believe me, everybody wants to stop using that pos, but thanks to microsoft putting it full with closed integrations only working on IE we are stuck with it. stop telling us not to use it anymore, and start screaming at developers, developers, developers to get with the times (oh, that also includes some of your own developers).
the ice is not only melting because of warmer surface temperatures, the jetstreams have also changed temperature increasing the temperature of the water at the pole.
with the internet at your fingertips, you're only a few clicks away from any information/picture you want to see. if she wouldn't have found it on instagram, more then a few other sites would have provided similar pictures (and finding those sites is also not very difficult).
horrible performance of the amd gpu, wasn't that what nvidia was claiming? sure, it's slower then their latest+greatest rtx card, but not in the magnitude they let it out to be.
this should be an optional thing, if a news site wants to be paid for links, fine, let them decide that on their own. they will probably come to the conclusion that it's not worth it and revert back to 'free' links because of the loss of visitors.
i'm sure there are more enough sites who don't agree with it being enforced.
this will only be valid for EU sites? that means we'll just get more links from sites outside of the EU.
it's all so stupid, because a lot of news sites just recycling news from other news sites, most cases without doing any actual fact checking. not a month goes by that another hoax got played on all the news sites because they didn't bother checking the sources and didn't do much more then a copy-paste with some word changes here and there (if that). if that is what you call news-reporting, then news-aggregate sites aren't really that much different.
... they just keep their comments private among a chosen few or don't bother saying anything at all...
this is it, all the horrible stuff is still there, but now it's done in private groups, mostly shared among like-minded people. every now and then somebody gets access to it, leaks the stuff, and the group (or site) is shut down and moves to somewhere else.
because you can't see it, doesn't mean it isn't really there.
since when do white hats do something for money. there have been white hats who made security issues public before fixed were available, sure, but most of the time after working (or trying to work) for months with the company in questions and finally hitting a dead end. you use it as a last resort.
really, are we going back to the time when you had so many different systems and architectures which barely worked together? an Atari for music, an Amiga for Video, Mac for DTP/Design, PC for office work,...
much like with desktop/laptops there isn't much need to upgrade even a mid-level smartphone these days. which features does it have to warant me to spend a lot of money for such a device? cpu power is adequate and even storage is not really an issue most of the time anymore. a better camera? the current offerings are probably more then good enough for most people.
who decides to send these things out? i imagine many meeting were held were people brainstormed about what to do, somebody picked one of the proposols, then another group probably got to work on the actual execution, resulting in several drafts, somebody picked one that would be used and it got send out. none of the people involved thought it was going to an issue?
recently there was an article on/. that indicated that the results you get back are unreliable and mostly incorrect. now we learnt the fbi is involved in using the dna information for solving (cold) cases. looks to me that the real purpose is collecting dna information, and all the rest doesn't really matter.
what the hell, nothing but good news, one tidbit about the CFO re-retiring (really, you should have seen it comming that this was only a short stint) and the tesla stock still drops!
meanwhile after facebook financial announcements, the stock goes up, while it's probably the most scummy company on the planet hated by most of its users!
“In this scenario, if the wearer thinks ‘I need a glass of water,’ our system could take the brain signals generated by that thought, and turn them into synthesized, verbal speech,” said Dr. Mesgarani.
it clearly says it will vocalize what the brain is thinking. unless there is an easy way to turn that off/on i don't think anybody actually wants something like that.
This new Switch-Mini, with it's focus on portability, being smaller and easier to carry around, having build-in controllers etc. will probably replace the DS line. What would be the point if keeping the DS around? The Switch-Mini will be more powerfull, more capable. It's only missing a second screen, but then again, it probably has 3x the resolution of a DS.
they will produce a bunch of games themselves which will be 'apple netplay' exclusives, while at the same time have a bunch of other games available which might disappear any time without a clear notice?
it's not about prefering games/internet/... all the time that's the problem. the issue is when it turns into a compulsion where you can't do anything else and it fully consumes you; ignoring your own health and well being (and possibly others).
so are they making special phones for S Korea then? because everybody else in the world is still not able to remove pre-installed bloat from their phone.
there has been some vocal user protest against google the last few years, but now more and more protest is comming from within the company, from its employers. this is bad (for google), things like this could point to the start of the downfall of google as a dominant company.
"The good news is that the apps will all be required to use end-to-end encryption.... By making it easier to swap messages, Facebook can mine even more data to target ads"
how can it be end-to-end encrypted while allowing mining of data for targetted ads?

there was some guy in a cabin in the woods who said the same thing, then he started to mail bombs...

netflix doesn't have one, and they seem to be doing more then OK.
why couldn't spotify only have subscription based model?

an Atari for music, an Amiga for Video, Mac for DTP/Design, PC for office work,
they paid $1 to a big group of people to do mundane, mindless tasks?
they should have used an AI for that!
It looks to me Thompson found 2 bugs, one with facetime and another with submitting bug reports.
Don't know which of the two is the worst...

it works with an app, need i say more?
probably loaded with more spy and adware then you can count.

how can it be end-to-end encrypted while allowing mining of data for targetted ads?
so it might be even worse then 25% of jobs!
if those happen to be just those 25% of jobs that employee the majority of the people.
