Better than CenturyLink in my area, who asks for a 4 year commit. They know Google is a comin'.
I finally got a 64-bit CPU working in my thinkpad. The T7600 was totally dead, but the T7200 I got for less than half the price works fine.
The only thing I could get the 7600 to do was get really fucking hot and not turn on the fan.
I don't think Google is pursuing the fiber game anymore.
Wouldn't a Cyrix CPU still be slower than that Pentium of yours?
Cyrix made better stuff than Intel sometimes
Cells exploding are the least of my problems. I should have worn gloves. Did only 5 batteries and I think I cut myself 500 times. Mostly just stabbing myself by accident lol
My city has google fiber, right after they started building out Comcast and CenturyLink started ramping up their gig packages.
Looking at scores and in-game results from the time, it looks like they were neck and neck for a while.
We had a local ISP that was going to build out fiber for the city, but Google came in all "We'll do it for freeeeee" or whatever, and that deal died quick. The local ISP would've been done by now, or at least would have transparent updates on where their build-out plans are.
Fucking politics.
Do you guys know how an ISP goes about detecting "piracy"? My mom was redirected to a page from our internet provider saying that we infringed some copyright or something. We called our ISP and they said that we have to get it resolved unless we want our connection shut down (we had to leave a message with some other number).
If this was 4 years ago I'd put the blame on me but with Netflix and YouTube, nobody in this house actually torrents things anymore. Surely it can't just be "you used a p2p protocol so you're obviously stealing," right? I'm kind of at a loss for what the trigger for this message was.
P2P by it's very nature means that your IP address is publicly available if you're downloading a torrent.
Some media companies monitor popular torrents and who up/downloads them.
What I'm getting at is if Steam or Windows Update triggered this through their uses of the protocol
ISPs don't usually care until they get a letter from a license holder
someone on your network is doing something they shouldn't be
Sucks having an ISP that does shit on that end, the media companies won't do shit. All 3 ISPs I've worked for we just delete them when they come in.
At the ISP I work for, we get automated copyright infringement notices from our IP space emailed to us on a generic email address. By Canadian law we have to forward them to customers, but most ISPs will attach a cover letter basically saying "We have to forward this on by law and keep a record for X days, we can't verify the legitimacy of the claim or if the legal language applies here in Canada, it's up to you if you want to respond. We will not shut off your internet". Many smaller ISPs don't monitor customer internet traffic beyond "Who had this public IP and for how long?".
Sounds like a scam
Just take solace in the fact that the copyright holder had to pay ~$70 per IP to found out who you are and send you an ineffective letter if you're in the US
Pretty sure they just grab WHOIS data for the IP range and blast the NOC/Abuse email address.
Only notice I ever tracked down was for "I came in my sister 2." Managed to track it down to the guest wifi at a car dealership we managed. I'm just concerned he missed all the plot from the first.
Ah yes, "I Came in my Sister 2: The Second Cumming", a cult classic
Because I hate myself and my sleep schedule, I decided to spend all the night documenting the whole process of installing wifi drivers on Broadcom B43xx series for Fedora 28 on an old core 2 duo laptop onto my own wiki, because there's literally no proper information in a single place and all the knowledge had to be scrapped off several different forum posts that were sometimes old as 10 years.
Don't mind the broken mediawiki theme, recently upgraded after leaving the thing rot for 3 years and it's not compatible.
...So I did the stupid thing and bought a 144Hz "gaming" VA panel - specifically the Samsung C24FG73. And to be perfectly honest... I couldn't be happier. I guess this marks the point where VA panels have finally "matured" because its motion performance is actually really goddamn good. It's not quite as good as a quality TN panel but the color is so good, it makes up for that. I'd recommend this monitor as an excellent balance between performance and color that you won't get in a TN panel.
As an owner of the preceding model for that display, yeah, they're pretty good.
By default the color profile over-saturates, so setting it to sRGB is something I recommend most people do.

Got this spoopy email today. Cant imagine when I even used a password hurrdurr or when I last had a webcam plugged in. Probably scares quite a few people with emails like these though.
Reply "yes!"
Fuck, i just marked it as spam..
Already done. Had to turn red and green way the fuck down, too, even in sRGB mode.
Yeah, I love mine. I'm still kinda bummed I have an older variant before they fixed Freesync, though...
The Freesync on my Koreashit monitor is hilariously broken by default but can be fixed via defining Freesync spec in CRU
I'm making a conscious decision to not use Freesync because I'm getting an Nvidia card soon and I won't be able to use adaptive sync with that.
