Yep, I think so.

My wife says she saw an interview where he said that the Chinese drove him nuts, but that hardly seems reason enough.

It was apparently also a vehicle to allow Alan Tudyk to opt himself out of any continued productions, but I'm stumped why he'd want to do that.

The series was at least underappreciated by Fox TV and the unwashed masses, nerds be damned.

This submitter labors under the self-imposed delusion that he's an articulate wordsmith; he's not. The first two strings of punctuated words masquerade as sentences; they are not sentences.

To add injury to the insult, the hapless editor tasked with reviewing this drivel and assessing its worthiness also labors under a delusion of competency; neither is she competent. She approved this drivel as suitable for global readership; it most certainly is not suitable.

Let the tarring and feathering begin!

An even worse example of careless "security" policy: at many places where one must interact with receptionists or other clerks behind a desk in a rather public space, such people are often tasked with first establishing your authenticity before allowing you to progress through the remainder of whatever process for which they stand as gatekeepers. They will often establish this authenticity, as part of policies created by their superiors, by asking you to verbally recite, in an open space where complete strangers can hear, specifically identifying details about yourself. It's not sufficient to be in the possession of a unique ID card, they insist on hearing you recite the data they already know loud enough for anyone else in the same room to overhear. This even occurs in Kaiser Permanente hospital facilities, of all places.

Have I succeeded in making you even more paranoid than you already were? You're welcome.

The genesis of Asimov's psychohistory will be in some corporate data center, and we won't like the non-fictional version. It won't be used to save humanity, it will be used to further stratify and exploit it.

"Psycho" history, indeed.

It's like a digital snake pellet: light it and stand the hell back, and do mind the cleanup afterward.

... must use the word "pollution" to describe carbon dioxide in a headline because self-identified conservative readers will slam a mental door shut and skip the article entirely at the mere sight of the more correctly descriptive term "greenhouse gas"?

The solution to avoiding Big Brother is to free the cameras - ALL of them - from their corporate and governmental overlords. If the cameras are accessible to anyone and everyone and not controlled and abused by and for the benefit of a tiny minority, then Big Brother never happens. Instead, we get Universal Ubiquitous Situational Awareness: much like the intimate population of a small village, we get citizens who behave just a little bit better and kinder, knowing that everyone could be watching their behavior at any time. It would be a Neighborhood Watch writ large.

... then I predict a sharp increase in the male patronage of streetside cafes.

... is for each of us to be paying them an actual unabashed monthly SUBSCRIPTION every month. That has been the non-enterprise Holy-Grail goal for of Big Software now for decades. Those consumers with any IT knowledge at all need to continue to stand firmly against it and educate everyone else how quickly awful things will become if Big Software gets its Holy Grail.

Microsoft also wants this modern OS to work with 5G connectivity, and to include a variety of inputs like pen, voice, touch, even gaze.

...Samsung's power chargers will now be able to support up to a 100W capacity: A 10x improvement over the 10W of a general smartphone charger.

Sounds great, right? But wait, there's more, and it's not so great:

Samsung said the MM101 supports a symmetric encryption algorithm called the Advanced Encryption Standard that enables product authentication.... The SE8A supports USB Type-C Authentication, the certificate-based authentication program for USB-C chargers and devices. "With enhanced security," Samsung explained in the announcement, "the SE8A opens possibilities for new kinds of content and services that may be exclusive to a certain brand, location or event."

I'm not the only one who knows what ominous things that could promise in the future.

The former is merely the sugar coating that makes idiots willing to swallow the poison pill. We need to stop the idiots (again) before all of us suffer.

What else he has or hasn't done is irrelevant here, since he's not spamming and was correct that this article is a Slashvertisement. I judge and respond to comments on their individual merit, as should you, and not drag in ad hominem and character assassination in place of an argument.

And also has a Slashdot ID that is more than twice the ordinal value of mine, and I wasn't exactly an early adopter myself, thus: new-ish.
