They aren’t talking about system administrators. They are talking about 3rd party software presenting a privilege escalation prompt (administrator access) and changing your default browser without you knowing about it

The lower end Garmins are only like $20-40 more than a Fitbit (and frankly they are so much better it justifies the price)
Fitbits also only last 6-12 months - so depending on how unlucky you are with your warranty timing the Garmin likely works out to be cheaper
That’s still not that much data
Gaming is 10-20% of the ISPs total network load, and the MW3 launch constituted like a 110% increase over base network load, so yes it’s a lot of data.
Advertisements and crawlers constantly use up far more bandwidth.
Crawlers rely on private connections between datacenters, very little of that traffic touches residential ISPs
Fight the real problems instead of blaming the users.
Literally no one is blaming users - There are plenty enough reasons to hate most ISPs, we don’t have to make up facts to find new ways to be mad.
Literally why CDNs and bitorrent tech exist
Neither of these reduces the amount of bandwidth an end user requires to download a 120gb file. If anything torrenting makes it more problematic because the upload is spread amongst a dozen low density residential users rather than a single high throughput datacenter
This is just the ISPs posturing to raise rates.
Ya absolutely. Doesn’t change the fact that ‘gaming uses very little bandwidth’ is only considering the UDP packets sent during an online gaming session and ignoring all the other sources of usage.
I literally have 5-10gb of updates queued up the first time I open steam nowadays
Read the 2nd sentence of the article. They are talking about 120gb CoD patches
To be fair, your arguments basically boil down to “show me equivalent Linux support for Microsoft products”
You could make all the same arguments and conclude Macs are less suitable for doing work than windows, yet there are tons of professionals using MacBooks who get by just fine. If you don’t need to be fully ingrained in the Microsoft ecosystem you don’t NEED to be on windows.
This only affects people running Intel/amd chips pre 2008-2011
The last version of win11 supporting these processors is EOL in 2025. Windows 10 is also EOL in 2025
There is nothing this thing can do that a dedicated hobbyist couldn’t replicate with parts bought off the shelf at a RadioShack, so where does the line get drawn
I feel like 99% of its usage was to avoid ads/paywalls/geo/account restrictions on news and social media sites
It’s markdown, if it detects “[number][period][space]” at the start of a line it converts it to an HTML ordered list, which always starts at one. You should be able to escape it with a \ before the period to bypass the markdown
4. I wrote "4\. "
Crunch wrap & fries supreme (🇨🇦)
The fries supreme are just a shadow of their former self though, 20 years ago they were the best fast food item you could get
It’s a rest of the world unit. Fahrenheit is only used by America, the Cayman islands and Liberia
Every time there is a transaction the sender’s funds are mixed together with a bunch of other senders, and the recipients receive their money from this random pool, so there is no direct association between sender/receiver
That sounds like an issue with google play store, or perhaps you bought “sync for Reddit pro” (the app) in addition to the “remove ads” (in-app purchase on the free app)
I bought redditsync (what it was initially called before Reddit made everyone rename their apps) for $3-4 and used it for a decade without issue
Removing ads in sync is $20 lifetime, not per year
Sort of fine is even an exaggeration. I gifted my GF don’t starve together the other week and steam froze and crashed 3 times just trying to log in. After an hour of trying and failing to get to the library page we just gave up. This is on the current model MBP
The law just means it needs to be replaceable with at most basic tools or specialized tools supplied with the device.
Safari only introduced a date input field like 2 years ago
Author is bad at math. 50% range reduction and a 50% base cost increase. The upgraded model has a 30% range reduction for a 100% cost increase
They aren’t being made anymore - people are just reselling old hoarded stock
