  1. They told us time and again that the cameras they put everywhere were too high up to be used for facial recognition.

  2. Assembler, not manufacturer. on Linux Computer Maker System76 To Move Manufacturing To the US (opensource.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All the parts, will still be manufactured elsewhere.

  3. Re:Stop using Facebook on Facebook Retracted Zuckerberg's Messages From Recipients' Inboxes (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Never started. Way back in the "before time", I looked at it and concluded that if I'm not paying for it I'm not the customer, I'm the product. Gave it a pass.

  4. Already have 64bit apps. on Microsoft Will Bring 64-Bit App Support To ARM-Based PCs In May (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Just not with Windows.

  5. Meanwhile... on Apple Working on Touchless Control and Curved iPhone Screen (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Siri still bites, no workstation level computer (mac pro), iOS is getting bloated and the Home Pod is a flop. But sure, curved screens, work on that...

  6. And the most expensive... on Verizon Has Been the Fastest US Mobile Carrier in Last Six Months: Wirefly (wirefly.com) · · Score: 1

    so... yeah, still gonna give them a big pass.

  7. Now who will pay for it?

    The cities? I mean, isn't that the point? Who do you think pays for the stuff where you live?

  8. Nothings safer than a raft! on Apple Launches iOS 11.3 With Raft of Privacy Features (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    They have VERY few holes in them!

  9. I'm OK with this... on Amazon is Burying Sexy Books, Sending Erotic Novel Authors to the 'No-Rank Dungeon' (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If I search for books on dinosaurs, I don't really want to see a "romance" title about a guy and a t-rex having sex.

  10. Who makes Trumps Twitter machine? on Trump Announces $60 Billion Tariff on Chinese High-Tech and Other Goods (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Wonder if he even knows...

  11. So... Facebook is Facebook? on Facebook Gave Data About 57 Billion Friendships To Academic (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is kind of what Facebook does... how do you think they went from 0$ to 15 billion $ a year in advertising over a few years?

  12. Facebook launches a counter petition.... on Mozilla Launches a Petition Asking Facebook To Do More For User Privacy (betanews.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... asking Mozilla to stop making web browsers. More or less the same thing.

  13. Re:Neat, but not really needed... on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Launched (raspberrypi.org) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I would, for lower power consumption and heat.

  14. Neat, but not really needed... on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Launched (raspberrypi.org) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Am I the only one that still uses the original Raspberry Pi? CPU speed has never been the selling point of em to me.

  15. Re:For most of SF, it's not really relevant. on Sea Level Rise in the SF Bay Area Just Got a Lot More Dire (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    More of an issue for the rest of the Bay Area, such as where I am in Marin. Lots of low lying marsh land.

  16. Re:Sea wall! on Sea Level Rise in the SF Bay Area Just Got a Lot More Dire (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    And we will get the Water to Pay for it!

    Don't be silly... the Kaiju will pay for it.

  17. Sea wall! on Sea Level Rise in the SF Bay Area Just Got a Lot More Dire (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Just need to put a wall and lock system across the span where the Golden Gate bridge is. Problem solved!

  18. Re:but half did get their data.. on Half of Ransomware Victims Didn't Recover Their Data After Paying the Ransom (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    If there's only a 50% chance I'll get my data back, I should only have to pay 50% of the ransom.

    But then you would only have a 50% chance of getting half your data...

  19. "iTunes LPs" != iTunes. on Leaked Apple Email Hints at the Possible End of iTunes: Report (cultofmac.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    I know, reading is hard, but the LPs sold on iTunes are the extra content, liner notes, etc. Not iTunes itself.

  20. How about if they make the old ones slower? on Your Love of Your Old Smartphone Is a Problem for Apple and Samsung (wsj.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    They could release OS updates, that intentionally degraded performance of old phones, and when caught they could just claim that they did it to help out people with old batteries?

    Naw... too far fetched.

  21. DO NOT WANT!

  22. They did ask... on Hey Microsoft, Stop Installing Apps On My PC Without Asking (howtogeek.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm sure its there, in the EULA we don't read.

  24. Re:Switch to Libreoffice - V6 is Out - It's Free! on Microsoft Office 2019 Will Only Work on Windows 10 (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    But that's unpossible! Microsoft said that they were going to use an open XML format!

  25. Re:Why Upgrade? on Microsoft Office 2019 Will Only Work on Windows 10 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Because at some point, you will be given an Office 2019 file, and you're version will barf all over it. Or you can switch to Open Office or something...
