  1. If you need more than 10 boards... on Trello Limits Teams on Free Tier To 10 Boards, Rolls Out Enterprise Automations and Admin Controls (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You're doing it wrong. Using Trello, if you can't see everything that's going on at a glance, either your project is too big / complex for Trello or you're doing it wrong.

  2. Not artificial scarcity at all. Seating availability at a given theater for a given movie session is limited.

  3. Genebra Convention sends regards on Urgent Needs To Prepare For Manmade Virus Attacks, Says US Government Report (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    This is all totally FUD. Do you honestly think the left-wing nutjobs at the UN will let this through?

    As much as I support inflicting the most pain and suffering to the enemy (it's a fucking war, not a daycare center), I recognize this won't fly, since all bioweapons are banned already anyway.

  4. Now where's the 4K torrent of that beauty?

  5. "Parents want success for their kids" on High-Paying Trade Jobs Sit Empty, While High School Grads Line Up For University (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    ... and then send them to public schools and college to get a job later? Whatever happened to entrepreneurship and starting one's own business?

  6. Re:There's no money to be made in health. on 'Is Curing Patients a Sustainable Business Model?' Goldman Sachs Analysts Ask (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Alexion Pharmaceuticals, maker of Soliris, the most expensive drug, would say otherwise.

  7. Since it's Apple we're talking about here on macOS 10.13.4 Enables Support for External GPU (engadget.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Since it's Apple we're talking about here, it'll only work with cards whose manufacturers pay the Apple tax, will be "made obsolete" after 6 months, slowing down the whole OS, forcing the user to purchase a new card, and will only work with software whose publishers pay the Apple tax.

  8. About time on We've Reached Peak Smartphone (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I hate upgrading shit just for the sake of upgrading. I can't justify getting rid of something in perfect working order just because something new is released. I just wait until something breaks, then go out and buy the best replacement I can at the moment, which will last me another several years.

    I was glad when AV gear reached the good enough point (1080p and DD 5.1 surround for me), then PCs (after I quit hardcore gaming, I doubt I'll ever need more than an i5 and 8GB of RAM and 1TB HDD for the foreseeable future), now smartphones.

    All my devices have all the features I want, and more.

    Having said all that, I'm glad we got to the good enough point with smartphones. Hopefully, the prices of high end devices can start coming down now.

  9. But sir. Nobody worries about upsetting a droid.

  10. Re:Baloney on Google's Voice-Generating AI Is Now Indistinguishable From Humans (qz.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Duuuuude, it's AI!!!! Everything you can label "AI" gets a shit ton of page views.

    Even my doorbell has AI in it, because it rings when it "knows" someone is at the door looking for me.

  11. Yay on PSA: Spotify Now Available As a Snap For Linux (betanews.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Cheers for the master race, holier than thou, of open source software embracing binary blobs. Like the vegans who eat soy-based hamburgers.

    Yes, I'm a big fan of Spotify, but I'm not a hypocrite and use Windows to get shit done.

  12. Work less on The Compelling Case For Working Less (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Until you get fired and replaced by an immigrant who works more for less.

  13. Musk invents real tangible things that actually improve people's lives.

  14. Re:PS4 and XBONE games are all on PC on Nintendo Reportedly Plans To Double Switch Production In 2018 (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    A console is a turnkey gaming solution. Sure, there are big updates to download once in a while, but they just work out of the box.

    The last thing I want in this stage in my life (I'm 40) is get home after a long day at work and fiddle with drivers, configurations, etc.

    Once I get tired of the console and its games, I just sell it and buy the newest one at the time. However, I usually skip generations, and I never buy a console at or right after launch day.

    And a PC doesn't have Gran Turismo, of which I'm a fan.

  15. Re:Requirements first. on A 14-Year-Old Asks: When Should I Get a VPN? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Except that, in 2017, unless you roll your own VPN, there's really not much to learn. You just whip out a credit card, pay for a service, install their software (if you don´t just log into their https website), and you're done.

    On a business environment (which's not the case in the story), unless you're the admin, you're given a user ID and password to log in a Citrix client. Done.

    Remember, we're dealing with the iPone generation that replaces a smartphone when the battery doesn't hold enough charge, or tosses out a notebook when it's running "slow."

  16. How are you supposed to use the word "fail" in a PowerPoint to peddle VCs money???

  17. It wants its tech bubble back.

  19. Re:Not AI on Elon Musk + AI + Microsoft = Awesome Dota 2 Player (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    He's probably going to found a company that sells anti-AI tin-foil helmets, or something of that nature.

    This is the same type of FUD which AV companies have spreaded for years to sell their wares. Nothing to see here...

  20. OK, not first post, but it took a whole 12 minutes for the first post!!!

    Nobody cares about the latest lithography, most megapixels, fastest RAM, moah pixels, etc. The only specs that still matters nowadays is battery life.

  21. We've reached the "good enough" point in smartphones a while ago, just like we did with PCs in the early 00s. Nobody cares anymore about spec sheets that much...

    Hence, first post.

  22. Re:They're also doing the opposite on Windows 10 Will Cut Off Devices With Older CPUs (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Good luck getting new original parts for an old* car, or having it serviced at an authorized dealership.

    * this is variable, depending on manufacturer.

  23. Re:But why? The quality MUST suck... on Stream-ripping Is 'Fastest Growing' Music Piracy (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're going to listen to it on your phone while traveling on the noisy subway train, quality doesn't really matter.

    And if you're ripping from a lossless stream, such as those provided by Tidal or Qobuz, and if you know what you're doing, then the loss of quality is minimal or non-existent.

  24. Re:Do you want to play a game... on Mary Meeker's 2017 Internet Trends Report (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    They're obviously talking about mobile gaming, which eclipsed traditional console- or PC-based gaming..

    Something you have

    Your iris is only one of them, therefore the system isn't too secure.
