    Hackers Use Stolen Credentials from Data Breaches to "Hack" a Nest Thermostat

    Fundamental to who? You and I on this tech site. Absolutely. Average Joe who can't even seem to figure out they have no audio because the mute was checked in windows. I don't think so. Someone above said they write theirs down in a notebook and leave by PC. That's nice, but most of these...

    California Lawmaker Wants to Move toward E-receipts

    How do I check my receipt immediately to make sure I am not overcharged???? Oh that's right I cannot. Why should I have to set up a junk email address, (I already have one), just to view my receipt. More BS. Oh what about rebates? Need an original receipt. Oh what if I do find an error so...

    Picard Will Lead "Radically Altered" Life in New Star Trek Series

    If I am not mistaken did they not find many pieces of data's "brother" and had them all assembled before data was killed in Nemesis. I am almost 100% positive of that. My question is why does Data or Data's brother have gray hair.

    Google Chrome's New UI Is Ugly, and People Are Very Angry

    Amen brother amen. We are in total agreement. Every time I go to a web page I feel like the designer thinks I am 4 years old and I can't read anything but big text on a white background. There is no, and I repeat no, intuitiveness in any mobile design. It is like they forgot how to design a...

    Windows 10 Version 1809 Is Getting a Re-Release Today

    I don't think people are expressing they want truly excellent. Windows 7 was far beyond excellent, but it was extremely good. It had quite a few bugs itself, but it is far superior an OS over the crap Microsoft pushes today. Every update is filled with new features while other features remain...

    Robots Replace Waiters at the 'Robot.He' Restaurant in Shanghai

    Well I have waited and 3 of my 4 daughters have. Skill is not the word I would use. Attentive, courteous, friendly, and personable, but there is no skill involved unless you count carrying food a skill. And it is not. Even if they can carry 8 plates at a time. I am not saying the work is...

    Nintendo And Microsoft Are Rubbing Sony's Face In It

    Yes it does. Sony only locks the Fortnite account down so you can't go into another system, AKA XBOX, and log in with your Playstation Fortnite Account. Still shitty but Sony is not disallowing crossplay.

    Theaters Add Strobe Light Warning to “Incredibles 2” after Epilepsy Concerns

    Wow this is both so wrong it is funny and correct. "They should just not put this shit in the movies to begin with." is wrong. It is up to an individual to know what they can watch or not. A warning is fine, but if we remove all instances that harm any single person or group from our every...

    From Wiki (Overall, there were an estimated 263.6 million registered passenger vehicles in the United States in 2015.

    Tesla Autopilot One Again Proves Crumple Zones Work

    Some here are living in a fantasy world. I have a cell phone that can't auto-correct what I type correctly. I have an OS that cannot give updates without borking a bunch of PCs. I have software that is production release quality that crashes all the time. I have voice recognition in my car...

    Arrogant aren't we? Some people may not want to charge a set of ear buds. I don't. Besides sound quality from earbuds is awful and then pair that up with bluetooth and the sound quality is even worse, but hey, this new teknologee roks. Not to mention it is very possibrl to lose one earbud...

    Microsoft's August Patch Tuesday Fixes 48 Security Issues

    Most people aren't smart enough to know it's a POS OS. They just use it because there is really no other option for them. Fortunately there are those of us smart enough to know better.

    I have 7 lines and with my company discount I only pay 132 a month, however it is not unlimited data, only 2.5 GB as we rarely use Mobile Data. Wifi FTW.

    Tesla Starts Pre-Orders on Solar Roof for $1,000, Rolls out Calculator for Costs

    I want the electric bills some of you have. My house is 3800 SQ feet, 2 stories with 2 central air units and in Indiana when it gets hot my electric bill tops 400 a month and in the winter when my gas furnaces kick in (2 of them also) it still tops 150 a month. As for the Tesla shingles I will...

    Microsoft Officially Unveils Project Neon, the “Fluent Design System” for Windows 10

    What am I missing here? It looks like a way to add depth and motion and and other things to Windows. Correct? Well we had depth and beautiful icons and 3D icons in Windows 7 and then the abomination of Win 8 and 10 came out and got rid of all of that for a flat ugly UI. So now Microsoft...

    Microsoft Tells Computer Makers How to Make PCs Cool Again

    Then not the kernal. I can tell you this. In Windows 7 both IE and Firefox gave me huge issues after being open with several tabs for a few hours. I do not have that problem in Windows 10. I never have to reboot my Win 10 laptop and I did have to reboot my Win 7 laptop on a regular basis. I...

    Microsoft Tells Computer Makers How to Make PCs Cool Again

    I got it how about to gain users like me Microsoft removes Telemetry, gives me the ability to control when and what updates I install, and gets rid of the hybrid POS GUI? That would bring me right to Windows 10. I use Win 10 at work with a start menu replacement, clock/calendar replacement...

    FBI ‘Grappling’ With Hiring Policy About Smoking Weed

    I call bullshit. It all depends on the individual. I personally have smoked for more than 20 years and have 5 kids, a successful marriage and a successful career. No person I know that just smokes weed as a recreational purpose has any issues. I know many people who are useless to society...

    Fired Over A Facebook Post

    Oh, so if I understand some of you correctly then this bus driver should have been fired because the employer wrote it in the handbook. The problem I see here is that the employer is a government agency and because of that they are directly violation the Constitution. Either that or allow...

    Sony Still Not Answering DRM and Used Games Questions

    The main difference between Steam and XBONE. I can play my steam game on any PC I set up an account on. Mine, my kids, my wife's, my buddie's. XBONE will not allow that. Think before you type.

    Undercover Cops Selling Stolen iPhones

    Not if it actually is not stolen. Then it is an attempt to purchase a non-stolen phone. No matter what the cop or anyone else says. If it is a stolen phone then the cops have a duty to return it to the rightful owner. If it is not a stolen phone then you cannot be arrested for attempting to...

    Undercover Cops Selling Stolen iPhones

    This is illegal because if the phones are actually stolen property then they should be returned to the rightful owner. If they are not stolen property then you cannot be arrested for receiving stolen property. I don't understand what the cops are trying to do. A good Lawyer would have this...

    SimCity to Release More Fixes After 2.0 Update Problems

    I am sorry I do not understand this. Why would anyone not like SC4 and like SC5. SC4 is a true Sim City that actually works with many different regions and choices for players. SC5 is not only broken, and that is giving it too much credit, it's not even Sim City. It's a stripped down POS...

    SimCity Patch Introduces More Bugs

    Forget the bugs. Hell forget the crappy online all the time DRM. If it doesn't have terrain building, water pipes, large regions, fire and police that work properly, one way streets, connections to other regions that work properly and many more things it is not SimCity. It is a stripped down...

    Windows 8 Blamed For Biggest PC Shipment Plunge Ever

    Looks like a jumbled mess. It's absolutely awful. Really, where is the Recently Used Documents? How about if I hover over Word in the Old Start menu I also get a recently used documents for that application. Is that there in the new Start menu? Can I create folders and Categorize...

    Why Data Caps Suck

    Absolutely wrong. I recently dumped 3 smartphones and went back to a basic phone for text and calls. Left Verizon and went to pay as you go. Put a home phone in. Kids were not happy but the monthly cost for data plans is asinine. Also dropped ATT DSL the minute they came out with data caps...

    Gaping Flaw in Microsoft's 'Do Not Track' System

    Kenny the Clown Had Steve Jobs' Stolen iPad

    Jobs was a genius at marketing a product and getting people to pay a premium price for a standard piece of equipment. It still doesn't mean he can't be the target of jokes, even after dead. I think it was pretty funny Steve.
