What the hell ever happened with ReiserFS (or whatever it was called?) It was supposed to be used in Vista, and then just never was.

That sucks. Happens when there’s no competition in your area. Verizon is $60 for 1Gbps here, no data cap, because they have to compete with Cox. Greedy bastards.

Well I’m only talking about political news videos, here. Sorry for not clarifying.

You might not have to. Look into fixed 5G internet. So long as you have a view of a tower (which you should in a major metropolitan city; I’m in suburbia and still have 3 within view), speeds and latency are as good as a wired connection. I’d look into it.

Wow I had that in 2008. Damn that sucks. You can’t even stream 4K HDR video.

You pay $4 more than I do for the same thing (with no bandwidth cap). If you’re not out in the sticks, internet is fine here.

In rural areas, yes.

In cities, Gigabit internet is abundant and only mildly expensive. Here in Phoenix I pay $60/mo for 1 Gbps down, 50 Mbps up with no bandwidth cap from Verizon. Not the best but far from “awful”.

Who needs reddit? Now I go to Imgur for memes, and Lemmy for news.

The only thing reddit is still better at is finding an answer to a very specific question (adding site:reddit.com to your Google searches works wonders), but that’ll improve with time as more and more people get tired of Spez’s bullshit and migrate here. Can’t wait to see the death of reddit. Was a member since the beginning and it’s sad to see it go the way of Digg.

That and right-wing propaganda. So much propaganda.

Just click on any video from a “liberal media” outlet, (like CNN), and look at the comments. (Or the dislike count if you have Return YouTube Dislike installed.)And then look at a video from Fox News. Nothing but praise for them, while the “liberal” videos are filled with so much hate from right-wing trolls.

If you didn’t know any better, you could be lead to believe than 98% of Americans are Republican.

Seriously, lol; how did this post even get upvotes? (UpLemmies? Whatever they’re called here)

Hijacking this comment cause more people REALLY need to know about Debrid services, such as Real-Debrid. It “caches” torrents, so anything you want can be downloaded instantly at your connection’s maximum bandwidth; no waiting for seeds. And since you’re not distributing anything, you don’t have to pay for a VPN, either.

EDIT: It’s kind of like a seed box, except it’s more of a collective seed box. So if at least one user added the torrent before, you can download it immediately.

I have a Gigabit connection and was able to download three different AAA titles, 50+ GB each, play all of them, then decide that I don’t like any of them, all within a couple of hours. It’s mind-blowing how much faster it is than using a torrent client.

Even better, you can integrate it with your favorite media center app like Plex or Kodi (personally I prefer Stremio for its Netflix-like interface). Now you have every show and film from every streaming platform – all in one place – streamed instantly to your TV. I’ll never use torrent clients ever again. They take too long.

EDIT: It bothers me that so many people are willing to dismiss Debrid services without even giving them a chance. Here’s proof that this is legit – /r/Piracy megathread on reddit | Video 1 | Video 2 (sorry for the shaky phone video. I just wanted to get this evidence out quickly before people move on to a different thread, and it’s kinda difficult to have a steady hand when you’re trying to film and click at the same time.)
