  1. ...that he did a pinky-swear, so it sounds legit.

  2. Unfortunately, even to this day there are many Windows devices sold with 32GB of MMC storage - tablets, cheap laptops, and media devices to connect to your TV. I really believe there should be a class-action lawsuit against these devices as you will shortly run into a wall with these computers. It reminds me of all the Android devices that were sold with 4GB of storage (2.5GB used by the OS), which run into the same problem.

  3. Your own encryption. on Australia Passes Anti-Encryption Laws [Update] (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Obviously, after this, there is no encryption in publicly available apps in Australia. My questions is if the new law makes it a crime to user your own encryption. If it is, then encryption is totally broken in Australia. If not, for those who care, there will be ways around this.

  4. On it... on 'The Internet Needs More Friction' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Adding "sleep" statements to my code right away!

  5. This has got to be the dumbest idea in the history of dumb ideas. Let's send a signal out into the darkness to let everyone out there know we are here. You might as well be posting on Facebook , "We are going to be out of the country for a couple months. Putting the Mercedes and the Lamborghini in the garage now for safe keeping."

  6. Everything since 3G on With 5G, You Won't Just Be Watching Video. It'll Be Watching You, Too (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Here is how fast high-definition videos would be if you could watch them, but oops, you can't, so...check your email or Facebook instead. Will 5G solve that? I doubt it. We'll be able to see commercials where people are watching gorgeous 4K video on their mobile device. But you...low-def video, now not too much, best just look at some web pages instead.

  7. I assume... on GPU-Z Can Now Detect Fake NVIDIA Graphics Cards (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, no such luck for fake girl/boy friends.

  8. Here in Washington, D.C. - it's not affecting us.

  9. Never have I wanted to volunteer for a study so much! Seriously, it seems like common sense - the snap-back effect. And of course, if you apply torque the rotation will blunt the snap-back. But don't even get me started about the sauce,

  10. Treaties are so last administration. We don't do treaties anymore.

  11. 3D on When Working in Virtual Reality Makes You Sick (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    It is very common with 3D first-person perspective games. I've had several friends who had to give up gaming because if this.

  12. I was right all along - they are not bugs, they are features!

  13. It load fast, very! The colors are eye pleasure and informing my day always the site. 5 stars, wish more I had!

  14. Now I know what RAID 11 is for.

  15. Re:What about streaming TV? Counting cord-cutters? on The Internet Is Finally Going To Be Bigger Than TV Worldwide (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    This is exactly the issue. Not that "Internet" is being mean to "TV". Media Programming comes to your house. It could be by a "dedicated" cable, which is probably a misnome,r since that very same cable may be bringing you Internet. Or it could come by Satellite. Or it could come via an application running on your Desktop/Laptop/Tablet/Alexa/Toilet? What is going away is having a single way to watch the media content. So the loser here isn't "TV", but Cable/Satellite providers who can no longer monopolize your access. However...with the recent death of Net Neutrality, and the approval of AT&T's purchase/merger with Time Warner, we may quickly wind up in the same boat, with our media coming from our "Internet Provider", who is now free to offer a "Package" of content and block/hinder other media delivery. Well, it was fun while it lasted!

  16. Make America Dead Again.

  17. In related news... on Apple Deprecates OpenGL and OpenCL in macOS 10.14 Mojave · · Score: 1

    They have deprecated the C runtime and text files, replacing them with the Parrot VM and Binary Code Decimal "Speak" files.

  18. Someone that represents the breadth of all mankind on What Image Should Represent All of Humanity On Wikipedia? (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    ...like yo momma.

  19. Seems pretty simple to fix... on Apple's New Spaceship Campus Has One Flaw -- and It Hurts (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Remove the employees.

  20. A commercial not accurately depicting reality. I am stunned, speechless really.

  21. OF course on When It Comes to Gorillas, Google Photos Remains Blind (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    But the service reported "no results" for the search terms "gorilla," "chimp," "chimpanzee," and "monkey."

    And John Cena of course.
