Comment Bring back the Galaxy Note 3 form factor (Score 1) 283

I was rummaging through a box of old electronics in my storage and came across my old Note 3. It just felt great in my hand and I really miss this design even if it was plastic. It still boots up and functions but obviously too obsolete to run current apps. It'd be really neat to have this same form factor with current specs. Back comes off very easy and swapping the battery takes very little effort.

Comment Re:Imagine renting a car without phone support (Score 1) 121

I've never seen a car support Android Auto or Car Play without a nav system. Never. And I've driven hundreds. Seen the opposite plenty of times, and been in plenty of countries where when I land I have no phone signal or data but have a perfectly functioning navigation system in the car dashboard that doesn't need to worry about the concept of "offline maps".

Now you are just making shit up

You see we had this little thing happen in 2020, maybe you know about it, it involved a lot of bullshit which lead to a multi-year chip shortage. Automakers actually had to stop production several times because of it and reduce features including satnav in most of their offerings. Interestingly enough these cars still had Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

That will never happen. The people that perpetuated this are not able to view reality let alone begin to comprehend it. There will be no justice in our lifetimes. This will be buried and dismissed like many other things they call conspiracy theories.

Comment Regulation is needed (Score 1) 158

ChatGPT has been trained with certain political biases. It is sad that this is even an issue but if it is going to be done it needs to be very transparent and have options to remove these reinforcements at the user level. The fact that this hasn't been done is proof that regulation is absolutely needed.

Comment Reddit doesn't moderate (Score 0) 152

Once a "moderator" removes a users post they are no longer a moderator plain and simple and we should stop calling them that. There is literally nothing "moderate" about it deleting someone's post. Removing opinions of others that you don't agree with makes you and editor/publisher and should not be granted immunity under section 230. Slashdot's moderation system while far from perfect, for the most part is does an ok job. Opinions are not deleted, they still exist even if unfairly demoted they are still accessible.

You see sometime around when CERN started smashing particles together realities began to fracture. You can see hints of how this alters memories on a large scale such as how the Chic-fil-A logo now has a "k", or the "-" in the Kit-Kat logo is missing for some reason in this timeline among 1000s of other examples. You don't posses the memories in this new reality that you found yourself in. Welcome to the club. They/them/their, gender fluidity, hormone blockers given to children, critical race theory, forced untested vax, no accountability in the media, no accountability in elected officials of all parties, no accountability or integrity in most of the population for that matter are all the norm in this timeline and you best not question it. Just go along with it. The world ended long ago, we are it's rotting corpse.

Comment Re:Manual Scheduling? (Score 1) 159

There are strict federal regulations for how flight crews are to be scheduled since the Colgen Air disaster. Sure having a manual schedule at the start of the day would have been nice if weather didn't cause a cascade of delays each of which required the scheduling software to verify that the now delayed flight was not going to work the crew beyond the federal limit. This software could handle a few dozen flights at a time and could take it several minutes to process this information. Multiply this by 1000s of flights cause this software to basically head thrash and getting nothing meaningful done. They literally could not manually authorize a flight if they wanted to, without accurate scheduling information they risk violating FAA regulations and compromising safety.

Whenever I log into Yahoo I never even get asked for my password, instead I receive a SMS with a one time use code after entering my login name. I never set this up myself, Yahoo sort of steered my account to this feature automatically. Perhaps the users that were compromised never connected their phone number with their Yahoo account. While SMS is not 100% secure, it is vastly more expensive for the attacker to gain access to than using compromised passwords from the dark web.
