  1. How difficult is it to show source? on Symantec May Violate Linux GPL in Norton Core Router (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Geesh, even my TV's manufacturer makes the source code available... http://oss.sony.net/Products/L...

  2. The "notch" is a temp fix, not a solution on Slashdot Asks: Should Android OEMs Adopt the iPhone's Notch? · · Score: 1

    At best, the notch is a temporary fix, at worst it is an abominably poor design. Developers have better things to do with their time than to accommodate the notch, only to have to remove that accommodation a few years from now when better solutions to the notch arise.

  3. FB says data on most of 2B users vulnerable... on Facebook Is Changing the Way It Stores Call, Text History · · Score: 2
  4. Too little, too late. on Facebook Is Changing the Way It Stores Call, Text History · · Score: 2

    Trust is lost in seconds, and takes years to regain.

  5. What's your point? I can get a good phone running android that meets my needs for less than $100. I cannot get a similar phone from Apple.

  6. Will Apple also be working on the ridiculously high pricing of their iPhone models?

  7. "AI" this and "AI" that... on AI Predicts Your Lifespan Using Activity Tracking Apps (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Really? "AI" is little more than humans programming it. Stop blaming odd behavior on "AI." Blame it on the humans that have launched this AI disaster upon the planet.

  8. Facebook sez... on Facebook Delays Home-Speaker Unveil Amid Data Crisis (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    ... they harvest and use my personal data for my benefit, i.e., so that Facebook can assure that the ads I see are relevant. If it really is to my benefit, shouldn't I be able to tell Facebook that I do not want that benefit, that I don't care whether the ads I see are relevant because I generally ignore the ads anyway.

  9. Simple reason... on Ask Slashdot: Why Are There No True Dual-System Laptops Or Tablet Computers? · · Score: 1

    The market is too small for a hardware-based dual system as described.

  10. Right tradeoffs? on Facebook Delays Home-Speaker Unveil Amid Data Crisis (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    ... ensure that they make the right trade-offs regarding user data...

    Facebook is incapable of making the "right trade offs" regarding user privacy. User privacy runs against the very core of Facebook's existence.

  11. ... It reminds me of my early days of computing when it was more a hobby than anything else....

    Yup. Back when all I had was 64k of memory to work with, and I had to solder the computer together.... Ahhh... those were the days.

  12. ...you are a fucking dim wit who has never actually tied to use a raspberry pi, but they think they are a fucking expert....

    I've been using them for a couple of years. I like them. That's why I asked about the memory. (btw, nice way for you to contribute to the community.)

  13. ...What for?...

    Small form factor.

  14. ...The Odroid C2 may fit the bill....

    Thanks. I'll take a look at those.

  15. I'd really like to see a Pi Model 3 B++ model that has 2GB memory. :)

  16. What had been tolerated is now crtticized on William Shatner Criticizes Facebook Hoax Ad Announcing His Death (people.com) · · Score: 1

    Facebook used to get away with a lot of misinformation. No more.

  17. ... did you ever hear the expression, "The buck stops here?" You should be aware of the privacy issues that have been facing Facebook for years. You should be aware enough of those issues to testify before Congress. Not some underling, but you. The fact that you admit that you do not know enough about Facebook's privacy issues to testify, means that maybe you are in over your head in your current position. Or you are hiding something.

    .
    You are a CEO of a huge company, act like one.

  18. ...Which debacle? ...,

    Yup, the debacle where Facebook apparently knew about the data privacy issues for years but did nothing about them, in possible violation of the 2011 consent agreement. That debacle.

  19. btw, has Zuck shown his face yet since the Cambridge Analytics debacle?

  20. Good tactic, bad strategy? on YouTube Will 'Frustrate' Some Users With Ads So They Pay for Music (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Will this tactic backfire? If people want to start paying for music, why does youtube think that youtube will be the vendor for those people?

  21. Re:Is HEIF encumbered by patents? on Microsoft Brings Native HEIF Support to Windows 10 (thurrott.com) · · Score: 1

    ...making it unusable in free software...

    If that is the case, it looks as if Apple and Microsoft are trying to lock people into their proprietary environments. No surprise.

  22. Is HEIF encumbered by patents? on Microsoft Brings Native HEIF Support to Windows 10 (thurrott.com) · · Score: 1

    How free is the HEIF format? Can open source support it?

  23. That is nothing like the typical game playing of a teen. It also ignores that teens are far more impressionable than adults.

  24. Re:How does google know what I subscribe to? on Google Will Prioritize Stories for Paying News Subscribers (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    ...Google will probably expect the media companies to provide them with subscriber lists . . . ...

    OK, let me take a different approach... How does google know how to attach my search results to any lists provided by media companies?

  25. How does google know what I subscribe to? on Google Will Prioritize Stories for Paying News Subscribers (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ...Google users who subscribe to newspapers ...

    Do I have to tell google, or does google just sift through their data and surmise?
