PHGamer··on The Rush to Stop the Asian Giant Hornet
time to search and destroy. lets not have another fucking killer bee fiasco.
PHGamer··on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS’ snap obsession has snapped me off of it
are you european. because in america its perfectly legal to spy on your employees usage of company assets.
PHGamer··on New iPhone SE
LOL the samsung s10 says otherwise.
PHGamer··on Lyme disease bacteria eradicated by new drug in early tests
right but everyone is out and about. while people in asian wore masks when they went grocery shppping. i get what they did but they screwed civilians for sure in the name of saving doctors. they actively lied about them being needed so one group would have a better chance. the truth is if you were going to have any contact with someone you needed a mask.
PHGamer··on New MacBook Air
hows the disk on the air? I thought I heard somewhere the disk was was a weaker one, maybe that was the normal macbooks?

Also how bad or good would the performance be on an air to develop ipod/iphone style apps?

PHGamer··on WWDC to Be Moved Online
zoom works on multiple systems. facetime is apple only. Remember they are a hardware company not software, they use the software ecosystem to force you to buy their hardware
PHGamer··on Tesla Is Slowly Pushing Germany into Recession
electric wont kill diesel as towing still kills the battery fast. once electrics can tow long distances then I will worry for the tech. (in consumer of course disel is dead and in some states yes, electric is better . ie southern cali and if your rich enough to have solar panels )
PHGamer··on Trump administration backs Oracle in Google fight
seems to me google should be brown nosing more if it wants a fighting chance. else they will lose once trump is reelected.
PHGamer··on Barclays scraps 'Big Brother' staff tracking system within one week
you guys are cynical but lets take this one step further. the real reason the OPs plan wasn't implemented was because some cto or ceo had stock or got a kick back from some surveillance company ;-)
PHGamer··on Home Price-to-Income Ratios
which is a big government problem which is a california problem (though some townships in rural american can be quite big government themselves). Zoning should be illegal imo but I get that assholes make it some you need some rules. The problem is everyone adds to their rules to control their fifedom.
PHGamer··on It's too late to collect sand
well in some cases it is, given our sand mining for silicon lol. but no i get the point of the article. even if your behind now. start, dont fall for the trap its too late.
PHGamer··on Gandi loses data, customers told to use their own backups
Not excusing them but..

with modern container hosting you really should be able to make your own. even with cheap VPS hosting. There is no reason to live in a world where a server goes down you lose anything anymore.

PHGamer··on AMD’s 64-Core Threadripper 3990X, only $3990 Coming February 7th
its a bit excessive in the prosumer market but these will make great cheap home lab machines.
PHGamer··on AMD’s 7nm Ryzen 4000 CPUs are here to take on Intel’s 10nm Ice Lake laptop chips
the thing is those 4000 cpus are really 3000 ones. intels laptops are always 1 gen ahead. amds laptop is always one gen behind. its kinda annoying. granted zen 2 (or 3000) was a good architecture so it should compete nicely but I would expect intel to actually be more efficient still because its newer.
PHGamer··on California Sues Vinod Khosla over Martins Beach Public Access
well A makes sense if you believe in private property at all. I can see not being on his side but its true if it was not public but private property before the only way the government should legally allowed to appropriate it is via eminate domain and the compensation to the property owner.
PHGamer··on Lands' End Sued by More Delta Air Lines Employees over Uniforms
lol its the 2020s now and we still dont know how to do clothing. WTH , we should already have a known set of fabrics and dyes that just work for any color or feel.
PHGamer··on Amazon caught using indepdent artist's work without license
they're not the same image it looks like (I dont see the exact overlap of amazon clouds the way her image is setup). You could make an argument for palette choice but i feel as if you shouldn't really be able to copyright pallete (though i do know you can trademark colors like UPS brown, which im not really happy about). Also this artist does pixel art which is pretty standard style, so there is a good chance someone could make something similar on their own without having look at her work.
PHGamer··on Amazon Ring went from a smart doorbell company to a surveillance network
err it was always supposed to be for surveillance. people wanna know whos walking by their house and stealing their amazon packages. Everyone acts like this is new but that is the entire point of ring.
PHGamer··on Coming Soon: AWS Graviton2 Processor for AWS
Samsung has Exynos however, due to Qualcomm and patents you don't ever see their phones equipped with it here in America.
PHGamer··on Fedora Devs Looking to Change Default Editor from Vi to Nano
sacrilege.
PHGamer··on Apple Commits $2.5B to Ease California Housing Crunch
the bay area needs to loosen housing laws and allow more building. Its not really an apple problem (except in the PR/political sense), but a supply and demand problem.
PHGamer··on Japanese KitKats Are Replacing Plastic Packaging with Origami Paper
its fine if the product is superior (paper straws aren't to plastic ones). i wonder how this will handle melted chocolates. I guess as long as it does degrade when that happens.
PHGamer··on Richard Stallman Has Been Vilified by Those Who Don’t Know Him
even if he is an asshole, he has the right to say what he wants. I sorta get FSF ditching him because linux is going corporate (which I am very much against). but MIT (and western schools in general) are no longer places where free speech is allowed and that is the greater atrocity.
PHGamer··on Microsoft has removed the “use offline account” option when installing Windows
proton and linux are getting better.
PHGamer··on Walmart sues Tesla over fires at stores fitted with its solar panels
just wait till those high capacity batteries start going. we are going to see some interesting things.

Though in this case, i wonder how much is walmart and how much is tesla. knowing both telsa over-promised and walmart probably refused to pay for maintenance.

PHGamer··on It's Gotten Too Hard to Strike It Rich in America
well only if your chinese. chinese tend to not work well with non chinese.
PHGamer··on ECMO pumps blood out of the body, oxygenates it and returns it to the body
well yea it sucks right now but thats true for your body. literally if someone turns the switch to your heart off your fucked. its just harder to carry around an ecmo machine ;-). I hope we get artificial hearts some day. but oh well.
PHGamer··on Blue-collar workers who become white-collar later in life
its also pointless as the US is bordered by 2 seas and 2 allies (generally speaking). and your not ever going to see a need for them locally (unless your talking about trumps recent border deploys, which half the country is against)
PHGamer··on Blue Moon
but hasnt spacex done more? i feel like blue origin is actually behind.
PHGamer··on San Francisco bans credit-only stores
whatever happened to not shopping at stores because you didnt like their terms. kinda stupid at least for the amazon store. the entire point of that model was you didnt need to deal with a register because its got your face and phone tracked. dealing with a register slows the process down.
