But bandwidth is only limited in points in time, not usage over a month. Makes sense to limit in times of congestion, but not outside that. That is the OP’s point.

The data caps also discourage 4k adoption.

The steam engine won’t replace John Henry!!!

I remember being laughed at when I admitted I still buy CDs, DVDs, or BluRays a few years ago.

…yet!

Going that way is a great way to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Messing with their equipment is going not going to end well.

Switch to Linux. I did it a few months ago and I have zero complaints, even in gaming.

Workplaces are all about the apps. If those apps you need only run in Windows, that’s what you run. Believe me, businesses would LOVE to cut license costs.

I was getting a couple of pop up ads in my Win10 install, and I switched a couple of months ago. The more I looked at gaming, the more I realized it could be done.

Ad block is NOT piracy. And use Ublock Origin.

Based on my experience working in a call center, I wouldn’t call it unnecessary. People are fucked up.

Whole point of the Hyperloop was to stop California from building out high speed rail. And it worked. Musky thought it would cut into his EV sales.

Steve did it with Newegg. Tech Jesus has balls when gamers/enthusiasts are getting screwed.

E:D has the basics of a good game, but never builds upon them. FDev is deathly afraid of player agency. They want you to play like it’s on rails in a single player game, but have it an “MMO” for the PVP.

Ironically, that is why I wanted Stadia to succeed. It would have forced many game companies to consider Linux.

But Google screwed the pooch.

Use Firefox. The crypto bros running Brave have been caught multiple times gathering and selling user data. You use Chrome as the base when you want to hoover data.

Yes, but the bulk of the dev team is working on The Witcher 4.

Way back in the day, my best friend had a family friend that owned a computer software store. He rented games and gave us copies of the latest and greatest copy programs with a wink-wink and a nudge-nudge.

Remember, no business is required to tell the truth. Had a pipeline go through my backyard and you would not believe the lies that company told. Glad I lawyered up instead of believing the lies.
