  1. Sure if... on Only Nuclear Energy Can Save the Planet (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    If you can find something to do with the waste I would be for it.

  2. Yeah, no on Slashdot Asks: How Do You Manage Your Inbox? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Pretty much everything on my personal account is deleted. Rarely anything worth keeping that gets sent there.
    Just about everything sent to my work mail is ruled into an archive never to be seen. The rest get read breifly and then sent to the same archive. I will keep the important stuff in a inbox sub folder for later. Keep the yearly archive around til like March.

    I had approximately 55GB come into my work account last year. The biggest chuck of my storage is this. Similar amounts the two before it. That is way past any free storage amount.

  3. Re:Misleading title on Amazon is Working on Game Streaming Service, Report Says (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    We will still have the old stuff and emulators.

  4. Not in most of the US on Amazon is Working on Game Streaming Service, Report Says (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    Not a problem I have, but don't most Americas only have slow, capped broadband connection
    Cause you need the opposite for this.


    Also, nothing mention on a way to lower input lag. Without a lower one, you wont be able to play a lot of games.

  5. Did I miss something on Amazon, Apple and Google Steal The Show at CES (blogs.com) · · Score: 1

    The only things I saw were shitty VAs and shitty laptops

  6. Stuff like this wont happen. We promised.

  7. Re:clearly false advertising on Verizon Says It Won't Launch Fake 5G Icons Like AT&T Did (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Like that is going to stop them

  8. Re:Only 9 lines of code? on Connecting Your Bank Account To an App is Now a $3-Billion Business (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Gods.
    They should be shot for doing that.

  9. Paypal is enough on Connecting Your Bank Account To an App is Now a $3-Billion Business (latimes.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Its the only thing that is link to my bank account. It can stay that way.

  10. The person who wrote the article.

  11. 1. No it is not. 1TB HDD is still cheaper than a cloud service for the same amount for a year.
    2-3. These statements make no sense. One, digital storage is not unlimited. It is limited by the amount of storage you have. The cloud companies have petabytes of that. If not exabytes. And unless there is a big storage device shortage going on, this will drive the prices down.
    4. Depends on if you know what you are looking for.

  12. Windows 10 does suck. Have you not seen all the news stories of the utter failure this has been
    Really the only reason to stick with it is if you cannot change it at work or the like, or you play newer games and want the fancy graphics.

    Also, Linux/7 is at least 10% faster on the same hardware than 10 is.

  13. Also, NextCloud. That was a fun RPi project.
    And qBitTorrent
    Deluge is decent enough if basic.

  14. There is VLC. That is FOSS and the best video player I have ever used
    KeePass works well.
    BleachBit minus the interface
    Notepad++
    Calibre, minus the interface again. At least to can change it somewhat.
    On the just free side, you have WinAmp and Bulk Rename Utility

  15. Why do people do this on How YouTube's Domination of Streaming Clips the Market's Wings (wordpress.com) · · Score: 2

    I still don't understand why people do this.
    Most of them on there aren't even from the band. Just crappy fan uploads.
    Most have bad sound quality. The music on my system sounds a lot better.
    A lot harder to create a playlist. Or at the very least, a lot slower.
    Video also burns thru a lot more data than audio if that is a concern for you.

  16. Hasn't been worth using in a while on BitTorrent Loses Recent CEO, Adds Crypto-Currency To uTorrent (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Since, what, 1.7? 1.8 maybe.
    I pretty sure that was the last version that didn't have any ads.

  17. Re:In further news, charges are being prepared on Data of 2.4 Million Blur Password Manager Users Left Exposed Online (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    They will at best pay only a pittance.
    When have these ever really have an effect on a company for long.

  18. Re:USB Power Delivery on USB Type-C Authentication Program Launched (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    With words I am. I hate people who use literally when they mean figuratively.
    Not so much grammar. I don't get a blue line under bad use in my browser.

  19. Re:USB Power Delivery on USB Type-C Authentication Program Launched (newatlas.com) · · Score: 0

    Calling something like:
    https://www.amazon.com//dp/B07...
    a charger.
    Its a adapter. Rectifier technically.

  20. Still haven't seen one on USB Type-C Authentication Program Launched (newatlas.com) · · Score: 0

    I am waiting to see a USB charger.
    I have seen a lot of adapters mislabeled as that, but never a true charger.

  21. Re:No surprises here on Mozilla Says Ad on Firefox's New Tab Page Was Just Another Experiment (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    The change broke most of my add ons.
    The only one that didn't was uBlock.

  22. This is not news on Chrome on Windows 10 To Get Dark Mode Feature Soon (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Software with the options to change some RGB values is not new or news.
    Stop treating it as such.

  23. Re:There is a reason for it on In Some Bay Area Counties, College Grads Have Higher Unemployment (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    Who are these people making 6 figures.
    Owners of a company? Some overpriced part of the country?
    My dad only makes 50k a year for having 30 years exp. It was the best paying he found and he got a company truck.
    Brother only makes 23k a year as a tile layer.
    Also, I have a bare minimum of electrical exp and would make at best 12 an hour.

  24. Re: It's housing stupid..... on In Some Bay Area Counties, College Grads Have Higher Unemployment (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    Nope. If it wasn't for the $20 I take out each check, I wouldn't get a return.

  25. Lets see.
    $10 an hour as an starting electrician.
    or
    $13 an hour for being a phone monkey.
    No contest. I still rather work at a call center than ever do that again.
