  3. Apple's $400 Mac Pro wheels don't have locks to prevent rolling

    What do you expect for $400? You get what you pay for.

  4. Court: YouTube not bound by U.S. First Amendment

    I believe these companies have a choice between 1. allow free speech and be protected by Section 230, or 2. moderate/censor content and be considered a publisher (not protected by 230). Youtube chose to censor content, so the law sees them as a publisher (and not a public platform). Companies like Youtube who opt to moderate (and give up section 230) can be sued for content users post on their site. To me, this seems like Youtube has the "convenience" to choose either of those since they have so much money, and their perceived cost of choosing to moderate and censor content while defending lawsuits is more profitable than allowing all content and being protected from lawsuits.

    This is fairly obvious, no? "Free speech" has only ever applied to the government, that's the whole point.

    This is what I expect from the court to uphold. Private applications that are not government property.... you can't claim free speech. If it was a government controlled community, yes.

    haha! Well thought out there, Apple. Plus, that thing still looks hideous. With wheels it looks like a mini food delivery cart or something you see in a hospital.

  9. Life

    On the first day, God created the dog and said: 'Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.' The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?' So God agreed. On the second day, God created the monkey and said: 'Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span.' The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?' And God agreed. On the third day, God created the cow and said: 'You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.' The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?' And God agreed again. On the fourth day, God created man and said: 'Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years.' But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?' 'Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it.' So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. Life has now been explained to you.

  10. Court: YouTube not bound by U.S. First Amendment

    you need to know why they got sued... it has nothing to do with copyright. if they dont like your message be it scientific, fact or not... youtube will censor it. conservative outlets has always been on the receiving end. It's not just conservative outlets that are on the receiving end, there are plenty of LGBTQ groups furious for the censorship they've pushed. You guys need to stop playing the "woe, it's only me" card.

    YouTube has been censoring videos for years now, they've been taking down videos for others because of copyrights. YouTube hasn't been a public forum for a very long time now.

  12. Court: YouTube not bound by U.S. First Amendment

    I do understand that the constitution prohibits only the government from infringing on free speech rights granted to us by our Creator (not granted by the government). Section 230 does not grant free speech -- it protects companies from being sued when their user posts something on their social media platform: https://www.cnsnews.com/commen...berty-and-reject-censorship

  13. Court: YouTube not bound by U.S. First Amendment

    Wise and correct decision. One can say and self-distribute whatever they want. Private distribution sources can decided what and what not to distribute. It most regrettable that individual self-control hardly exists anymore. Just because one can do or say something does not make it right or correct. Hence the problems with the First Amendment (as written) that were never anticipated by the Founding Fathers.

  19. Threatening attempt to gain access issue

    I would also recommend you check your chrome extention list and make sure some dodgy ones didn't get installed. I see that happening ALL the time. Some extensions don't even try to hide the fact they are a peice of crap, calling themselves things like "PDF Promotion's". Other pieces of crap extensions are called things like "Search Encrypt" or "Map finder", "*Insert name* Finder". The average user usually gets those ###### extensions installed by trying to find an obituary or a manual on the internet. I'm not sure how they manage to get an extention installed but they do. One person I helped had 11 ###### extensions installed. As you can imagine they were getting redirected all over the place.

  21. Court: YouTube not bound by U.S. First Amendment

    I agree it was a wise decision, but the courts did not really rule on free speech. PragerU argued the Youtube needs to be considered a public forum under Section 230. The court ruled that Youtube can choose whether to be a self-censoring publisher or an open-forum platform protected by section 230 -- and Youtube chose to be a publisher (by moderating their content). Which they have every right to. They are a private company, not funded with public funds or a goverment entity. Just because they are large or popular, it doesn't mean that user can claim "free speech". The interesting part, is that most of the arguing is coming from only "alt" groups of both sides (mostly right wing/conspiracy theorist at the moment) who dislike that their crap is being blocked. With that said, nothing prevents these groups from using other forums, they simply hate the fact, that these other forums aren't as popular.

  25. Makes sense! Windows 10 is a form of COVID-19, thus it won’t meet revenue expectations because consumers are afraid to use it. I’ve known this for years now. By the way, and in these trying times, Windows 7/Linux, are COVID-19 free.

  30. Court: YouTube not bound by U.S. First Amendment

    Curious, does that mean YouTube can be sued and fined for users' content instead of the users directly, in regards to COPPA (setting videos to for kids/not for kids). Before, the FTC made it sound like users would directly be fined, but now it seems like YouTube is putting itself at the front now so users don't get sued?

  34. Enterprise sales are often conducted in person, including many on-site visits by subject matter experts. Without those specs-gathering visits worldwide, those sales/agreements cannot happen to everyone's preference. So the decrease in on-site visits necessarily means fewer sales deals that close, or upgrades/deployments of custom solutions are delayed. Net result: decrease in near-term revenue numbers.

  39. Threatening attempt to gain access issue

    When I was unemployed this is how I passed the time. I didn't actively seek out the scammers, they would randomly phone the house. "Hello sir, I'm phoning from Microsoft and we would like to inform you that your computer is sending viruses." "Goodness, really? That sounds terrible. What can I do?" I was running Linux and I (was) an unemployed technician. I had them going for ages. It became a personal challenge to see how much of their time I could waste.

Before, the FTC made it sound like users would directly be fined, but now it seems like YouTube is putting itself at the front now so users don't get sued? Pretty sure that YouTube would also have a reasonable amount of time to act on inappropriate content being hosted on its platform, it doesn't seem unreasonable to hold YouTube to account if it fails in this. You do not want to go down this route. The end result would is that either forums like Neowin would have to allow spam in every single forum, or risk getting sued for any user content uploaded. Even for little things, like copyrighted images in the forums, memes, user images, etc...

What makes Prager U a conspiracy theory channel? when Youtube sees videos like anti abortion messages... it triggers them and they block it. Thats not conspiracy theory... its Youtube being a devilish company.

    Source? I'm really sick and tired of this "argument." lol, you're kidding right? It's obvious. What other source do you need aside from common sense? All the garbage that's been twisted the last century even.. from a 2 and a half century old document. There's no way the founding fathers could envision a future of today, let alone think these would be relevant ~240 years from when they were created. Thank goodness future amendments could be added, otherwise all sorts of rights we have wouldn't have existed. If they could of anticipated them, we'd have no need for amendments.

    You know what i'm usually not someone to jump on an apple hate bandwagon (as I feel often people miss the value proposition of some of their products or just like to hate on Apple for internet points) but wow this is just embarassing for them. I mean this must be the most egregious money grab for an under designed product they've released in a long time. I mean the $1000 monitor stand was bad but somehow they've managed to screw up wheels. Wheels! Apple are becoming really out of touch under Cook.

    This is the first time I've ever seen the Mac Pro. Apple stated once that it didn't make sense to combine a Toaster and Refrigerator. But apparently it's okay to combine a Toaster, a Cheese-Grater and a Skateboard with swiveling wheels and putting PC components in it.

  50. Computer does not boot

    Problem got solved (not sure how I can close this topic) The fan turning off wasn't really a problem after all. new mobo had trouble finding my screen. Moving my gpu to the pciex16 instead of the 4 solved this issue. My mobo read that one standard and couldn't find the other, at least not easily. Fair warning though for the B450 tomahawk, I would not recommend using 3th gen amd processors with them. If you have to upgrade both mobo and cpu definitely go for a X570 at least. All my problems started with that mobo, it might work fine in the beginning but problems with the cpu are likely enough to occur. thanks for the help people.
