I’d be interested to know what the actual speeds will be outside of these pilot cities, and internationally. I’ve seen 10Gbps plans being advertised in my country recently, but they hide the fact that the international speeds are around 2 Gbps. (Still pretty fast, but definitely not worth the cost!)

A better question, actually: Who’s the target audience for this? Unless you routinely transfer terabytes of data daily, I don’t see why you would need anything more than 1 or 2 Gbps - and if you do need to transfer that much data, wouldn’t it be more cost-effective to lease dark fibre instead?

This is a stupid question, but is this a port of the actual missions from C&C/Red Alert, or just inspired by them?

Flipboard also supports RSS, allowing you to see your feeds with any software you want!

Wow, are we getting Windows N again?

From your post history, it looks like you’re in Singapore. If so, then I don’t think that will be a concern - if anything, given how most government apps treat sideloading on the Android side, they’ll probably block you from using them if you use the feature.

I’ve looked around malware link scrapers (ex. URLhaus) before, and I recall seeing that a large portion of the malware links were hosted on Discord, especially trojans. Although it will break a lot of legitimate shared files, I respect them for fixing this security issue

If you also need test videos, Demolandia is another great resource. However, their site is very slow, so you might want to use a download manager.

It’s a shame the UK’s Competitive Markets Authority let this merger go through after all. I can’t wait for the future, when 90% of the most popular games are made by 3 companies

Oh, I understand now, I’m not from the US so I just assumed that it was majority-funded. I’m just not sure why this would be a big deal even if NPR was government funded - I mean, it’s still better than a broadcaster owned by the media oligopoly, so who really cares?

Yeah, they totally should, but this is Elon Musk we’re talking about, unfortunately :/

Is that so? I thought it was a more significant source. But isn’t it technically correct, though? I’m not American, but Wikipedia says it was established by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967.

Serious question: What’s wrong with NPR being labeled as “US-supported media”? Isn’t it funded by the US federal government?

I mean, you could just block OpenAI’s crawlers’ IP addresses, if you wanted to

Maybe it was updated after your comment, but the demo site has that notice prominently at the top for me

As a frequent Discogs user, this new fee change is so infuriating. I’m sure these changes aren’t as big for US or EU-based buyers, but the shipping fees I get in Singapore were very large even before this change, usually 2 or 3 times the cost of the item itself. Nowadays, there are some sellers who flat out refuse to sell items to me, specifically because of the fees. And this is just with CDs and cassettes, which have smaller shipping costs than a 12" record…

The problem is, I don’t really have any choice for getting used music. eBay has limited stock and even crazier shipping rates, especially if you want a specific edition of an album. I’ve heard talk of some sellers moving to Etsy, but if they have, they’re not showing up. And the few physical stores left here mostly carry stock in mainstream albums. So I mostly have to suck it up if I want a rare album, and pay the exorbitant costs :/

God I hope not - the prices for used records are insane. I can usually buy 2 or 3 mint CDs for the price of 1 “Very Good” (i.e full of pops and scratches) vinyl

That would be cool, if we still installed Windows from CDs and DVDs. But last time I installed Windows 10, it took 2-3 minutes to finish (excluding the OOBE prompts), so it’s not very helpful…

Wow, do you need to have your apps signed by Microsoft now, like macOS’s Gatekeeper makes you do?

They’ve been separate for more than a decade now
