  1. Re:Member? on Now Apps Can Track You Even After You Uninstall Them (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Already have, but Material Design is still a thing.

  2. Re:"dangerously close to loss of trust"? Well past on Microsoft's Problem Isn't How Often it Updates Windows -- It's How It Develops It (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It doesn't always allow you to that.
    It will just update cause it wants to.

  3. Member when you had some modicum of control of your software and OS.
    Member when software main purpose was to do something useful, and not just display ads.
    Would really be nice to get rid of my computer/phone completely just not to deal with any of this shit anymore, but that is impossible.

  4. Second reason not to buy Apple on DHS Seized Aftermarket Apple Laptop Batteries From Independent Repair Expert (vice.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You can't repair them
    Same with Microsoft.
    Same with Amazon
    Same with all phone manufactures
    Same with consumer laptops. (You can generally repair desktops and business laptops.)

  5. The specs listed are enough to run Win 10 and nothing else.
    Bonus, its runs an ARM chips so the software available for it is very limited.

  6. MOAR and MOAR features on The Future of the Cloud Depends On Magnetic Tape (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Even though we haven't found anything better than tape yet.

  7. And?
    What else? Doesn't really do anything for anyone. You should already have your stuff backed up.

  8. Re:Exercise is repeated until the lesson is learne on Facebook Could Use Data Collected From Its Portal In-Home Video Device To Target You With Ads (recode.net) · · Score: 2

    You don't need the 'from facebook' part
    The others are currently doing this since they are out.

  9. The best part of that is that it is only 'will' and not 'are' since the devices haven't been released yet.

    And socks. Don't forget those.

  11. Re:Idiots on Sony Tries Using Blockchain Tech For Next-Gen DRM (engadget.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Is this because of the DRM, or no one really trying since the selection of games exclusive to the console is underwhelming to say the least.
    I am betting more the later than the former.

    Or why haven't media companies in general keep trying to push DRM when it is almost always broken quickly.

  13. Even more annoying assholes I have to deal with.

  14. Huh? VLC sucks? It doesn't. That is a weird thing to say.
    Not that great as a manager, but that is what the file system is for

    I haven't found anything that plays as much as VLC.
    K-Lite and CCCP never did and always had problems.


    Also, 80s rock is overall terrible. Give me every other decade but that one. Sure I will lose some good stuff, but will dodge most of the bad.

  15. https://en.oxforddictionaries....
    Didn't realize that this was a former discussion

    Also, 2nd grade doesn't have classes. Just one class.
    Spelling is also not a learning topic. English is.
    Seems like you need the schooling a bit me than me AC.

  16. If you can even turn them off.

  17. Better how? iTunes and WMP are both terrible.
    The only thing I know that really compares is FooBar

  18. Addons and Plugins are one thing
    Those can always be added or remove as needed


    But to clog this up with all those features, with prolly no way of turning them off is prolly what is going to happen with 6.

  19. From the article:
    "What I see today is you have to jump from one player to another player or aggregator if you want to listen to a radio station, to a podcast player if you want to listen to a podcast — this, to me, is not the final experience,” he explained. It’s all audio, and it’s all searchable in one fashion or another. So why isn’t it all in one place?"

    Kinda the reason I use WinAmp is because it is not this.

  20. Thats only 6 left.
    6 is a small number
    /marketing drone

  21. I mean beyond shits and giggles, is there anything out there that could use 128GB of RAM and even get close to that number.
    Or anything in the near future. Next 5-10 years.


    Chrome doesn't count. That will eat up all the RAM anyways.

  22. I think they could literally buy anything they want.

  23. No there is not.
    You sometimes need to be an asshole, but you never need to go evil.

  24. AKA we will get more money for releasing this
    We like money.
    And nothing else.
