This isn't the first time Amazon has imposed rate hikes from moving data to other cloud service providers. On paper it's typically considered a premium fee to cross transfer from AWS to competing cloud providers.

One key recommendation when moving away from AWS is if data is also stored on-prem then quietly shifting data from on-prem to new cloud service is highly recommended and far cheaper than the alternative.

Browser-based DNS opens up potential security holes and targeting by state-backed hackers. Applying this principle from local machine to browser would simplify the process. While its good for privacy from ISP's this promotes new security issues with DNS holistically.

VPN services are still the better choice for masking traffic without compromising DNS security.

Here is something to keep in mind as DNS is becoming a bigger target:

It would be fair to say that history has taught us that there are not enough objective truths to be had on the basis trying to specify gaming in excess as a viable disorder unless said intentions are to tap into a demographic for financial gains.

Realistically an action of any varying degree could be deemed as a disorder if deemed to be a large enough scale of an issue with people in behavioral abnormalities to address concern and be labeled a valid addiction.

Common sense (as it will vary) should be taken into consideration first.

While the initial example seems less than acceptable by the punishment-- this does set in motion a trend that YouTube might take in more swift action against others going forward possibly acting as a deterrent from "false flagging" and "copyright trolling".

This can be seen as a new trend to combat frivolous claims made on YouTube videos in hopes that it will diminish said "trolling" actions from would-be bad actors in the YouTube space.

This has been problem for quite sometime on the platform, and should hopefully catch ground with the ever-growing habits such as this being displayed by todays current emotional, and assumed politically correctness climate.

This could backfire on Microsoft as this appears to force censorship on a platform. Depending on how Microsoft plans to implement this-- it could either set a precedence's for parental controls on language, or it could spark a mass exodus from teenagers and adults alike.

Thomas Dorr made an interesting note on this project.

According to Thomas's post this looks to be similar to the following:

With a few modifications this could look to be ARM SOC's being put into mainstream PC use.

We read this and often wonder why more energy is spent on re-classifying naming conventions to appease emotional correctness rather than putting that focus to more feasible use to solving actual problems, and discovering new technological developments to push to better efficacy as a whole.

The fine lines between common sense and social insecurities have most recently become blurred to where the slightest non-acceptance of a term that doesn't fit within an individual, or groups pronoun tolerance has become a center focus of controversy more so to a degree that talk is becoming more important than tech.

One would ask.. have we as society become so enamored in over appropriation of proper language usage to such a degree that it could be more inclined to cause social disarray rather than a problem-solving change for a positive impact to make humanity feel better?

When it comes to the console space, powerful hardware is a plus, however a solid set of games, and not just exclusives must follow suit; otherwise having a powerful console alone with a lackluster list of games to play will fall short as we've all seen throughout 2017 / 2018 years. For the sake of console gaming as a whole in the Xbox realm; one should hope the abundance of solid games will be as plentiful as the power of hardware being used.

We have experienced from mechanical, SSD, and NVMe drives that there are points of failure that we can detect, and there are points of failure we can't. Most cases where an unpredictable failure occurs is almost always at the power source, and is mostly indicative of voltage irregularity in our tests with bad drives from these 3 types. While we'd like to think that new hardware will hold up to a degree of it's certified life span; voltage as a whole to power said hardware will almost certainly add the anomalous layer for a margin of error from minimal to catastrophic.

A clone will popup soon to take it's place with less restrictions eventually. As to how many, and what the names will be of said clones is the more prominent question.

The best thing to do before committing to an new update is to either test on another Windows 10 machine "if available", or wait for reviews with how the new update works with other user upgrades/tests. This allows a user to review before commit.

This comes across as a ploy to obtain attention whether it happens or not.

We have 1 machine used for gaming as the reset is Linux. Sadly it's purpose most days is media, music, and gaming.

Two things keeping us on a singular Windows machine:

1.) FL Studio (We just like how it works versus other DAW's)
2.) Gaming as a whole (not just some games.)

Once we can get past these without having to run a Windows VM to run an application we'd prefer to a higher native degree, then we will be 100% Linux.
