I use windows boxes all the time every day and have since windows 3.1 and I’ve never used cortana.

I don’t know of anyone who has. Ever.

I saw somewhere someone explaining that the massive cash flow from the “old” way of paying for content, namely high cable TV costs people used to have to pay for their 3 channels they actually watched - in addition to all the commercials the pay-tv people also had to watch, was a steady and reliable stream of cash that made its way to the content producers.

But since the big bundle pay-tv model is dead there is a huge drop in cash flow to content producers and this is making a massive change in normal operations inevitable.

That may be what’s happening now.

I don’t think the studios have any money.

If reddit doesn’t have to then why would an ISP?

This is precedent setting.

To me this shows just how rare malware is on pirated software… Someone did it and it causes quite an uproar.

A very informative video on Linus tech tips where they ran a cable tester on lots of different cables. Super interesting.

I always tell people to get the full solid copper core cat6, no stranded, no copper clad.

At least for the important projects.

A digital cable that meets spec can’t be made better by gold plating or other bling. But a sub spec cable or a cable with some aspect degraded by damage or wear or contamination will introduce errors that will force the system to use whatever error correction is built in(such as with tcpip) that will hinder data speed. So, you can have a digital cable that works slower than spec but still “works”. Especially when you are running any sort of significant distance or there is noise such as fromn ac power.

My point is that even with digital connections a better cable can make a difference. Just on the low end not the high end.

Yeah chrome is sorta bad, but I had a Firefox that was running for a few weeks or so that was using over 30 gigs of ram. No exaggeration.

Sorta like how breaking bad could have been 1 episode if it was set in Canada

I wonder if their CIA money has dried up, maybe funds are tight and they’re forcing the algorithm for all it’s worth. Sorta like how spez is burning reddit to the ground trying to maximize the metrics for the ipo or whatever.

Road trip! Let’s go check it out!
