This is a bad take, and the antithesis of net neutrality.

If the customer pays for a connection, the ISP should be able to provide that. Why does it matter if it’s Twitch or Netflix traffic vs anything else?

Slowly? This crap has been going on for years.

It’s as simple as this:

If my ISP charges me for X connection speed, I should be able to use what I paid for. Bandwidth caps make no sense, “internet” is not a resource that has to be generated.

What happened in the pandemic was the first real test displaying very clearly that ISPs are overselling/overprovisioning their network, and hoping we don’t notice that they haven’t actually used the money to upgrade or improve their network.

It’s easy to point the finger at the big bandwidth sources and ask for more money, but it’s wrong and it’s double-dipping. They’re using Twitch and Netflix as the scapegoat for their lack of reinvestment.

What he really means is “we want our 30% cut”

Every device requires a maintainer, someone who builds Lineage specifically for that device.

On top of that most of these OEMs don’t provide device firmware drivers publicly (camera, modem, speakers, etc), so the maintainer has to either use a generic driver (which typically sucks), or reverse engineer something more suitable.

It’s just a time and effort thing. As with all open source projects it relies on the community to volunteer their time for the benefit of others.

Not at all, it has to be flipped off before you can turn it back on.

This is not even a quote from the show….

Should be opt-in, it’s a dumb feature nobody asked for.

android has allowed 3rd party app stores since day 1 so this is going to be an issue on the iPhone how?

OP is probably referring to allowing side loading.

For real, if I could block lemmynsfw that would remove 90% of the porn from my feed.

I swear I blocked every community on there but more keep showing up…

“Now buy our games running in an emulator from the online Switch store”

Why did google kill [product]?

Insert anything from the ever-growing google graveyard.

Go 1440p/120-144 hz.

Easier to drive, best of both worlds.

Or just let us download the actual game/movie/song like the good old days.

Ah yes because making something illegal stops criminals from using it. Problem solved.

SMS doesn’t support encryption, nor is Apple preventing you from downloading any number of encrypted chat apps that work cross platform.

If google didn’t release a new chat app every 6 months we might have a more widespread standard in the US already - and yes RCS is coming to the iPhone next year.

If they have your passcode then no? Why would you give your passcode to someone you don’t trust?

You’re probably thinking about homerf, which was the competitor to WiFi. I don’t think Bluetooth was ever marketed as an alternative to WiFi.
