Comment Re:Well, is Enigma's software junk or not? (Score 1) 38

wikipedia
SpyHunter is often labeled an Potentially Unwanted Program due to its misleading results of always showing infections, including on clean computers, and injects tracking cookies into a users browser, raising concern whether it is legitimate or not. The company also floods web search results when searching for a specific threat, linking a download to SpyHunter, even if the product is not able to remove it.

Comment Redlining had little or nothing to do with rural. (Score 3, Interesting) 155

It was race based. I am in a former redline area. There has been fiber 2 to 4 blocks in every direction from me for 5 years. There are also no grocery stores, fast food or chain coffee shops. This is in the city where there are sometimes 2 Starbucks on the same block. (Seattle)
20 years ago I had to manipulate the telco by ordering multiple fax lines to get them to replace the ancient 25 pair that fed 3 blocks so my former redline neighborhood could get DSL.

This republican FCC strategy is still race based today.

I have calibre, and 15 gb archive from alt.binaries.ebooks 1996 to 2004 but I am currently reading mostly elf-porn via kindle unlimited (due to the cost of ebooks)... But I know a several people who can no longer use an ereader due to disability. and I will join them when my hands don't work eventually.

Comment "next!" to turn the page (Score 1) 46

"TensorFlow-trained AI model to intelligently process voice commands so you can quietly mutter "next!" to turn the page instead of reaching for one of the ereader's physical buttons like a neanderthal.

Those of us who are disabled have begged for this for decades. Even alexa is unable to interface with kindles reader api to do this one simple thing..
