You made this statement which is wrong: > ~47 million Americans aren’t native English speakers having immigrated from a non English speaking country. Your link says 46M total which includes native speakers. So it does not state how many

you wouldnt have auto playing videos with ublock origin. 95% might be nice but theres a lot missing. The static blocklists can be defeated easily by having ads served by the same domain. In that case you are stuck due to apple's decisi

I'm not sure about ufw/firewalld. Maybe docs aren't clear there either I configured iptables and had no trouble blocking WAN access to docker... In addition to that there's the default host in daemon.json plus specifying

sucks to not have ublock origin.

Sure, ISP can oversubscribe as much as they want. As long as they make a fair guess and I get my bandwidth whenever I want, all is good. That seems to be the case right now. Dedicated internet access is a different thing, I agree, it also p

ISPs are free to oversubscribe as much as they want. As long as they also provide people the bandwidth sold to them when they want it. Otherwise compensation should be in order if they throttle.

by adriancr 2y ago
throttling should be an exception, not the norm. If ISPs sell you a bandwidth per month they should deliver it. You're the one that's short changed if you accept the throttling.

The same fiber I have for 10gbps can be used for 400gbps... just by changing sfp modules. Same logic for interstate. You lay fiber once and scale equipment as needed. If you already have the fiber there then just use better modules.

They are comparable for expectations. You pay for a certain level of service, you expect it delivered.

I have a 10gbps fiber LAN. It was cheap to set up and have it running. I do not buy your argument. People buy a certain level of service, they should be able to enjoy it as in the rest of the world.

Oversubscription is an ISP trick to make more money. People do pay for a certain bandwidth. They should be able to get it. Same thing with overbooking on airplanes. You paid for a seat you should be able to use it. Your argument wouldn&#x27

Android does not exist in laptop format currently and I see no use case for that. On the other hand I see lots of people using linux on laptops just fine. They are probably counted as windows because it comes preinstalled and there's n

Sure, but it being ubiquitous should give developers a hint where future lies. Consumers will eventually follow. (see android).
