Comment No innovation (Score 1) 81

I've had 3 company issues iPhones. The last 3, an XR, 13, and 15 were indistinguishable performancewise. I couldn't even physically see a difference between the 13 and 15 other than the charging port. They could have just handed me the same phone year after year and I wouldn't have noticed.

I'd be fine with this. Recently Audible removed a book from my library and essentially told me to kick rocks. I'd listened to it when I first got it, and although I wanted to go back and check something in one of the chapters (which is how I found the book was no longer available), it's not the end of the world: it's just $15 they stole from me.

I'm glad you got to have kids and watch them grow from birth. I never got to do that; I married a gal and the boys were already ten and eleven years old when I entered their life.

Comment Re:Not a bad thing, necessarily (Score 1) 91

I agree. I think a second benefit could be that interested high school (or college) students now get a data source that doesn't change locations from administration to administration. It is mildly frustrating to me that many government websites simply change where things are each year. Worse is when a department goes through the amazingly beneficial operation of name change. /s

Comment If Lemkin were not a “founder” (Score 5, Insightful) 151

that would 100% be a firing offence.

Honestly, setting an AI you don’t control lose on your production database? Really? That’s just gross incompetence. This is code that a) wasn’t written or reviewed by a human, and b) code that wasn’t even tested on a development copy of the database.

Developers that do things like that are a liability. Unfortunately as “founder” he’ll likely just post something on LinkedIn about learning from his mistakes and “personal growth”, and that will be the end of it. Anyone else would have been shown the door to accelerate their “personal growth”.

Doesn't ANYBODY but me remember that "Napster" was actually RealNetworks? You know, the old Real.com that was the Internet's first scale, commercial streamer? Real became Rhapsody for several years. Rhapsody had no name recognition, so they bought the Napster name from it's owners... BEST BUY.

It gets weirder. Rhapsody had been Sonos' partner streaming service - and Rhapsody is also... I HEART RADIO. Now the whole Napster lot got dumped in the lap of venture capital vultures.

I've noticed that people who are disagreeing with people who reference the law or constitution directly as the source of decisions are being flagged as Off Topic or Troll.

We have gotten so far away from what is actual constitutional and what is not that people can't handle being shown what is true.

Comment I use their wireless adapters a lot (Score 1) 41

The T3U Plus for the price is a great adapter. We keep them around at work whenever someone needs to move a PC somewhere that doesn't have a network port and their not willing to pay to have a new line run. The regular T3U or the nano adapters though do not work very well. Stick to the T3U Plus.
