  1. Xerox gives up on HP acquisition due to COVID-19 concerns

    BS... Xerox had zero chance of doing it anyways, this is just an excuse for a failure of a hostile take over

  4. PowerToys v0.16 adds image resizer, window walker, and preview pane tools

    Should I just chuckle or let you know that the owner of that git repo you posted is an MS employee and moved it over?

  6. T-Mobile is already deploying Sprint's 2.5GHz 5G in Philadelphia

    I doubt that GSM and CDMA network can work together.... never see anything like it if this can happen. LTE is a GSM technology, Verizon and Sprint have supported GSM since LTE and have been slowly depreciating the CDMA side. As far as I'm aware it's just a matter of adjusting the frequencies the towers put out and the whitelist or whatever it would be called for the SIMs to use them as more than just roaming towers.

  9. T-Mobile has completed its acquisition of Sprint

    Yeah, I feel the same way. John Legere really did a lot to put T-Mobile where it is today and shake up the industry.

  11. Xerox gives up on HP acquisition due to COVID-19 concerns

    This takeover never made any sense, Xerox was going to come out of it with huge debt all so a few of it's board members could get rich off of HP stock and would also have to chop up HP and sell it to make some money back.

  25. SpaceX unveils a Users Guide for its Starship rocket

    That only would make sense if the top would be able to abort on launch issues, like with the Falcon/Crew capsule setup. That's not in the Starship design, so the location of the astronauts is academic in this case. Well.. at least depending on load balancing I guess. From the PDF: "The crew configuration of Starship includes private cabins, large common areas, centralized storage, solar storm shelters and a viewing gallery" So this isn't your regular Saturn type setup to get the crew 'up there'....

  26. Huawei's CEO wants Google apps on the company's own app store

    Google will rush to Huawei's AppGallery the same way they rushed to Microsoft and Amazon Stores. Also, it's a bit hypocritical because Google services are banned in China - the largest market for AppGallery.

  28. I've had customer's "Backup" their data to an external hard drive then because it's been put "On the backup drive", delete the copies on their PC. At which point I scold them and tell them why that is a horrible practice. I talked to one guy about his QuickBooks. He hadn't backed up to a usb flash drive in about 6 months. Did I ask him why? He said "Because I think it's backing it up online for me? i said, "You think?" "YOU THINK!!!?!?!?!?!?!" i said you should "KNOW!!!!" it's getting backed up. The Mac he had wasn't recognizing his flash drive at that moment to do a backup and the mac was moving really slow. It was so bad he had to hold the power button down just to turn it off. Then He couldn't turn it back on. He took it into someone because his screen was also broken (and I don't do mac screen replacements) , he had been using an external screen. So we couldn't see anything. Turns out, his internal flash based storage went bad. His QuickBooks was in fact NOT getting backed up online. He then had to send the computer into a company for data recovery. Not sure how that ever turned out. Yeah, it's a wonder people don't even get that very basic stuff you mentioned with backing up to a external hard drive and then deleting their main copy on their PC's hard drive which only leaves them with one copy of the data which, as you already know, raises there risk of data loss quite a bit as all it's going to take is something minor to happen and there data is shot. because the only thing they did was transfer data from one hard drive to another. it's almost like they think just because the external hard drive is only turned on occasionally it probably won't fail on them (it's like they have this false sense of security because it's external and only used briefly once in a while). but they broke the cardinal rule of two copies in total on two difference devices at the bare minimum standard as this, as you already know, does not take much effort and lowers the chance of permanent data loss quite a bit. it's not fool proof but it's pretty much the sweet spot of keeping ones effort minimal and giving one a reasonable level of protection against data loss. I figure once someone opts for professional data recovery, they are probably screwed at that point. even if they get their data back, it's probably going to cost a arm and a leg which that $ could have been used to buy another hard drive which you could have used to backup the data in the first place. then you factor in ones time lost having to send the drive in to the data recovery service etc. it's just a chore. while flash drives are okay for temporary storage, I would not trust them for long term data backup personally as they seem too volatile (as in working great one minute but could completely die out-of-the-blue) as I want something more reliable like HDD or DVD as your probably more likely to get some warning before those are totally shot etc.

