That’s not an effective metric because you don’t know the network speed of the host that the user was downloading from. It’s impossible to tell if the network is slow, or the site they visited was throttled to .5mb. speed tests work because the server you’re downloading from is a known entity

Good idea on theory but it would have to constantly be doing speed tests in the background and those eat up a ton of bandwidth. All the phone knows is what kind of network it’s connected to and what kind of signal strength it has

You would not. In the example given 169.254.1.1 doesn’t even exist, no machine is listening on that address so it couldn’t possibly do any good if it wanted to

Setting the default gateway is unnecessary for a network of peers that are already on the subnet. It can only lead to problems as the hosts try to send every request outside their network to 169.254.1.1, which doesn’t even exist in this scenario

The poster you’re replying to is suggesting a static IP in the apipa range, not an apipa assigned ip. You’d already know a static IP because you set it yourself.

This is the year of Linux on the desktop, and that is good for Bitcoin.

It’s 4chan shit

How do they know what your expenses are?

I’d rather be called a racist than be a racist

I agree. Their intentions are good. Their justification is fucked though.

Nah, progressive racism is well meaning misguided white savior sort of shit, like “if we cut welfare all the black people will starve!”

It was created by the Babylonians, who had a base 12 numbering system. It’s no more arbitrary than base 10, and in fact superior in some ways. 12 can be evenly divided by 2, 3, 4, or 6. 10 can only be evenly divided by 2 and 5.

Frances problem was they were still trying to fight WW1. The Maginot line would have been really effective in 1917

It’s not just regrets. The dude spends all day painting pictures of Iraqi children. He’s fucking haunted by his past.

The Mafia needs their cut

You badly need an email client that doesn’t automatically load pictures

If you can’t find an OS that works for you between android, iOS, the multitude of custom android roms, symbian, and Manjaro on the pinephone, then I suggest you either stop being so picky or make your own.

People would tell me on the age of illegally downloaded or someone legally bought mp3s apple was better because you can’t play your mp3s you have to buy them again off apple

Idk why people told you that but it’s never been true. iPods didn’t give a shit where the mp3 came from, only that it was loaded via iTunes.

Anyone who wants to sideload is tech savvy enough to know that and avoid buying an iPhone. I don’t know who this law is supposed to protect.

Imagine buying a piece of hardware knowing full well that doesn’t work the way you want it to and then bitching that it doesn’t work the way you want it to
