  1. This is a rethorical question, right?

  2. Because the current SoC (which is basically a GPU with an CPU appendix) can only address 1GB of Ram. If you need more, the Pi is not for you. simple as that... May be the next Pi will have more, but that will be an entirely different system.

    If the Llamas ate all our hands, we couldn't get infected via unwashed hands! Brilliant!

  4. So? Perfectly congruent with society on iPhone's New Parental Controls Block Sex Ed, Allow Violence and Racism (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Perfectly congruent with a society blurring out mouths on TV when it says a "naughty" word and freaking out over half a nipple, while at the same time having the biggest porn industry in the world and seemingly having no big problems with violence in general...

    We are fed up with constant policy changes for licensing. Each time infrastructure is changed to acomodate for policy changes, they change again. FU...

    Oh and there is the fun tactics of: "So you used enterprise features (which you can use without warning or agreeing to something *snicker*)? Poof, you have an enterprise edition now, please pay up, or else!"

    forget "urban areas".... Even Tokyo is a tangled mess..

  7. well, duh? on Why Is Anime Obsessed With Power Lines? (atlasobscura.com) · · Score: 1

    Because Japan uses overhead powerlines a lot in not completely urban areas to power their homes?

    Just google "japan overhead powerlines" for extensive explanations.

  8. Aaah! You mean, like in all the flagship models of the other mobile phone makers. Like the Samsung S8 or something. That wouzld be reeealy nice! Wise up Apple!

    Amen to that!

  11. I believe this more like this: If you don't spend all your time finding supplies for survival, you have time left to use your brain for other things.The settling just correlates with a general shift in foraging/thinking time...

  14. ... for reminding everyone not to buy things that require cloud access to be useful.

    It's about time we get some legislations which protect customers from companies stopping services or going out of business and thereby "bricking" a product you bought.

    They'd have to deposit sourcecode, patches, server installs etc. in some trust which then has to release these things to customers.

    that's true... Education and alternatives would indeed fix many problems there...

  16. Re:Poachers should be tortured when caught on Poachers Are Trying To Hack Animal Tracking Systems (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No. The poachers are poor, stupid fucks who need the money and couldn't care less for the animals.
    The ONLY way would be going after their "customers".
    Anyone buying that stuff should face at least from half a year's salary to serius prison time.

    But I can imagine that most of them sit in Russia, China and maybe Japan. And their government doesn't give a fuck, too. So, little hope there...

  17. It's about ego and power on If You Get Rich, You Won't Quit Working For Long (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    When you have that kind of money that the billionaires mentioned have, it's not about money anymore, it's about power.

  18. TR-069 targeted on Deutsche Telekom Says 900,000 Fixed-Line Customers Suffer Outages (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    As their first working fix was blocking Port 7547, one can safely assume that the TR-069 implementation of specific router models were targeted. 3rd party routers are/were completely unaffected.

  19. Tesla should remove the feature on Tesla Owner In China Blames Autopilot For Crash (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    People are either too stupid or deliberately abuse the feature to extort money from the company.

    Humanity isn't ready for "assisted driving" because whenever something goes wrong, it's the system's fault.
    When we have a car in which you can sleep until you arrive at your destination, we can call it "autopilot". Until then, just enable "adaptive cruise control" and be done with it.

  25. Same as lmsensors vs. Thinkpads? on Linux: Booting Via UEFI Can Brick Samsung Notebooks · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of how lmsensors bricked some Thinkpads during the I2C probing process. It overwrote some bytes in the "security chip" and wrecked a checksum which prevented the machine from booting. IBMs answer was to replace the mainboard. You could reprogram the chip, but the information was hard, if ever, to get. Some guys offered reprogramming services for a hefty fee.
    The main reason was that the security chip, wich was a extended I2C eeprom (24RF02) reacted differently to commands as its non-security counterpart.
