Comment It Is To Laugh (Score 1) 311

Given the stunts most of the big tech companies have pulled, "respect" is not the word I'd use. Amazon is becoming Cyberdyne, Microsoft is doubling down on being Big Brother, Facebook sells ad space to the Russians and then has the nerve to act like they didn't know. Can we just nuke them ALL from orbit?

Comment No resopnsibility? (Score 0) 49

The choices *should* be either A) uncensored free speech, and each individual is responsible for their messages *OR* B) a "safe" speech area where no one hears anything objectionable or is responsible for anything. Trying to have it both ways should get ,at the very least, your business license yanked. And be set on fire. For the good of the gene pool.

Comment Employee "Upgrade" (Score 4, Insightful) 96

Why convert to robots, when you can convert your human workers to computer control!? Hey! Why not have your "employees" chained to their posts!? And have them work 16 hour shifts, for pennies an hour!! Actions like these are what caused unions and higher overwatch of employers by governments. Too bad the corporations own both nowadays.

Comment Yeah, Right. (Score 1) 282

The check's in the mail, I'll respect you in the morning, it's not you it's me, and (my favorite) "we believe in diversity." Oh, and before I forget..."Don't Be Evil." People lie. If a corporation can make a buck, it will be done. "There are things no whore will do, regardless of the money. Politicians and CEOs don't have that problem."

Submission + - Trump team considers nationalizing 5G network (axios.com)

JoeyRox writes: "Trump national security officials are considering an unprecedented federal takeover of a portion of the nation’s mobile network to guard against China, according to sensitive documents obtained by Axios." This is based on a PowerPoint presentation Axios has in their possession. Two options are described — a national 5G network funded and built by the Federal government, or a mix of 5G networks build by existing wireless providers. A source suggests the first option is preferred and essential to protect against competition from China and "bad actors". The presentation suggests that a government-built network would then be leased out to carriers like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile.

Submission + - Flawed Malwarebytes updates causes network connectivity problems (malwarebytes.com)

marquis111 writes: Malwarebytes pushed out a database update yesterday that caused its web link blocking engine to randomly flag all traffic as malicious, thus causing the computers running it to lose connection to the network, which also precludes those affected computers from receiving an updated database file that fixes the issue.
