When my elderly, and tech illiterate family ask how to switch from Windows; I’m sorry but I’m not telling them to use Linux because they’re going to harass me nonstop for tech support.
At best this will be the year of macOS, because there’s a store I can send them to for all their questions.
This why it pays to use a search engine that lets you blocklist sites
Ah another day, another Cloudflare cockup. It would be nice if the service that insists on MitM’ing a huge chunk of the internet could focus a bit more on stability.
Very cool and they should keep doing this, but no one’s CPE is going to be able to do anywhere near this speed unless they plan on giving everyone large enterprises routers for home use.
It will definitely depend on the ISP, but generally for repeated “AUP” violations they will suspend your service entirely.
Interestingly it’s often not technically the data usage that triggers this, its how much utilisation (generally peak utilisation) you cause and high data usage is a by product of that. Bandwidth from an ISP’s core network to their various POIs that customer connections come from is generally quite expensive, and residential broadband connections are fairly low margin. So lets say they’ve got 100Gbps to your POI that could realistically service many thousands of people, a single connection worth €/$10-15 a month occupying 10% of that is cause for concern.
If you do 800TB in a month on any residential service you’re getting fair use policy’ed before the first day is over, sadly.
Post takes days, weeks, even months. Food delivery is minutes, and point-to-point.
My original half joking comment was about mosquitos not having any concept of language. Somehow you’ve made that into an issue about people misgendering my cat, something which my cat does not care or even know about. If someone refers to my cat as the “wrong” pronouns, I don’t bother correcting them because, again, it’s a cat who has no interest in such things.
I’ve never told anyone “hey my cat prefers they/them”, because my cat much like the mosquitos doesn’t have any such concept.
The females use she/it pronouns.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but to the best of my knowledge I don't think mosquitos have the concept of language.
They either get paid by the click, or paid upfront if they're big enough. Me watching them recite the marketing material for Raid, Nord, Raycon, Better Help, or any other scam/landfill they've chosen to sell doesn't affect them financially.
At the risk of sounding like a shill, I like Kagi.
