    Windows 10 Pro Has Amnesia and Wants You Buy a New Copy from the Windows Store

    Had this issue this morning. Glad I put off dealing with it until after work. Now I know not to bother. :)

    Panasonic’s "Wear Space" Helps People Concentrate in Open-Plan Offices

    FTFY... Southwest has one class and all the seats are the same. American packs their seats so close together, their own flight attendants sued them https://www.bizjournals.com/chicago/news/2018/05/18/american-airlines-flight-attendants-sound-alarm.html

    Apple to Remove “Most Of” the Ports and Buttons on Future iPhones

    As much as I hate apple, they have only ever had 2 "charging" port connections for their iphones, 30 pin and lightning. And every android I've had since my first moto droid has had micro-usb... I'm still on my Galaxy S7, I expect my next phone will be usb-c, and I was surprised that Samsung...

    Facebook Released New Tool to Delete Your Data

    Too late, deleted my FB acct yesterday. Had been sitting on the fence for a while, just finally pulled the trigger. Only real way to send a message to them. I hope that lots of people start to do the same thing, but I'm not holding my breath. I never liked nor trusted Zuckerberg and didn't much...

    Samsung Galaxy S9 Finally Launched....Officially

    I would probably pick up a GS9 as a replacement for my GS7 once it dies completely (the USB port already stopped working a while ago...thank goodness for wireless charging) but I'm probably going to move to Project Fi and unfortunately, it doesn't support the Samsung phones. I like that Samsung...

    Maingear and Sood Defending a Defenseless Position on Selling Crypto Boxes?

    The ram doesn't matter, running 4 sticks of the same ram will give you quad channel if the MB/CPU support it. The last time a Vega 56 was in stock at MSRP ($399) was Nov 11... it has only been available at MSRP a total of 13 times since launch...

    Panos Panay: The Surface Line Isn’t Going Anywhere

    Not sure why being "non-repairable" matters to MS and I know plenty of people buying and enjoying their surface devices. All of Apple's products are just as "non-repairable" and they seem to be doing fine. This sounds like wishful thinking by executives who don't like having to compete with MS...

    Man Fined $500 for Writing "I Am an Engineer" in Email to Oregon Engineering Board

    He is an "engineer" but not a "Professional Engineer" because has a degree in engineering but is not licensed. Most engineers in this country are not PE's and the laws for licensing vary from state to state. Most PE's are civil/structural engineers or engineers performing consulting work, i.e...

    Uber's Self-Driving Cars Off To A Rough Start

    While I understand Uber's decision to test their vehicles in Pittsburgh due to the presence of Carnegie Mellon, etc., Pittsburgh is a notoriously difficult city to navigate, even for natives. "You can't get there from here" is a common phrase.

    Half-Life 3 Trolling At Its Finest

    According to google translate, "Editors, who played it back then" The Banner actually reads "Half-Life: 3 editors who played it back then" not "Half-life 3:..." The game between "Sniper 3" and "Titanfall 2" is "Torrment" ...can't read the subtext

    Whacky Wheels Video of the Day

    Definitely sped up...check out how the guy's head moves at 2:06 He does state that he used really slow gearing for the prototype because he didn't want the tires to move very fast at highway speeds. I wonder about materials of construction and durability. If that is rubber, it's going to...

    Man Tests Real Hoverboard

    I think this could be real, but can't say for sure. Probably uses 4 small jets with the same control algorithm as a quad rotor. I am calling BS on the 10 min flight time claim... the 3:55 video was a bunch of cuts from different angles, so it could have been as little as a minute of actual...
