I don't remember Duckpins. I remember dips and chips, but not sure if i was reading then.,
No, it's charging you for the cost of providing power to your house from the power station and charging Twitch for the cost of getting power from their building to your power provider.
Twitch to you is 1000 miles, and the ISP wants to be paid for the 900 miles from Twitch to the ISP and to charge the customer for the 100 miles from the ISP to their house.
Where it's a problem is where routing is so bad you're paying for more miles than is necessary.
That's the first Slashdot email i've gotten in a little while...
These things are always slower and harder to support than just a standard workstation, support and ongoing costs are higher. 2GB memory was ok for tiny low cost devices 10 years ago, now it's just a joke.
It's not impossible to configure a set of applications that will work in such a poor spec, but most teams can't or won't do it. I think a stop-gap solution might be in order, want to run a software stack with little CPU, a tiny allocation of ram and no local storage? Try it on a physical machine that can be scaled back up.
It probably doesn't even need to be tried at all though, just put an actual user on one of your test environment machines and see how many minutes it takes before they run into a work stoppage.
Commonly tethering is detected by a different ttl, as the connected device will have an extra hop on the way to the carrier router. Some software can be had to alter this count which may evade detection.
The cities are turning blue. Out west, they still vote for election denies and confederate sympathizers.
The economy of 90% of the population is largely irrelevant.
Who is going to buy the widgets when nobody is paid to make widgets?
As long as the rich are comfortable, they don't care.
They had the money and wasted it because that's how Venture Capitalists work. The last thing capitalists want to do is spend money. You can't have billion dollar projects and trust that the people at the top have the moral integrity to manage it. There needs to be criminal penalties, not just civil penalties when corners are cut that result in safety issues.
When incandescent bulbs were first on the way out back around 2010, I stuck with CFLs because they had whiter light and were cheaper. LEDs tended to have an ugly blue hue.
These days LEDs are much cheaper (about $1 per bulb) and you can have blue, yellow/orange, or white light, or whatever color you want.
So many people try things long ago and never bother to try again.
It's the same issue with electric stoves. People have coil electric and don't even know other types exist and cost about just as much.
I'm not going into an office because Bob in accounting is lonely or because Steve is operating heavy machinery.
