I’m all for being able to change your name legally once, at the age of 13. Then It’s up to you at 18 if you feel the need to change it again.

Whoops. You’re right. Thanks for pointing that out.

I believe you meant that you have an internet speed of 81 MegaBytes vs 81 Megabits.

From back in the day, there was a settings section for limiting your download/upload speeds, to make sure you didn’t max out your data cap/plan. I would suggest looking into that to make sure you’re not self-capping your DLs.

Also check to make sure that your ISP isn’t throttling your internet connection after you hit a certain amount of data. Look at the contract you have with them.

But like others have said, it could be a list of other reasons.

Edit: Just thought about it. Make sure that you’re connected with a Cat 5e ethernet cable or higher. You might be limiting yourself through your hardware.

If you need to get a newer ethernet cable, I highly recommend Monoprice.com as a place to buy online. Far more often, I have found that they have better prices (even after shipping,) and a wider selection of things than Newegg or Amazon for that matter.

Yeah, I don’t struggle with boycotting Amazon. The only times I’ve really used Amazon in the past have been for PC parts, audio headphones, and a random thing or two. I do my absolute best not to buy needless things as it is, and I know that there are plenty of other websites to use if I really need to get something online. (I knew this was gonna come in handy one day ha.) Here’s a website called amazonalts.org. It’s curated websites/online stores for the ethical consumer in mind. The categories are Food, Home, Clothes, Beauty, Books, Electronics, and Miscellaneous.

A few things to comment on.

| I didn’t get an iPhone until 2021 or so and all of my android phones before then ran slow in a year or so.

Like your computer, smartphones slow down when you have a lot of things running/idling in the background. They also slow down with bloatware. Cleaning your phone’s memory every so often is a smart practice to incorporate into your ownership of the device. CCleaner is the one I download every so often to do a scan and clean what I can. There’s bound to be a better app option, but that’s the one I know about and have used before.

And just so we’re on the same page, I bought a refurbished Pixel 2 back in early 2020 and it’s been running fine for me. Haven’t noticed any issues with operations except for the screen and the battery not holding its charge as long as it once did. But to be fair, my screen has a few hairpin cracks in it from dropping it on accident a couple of times. And the battery hold on any smartphone degrades with age and usage.

| That never happened with my iPhones.

You’re either super lucky or you’re the kind of person that gets a new smartphone every year or so; for some reason or another.

As I mentioned above, smartphones naturally and unnaturally get slower as they age. But let’s not forget that planned obsolescence is very much being used across the board.

First off - Absolutely.

Secondly - Whitest Kids U’Know is one of the best sketch shows to ever be produced.

Thirdly - I miss Trevor Moore.

I’m really glad to see someone take up the task of reporting on the Fediverse news in video format.

Thanks for sharing!

It’s fine, just as long as it isn’t MINE or affects ME. (What a weird timeline we live in.)

Funny video. I love to see people repurpose this source video.

I’m curious if anyone knows more though. I saw a blip saying that DeepSeek “stole” ClosedAI OpenAI’s LLM model data. If this is true, it would make a lot of sense as to how they did it for less than others could.

This looks visually stunning! The cinematic storytelling clips from the trailer is phenomenal! And it’s from one of the greatest stories to be told in the Warhammer 40k lore?! Sign me the fuck up!!

The term rollback is often used in the software industry, as a way to undo an update. Since the update was pushed to the client side from the development side, and was realized to not be ready. Apple’s team manager(s) would have discussed whether to patch it or roll it back to the previous software version. Patching such a thing would have taken “some time” to do so. So it was better to roll it back and really hammer on it, to work out the kinks and such.

Well dang. Now I want to play Guitar Hero. (GH3 was my favorite by far.)

Check out The Boat That Rocked. It’s based on true events from the 1960s.

First time hearing about this YT channel. Thanks for sharing.

Haha. Yeah, I found it a bit too fast as well. Setting it to 75-80% playback speed worked well.

Oh, you’re right.

Well, how about QtC or QTC?
