Data cap never made sense because ISPs pay for pipe size, not total of data. Someone using 20mbps 24/7 will use a lot more data but cause a lot less congestion than someone using 300mbps for 1hr at peak hour every day.

If their infra is undersized, they should at least not count data between midnight and 8am toward the data cap since the pipes are mostly sitting idles

It’s simple: if you have to pay “copyright holders” for anything you use your AI training on, there can be no AI training. They need to ingest all the data they can to become better and it would cost dozen of billions if you had to pay every single piece of content. So we have to pick between a future in which “copyright holders” fight to get their $ or a future where we can push AI to enter a new era

Is McLaren going to fight at the top now or it’s a fluke?

I use Ubuntu for everything (including at work, tens of thousands machines) and it’s great

You can order a Canadian server with fairly low latency. I have one but I also have a couple of machines at home. I don’t like buying used and I care about wattage so I usually get beelinks mini PC from Amazon. They often have deals where you can have good specs for <$150, including 128gb SSDs, 8 or 16gb of ram and a 4 cores 15w CPU

I had so much time yet so few things to watch and play growing up, I think I’ve become a data hoarder as a “response” to this. Now I love being able to provide friends & family all the content they could ever want.

I like that it is linked directly from the Private Community message on Reddit. I wish more subreddit picked a new official place and linked it, that way people would actually try something else instead of waiting the end of the blackout.

If it was money he was after, he’d keep milking PSG, no need to go to Saudi Arabia. I think he wants a champion’s league and realizes that it’s not happening at PSG in the next 2-3 years

If that was the case, Qatar Sport Investment would be the one doing the bidding. Sheikh Jassim (the potential buyer of manU) does not work for the emir (owner of QSI and PSG) and there’s even some bad blood between them

Server is hosted in Europe. They don’t have to answer to DMCA request but I believe there is a similar framework under EU laws. I think it would avoid a lot of headaches for the owner of the instance to avoid direct link to pirated content.

I also believe it’s more interesting to have a community discuss piracy as a topic rather than just becoming a repository of pirated content. There’s plenty of website who do that better and they can be linked in the sidebar
