Big bus.
We know they’re paying you off with day savers, don’t deny it!

I still remember when they cut their bitrates and lowered video quality.
They denied it entirely, people proved that CR was full of shit.
So CR responded by…Attacking the people who proved the streams were lower bitrate than before.

I can only speak from a UK perspective, but most home ADSL/VDSL/Fibre providers don’t have limits, other than “if your usage is tanking the network, we’ll ask you to knock it off” type clauses.

Most providers are also signed up to an agreement that if your speed drops 50% below the agreed speed on the package on average, they’ll either give you refunds, or let you out of the contract.

The only ones that throttle are the bargain basement operators aimed at people who don’t care, and one otherwise very competent provider that for some unexplainable reason only gives 1TB by default, charging an extra £10 for 10TB.

And I guess there is also a pricing step up to guaranteed bandwidth. For business use, they tend to be things like 1gbits headline, 500mbit guaranteed burst, 100mbit guaranteed sustained.

From my experience, they’re “Hanging around outside the chip shop” gulls.

I’m sure he worked alone, and any charges by the police are his alone.
Anybody else on the farm was sound asleep at the time.

Pissed off farmers are often ludicrously strong, and well, pissed off.

Ever since seeing the SoA level in Sonic Racing Transformed, I’ve been curious what the game that inspired it was like.

Most mid-range and above OLEDs do.

“Wololo”

If it cuts down on the absolute cunts who tool around town on loud quads, I’m all for it.
Just make sure they’re taxed and insured.

Don’t worry, the Home Office is already on to him

I had someone arrive at a BBQ, saw me frying some onions, and ask “Are you going to caramelise those onions?”

Yes mate. The onions I’m frying for a few minutes while the burgers cook, gonna be nice and caramelised in seconds, just you watch.

I think for a lot of people, DVDs hit the spot in the same way CDs did: Quality that was good enough to never think about again.

Glossing over how CDs are at the limit of human hearing, and DVD isn’t close to the limit of vision, imagine the average person with a £300 TV across the room, using TV speakers, and maybe not wearing their glasses.
For them there isn’t that much difference getting a BD/UHD, other than occasionally noticing the 25/24hz speed up.

The amount of people who would be off with long covid if not for work from home is understated, in my opinion.

It’s a shame the actions to get a grip aren’t “force costed bids to be remotely based in reality” or “accept it’s going to be expensive, and turn the money fire hose at it”.
