  1. Re:And I hope but don't hold my breath on Government Officials Begin Investigating Equifax Breach (thehill.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Under the law Equifax is the "victim", not us. That is unlikely to change with the current US administration.

  2. Docks need to die on Linux.com Raves About New Snap-Centric 'Nitrux' Distro (linux.com) · · Score: 2

    Apple's dock concept needs to die, while designers like it because its "simple" in reality its more complicated to use than a traditional taskbar and is a less efficient use of space.

  3. Re:it was a scam on Juicero, Maker of the Infamous $400 Juicer, Is Shutting Down (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Over engineered or over designed? I would bet it was mostly done for an image & industrial design perspective than a mechanical engineering.

  4. Dupe on 'No Fire Risk' With New Lithium Batteries (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Isn't this the 800th time we've seen someone claiming this? Maybe stop giving this topic press until someone starts building a factory.

  5. Facebook isn't lying, its counting the information provided to it by users.

  6. Do the authors of the article really not know that people use fake ages, have two accounts, etc.

  7. Re:Easily sabotaged on India Just Might Be Getting a Hyperloop (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should watch this video.

    All the problems of deep space travel, bought down to the surface of the planet, such that you can travel about the speed of a bullet within a couple of cm of a gun barrel.

  8. Cyberchondria on How One Writer Is Battling Tech-Induced Attention Disorder (wired.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you didn't go see a trained professional for a diagnosis, then what you have is called Cyberchondria

  9. New Submitter? on How One Writer Is Battling Tech-Induced Attention Disorder (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    She's been spamming for her employer Wired for ages and has had other stories make it...

  10. Cost Will be an Issue on Microsoft Extends Free Windows 10 S-To-Pro Upgrade Deadline (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    While $50 isn't that much if you've bought a $1500 Windows Laptop, if for a user who purchases a $200 laptop and suddenly needs to pay another $50 in order to use the applications they need - that user isn't going to be happy.

  11. Re:Surely this is lose lose? on Microsoft Extends Free Windows 10 S-To-Pro Upgrade Deadline (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Microsoft that wasn't the point - hence putting it on the fairly expensive Windows Laptop.

  12. Pointless Article on Two-Thirds of Tech Workers Now Use a VPN, Survey Finds (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    About a meaningless statistic.

  13. Lets be honest here though, at the time he developed the idea PC rendering was pretty simple so the content he was thinking of likely bares no resemblance to what we show today. Heck it was probably 12-15 years before designers took over the web.

  14. Re:Why Would Google Bother on Creator of Opera Says Google Deliberately Undermined His New Vivaldi Web Browser (wired.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Or maybe I'm just pointing out that the CEO of Vivaldi is blaming others for failure instead of accepting responsibility for understanding the market?

  15. Why Would Google Bother on Creator of Opera Says Google Deliberately Undermined His New Vivaldi Web Browser (wired.co.uk) · · Score: 0, Troll

    The market share of these niche browsers has always been a rounding error, the chance of Vivaldi having any sort of market was always zero.

  20. Re:Pay More Money on US Employers Struggle To Match Workers With Open Jobs (npr.org) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Oh no, corporations only follow capitalism when they're the sellers. The rest of the time they want to suckle at the public teat.

  21. I mean, Apple is the most highly valued company in the world and if they can't take Amazon to task who will?

    Consumers - eventually Amazon will expend the trust in its brand and people won't purchase there.

    Unfortunately it seems every store is chasing the cash and following this model e.g. Newegg, Bestbuy, Walmart

  22. Re:Aren't they an ops company? on Amazon Sold Eclipse Glasses That Cause 'Permanent Blindness,' Alleges Lawsuit (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    There is another one where someone lists a product higher on ebay than they can buy it from Amazon, then has Amazon ship the item directly to the ebay purchaser.

    If the purchaser happens to notice that the item is cheaper on Amazon they might return it, the ebay seller loses nothing and the company using Amazon for shipping eats shipping costs and has a product that is now 'used'.

    People went with Slack because its trendy, no other reason. A number of good tools already existed in the space.

    The easiest way is to have an archive on a webserver somewhere and just a normal IRC client. If that isn't sufficient - congratulations you turned chat into email. Have fun.
