oh my god a negligible performance difference release the hounds

Next thing you know someone will leak more photos of the sound stage where they filmed the moon landing.

> It is, if you're using your internet connection to replace TV, because TV content takes up a lot of bandwidth.

I don't think you understand how Comcast's digital cable TV gets to customers.

Hint: It's digital video over IP.

So when you have cable TV it's like Comcast is sending 140 HD video streams to your house at the same time 24 hours a day.

That's like asking why we should build freeways if trucking companies are just going to make money off of them.

Also holy shit the shills are coming out of the woodwork on slashdot.

Clearly because comments cannot be edited by users and especially anonymous comments.

Wow, they pulled the discrimination card...

This is why we can't have nice things.

This is why socialism doesn't work.

This is why you can't have universal income.

For every civil human being who cares as much about everyone else as they do themselves there are five shit sucking, toxic, self consumed pieces of human garbage.

This is what corporations do.

You take them to court to make them stop doing a thing, so they wait a little while and do it again.

They're like a bad dog waiting to steal your dinner from the table as soon as you walk out of the room.

There's no way to stop them because they hire throngs of asshole legal jockeys to find out ways around the legal system so they can do whatever they want.

See also the "baby bells" fiasco.

Almost every time I have had a dispute with a customer, Uber and Lyft have both ruled in my favor.

Of course I have a dash cam in my car so that probably helps.

You should know that if you take a different route than Google Maps suggests you don't get paid for that extra time/mileage.

Uber uses Google Maps' API to estimate how long you should spend driving for a dropoff and pays you based on that.

In fact if you go off route a lot they will eventually suspend your account.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this but your vote doesn't matter in the US.

Take a look at the current battle with the FCC.

There was overwhelming, undeniable objection to the FCC's reversal of net neutrality rules.

And the FCC be like ":D whatevs".

Please expand your acronyms.

The average reader who doesn't work in that industry isn't going to know what "GCSE" means.

We know exactly how this is going to go, too.

"Well wireless carriers have been doing it for years and that's legal!"

You don't think major ISPs have been dumping money into wireless carriers and creating MVNOs with them for no reason?

Nobody is using Comcast Wireless, that's just a money sink to avoid suspicion about financially jerking off Big Wireless.

> if it detects wrong portions of the file as commercials, you could end up missing out on part of your favorite shows.

Okay so basically "Plex releases a feature that randomly wipes portions of your recordings."

I don't understand why they don't just make cigarette manufacturing illegal.

This is like if there's a guy who goes out every day and just shoots people on the subway and instead of putting him away you run ads saying that he's dangerous.
