    They can also use their time unemployed, or their time between shifts... instead of playing TV or raising kids that they clearly don't have the capability to raise.

    There are only lazy employees. Perhaps they should take their laziness to the max and reduce their pulse rate to zero. Useless fucks.

  5. Publish your spec, and get cracking. on ULA Is Livestreaming An Atlas V Rocket Launch (upi.com) · · Score: 1

    The processes that drive developers to your pet project haven't changed any. Go and publish your langauge spec, and get cracking on your parser.

    If your design is actually good, people will work on it. Nobody gives a shit what you feel - your feelings can go get fucked. Developers care about what actually is good, not what someone feels is good.

    H.265 is the gold standard for video. H.264 is a deprecated last-gen codec.

    But no means of threatening the developers' livelihoods for failing to add it before release.

  8. Facebook for Windows Store should go, too. on Microsoft Removes Google's Chrome Installer From the Windows Store (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Look, you can hate me for being a Facebook user, I don't give a shit. My life, not yours.

    That aside: Facebook's port of their iOS app to Universal Windows Platform doesn't use EdgeHTML, either. They bring a full port of the WebKit engine, on top of their own reimplementation of the Cocoa Touch (iOS) APIs (which Facebook got by acquiring a stealth-mode startup called OSmeta in 2013.) WebKit is clearly used, in DLLs JavaScriptCore_osmeta.dll, WebCore_osmeta.dll, WebKit_osmeta, and WebKitLegacy_osmeta.dll. It becomes more painfully obvious if you e.g. make a post or comment with a link to a page that displays the browser's User-Agent, as opening the link in-app should (by default, unless configured otherwise) use the in-app webpage preview, revealing the User-Agent string for the WebKit engine embedded and used, instead of Microsoft's EdgeHTML.

    If Microsoft was to be truly fair, Facebook's apps would get yanked from the Microsoft Store as well.

    I refuse to see it as a scam; scams involve deception. Bitcoin is fully transparent, there is no deception.

  12. I wouldn't call this "fake news" on Uber Hackers May Have Been Russian (thetimes.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    As someone hijacked my Uber account not too long ago and set the email to a mail.ua address, set the phone number to a +7 (Russian) number, and the account location to Russia. I only got back in because they hadn't managed to yet unlink from my Facebook account (so I still had a way in to stop them.)

    They won't. They die. As is intended.

  14. That problem became reality in 1991 when GSM was introduced. GSM MAP protocol runs over SS7, and there's no security on SS7.

  15. SMS for 2FA is a terrible idea, and anyone that uses it deserves to be hacked, or have their customers hacked.

  16. Re:I don't know on T-Mobile's 'Digits' Program Revamps the Phone Number (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    As a DIGITS beta participant, allow me to answer those questions:

    • 1. All lines ring in parallel, until the one device answers (or rejects) the call, which answers (or rejects) the call for all devices. This is for both the DIGITS app, as well as any SIMs attached to the line (DIGITS offers an optional duplicate SIM for $10/mo for each line, which allows you to use two different phones.)
    • 2. DIGITS will allow you to sync your phone contacts to the DIGITS service, using the smartphone app. You'll have to manage contacts manually otherwise, but the same DIGITS contacts list appears on all DIGITS apps. SMS and call logs are synchronized, even regular voice and SMS done with your main SIM, or even the DIGITS duplicate SIM.

    This is bullshit; my cell phone comes up on other people's phones with my name.

    And similarly, their names come up on my phone. Even my ancient VoiceStream Nokia 3390. T-Mobile Name ID feature will push CNAM data to any GSM phone that supports it - even ancient basic phones.

    Biased because I personally know the author, but... give Reddened Wasteland a shot. It's by an indie author I personally know, Kyle Perkins. Cool dude, and it's quite an interesting sci-fi dystopic, the first part of a trilogy, and it's a bit like Red Mars, just a bit more character-driven. Look for it online or in your local library with ISBN 978-1523716753.

    Not a bad assumption. I have a postpaid tablet and data used for "Binge On" is still tracked in "total on-network data", but not against billing data. The 26GB deprioritisation limit applies to the former, not the latter.
