Now Fox News are the PC Police?!

Stylistically similar. Spotted in Mexico City:

I understand that they use a CDN. That doesn’t make anything I said incorrect.

This didn’t happen. Netflix think they are a “peer”, but they almost exclusively egress traffic. So they use an ISP, and that ISP doesn’t always have enough capacity. That’s why Netflix is so hot to put their servers in major ISP’s data centers. But it’s all the same to you.

I can’t speak to the rest of the anglophone world, but in the US your ISP almost certainly won’t be prioritizing speed test traffic, as that has only recently (maybe?) become legal.

In my perfect world, yours would have been the only reply to this story.

On what grounds do you hang this hope?

Is that a side-effect of me replying? I certainly didn’t star that shit.

I run a tiny Windows VM on my Mac for dumb Visio. It’s forever running out of space. The built-in tools would clean up maybe a few tens of megs at a time.

I’m mad about any and all war crimes. So your unprompted whataboutism is wasted on me. Thanks all the same.

Oh, nice, It’s a baby Lt. Calley. Complete with a chain of command hell-bent on denying the malfeasance.

You may be 90% sure, but you are 100% wrong.

I’m a fan of Tarantino’s work, but I find that each chapter of Inglourious Basterds is less interesting than the one before it.

It is also not a rutabaga.

The content is VBR, but this article is about how they VARY the VBR stream you get. This technology is barely ONE decade old ;-)

That said, unless you’re the pickiest of audiophiles, the new audio bitrates are pretty good, and they won’t result in higher bandwidth requirements or more data usage, either. [. . .] uninterrupted streaming at the highest bitrates would add little more than half a megabit per second to Netflix’s total bandwidth…

This is a great tip! And there’s a Safari version.

You fundamentally misunderstand. It’s no skin off my nose if you make crack jokes. But you reveal yourself and what you think of others when you take their suffering for a joke.

How would you feel if it was called, “My homeworld exploded pie”?

Thank you for sharing your point of view.
