TwoNineA··on Facebook Referred to Kids as Young as Five as “Whales” for Its Monetized Games
No kid would ever go through mom's wallet without asking right?
TwoNineA··on Facebook Referred to Kids as Young as Five as “Whales” for Its Monetized Games
Exploiting children for money is mass hysteria? Using very shady root certs to bypass Apple store rules is mass hysteria? Cambridge Analytica is mass hysteria?

Green pieces of paper with dead presidents on them.
TwoNineA··on Apple blocks Facebook from running its internal iOS apps
Did you bother reading Nielsen's contract?

Facebook's spyware was pushed to teenagers as young as 13. But yeah, same thing.

TwoNineA··on AMD is edging closer to breaking Nvidia's graphic dominance
Not overkill in 4K gaming or high refresh rate gaming.
TwoNineA··on AMD Ryzen 3rd Gen 'Matisse' Coming Mid 2019: Eight Core Zen 2 with PCIe 4.0

Maybe a second Zen2 die?

TwoNineA··on Nvidia Announces GeForce RTX 2060
I refuse to buy Nvidia cards until they stop blocking drivers in VMs with passed through video cards. Yes I know, you can bypass the dreaded code 43, it's more on principle.
TwoNineA··on Anthony Levandowski: Pronto AI
"Over the past 18 months, as I’ve been painted into a villainous caricature"

You are right. The transfer of Google confidential files to Uber was a mere accident, they somehow ended up on a USB stick that you lost at Uber and someone at Uber found it and re-used it.

Edit:

I saw this gem: "We are not building technology that tells vehicles how to drive. Instead, our team of engineers is building tech that can learn how to drive the way people do."

For the love of $DEITY, don't build tech that learns how people drive. A lot of people drive like selfish jerks.

TwoNineA··on Samsung Kills Headphone Jack in Latest Smartphone After Years of Mocking Apple
They also mocked the notch of the Pixel 3 XL and they are implementing an even worse solution. Oh and they are trying to pass on a DSLR captured photo as their smartphone’s photo. They are also hooking up with a counterfeit brand Supreme Italia. Oh and they post twitter posts using iPhones.
TwoNineA··on Latest Windows Insider build makes a major upgrade to Notepad
Definitely better than Candy Crush.
TwoNineA··on Facebook accused of striking 'secret deals over user data'
You made the claim, not me. You claimed that a large amount of articles are substanceless and you produced no proof.
TwoNineA··on Facebook accused of striking 'secret deals over user data'
> large amount of anti-FB fervor that is substanceless

[citation needed]

Cambridge Analytica? Soros? This clusterfuck? What was substanceless?

TwoNineA··on Source: Google Allo will be officially shut down soon
Throwing shit at wall until something sticks?

Example: Google Talk, Messages, Hangouts, Allo

TwoNineA··on Apple iPhone Supplier Foxconn Planning Deep Cost Cuts
As someone who switched from a Pixel XL to XR, I have to partially disagree. I don't have the telephoto camera nor the 4GB RAM (3GB on XR) of the XS line and the screen is not OLED. Having seen the screen quality first hand in store, I cancelled by Pixel 3 XL pre-order and got a XR, my first iPhone since 3GS. For me, the differences between XR and XS was not worth the extra 250$.

To put the price into perspective, adjusted to inflation, the 3GS was 50$ cheaper, the 4S was 35$ cheaper.

No need to repeat what you posted below. We get it.
TwoNineA··on Google details just how good dark mode is for your battery
Doubt that has to do with preserving battery but more with being much easier on the eyes, especially at night.

TwoNineA··on Execution of Indonesian maid who killed employer while being raped
If there isn't an embargo or war over the brutal assasination of a journalist, you think there is going to be over a maid?

TwoNineA··on Apple finally announces an overhauled Mac mini
They are probably laptop CPUs, 45 watt version, different socket.
TwoNineA··on Apple finally announces an overhauled Mac mini
I think you are comparing SATA to NVME SSDs, which is unfair. Not saying Apple isn't pricing them way too high.
TwoNineA··on Microsoft’s problem isn’t how often it updates Windows, it’s how it develops it
Which policy? Does it work on non Enterprise versions?
TwoNineA··on Microsoft’s problem isn’t how often it updates Windows, it’s how it develops it
That will be gone in the 1809 version.
TwoNineA··on Hackintosh-KVM Guide: High Sierra+ Using QEMU's I440fx Chipset
Unless a random software update breaks it. A Hackintosh's Achille's heel is not hardware breaking down but software updates from Apple hosing it.
TwoNineA··on Hackintosh-KVM Guide: High Sierra+ Using QEMU's I440fx Chipset
My workstation is a Ryzen 1700x running Ubuntu. It also runs two Windows gaming machines for me and my kids. GPU passthrough is pretty much painless, and since the NPT bug fix, they are very snappy.
