I feel like it's pretty obvious this was a greedy and terrible idea. The fact they proposed this at all alone is enough to never trust them again. It's not that they didn't know. They knew. No one would be okay with this cash grab and they know it. They just didn't realize HOW big the pushback was going to be but they DID know what they were doing was wrong.

They could try not putting so many ads you can't fucking read and making sure they don't contain malware. That'd be a start.

A lot of these things are due to the greed of the website owners stuffing as many ads as they possibly can into their sites.

They're not throttling, it's just a really shitty USB controller (what they were using with lightning). Still sad imo but ultimately who the hell is even using the USB port on their phone to transfer data?

Does it really matter when you put a case on it anyway? I'd prefer plastic. Glass is stupid and breakable. We shouldn't be trying to put MORE of it on phones.

Discord is better than IRC imo. I used IRC for a VERY long time and Discord was the one that finally killed it for me. We'll see if it lasts. I guess if they kill themselves (and they keep trying to), IRC will still be there waiting. Used to be on Rizon!

DID they get better or has everyone just gotten worse and they just look better in comparison? ASUS used to be my go-to and now I just feel bleh.

Could look into Dacentec if you need more cheap servers. I use them for my stuff. YMMV since you're getting a hell of a lot more traffic than I am but they haven't blocked Cloudflare on mine yet so that's a plus. :)

I don't really. I was just explaining the reasoning there. It is still important to know how to use a computer. That said, I've worked in IT and many people of all ages are pretty terrible with tech anyway lol.

No one is saying things should not just work. The problem is they still break sometimes and people have no idea what to do because it's rarer now. Also when you get into the business world, you need to use an actual computer to do work. A tablet is not going to cut it. Tablets are mostly for consuming/using, not creating. It's a lot easier if you know how to use a computer to do that (Windows, Mac, whatever but you need to understand that basics).

Global entry means not waiting in that line at all. It's fucking magical. I'll definitely renew mine. Basically you just breeze through all this shit like it's the 90s again.

So my question is, whose name is on the seedbox? I've seen people say this...is it one of the special hosts that will just send you a notice and not tell the complaint filer who you are? Connecting to a VPN or proxy has been easy enough and cheaper lol.
