Re: I wonder if this will still be true in Trump's new antisocial echo-chamber?

It won't. That's just another grift. It'll be gone once it's served it's purpose or raising millions for the war chest.

RE: he has brilliantly tricked his lessees

He hasn't tricked anyone who isn't already a believer. Don't get me wrong, he's clearly got a grasp on how to milk a mark, but marks want to be milked.

If Musk's trick was brilliant we'd all be believing it.

Re: You're looking at the wrong channels then.

Or you're allowing it to autoplay the next best ranked video.

Did you not read the report where they set up accounts and left youtube to select videos for them. They promote misinformation and hate.

Re: require you to have your own, presumably consumer grade, Android/iPhone

No, if you complain enough and refuse access to your device they'll provide you with an RSA dongle.

I speak from experience.

Re: they're the only people able to take my money for anything then actually ship it to me

Fuck me, the bullshit is strong on this site today!

What a load of bollocks. I stopped using Amazon a number of years ago. Get tat off Ebay, get non-tat from specific online dealers.

You are the reason Bezos doesn't have to give a shit about his warehouse workers, only concerned about your own inconvenience, never mind the working conditions you knowingly encourage.

This attitude is why we're fucked.

Re: A hospital that continued to admit patients during a ransomware attack

What would you prefer? As soon as a hospital realises it's been compromised they kick everyone out?

Re: I have seen *nothing* in any of the coverage that talks about SECURITY

So you didn't get to the first section of the article, the bit under: What are the new security features?

Despite not reading the article you're still livid?

Oh, an article about a new release of Windows? I can't wait for the balanced and thoughtful comments of the regtards....

Re: The press reported on it with glee, so everybody rushed out an bought petrol.

Are you sure that's all there is to it? Don't the people reading the press need to be fucking idiots too?

Still buying from Amazon?

Financing sexism, cronyism and a toxic work culture.

It's hipocritical to complain about them if you use them. If you think the way they treat their workers is wrong you shouldn't fund it.

re: I'm pretty sure that displayed things in 3D

It did, well sterescopic like the display in this piece. The new 3ds even did it properly, by tracking your eyes and adjusting itself to keep you in the sweet spot.

Great feature, worked well on most games that used it, but it's just not enough of a wow to make people buy. By the end of it's life, the last pokemon game for example, they'd stopped bothering with the 3d render.

You need true depth of field for 3d display to be a system seller.

Re: but the industry is now down to 2, maybe three connectors...

yeah, the one everyone else uses and Apple's.

But they're so special!!

Re: I'm thinking of going huawei just for the break from Google and Apple.

I did, It's an ok phone, charges in about an hour, lasts about 3 days (I seldom use the internet on it, it's a comms device), completely free of Google. If you can be arsed to get it setup and know the apks you need are available outside the play store I'd say go fo it!

Re: and if they can't they yield and it goes onto the next one.

But if the next one requires the output from the first one (we're writing code like it's synchhronous) then it can't start.

I think you're right, but the other tasks that are getting processor aren't in this thread, it's letting other threads get a bit of the pie. So it helps you scale and parallelise but doesn't magically run two of those awaited statements at once. They have to complete before the next one can start.

Re: Facebook has been deleting conservative news stories from its newsfeed

That's a lovely soup of fact free supposition. Reddit has been accused, a recent report suggests something, a president claims he was cheated out of an election.

Evidence is what's needed, not paranoia.

Re: the nearest to a success story is N.Korea and its all poverty every time.

What about Cuba?

And do we factor in the wests attempts to destroy all socialist governments when discussing this or are we going to conveniently ignore the billiions spent by the Americans and Europe to achieve this?

With capitalism causing global warming I'm not so sure you're backing the right horse. Communism didn't destroy the planet.
