  1. Remember before the activists got control of /.? on Last Time CO2 Levels Were This High, There Were Trees at the South Pole (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    So much agenda going on here. More climate stories than tech.

  2. Bill is a Mechanical Engineer, yet he seems to think he knows everything. So Bill thinks that humans can only cause climate change on Earth not not on Mars. What a hypocrite! He's has his political agenda -- he's not a scientist -- he's an ideologue. The bow tie doesn't make him smart.

  3. Don't believe any of it. on Climate Change Report Actually Understates Threats (thebulletin.org) · · Score: 1

    Why should I? They have lied in the past. This is the boy who cried wolf. You can't repeatedly lie about something to achieve you political goals. People will stop listening to you.

  4. Gross! on Alaska Airlines Trials Virtual Reality On Some Flights (pcmag.com) · · Score: 1

    It's hard enough not getting sick on a flight, let's stick this communal VR headset on your face for the flight! YUCK!

  5. As the pacific garbage patch is supposedly microscopic particles that can't be seen by the human eye. The garbage patch has yet to be shown that it even exists.

  6. Re:It's just one way to get mobile internet. on Charter Launches Mobile Service, Throttles All Video To 480p (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    If said entity is consuming most of the bandwidth they really should share the costs.

  7. Re:It's just one way to get mobile internet. on Charter Launches Mobile Service, Throttles All Video To 480p (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly, a friend of mine worked for a local ISP and they had Netflix CDN boxes in their datacenter.

  8. Re:It's just one way to get mobile internet. on Charter Launches Mobile Service, Throttles All Video To 480p (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    Are they paying the ISPs for their customers to access their services? If you are a cable company and you are losing TV subscriptions to Netflix and Youtube through connections you built? Did Youtube and Netflix run wires to the customers homes? Internet, Phone and TV as a package offset the actual costs of operating all the equipment and employing the people necessary for this business, meanwhile Netflix and Google are siphoning customers off all they have to pay for is their connection to the internet. Nothing to the ISPs who's networks are getting saturated.

  9. It's just one way to get mobile internet. on Charter Launches Mobile Service, Throttles All Video To 480p (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    If you don't like to the service don't buy it. Net Neutrality is a scheme for Google and Netflix to get "free" internet to consumers. They use more than 90% of the internet's bandwidth, if the consumer can get cheaper internet by being capped to 480p that's good for the consumer. More choices.

  10. I have tried several times to figure out how to use the snapchat app, and this was before the change that people are upset about. I never did figure out how to use it and what it's used for.

  11. I'm not debating the properties of CO2, I'm talking about the inability to validate the claims that there is all this CO2/Methane/Heavy Metals etc frozen in the Arctic.

  12. The church of climate change, I don't believe. Might as well be magic, siting things that the average person cannot validate, deep sea temperatures, things in the arctic and Antarctic, the great pacific garbage patch (this turned out to be completely fake).

  13. Smart people are the worst on Why People Dislike Really Smart Leaders (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    "Smart people" are some of the worst people and done some of the most inhumane things. Last thing we need is another Technocracy.

  14. Netflix, and Youtube on Apple Is Blocking an App That Detects Net Neutrality Violations (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Consume almost all the internet traffic, they really should be throttled to have better QOS for customers. It's all junk on there anyway.

  15. I worked on a Maple Farm on No More Pancake Syrup? Climate Change Could Bring an End To Sugar Maples (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is crap. The sugar maples are doing just fine, and every year the yield is different based on the spring melt.

  16. Bricking is when you cannot interact with the device, making it the equivalent of a brick. Please stop saying when a OS install is messed up it is bricked.

  17. Outsmarts Lumbering Coal Units???? on Tesla Big Battery Outsmarts Lumbering Coal Units After Loy Yang Trips (reneweconomy.com.au) · · Score: 1

    Outsmarts Lumbering Coal Units???? Tell me what you really think there. Geez. BIAS.

  18. We keep buying phones with non-user replaceable batteries. I've done it myself.

  19. There is so much media pushing for Net Neutrality on Why Google and Amazon Are Hypocrites (om.blog) · · Score: 1

    That I can't help but know that it's a bad thing.

  20. I love Fluxbox on Linux, this will be a good feature on Windows! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  21. Thanks! I have Android 8 and while the option is there the only service currently available is "Autofill with Google." I'm using the most current version of Lastpass too.

  22. Now that Google has their own version of Lastpass of course they would want to gimp Lastpass...
