After a half hour long conversation with my 63 year old father, I can confirm it’s the instances that’s confusing people.

A big heat sink like they used to put on WD Raptor drives.

Not to defend Elmo but I feel like that’s a fairly normal thing for most species? If our ancestors didn’t have a breeding kink we wouldn’t be here.

At the risk of sounding like a shill, I like Kagi.

When my elderly, and tech illiterate family ask how to switch from Windows; I’m sorry but I’m not telling them to use Linux because they’re going to harass me nonstop for tech support.

At best this will be the year of macOS, because there’s a store I can send them to for all their questions.

This why it pays to use a search engine that lets you blocklist sites

Ah another day, another Cloudflare cockup. It would be nice if the service that insists on MitM’ing a huge chunk of the internet could focus a bit more on stability.

Very cool and they should keep doing this, but no one’s CPE is going to be able to do anywhere near this speed unless they plan on giving everyone large enterprises routers for home use.

It will definitely depend on the ISP, but generally for repeated “AUP” violations they will suspend your service entirely.

Interestingly it’s often not technically the data usage that triggers this, its how much utilisation (generally peak utilisation) you cause and high data usage is a by product of that. Bandwidth from an ISP’s core network to their various POIs that customer connections come from is generally quite expensive, and residential broadband connections are fairly low margin. So lets say they’ve got 100Gbps to your POI that could realistically service many thousands of people, a single connection worth €/$10-15 a month occupying 10% of that is cause for concern.
