lurkinggrue··on Apple’s 2016 in review
These days all apple will give you is a thinner horse with less features.
lurkinggrue··on It Takes 6 Days to Change 1 Line of Code (2015)
Startups can afford to have their critical systems explode.
lurkinggrue··on The Last Mac Pro
I think apple had really stopped caring about the high end professionals. The real shot over the bow was the nerfing of Final Cut.

The middle ground user is probably far more profitable and less of a headache for them.

And I have 8.2 TB of data on my desktop.
lurkinggrue··on Everything about the state of the Mac
That seems to be the case.
lurkinggrue··on Everything about the state of the Mac
I thought what Apple did a few years ago with Finalcut was the signal that Apple didn't really care about the professional user thought.

Looks like the trend continues.

lurkinggrue··on MacOS Sierra
Also note: They removed support for PPTP vpn. While good for security may screw you if that's all you can use.
lurkinggrue··on Apathy of the Commons
Perhaps we can use deep learning to find bugs in the code?

  * No Wires.
Dammit.

Lets be serious here ... how often to people cut the power to the house?
lurkinggrue··on The Nest Cam Outdoor is a $199 camera with an easy-to-install magnetic base
My only issue is wishing I could just run a cable to it and get it to be more stable.

You know you have a problem when you have to put a wifi access point next to the camera to get it to stay online.

lurkinggrue··on The Nest Cam Outdoor is a $199 camera with an easy-to-install magnetic base
Still wifi only ... dammit.
lurkinggrue··on Why don't you provide a Windows build?
How about getting it to run under linux for windows from the new insider build?
lurkinggrue··on How to Use Pokemon Go to Drive Sales at Your Small Business
You have reached your "Adult" stage and now you must squeeze out some babies and do only serious things like paperwork until you die.
lurkinggrue··on How to Use Pokemon Go to Drive Sales at Your Small Business
Why?

I never understood that attitude.

lurkinggrue··on How to Use Pokemon Go to Drive Sales at Your Small Business
Across the street from where I live there is a foot bridge to a park I have never gone to in the 20 years I have lived here. Last night I went over there due to the huge amount of pokestops and the gym. I discovered there is a snack bar there that is open to 1:00 in the morning and I bought snacks and managed to catch a high level Arcanine.

There was a crowd of people there catching Pokemon.

I'll probably go back there.

Typical wirehead.

And say the wrong thing in there and expect to be banned and called a cuck.

Wait, That book was satire??
lurkinggrue··on Passwords for 32M Twitter accounts may have been hacked and leaked
Yes if your password looks like: z1c4KzC*ITtt4Ka%vVDeei!aFSuEOTiDFCJ2NXc8Z7Jz then we are looking at enough time for you as a user to not care.
lurkinggrue··on The Future of Podcasting
I can respect that show but man I can't sit though it. Dvorak just grates on me and Adam is a bit too conspiracy centered for me.

They are being successful though and that's really cool to see narrow programming do well for a specific audience.

lurkinggrue··on How We Lost User Engagement After a Redesign
The wasted space thing drives me crazy. I tried the new beta for Evernote and it was mostly empty space that the text can't be in. Please, let me have some interface "distracton" please.

My reaction was Nope, roll back to the previous version.

lurkinggrue··on Microsoft is cutting free OneDrive storage from 15 to 5 GB
Man, now I'm really glad that I avoided OneDrive.
lurkinggrue··on Limitless Worker Surveillance
I run a portable browser in an encryped drive, even then I turn the caching on it off to it at least doesn't leave as many traces.

I'm in IT so I know what we monitor.

lurkinggrue··on The IPv6 Numeric IP Format Is a Usability Problem
Yeah, they really didn't think though the transition when designing IPv4.
lurkinggrue··on The IPv6 Numeric IP Format Is a Usability Problem
I admit I look at ipv6 and cringe at the thoughts of implementing it.
lurkinggrue··on My Little Sister Taught Me How to “Snapchat Like the Teens”
Compared to facebook they go away and it's more a "Probably" goes away.

I'm sure there will be a few snapchat users that will get screwed by this but at least the majority of the use will vanish before these kids are old enough for jobs and the shit they did on snapchat doesn't show up in a background check.

lurkinggrue··on My Little Sister Taught Me How to “Snapchat Like the Teens”
That and it is reactionary to the social media that sticks around. Teens can be goofy and in the moment but it doesn't get back to parents or others... for the most part.

I'll stick with Neko Atsume.
