Or Thailand.
$12 for fibre, unlimited data. They have so much fibre there, no one bothers to meter usage or even have special low price contracts for low usage.
Of course if you live in a random yahoo village, it might eb a bit different.
This is gibberish. Do you think the CMTS has come kind of PEP built into it or there is some sort of multicast going on? I can't even figure out what you are trying to say
Then learn to read.
Nonsense. Cable operators allocate a large number of downstream channels and a limited number of upstream channels on the RF. From what I remember cable modems don't even support more than 8 upstream channels. I never saw more than 4.
That is not nonsense. As that is exactly what I said.
Part of the bandwidth is reserved for downstream, the other part for upstream. Does not make the upstream in any way crappy. It is just intentionally so that they only give 15% pr 25% of the downstream bandwidth as upstream. And: on upstream everyone is competing with each other.
Downstream can be cashed. No idea what there is not to be grasped about.
Perhaps he is a dofus, how should I know?
Fact is: the Wifi is slower than the fiber. And most likely his ethernet is slower as well.
No, idea. Try to uncheck it and check it again?
I also had no mod points for 10 years, since 2 years I get them sometimes again. Pretty rare actually.
20 years ago I had daily modpoints, sometimes up to 25.
The most accessible in a few clicks is the UK.
And I was talking about Germany.
That you regularly have no wind in winter in UK: is hard to believe.
This is what happens when you have people with degrees in literature or media studies or some kind of vague social subjects enthusiastically
That might eb a problem, but at least they are not yahoos
If the product is an easily read, accurate website, that's a good outcome.
I suppose. I find AI prose increasingly-grating. I have to read it all day while working and when I hit some web page that uses all the same obnoxious phrasing and structure I tend to just close the tab and look for a different source.
Yes it makes use of the thumbwheels, but that's missing the point. You have to go to the touch screen first before being able to do ANY of that. Sure, it's fine once you're in that mode for the scrollwheels, but getting there is completely obnoxious when you're also trying to drive.
Go to the screen...menu -> controls -> mirror icon. Adjust one. Fumble with screen to select the other mirror, adjust.
On my Mazda3 and every other car I've owned it's a selector switch and a joystick on the door. Very intuitive and within easy reach without ever looking at it. They've been that way since the 80s when power mirrors came to the masses. My '85 Celica had the same setup.
Meh, I suppose. IMO it's not worth optimizing in a car that's able to remember settings associated with a driver. In "dumb" cars, if the regular drivers are different sizes (I'm 8 inches taller than my wife) you need to be able to quickly and easily adjust the mirror positions, because you have to do it a lot. In my Tesla, I mostly find it annoying that the main rear-view mirror doesn't automatically adjust, requiring me to reach up and move it by hand. I think the best fix for that, though, is to replace it with a screen fed from a rear-view camera.
AC? If it's not in the little controls in the bottom corner you have to flip-up the larger control screen, and do weird pinchy things with your fingers to adjust the vents, looking at the screen while driving. Fumble for the fan speed at the bottom of the screen. Try to slide around to adjust the temperature at the bottom of the screen.
Again, this mostly seems moot with per-driver, automatically-applied settings. I have the air flow adjusted to my liking and never touch it. I never manually adjust fan speed, either, only the thermostat... and that I do by long-pressing the left thumb wheel then scrolling up or down. I have to long-press because I like the media controls to be the "primary" use of that wheel.
Compare to conventional car with knobs where you can take one glance at where your hand is going and do it by feel.
I think this claim is overrated, at least for me. I end up having to look quite a bit. Obviously once I've found the control I could look back at the road while I adjust it... but I often don't do that in vehicles with manual controls, like my truck. Again, I prefer to adjust the climate control by changing the thermostat rather than playing with temperature or fan volume by "feel", and I have to see the temperature display which is in the center console. I know what temperatures I prefer, though, so I look move my hand to the control, rotate it until it shows the temp I want, then return my attention to the road.
Similarly with the sound system. I know what volume I prefer and adjust until the display shows that level. On the rare occasion I listen to the radio I don't use the tuning knob, I use the "scan" button, which requires looking while I hit the button, then listening until the right station comes on, then looking while I hit the button again to stop the scan.
There are reasons why certain things are the way they are. It's because a company spent a LOT of time doing ergonomic studies and trials. I hate it when people throw out all that work in lieu of something else just because it's different, without a lot of thought and study first. It's putting the cart before the horse.
"OK, what would you do if you couldn't have any buttons, how could you make it suck less?" I feel they're working backwards from 'terrible' to 'only mostly terrible'. Not much of an improvement.
Different strokes, I guess. I quite like Tesla's system. I did prefer having a stalk for the turn signals rather than the buttons on the steering wheel. My wife likes the buttons... which is interesting because she prefers to drive manually a lot more than I do, so it may be that I just haven't given them a chance. She says she likes that she can signal without having to take her hand off the wheel. I use FSD pretty much all the time except when I'm driving for fun, which I basically never do in environments where I have to use turn signals.
"It is clear Flock has aspirations far beyond ALPRs to become a digital platform for policing," [emphasis mine]
They misspelled, "Orwellian suveillance and harrassment."
Law enforcement officers are already abusing Flock's existing capabilities for stalking. This will not improve matters one iota.
However agreeing or not agreeing is not a reason for moderation.
Should be plain obvious to a normal human being, and is explicitly stated so in the modding rules.
Perhaps you did not check the checkbox: willing to moderate.
That is actually funny - in a sense,
Considering that all pirating in our days is done with motor "motherships" and motor assault ships, and: the targets are usually oil tankers which agree, to pump down a bit of their load: it is all about oil and CO2.
Not specific to data centers, but too often legislators ignore the will of the people who voted them in. We could use more of this type of accountability.
If only voters would get this worked up about corruption.
There's obviously a massive large-scale backlash here, and it is pretty bipartisan. Part of it is concern about water use (which is largely overblown) and part is concern about increases in electricity cost (which is much more reasonable). But it is clear that two related things are happening: 1) People are reacting this way to all data centers, whether or not they have anything to do with AI. 2) People are blocking data centers rather than trying to take reasonable steps to make them manageable with their concerns, like requiring that they have solar panels. There's room for compromise here, but we're not getting it.
People are also ignoring the benefits. Data centers don't bring a lot of jobs after construction is complete, but they can generate a lot of tax revenues for counties and cities. Huge amounts of money that can be a real game-changer for the local budgets, and could be very beneficial for the locals. By itself that's not a reason to accept them, but it should be part of the overall calculation, and the net cost/benefit of the projects should be reasonably and fairly evaluated, and negotiated.
But this isn't what's happening.
No buttons for the mirrors
The thumb wheels on the steering wheel do that. You do have to use the touch screen to put it in "mirror adjust" mode, but really that's something you only do once. Set up your driver profile, set your mirrors, then the car just always changes them to your settings.
No buttons for the wiper. If you leave the auto-wiper on it randomly activates and smears the windshield in the driest of weather
I find the auto wiper works pretty well... it is important to keep the windshield fairly clean, but I like to do that anyway.
The door handles are terrible.
Yeah, the Model 3/Y handles are weird. The S/X handles are pretty nice. In theory the fact that they're motorized could make them a maintenance problem. In practice, little electric motors are extremely reliable. There was a problem with the wiring harness getting fatigued and breaking about 10 years ago, but that's been fixed.
The lack of any kind of physical controls for climate and entertainment is terrible
Those are also on the thumb wheels on the steering wheel.
