Right
not immune to congestion at all. Unlike ATT fiber, where we had 300Mbps (symmetric I think)...but if you log in to the modem it reported a gigabit link. Starting a download, you could often get more than 300Mbps, but it would slowly fall in line with bandwidth policies.
With Sonic, my gigabit connection would get north of 900Mbps (iperf3), both ways, to a nearby university computer. I miss it.
Not every ISP! Where I live there's an awesome ISP, Sonic, which is pro-NN, and last I heard only offers "best effort" service
which means there's no throttling your link, no paid tiers; if the fiber and hardware can support 10Gbps symmetric, then that's what you get.
Sadly, they're not the norm. And sadly, not offered at my address.
Probably because we don't dead reckon off the position of the gas pedal, but rather, our mental shortcut is, "clutch is furthest left pedal."
As others have said, brake on automatic tends to be a wide pedal. Pedals on a smaller car or sports car tend to be small and very close together for heel and toe and whatnot.
It's not the paying taxes that's annoying, it's what we get in return that hurts.
Why should I have to pay bus or subway fare? Why is the only reason I have fantastic healthcare because I am gainfully employed?
Then there's the pitcher plant that isn't really carnivorous, but relies on excrement...it's not so much a pitcher as a toilet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepenthes_lowii
In California, the major utility provider was found guilty in relation to wildfires, and fined.
Guess what happened to electricity rates...
Does gnome-screenshot work without DISPLAY being set?
I still use my i5-4670k machine. It has a SATA SSD, only 8GB RAM, but it is a completely zippy machine. Ancient (by today's standards) 750Ti, but I only rarely use it for old games (Xonotic and Portal2) and it doesn't break a sweat.
Debian, i3wm, so it ends up being lightweight but that's my preferred setup regardless of specs.
In before the .tar.gz/.tar.bz2 gang...
Is there a commonly accepted reason why Microsoft makes these big releases so different?
AFAIK macOS has relatively minor changes, in terms of UI/UX, from release to release (look at screenshots of the original OS X vs. the current macOS version). And Linux is entirely dependent on distro, but for me it's just "has i3wm changed drastically? No? Great!"
My guess is that Windows just does it because they need folks to upgrade, and that's the only tool they have to force people's hands...
Sure, but Chevy was essentially forced by public opinion to continue making the Bolt EV, which is an affordable and well-liked little car.
When I'm feeling cool and downloading a
*.tar*file, I'llwgetto stdout, and tar from stdin. Archive gets extracted on the fly.I have (successfully!) written an
.isoto CD this way, too (pipe wget to cdrecord). Fun stuff.
