Comment That's not what he said (Score -1, Offtopic) 160

"Trump Calls Intel CEO a 'Success' After Demanding Resignation"

No, that's not what he said in the statement. The words (which you reference later) are:

"The meeting was a very interesting one. His success and rise is an amazing story."

Those are not synonymous statements. The former suggests Trump said the CEO was a success as though to equate CEO == success. The latter says "[h]is success" indicating that the CEO *HAS* some success, but not necessarily that he *IS* a success.

BeauHD: your title seems inaccurate and quite probably disingenuous given the way stories tend to go on Slashdot.

Comment GrapheneOS (Score 0) 74

This is one of several reasons I prefer GrapheneOS. I think some engineers are more concerned with "How do I accomplish this?" vs "Should I do this?"

That's why I'm not happy that Google left out drivers from the Android 16 AOSP code.

Gemini, Google Assistant, and anything else like that should be an "IF I want it", not "You MUST have it".

Automatic transmissions have many more parts than manual transmissions. Thus, they require more maintenance to keep going and are expensive to rebuild when they brake.

So, "less efficient" depends on the context.

Also, it's not about macho for many. It's about feeling connected to the car vs just being in it. It's similar to the difference between a developer writing software and a person using the software. They can both use it and get work done. But, the developer will feel more connected (I know I do).

Gotta love how some spread. Android hate about not being secure, spying on you, etc. Yet, Apple is doing similarly evil things. They're BOTH doing terrible things (though, I'm not saying all employees).

At least with Android, you can load GrapheneOS or similar and avoid a ton of Big Tech censorship/spying.

Comment Only if nuclear (Score -1) 102

I'm on board with more investment in nuclear energy with the latest reactors that are smaller, can be assembled on an assembly line, use solid over liquid fuel (mostly/all?), and could be brought online faster than older styles.

My state saw the effect of renewables failing in winter. And no, I don't buy the media drum-beating & social media FUD about how it was failure of natural gas & other non-renewable sources.

Comment Wait, how do we know... (Score -1) 44

How do we know it's the Milky Way's corpses that were ejected out there? I get there may be a proximity to our galaxy. But, upon what basis do we say it's from the Milky Way?

Don't get me wrong, it sounds interesting either way. But, I hear things often that make me go, "Wait, that's easy to state, but how do you know." And no, the "trust them, they're scientists, certainly they've worked that out by now," argument isn't enough on its own.
