Why? No extra box, limited headache, decent UI.

All the other Smart stuff is pretty worthless IMHO.

When are we going to get a decent UI that lets me watch whatever I have access to in a single UIX? Let me put Netflix, Amazon, Hulu credentials in and have a common interface. I know Amazon opened up some, but a wider standard would be idealtastic.

Sadly, my Palm Treo died a while back. Please keep slashdot.org/palm running, it is a near-perfect mobile version. Readable, responsive, summary, and a few comments. Just about what I need on mobile.

It is hard to comment in detail from a mobile device anyway, so just have something readable / navigable on mobile is ok.

I have not posted here for a while because of all the UI design changes. But now that they have made significant reversions, I am back!

That missing comments link is about the only think I still miss.

Nice work! Curated tech stories plus decent comments and discussion is why we came here all those years ago.

I thought they had deleted some comments that supposedly had copyrighted material.

Sometimes it is nice to edit a comment, but it can throw off a whole thread.

I had not really noticed the flagging thing. I wonder what they do with that?

This.

Yeah, the comments there are weak.

Sad that Dice would throw away folks this way. For what? They get minimal benefit from screwing with the design and operation of the site.

They are all basically a piece of glass. The iPhone 6 came out with aluminum case like the HTC One and in the same size as the One but months later. Those were the distinguishing features in phones at the time.

They all copy each other. Nobody really innovates. They follow the leader. Samsung had iPhone type designs before the iPhone came out.

Most phones these days are all the same. Widescreen display, touch interface. This makes sense.

I hope we get to a point where you could have a keyboard, a giant battery, different aspect ratio. Every phone now looks like a iPhone (which copied my HTC One m7).

And BTW, this may be my last comment on /. since they got rid of the comments text under the summary, cut polls from the sidebar, and forced Video Bytes into the feed. These changes should never have been forced onto the community. Some could have been made user options. Very sad day for me thinking about saying goodbye for reals after almost 20 years. :-(

Is there any way you could break into Dice servers and move the /. polls back to the sidebar and maybe turn off the Video Bytes (or make it a slashbox?) Alternatively, could you suggest a black or white hat to do this for us?

Seriously, how the heck do we get those stupid Video Bytes out of the feed? Do not want.

Moving the polls from the sidebar and sticking stupid video bytes in that I cannot get rid of are both "Bad Ideas."

And the stupid video stuff. Looks like we can't turn that garbage off either. Thanks /. !!

Between /. screwing around with this SF story and them screwing around with the poll, I am about to give up.

After nearly two decades reading /. nearly daily they are pushing me over the edge.

You can game university classes too. Pay someone to write your papers or even sit in for you in tests.

We try to have individual accountability, but people that don't want to work in class often expend limitless effort to get around our defenses.

I would like to think that these efforts eventually catch up with the perpetrators in life.
