That’s over half a 100mbit line 24/7.

I have my upload capped at 6MiB/s since that’s ~half my 100mbit upload. (I can’t get symmetric gigabit internet here, at least not until fibre-to-the-door lines are run in the next couple of years.)

Impressive numbers for home internet.

Sure, but long-term climate risks definitely factored into my family’s most recent move to a new city.

Previously, we lived somewhere it was too cold to go out in winter (–50°C during a polar vortex) and too smoky to go out in the summer, from the constant bushfires and forest fires. And also had massive hail storm risks, drought/water insecurity, and if you lived closer to the river, flooding.

Now, we live somewhere where we only really face mild water insecurity from aquifer depletion. This close to the Pacific, we rarely get significant fire smoke, even. The Big One earthquake would suck if it happens in our lifetime, but that’s mostly unrelated to anthropogenic climate change (the tsunami would be higher from water levels rising.)

So, sure, yeah. We’re all affected by climate change. But the effects are definitely not equally dispersed.

An excellent summary that should sound reasonable to anyone who’s looking at the situation rationally. As an outsider, I can’t really understand why it’s so close.

That said, in BC, Canada, our election in 18 days is too close to call, and the BC Cons are basing policy on American QAnon conspiracy theories (that teachers are part of a secret cabal brainwashing children). And our federal Cons are polling to coast to an easy majority government next year… with even more unhinged views. So it’s not like we’re doing much better up here.

I don’t understand how these elections can be this close. How can ~47% of the population support anti-trans, misogynist, racist bullies? It makes me want to weep.

It’s satire. The author is pointing out how morally reprehensible it is, using irony.

The text is only fucked the the way that The Onion sticks are fucked: this is only labeled satire because of the tone of the article. The content is as true as “real” news.

The actual “fucked” content is that the author was correct, and that the wealthy benefit from hunger and the threat of starvation to maintain access to abundant cheap labour.

Cheaters can load code before the kernel, so it supercedes kernel-level detection. There’s really no stopping client-side cheating, just ways to make it harder.

Wireless game streaming is another reason to upgrade WiFi. I couldn’t stream anything from my wired desktop to my Steam Deck on WiFi from the ISP-supplied router. I just finished upgrading to a WiFi mesh network partly because of that… but I haven’t tested game streaming yet.

I expect it should do great, though. My Fire Stick used to occasionally buffer even with ~1.5GB/hr content, but I just tried a 1080p remux at 15GB/hr and it worked great.

I got it. Not clear if it’s a scam or legit, though.

What are the tables on the left?

They also sold 5 million copies in 3 days, and who knows how many copies since then. They can afford to pay good IP lawyers for a long time, if needed.
