A password manager doesn't need frequent updates. Instead, the priorities should be reliability, UX responsiveness, and light resource usage.

Scary set of videos. Is Tesla using Marylanders to train FSD?

Virtually all of these changes reduce contrast and differentiation between controls while simultaneously decreasing information density. All bad news for people who work on their computers for a living.
Re:Thunderbolt 3 becomes USB4, royalty-free
on Monday March 04, 2019 @03:49PM (#19305283)
The funny thing is that "USB4" doesn't have a space in the name while "USB 3.2", which they just rebranded everything else as last week, has a space. It has to be some kind of magnificent troll.

Apologies, I read the site every day but post so rarely that I forgot that's the consensus way to block quote. Thanks!

It's not just you — it's virtually everyone who will be purchasing a "USB 3.2" cable in the future!

USB-IF has to be doing this to deliberately confuse end users, right? I get that it's a specification number, not a product name, but they have to know that this will only cause problems for customers trying to find the appropriate cable.
Incredibly, their language usage specifications doc https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/usb_3_2_language_pro... begins with this:
> USB-IF emphasizes the importance and value of consistent messaging on USB product packaging, marketing materials, and advertising. Inconsistent use of terminology creates confusion in the marketplace, can be misleading to consumers and potentially diminishes USB-IF’s trademark rights.
I simply don't understand USB-IF's motivation to make this so confusing for everyone. Their board consists of Apple, HP, Intel, Microsoft, TI, Renesas, and STMicroelectronics, so it isn't like it's controlled by low end trashy cable manufacturers trying to make a quick buck from confused customers.
Re:The IRS Really Needs Some New Computers

The IRS has a $11,526,389,000 budget. Their Information Services division has a $2,237,659,000 budget, and 6,089 employees.
So the issue isn't a lack of funding or personnel, it's bureaucratic incompetence.

This would be great... if taking (and faking) screenshots wasn't possible.
Re:Giving you more characters

The character limit is a core aspect of what makes consuming content on Twitter so engaging vs. other platforms.
Will this change improve engagement number or ad revenue? I sincerely doubt it.
An actual useful change would be versioning functionality so that users can edit tweets to correct typos or factual errors while not erasing the record.
Re:Google plans monthly security updates for Nexus phones
on Thursday August 06, 2015 @11:08AM (#10016956)
Google claims that a security patch came out yesterday, yet my Nexus 6 still has no OTA update available.
What, do they not have the bandwidth to send it out at once?

Is there a privacy policy or ToS? I don't see one on the site.
