  1. Re:User data to valuable to opt out on Mozilla Testing an Opt-Out System For Firefox Telemetry Collection (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Key point here. On Mozilla's side, they say they will let you opt out easily.

    The users were already opted out. Mozilla will involuntarily opt them in, then give them the option to opt out.

    If at least there is an actual option to opt out, that's still good news.

    Did you even read the summary????

    The problem Mozilla has is everyone has the telemetry turned off. They're going to turn it back on (without asking), and then give you the option to turn it off again (which shouldn't be necessary if it was already off).

    How much spyware and adware does Sony try to cram down everyone's throat

    audio CD rootkit. I had to reinstall windows 98. something only 90's kids will remember.

    How many DRM filled and always online single-player games are Sony selling

    I'm not sure why we'd want food safety monitoring to be either encrypted or decentralized....... both of those sound like the opposite of what would be good for consumers.

    I think you have some confused idea of what a "sensor" is, and what the software needs to do.

    Can your cell phone camera take a picture of a white truck on a cloudy day? Sure it can. Can the software of a potential self-driving system identify the white truck? That's the problem.

    Yes but let me ask you a question if the Nazis had one the war do you think even one German officer would have faced prosecution for "war cries"?

    No, but the USAF and RAF perpetrators of "area bombing" would have.

    An IP address is no more difficult to type into a browser's address bar than a DNS name, nor is a link to an IP address any harder to click on.

    Let me know when you manage to get your grandmother to access facebook by typing in the IP.

    Also, sometimes the IP isn't enough. Try typing in the IP of your website on a shared hosting service.

    It's a somewhat grey area, but Google has made it not grey. By taking responsibility for one racist website's content, they are taking responsibility for all the other websites they host. Great PR move, terri-bad legal move.

  16. P4s were easy-bake ovens, but at least they were stable. Pair a Clawhammer with 4 sticks of RAM, and see if it's dual dual-channel memory controller can actually handle it (hint: it can't). AMD's official stance on that little problem: motherboard problem. My stance: same problem on different motherboards with different chipsets? no.

  17. Maybe people tend to run benchmarks on their brand-new hardware, and not the hardware that they've been using for a while? Just a thought.

    ....Which then implies that Ryzen has 26% of sales vs. Intel products. Derp.

  18. Dude. I love AMD, but clawhammer (Athlon64) was fucking garbage.

    That's absolutely retarded. If you want to throw out time entirely you're throwing out causality. At that point, you're just saying "fuck it" and allowing anything to happen up until the big bang, then you have a specific set of weird rules for the first moments of the big bang, then you have the actual rules that we know and can test.

    Welcome to theoretical cosmology.

    Most companies do NOT have IT departments. They outsource that on a break/fix basis, and do NOT want to pay for maintenance.

    The point of universal income is to still be able to have a consumer class when robots/AI have taken 99% of our jobs. This is NOT altruism, this is very forward-thinking greed.
