> Secretly Sends <SOMETHING> To <ORGANIZATION>, Security Firm Says.

    This isn't really news anymore and I doubt that it surprises anyone, so why is this news again?

    First time on /. I take it?

    You seem more like a first timer than the parent does... Just saying...

    Nobody would buy a Lenovo PC and then complain that OSX doesn't work on it.

    Sorry, I just have to remind you that you're on /.

  7. Twitter is useless for anything but propaganda and "i just ate X at Y" posts.

    Must be your narrow mind looking at it.

    I follow lots of local service based accounts from traffic, police, fire, transit, city, utilities, etc. and find them posting information about the current state of things. I maybe have 5 actual people I follow mind you.

    my phone is thinner than yours

    Reminds me of the Corner Gas episode "Cell Phone" where the physical size of the phone was the important buzz.

    That's because you are in the minority and most consumers just want a Fisher Price interface.

  11. Could you mom build that system without your help?

    Given the fact it's an old laptop I doubt OP or even you could build one from scratch...

  12. They are basically bribing people to stay loyal and not jump ship. People who purchased the device will get a full refund plus the $100 to stay with a samsung device.

    "modern ad-browsers"

    Fixed that for you.

  15. 2013 Escape here and the the only issue I had with mine was out of the blue it often failed to sync with my iPhone 4s, I updated to the latest version (3.8) which was released specifically to fix syncing issues with iOS 9 and it has worked flawless ever since.

    On a side note I took the update files and extracted all of the files from the *.cab files and noticed that the UI seems to be pretty much all Flash based which probably accounts for the some of the instability.

  17. Re:So Oracle won on Oregon Settles $6 Billion Lawsuit Over Oracle's Botched Healthcare Website (registerguard.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In sum, the committee says, "Cover Oregon failed for two main reasons: The state acted as their own system integrator (like HeathCare.gov), and the state tried to revamp its entire health care system, not just build an exchange."

    Seems to me that the state had more to do with it than Oracle. I am sure you are great at making "simple credit card web app" but if you have ever done anything with healthcare in the US it is a nightmare. And yes I currently work building software for healthcare in the US at a state level.

    They actually have a site that where you can start the exchange process if you want a new phone. Also Samsung has said that in certain EU countries they will be deactivating (bricking) the phones that have not been exchanged by the end of Sept.

    That could be made optional, confirmation still only needed the first time.

    If we have learned anything from malware people will just say yet to that regardless even if the device is known or unknown to be trusted. Users are funny that way.

    If Microsoft really cared about Windows 10's battery life...

    Actually they do, by calling out Google they forced them (Google) to fix the problem.

    I guess your peer driven hatred towards all things Microsoft and your fanboi lust for Google makes you pretty blind somtimes. It's ok most people probably ignore your dribble anyway...

    Enjoy watching the Apple Event today...

  21. Well duh... on Apps Are Devouring the Open Web (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Pretty much makes sense since more people are using mobile devices to access information on the internet and lets face it the web experience for mobile (pointing at phones) it pretty much completely unusable most of the time.

  22. Re:How is this news? on FTC Warns Consumers: Don't Sync To Your Rental Car! (securityledger.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually it depends on the car manufacture, Ford for example and the now defunct My Ford Touch software makes you manually pair the Bluetooth device the first time rather than automagically. Not sure if that will be the case with the new sync 3 software on the horizon.

  23. When in outdoor public spaces where you are legally present, you have the right to capture any image that is in plain view.

    However... When you are on private property, the property owner sets the rules about the taking of photographs or videos. If you disobey property owners' rules, they can order you off their property (and have you arrested for trespassing if you do not comply).
