You either don't really care and just keep using it, being selective with what you put on there, OR you ditch it.
This sudden revelation is hardly new. I'm not even being an elitist nerd "oh how passe *WE* knew all along" it's common knowledge, it's been in the paper before, multiple times, we KNOW this, everyone knows this, christ there's 2 movies about the site for goodness sakes.
This sudden revelation is insane, fad, metoo, zeitgeist bullshit.
I'm not closing my account, but there's barely anything on there, I use it to speak to less technically inclined friends and family.
My partner is from California and friends have already sent her footage of them sitting in the driver seat of a self driving vehicle which took someone home.
I believe it was an uber and I think they needed to sign up in order to do this, but it's definitely occurring. The person who was in the driver seat is a simple friend of my girl, not uber staff or any kind of technician, trainer, vehicle monitor, just a regular passenger. This was about 3 or 4 weeks ago.
I can't imagine them screwing this up, although knowing Google, like many projects they'll abandon it. So perhaps this policy will be abandoned for the sake of it in the next few years like everything else?
The law of diminishing returns, fairly reasonable quality components says you're off a bit there.
The innovations in performance nowadays has slowed down so much that a beast server built 7 or 8 years ago, is still perfectly acceptable at performing some tasks for customers. It's chewing a bit more power but the amount of performance they gain by replacing said server isn't that wildly different.
I would say the oldest I've seen is 10 but 7 was certainly still common in the last place I was at. Over 3000 servers, just had hardware support contracts for the older stuff.
I've read a bit of what's going on over there, it's horrific. Or rather, it's going to slowly, consistently get worse, until it's utterly horrific. The place sounds like terrifying to live in, knowing your future safety is in likely jeopardy.
I expect to see Swedes to start leaving more and more in the coming decades.
Now you too can join the misery of curved phone displays some of us Samsung fans have been offered!
I for one, will not purchase ANY phone with a curved display, period. When my Note 5 dies, I'll be sadly leaving Samsung, who I've been very happy with. If they can't have the common sense to offer the option, they lose the money.
Easier to break, harder to replace, virtually impossible to get one of those thin glass screen protectors. Nope.
The data regarding ongoing censorship against fairly tame conservative youtubers is pretty common out there, twitter, facebook and especially youtube are outright fucking with peoples income.
Some people, tired of hypocrisy document this stuff, provide data which is contrary to far left groupthink, bam, twitter banned or youtube demonetized.
Case in point CountDankula, despite only one video being a problem, now his entire channel has been demonetized. Dozens of videos which brought in, income for this person, disabled, money shut off, done. That's insane, that's scary.
I don't condone this womans choice of protest, having seen a video of her, she's *clearly* not playing with a full deck, but youtube ought to maybe consider how and what they police a little more carefully. The definition of 'hate speech' is varying insanely wildly on the internet in the past few years.
Being accused of being racist, sexist and homophobic (or any other phobic) is extremely common. I've seen Jonathon Pie accused of being a nazi now, Jonathon Pie for goodness sakes.
There's certainly conspiracy theorist nutters out there, I very much suspect she is a nutter, that however doesn't mean that general conservative speech or even centrist speech simply debating the far left (!!!) isn't being demeed "nazi talk" by bloody lunatics lately and censored.
"There's a "z390" (?) is a cannonlake chipset or "PCH" - and it's coming out next year - but that chipset is only for cannonlake processors, except there are (apparently) none of those planned for desktop."
The new chipsets do include the rumoured 'free' "Intel® Wireless-AC MAC" As well as a newer USB revision, 3.1 vs 3.0
So what you end up with is the 'premium' z370 chipset, now a 'gimped' product, lacking several of the new features (I'd also heard Bluetooth 5 on the H370 also?)
A real mess Intel has got itself into with product launch delays, push forwards, branding changes, just totally sloppy. One would normally assume you get the be-all and end all solution at the top end, sadly not the case. (I will say the 6 core CPUs from late last year are a good move forward, if you're wanting to hang on though, in another 12 months we might see 8 core with that free Wifi AC and USB 3.1 support)
Oh and when is 2.5 and 5 GBit going to become common? I could really do with this soon. Knowing Intel? Not for a while.
I agree, I get the impression that PC is doing fine for the kind of work that Mac was the only choice for ten years ago.
Why would they make this move and render their devices less useful to their fringe users. Yes Apple some people use the MacBook for more than just browsing.
There's nearly 400 MILLION accounts on tumblr. *400, MILLION*
So it's newsworthy that 80 accounts 'linked to Russians' were closed? Really? Really? For goodness sakes, there's over 300,000,000 Americans, there's 6 (7?) Billion people on the planet.
There's VPN providers in Russia, when the figure is as low as 84 people, it could literally, literally be Americans just using a VPN or proxy because they're paranoid, coming out of a Russian IP. Christ, it could be 84 Americans who've moved to Russia?
Maybe it's just 84 citizens?
When, WHEN, *WHEN* will the @#$%^ing Russia articles stop on this website? It's this endless braying of Russia Russia Russia! with exceedingly little convincing evidence of anything. *Even if there was* I've no doubt the American govt would've done the same thing historically.
I come to slashdot for technology news, not politics. I'm *NOT* American, no I wouldn't have voted for Trump, I would've voted for Bernie.
Another day, another person, entirely focused on politics, unable to detach politics from everything else in society, has to spam their stuff here, to try to rustle up feathers.
Seriously, I'd be better off hitting/homelab/linux/hardware/android etc on Reddit at this point. Can someone, in some position, stop this shit? It's fucking daily and 2/3 of them are barely tech related.
Seeing deals to get movie tickets sub $12 / $10 and even $8 AUD (10 / 8 / 6$ US) per ticket.
Mind you, it's a deal thing, sometimes it excludes one or two top end films, also if you go to I dunno, say an 8:30 session and it's playing in the 'Deluxe' room with better seats, you're forced to pay a $2 upgrade fee on the tickets (Etc)
That being said, they do seem desperate to get people in seats. I've also heard a lot of cinemas took a beating on Star Wars TLJ paraphenalia, big time. Ours has been selling excess cups / water bottles from Star Wars for ages, the product isn't moving.
Mind you, if you just walk in off the street and pay for the movies it's still going to be nearly $20 US a ticket unplanned. It ain't cheap here.
I'm guessing movie theatres aren't getting butts in seats, maybe people are finally sick of comic book movies.
You're not convincing anyone, you can screech it all you like, we don't bloody care. Can a moderator / editor, someone please somehow filter this garbage? Why are these people constantly bringing their politics here?
Seriously it's about time we got flushed with some right / alt right / new right stories to counterbalance the endless whiny Russia posts.
Future was ever possible, Star Trek, Star Wars, amazing technological leaps, nothing bad could happen. I had no idea of the world we live in, economically, ecologically, socially. This place, I have no faith anymore, I have none. I do not in any way suspect we'll "make it". Not as we are, not as we've been. The inertia of global warming, the attitudes of the common man. The decisions of government.
The only thing which could excite me right now would probably be a a rogue planet on a collision course here, aka Melancholia.
Slightly less sombre, I said to someone just this past weekend, the only thing which could give me faith for our future, would be an Arrival (movie) situation, we might stand a chance then. If someone were to come, peacefully and offer us advanced, seriously, incredibly advanced tech. Maybe we'd figure shit out.
I stand by my post in the last topic : https://slashdot.org/comments.... (You people are CRAZY with your laws and cars, pedestrians should NOT have right of way at all times as it seems you do, or at least most of you behaved while I was there)
That being said, someone speculated this was right near a late night club in a boring area, only fun thing to do is drink there? So maybe drunk.
I'll tell you a few things, they crossed in the WORST spot, just IN the dark part after some light, holy crap does she come out of nowhere.
Also, texting or not, there's NO CHANCE I personally wouldn't have hit that person, based on that video. That person crossing is an idiot. The driver is going to get slammed for this but they couldn't have averted it. (that being said, video ! = eyes, and generally you can see better than a camera can)
Finally, as someone else said, radar, lidar, laser, what about all the other fancy tech these things should have? (Does it?) because based on those technologies, the speed the person is crossing the road, the direction they're going, the clearness of the road in front of them? Surely some of these features should've picked up the idiot cyclist?
Bonus finally: It's kind of on the cyclist here to also be the one looking for headlights. The car is lit up and presumably noisy, on a motorway, the car can't see you, you don't have bloody headlights, that person should've been able to look up the road, see headlights, not cross?
Slashdot Mirror
Look at this adorable little chap, thinking Norton Commander even comes close to Xtree Gold, I just wanna rub your nose and pinch your cheek.

