Comment From the assistant that can't do reminders (Score 1) 16

"Set a reminder to do laundry at 6pm."

I keep getting reminders from my google account days after I set them. Meanwhile, the day they are relevant, the alarm never notifies me. Weird how they changed it. (I forget what bs they gave, but the answer is probably cost cutting on assistant to pay for this bit.)

Comment My Aunt Is Stuck In This Hell (Score 3, Insightful) 185

We have the username and password. The family chromebook crashed, recovered, and when signing in forced us to use our account recovery methods. Knowing the password is not enough to get into the account. You have to be able to use one recovery method or it fails.

Username and password that don't let you in your account. Only Google security can dream that one up.

Submission + - Twitter Blocks Content In Turkey One Day Before National Election (forbes.com)

ArchieBunker writes: Courtesy of free speech absolutist Elon Musk, Twitter announced late Friday that it’s blocking some content in Turkey ahead of Sunday’s presidential election in the country. The social media company did not explain which tweets would be blocked, nor who made the request, but current president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has previously blocked Twitter across all of Turkey.

Comment Re:Windows 10 testing seems to be nonexistant (Score 1) 135

The only bad taste I had from Windows 7 was during the open beta (or pre-release testing.)
During an update, it tried to update my video card drivers for a EVGA Geforce 460 GTX. Anyway within two reboots, it fried the card. Guessing they pulled the wrong clock settings for it, or the card gave up the magic smoke.

This is super isolated, but I noticed the updates to video card drivers got a bit more specific afterward.

Anyway I ran Win 7 on retail launch, and up until the past year. Still have my old hard drive, just in case I feel the need to drop back.

Holy moly, that is gorgeous radar footage.

With the old NWS doppler radar in my area, I have been able to see hook echos happen. They have turned into EF0 or EF1 at most, depending on where it happens. Luckily, most of them funneled and dissipated.

This is all based on their website, and radar images. I wish they'd update from Shockwave Flash to HTML5 for the radar loop/zoom on the website, but again. Money.
