    1. The pictures are all of a white laptop. No-one who has ever owned a white laptop buys another one.

    I had a white laptop in for repair the other day, it had black keys.

    Using it was like looking at this

    Horrific design choice.

  4. Re:They use USB-A sockets on Japan is Testing USB Phone Charging Stations in Public Transport Buses (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Or just use a USB-A to USB-C cable? Like I do with my Nexus 5x. Hilarious.

  5. The majority of my downloading has been public trackers in the past 2 years. Got bored of the ratio upkeep on private trackers so switched to newsgroups. Just use torrents when the nzbs fail.

  6. Re:Ha! No. on Creepy Site Claims To Reveal Torrenting Histories (iknowwhatyoudownload.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    I checked mine, from my own IP that I do all my torrenting from. It came up blank.

    2:251/56.10

    Hairnett BBS, was all I used it for!

    Anyone want to crowd fund a class action lawsuit?

    No.

    chatting on my Amazon cell phone.

    Never thought I'd encounter someone that actually bought one of them.

  10. Re:Title smells like bullshit on 'StrongPity' Malware Infects Users Through Legitimate WinRAR and TrueCrypt Installers (neowin.net) · · Score: 2

    Isn't that precisely how malware has been spreading since day one?

  11. Re:do people really talk to their phones? on Google Unveils Pixel and Pixel XL, the First Phones It 'Designed Inside and Out' (www.bgr.in) · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's an accent problem? I "OK Google" stuff all the time, including when I'm driving in my less than silent car, and have very little problem with it.

  12. Am I on Digg?

  13. Re:then can create a single wifi network? on Google To Introduce Google Wifi, Google Home and 4K Chromecast Ultra Devices On October 4th (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 1

    But this one is on the internet.

    I've tried Remix and yes, you can.

    Is this an iOS thing? If I make in app purchases on any of my Android devices they are carried across to any of the devices I'm signed in to.

  17. Re:And yet nothing of value was gained. on Pokemon Go Doubles Nintendo's Stock Price (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Purely anecdotal, but from what I've seen it's people aged 4 to 40+.

    And a fuck load of them at that. Also it's good to see groups of kids out and about walking and riding places rather than just loitering around with "nothing to do".

    It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

  19. Everyone's favourites. on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Computer Set-Up Look Like? · · Score: 1

    Windows 10 and Google Chrome all the way. Notepad++ for text editing.

    Essential software, I dunno. I use Lastpass a lot. VLC for media stuff.

  20. Re:AVG constantly upselling on Avast Acquires AVG For $1.3 Billion To Create Security Software Giant (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Avast is pretty much on par with AVG for pop ups and bloat.

  21. I guess they changed it at some point then. I have had an Apple ID for however long and there's no payment info attached. I've used the account to acquire free apps from itunes. I can't really prove it any more as I no longer own any Apple devices.

    Yet again I come along with the anecdotal evidence, but there you go. YMMV n all that.

  22. Re:Simple fix. No 3rd party required. on Microsoft To Make Saying No To Windows 10 Update Easier (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    No I don't and no I'm not, but what's that got to do with anything?

    The only method I've applied is setting those keys on any machine a customer doesn't want the Windows 10 upgrade happening on.

    I couldn't tell you if it's 100 machines or 1000 machines, all I know is no one has ever come back and complained it didn't work.

    Apologies if that's not scientific enough for you, I'll try not to bring anything anecdotal to the discussion ever again.

    It does nothing about that. No one ever claimed it did.

    It's the 29th July that the offer ends, but yes they've left it a bit late.