  29. Of which 63,843 took the survey. 7% reported symptoms. So... Yes, and so what? 63,843 is the sample. That's how surveys work. You study a sample because it's million times cheaper and faster than to survey the whole population. My point was, nowhere did it sample against the population of Tokyo, but instead Line users. 7% of users, not 7% of Tokyo. So what is your point? It’s almost like you didn’t read the article and made an assumption on the title. Except it does state users in Tokyo... "surveyed the chat app's users in Tokyo and surrounding areas in collaboration with Japan's health ministry"... and hence because of the large sample size, they extrapolated the data. Of course they were obviously Line users... but when it comes to surveys they don't state things like, survey of phone users whom are neither deaf nor mute... or a survey of people that can read and write and comprehend the questions asked. The interesting point is they were using Line to gather the sample for their survey... move on... My whole point was that they didn’t say 7% of Tokyo but instead 7% of their users in Tokyo. As I said, that's how samples work... they extrapolate the data as being representative of the wider community... like political polls... they don't state it's just those represented as being polled, it's meant to be a cross-section of the community. And often polls are a much much smaller sample size than this. So I would say it is quite representative of the wider community. Woosh. You guys need to read what the article says. They surveyed their user base in Tokyo, not Tokyo. It was a survey about THEIR users, not the entire capital.

  31. Linux Mint 20 Ulyana ISOs will only be available in 64-bit

    This is news to whom? When was the last time a non-x64 Windows PC was built by either Intel or AMD? The ONLY use for x32 is older hardware - and that can be updated via the existing schema for the old ISOs; those that own them KNOW this. Why do you think that Debian ITSELF is kicking x32 to the curb? They aren't stupid.

  32. Google officially stops selling the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL

    Please, spacelordmaster - which Samsung phone are you bragging on? I came from the S7 to my 3a - and lost nothing feature wise - and gained faster wired charging, faster performance in most applications and games; it even imported my voice from Bixby. (It uses it better than Bixby did, too.) Same with the fingerprint lock. I don't understand this comment. Sorry. I'm just still using the Pixel 3 I bought back when it was new, and still being sold. margrave - I was asking about his dissing the Pixel 3a and 3aXL. I have the 3a myself (and have had it since July of 2019). It has been a VERY solid phone, and was also a solid upgrade from the S7 it replaced. I lost exactly nothing from the S7 that I used, but gained quite a bit. I gained faster wired charging, faster application performance, faster gaming performance, and even faster voice performance over Bixby.

  37. I hope Apple integrates Dark Sky's broad set of features into the native Weather apps across the iOS ecosystems. Dark Sky is a badly-written app, though, as I never liked its performance... if it's rewritten more 'natively' then i'm sure it'll be an awesome upgrade for Apple's standard weather app... or a nice "premium" feature to goose up Apple's subscription revenues.

  41. Microsoft resumes Edge updates with Edge 81 coming next week

    I think it's easier to build your own with all the features you want, than to use someone else's and figure out how to add your stuff to it... It's already a better browser than Chrome imho, so have a bit of hope.. or patience.. Or both

    If that's what you need the software for, I'd just look at the online version of Office found at office.com. It's pretty much the same and has all the basic features.

  44. Today is World Backup Day: Don't put it off, backup your data today

    Only 30% of people? LOL ... It's gotta be much more in my personal experience with the average person. 1 in 10? It seems a bunch much. I have more than 10 and non of mine get a virus every month. I have all my really important files backed up on 3 disconnected USB Flash Drives and 3 WD Red Hard drives. One of the 3 flash drives is in a safety deposit box and 1 of the WD red drives is in a safety deposit box. They get rotated frequently. 1 of the hard drives is inside a file server and gets backed up to nightly. It also does an online backup nightly as well. Quickbooks Gets backed up nightly to a usb flash drive and to a file server which then gets backed up that same night to another hard drive. It also does an encrypted backup online. THen once a week it gets backed up to the 2 disconnected usb flash drives. Then once a month it gets backed up to one of the 2 WD red drives.

  45. Microsoft Edge is getting vertical tabs, Password Monitor, and more

    Tabs aside is 'collections' You can save all your open tabs in a window to a new or existing collection. Tab reviews is weird cause it is in Chrome for ages. Don't know why it is not in Edge. I want that custom background for the new tab page they have been talking about 'coming september 2019' Probably because it's NOT in Chromium by default. OR if it IS in chromium by default, Microsoft may have removed it initially to build in other Edge features. Chrome's Tab preview is a trash implementation. Not stable, uses alternative rendering crap, show and doesn't offer real-time functionality, making it significantly less useful. Microsoft wants a seamless rendering implementation like EdgeHTML; however, this is hard to tap into without a consistent OS accessible composer, which is a problem outside Windows and osx.