Also the opening for your hands to fit through is narrow add you endlessly bump into the casing of the unit.
I hate the things
I can't imagine them screwing this up, although knowing Google, like many projects they'll abandon it. So perhaps this policy will be abandoned for the sake of it in the next few years like everything else?

Just sit back and collect your 30% from sales on the store and please, stop talking, going forward. It's done.

You're right, however they're curating the speech of people with this, it feels pretty dangerous.
There's no viable alternative. As for the batshit crazy, I think you'll find some quite sane people have been done for fairly tame stuff.
Now you too can join the misery of curved phone displays some of us Samsung fans have been offered!
I for one, will not purchase ANY phone with a curved display, period. When my Note 5 dies, I'll be sadly leaving Samsung, who I've been very happy with. If they can't have the common sense to offer the option, they lose the money.

Nope.
YouTube didn't just censor his pug video, they just randomly de monetized his entire collection.
Why? Why do that? And he's by far, hardly the only one, this has been ongoing for a long time.
A country once to envy, now, I'd be inclined to avoid most things they say and do. Total head in the sand people over there.

"There's a "z390" (?) is a cannonlake chipset or "PCH" - and it's coming out next year - but that chipset is only for cannonlake processors, except there are (apparently) none of those planned for desktop."
No sign of this chipset, no sign of an 8 core processor.
Note this: https://www.intel.com/content/...

Oh and when is 2.5 and 5 GBit going to become common? I could really do with this soon. Knowing Intel? Not for a while.
So over the past few years we've seen article upon article about "white toxic masculinity" causing people to go postal with guns.
While I feel like a ghastly person for doing it, fuck those people who've done this over the years, shaming people for who they are.
Is it time for a 'toxic femininity' article? I doubt it.
I agree, I get the impression that PC is doing fine for the kind of work that Mac was the only choice for ten years ago.
Why would they make this move and render their devices less useful to their fringe users. Yes Apple some people use the MacBook for more than just browsing.
Being done for testing purposes by people? Confirm radio and speaker works?
Contrarians? Thinkers? Debaters? Those willing to ask questions and challenge the status quo.
Heck perhaps none of these things, perhaps they simply have a difference of opinion?

If I'm reading it right, it has some kind of LED attached and a micro solar panel. Like it can flash or something and run from power from the sun?
I didn't get the impression you can plug anything in to it like a keyboard or even connect wirelessly, unless the article is missing something?
