I would be extremely interested in more anecdotal Google experiences (seriously). I'm not sure if I could resist telling them to Google something or not.
Cool piece of software, thanks for posting! I've got a box of it floating around somewhere still. Thanks for the effort, you helped the rookie me and my parents.
If you can use Linux, you can easily disable any feature you don't like on Windows
For those not using the corporate version please share the steps for disabling telemetry. Another Slashdotter posted an interesting video that captured packets when programs, such as calculator, were opened. This was with the settings as private as they could be made: Cortana off, smartscreen off, bug reporting off, everything he could find turned off.
I'll second uMatrix, I enjoy the granularity it offers and don't really mind the added steps of managing whitelists, it's well worth the trade off in my opinion. The uMatrix developer also makes uBlock which is a comparable adblock whatever sans the paid exceptions list. With TamperMonkey running in addition to that I've got a pretty sweet client side setup - bring on the JS for my debugging pleasure.
I'm awaiting Operas return, hopefully once the kinks with the browser engine have been sorted out it'll be smooth sailing for features around it. I used to use Firefox a bunch more and now I seldom find myself using it.
Oh cool, what did you have? I've had crap experiences at places so perhaps it's that. For example I typically associate Dennys/Burger King with salty food, the BK chicken sandwich especially. I sound like a junk food connoisseur...
There's a restaurant called Umami Burger. They have amazing burgers, arguably the best I've had, the truffle burger made with wagyu beef (if you eat beef) I'd highly recommend starting with. The burgers are a bit pricey so it's more of a once in awhile place. Hopefully there's a location near you, it's really good.
AMD spends more time fixing nvidia sabotage than anything else. If nvidia would actually fight fair they likely wouldn't stand a damn chance. Hell nvidia became #1 by cheating benchmarks...how quickly everyone forgets.
AMD sabotages themselves more than anything with their drivers. It's not new.
This was my understanding, sorta like a promise, but then I looked up the definition:
a formal promise or assurance (typically in writing) that certain conditions will be fulfilled, especially that a product will be repaired or replaced if not of a specified quality and durability.
I'm just wondering how the game is so badly broken for people attempting to run it on an x86 with AMD drivers and Microsoft APIs,
I'm no apologist (I didn't buy this game) take a look at the Steam hardware survey Notice the processor speeds, resolution and especially the graphics chipsets. Quite a variety there and not to mention AMD is infamous for crap drivers. I'd be curious to know what the factors are, management setting a firm deadline, the port developers etc. The game industry is known to be pretty ruthless.
Slashdot Mirror
Since Snowden a lot of data has moved out of the US for security and privacy reasons, as well as for performance reasons.
Which countries respect privacy?

Apparently protecting information is taboo, go figure.
Good thing no other languages enable writing of poor code otherwise we'd be in trouble!
Why not roll them in glitter?

If Netflix had been named in 1999, it'd be Vidato... OK... googling... LOL, some furniture company in Europe uses that.
It was named in 1999.

Wow, the Code of Conduct is so hilariously terrible. Talk about regression.
Thanks for posting this, that's really cool!
You could bypass those by pressing ctrl-alt-x.

Found the racist.
The wars on abstracts (drugs, crime, terror) has made our society more violent and less safe.
Violent crime has been dropping for several decades any way you slice it, America is at 1970s levels. What metrics are you using to that show an increase in violence? Even between 2013 and 2012 there's been a decrease.

Eek. Wonder how long it'll take them to mangle the service? On the bright side it's one more reason to get away from TV.

Alain Soral has some excellent points that touch on several things you've brought up. If you have a few moments this might be worth your time.
Thanks for expanding your thoughts. So what are the other options?
You're not one of the Ancient Aliens guys are you?
No worries, we're on the same page :) I've done the same thing myself, cheers!
