  1. Re:Ha Ha to those who thought you had no wall on Google Starts Blocking 'Uncertified' Android Devices From Logging In (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    ALL corporate controlled ecosystems have walls. Including your precious Apple.

  2. Only a matter of time on Google Starts Blocking 'Uncertified' Android Devices From Logging In (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It is only a matter of time before ISP's and mobile phone carriers start doing this too. Eventually you will only be able to connect to networks using "approved" devices manufactured by the handful of megacorporations that control the Internet. Of course, no one here thinks this can happen, but think of the children! And the terrorists, and the terrorist children...

  3. Re:Corporate Management Engine? on IETF Approves TLS 1.3 As Internet Standard (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is that there is valid reasons to be able to decrypt traffic. IDS and performance monitoring are two big reasons. However what will happen is that companies will delay rolling out 1.3, and then using static key provisioning rather than ephemeral keys so they can still do MITM.

  4. Re:Hmm, time for another Cannes... on Netflix Banned From Competing At Cannes Film Festival Due To Lack of Theatrical Releases (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Like a second Cannes, but with blackjack and hookers? Sounds like a plan.

  5. Re: I smell bullshit on Students Are Using Their Loan Money To Buy Cryptocurrency, Study Says (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    It is just a mistake. They meant "The Student Loan Report surveyed 1,000 current college students with student loan debt about whether they used their student loan money to invest in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin"

    It isn't necessary to proofread in order to publish in 2018.

  6. Even better would be phony currency generated by free/unmetered dorm electricity!

  7. Why fight it? If Facebook can be one of the most valuable companies in the world, why can't some imaginary currency? It doesn't pay to fight the flow.

  8. Re:Would be nice if it automatically unlocked on Cops Are Now Opening iPhones With Dead People's Fingerprints (forbes.com) · · Score: 2

    You must be kidding. Why should anyone have access to anything you own after some arbitrary time limit? The mind boggles at the stupidity.

  9. Re:Wouldn't work with FaceID... on Cops Are Now Opening iPhones With Dead People's Fingerprints (forbes.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    No, but a simple mask would. Oh you poor fanboys!

  10. Baloney on Cops Are Now Opening iPhones With Dead People's Fingerprints (forbes.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This is just stupid fake news. What a disgrace that Forbes has stooped so low to report this. I realize they must be going out of business, but they need to go quietly.

  11. Basically it is a book about a woman who invites aliens (who have some problems with their planet) to visit Earth. They then setup a group on Earth (the Three Body Society) to help the invading aliens. The group soon splits up into competing factions. One guy solves the aliens problem. The aliens invade but soon humans and aliens coexist. But then there is a lot of stuff about humans leaving earth and the struggle continues.

  12. Just like Slashdot on One Percent of Reddit Users Cause 75 Percent of the Drama (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    The same can be said for this site. Man, SOME people are SO annoying!

  13. Machine learning on Ask Slashdot: Can FOSS Help In the Fight Against Climate Change? · · Score: 2

    "In theory, enough iterations -- perhaps millions or more -- should eventually lead to the "ultimate rotor" or something closer to it than what is used in wind turbines today."

    That pretty much sums up machine learning/AI today. A million monkeys on a million typewriters will eventually write Shakespeare. Except it won't happen.

  14. Eventually they will move FaceID to work from behind the screen and they won't need the notch. The current implementation is bad, but they need to sell $1000 phones now to keep the money rolling in.

  15. The implementation is different, but the end user result is the same. I know you are 100% sold on the Apple marketing, but FaceID is not any more more secure than Microsoft Hello. (Even though FaceID has 30,000 infrared dots! So impressive!)

  16. Re: This is a huge advantage for Apple on Face ID Deemed Too Costly To Copy, Android Makers Target In-Display Fingerprint Sensors Instead (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly. The giveaway was "I look down..and the phone unlocks". Yeah right.

  17. FaceID is harder to defeat than the method used in the Note2. However, that really doesn't matter. These systems just prevent casual unauthorized use of the phone. I'd rather have a screen without a notch on it.

  18. Re:This is a huge advantage for Apple on Face ID Deemed Too Costly To Copy, Android Makers Target In-Display Fingerprint Sensors Instead (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    Microsoft laptops already have FaceID type authentication (Windows Hello or something). I don't see how this is an advantage.

  19. Re:It works really well, though. on Face ID Deemed Too Costly To Copy, Android Makers Target In-Display Fingerprint Sensors Instead (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Not in my experience. Whenever I use FaceID says I am too ugly to own an iPhone. So rude!

  20. FaceID is a terrible idea anyway. Notches in the screen? Seriously?

    TPLink routers..although not sure about GPIO.

  23. fMRI on British Scientists Develop Wearable MRI Scanner (wcax.com) · · Score: 1

    fMRI not MRI. fMRI "research" is a total scam.

  24. Most people who watch rocket launches watch the first 30 seconds when the rocket is going straight up. It is safe to assume that the rockets continues to go straight up. After all, a straight line is the shortest way to get to space.

  25. Gun nuts are funny people. They think their peashooters are going to protect them from a "rogue Federal government". Tell me guys, when are you going to start doing that? I would love to hear the plan for your well regulated militia you are going to form (soon).
