all Tinder cares about is keeping you swiping, with your eyes on the screen.

same here. i can pay 120 for cable tv and internet at 250mbps, or 100 for internet that is 50mbps.

but my town is a monopoly. i have zero other internet/cable choices.

When i was in school in the 2000s file sharing basically crippled the campus network until it was banned. A few bad actors were hoarding all the bandwidth and storing copyright violation stuff on school servers.

We passed one of these in MA for automobiles via ballot measure. Auto makers flipped their shit.

It’s the protocols more than anything.

stuff with this speeds existed already, it just wasn’t via USB. it was expensive proprietary protocols and hardware and cables. USB is an open standard design for consumer use, and not for giant corps with datacenters who can pay $2,000 for a single data cable.

Thunderbolt is basically a data-transfer focused version of USB, and just requires a different controller that supports the new protocols to achieve the higher speeds.

multiplexing is one way to achieve higher bandwidth and throughput over the same physical cable.

I live in a ‘communist’ city.

Most people here are driving huge honkin’ SUVs and are screaming about the lack of street parking, even though they have driveways.

The entitlement is pure insanity, and this is from so called leftist liberals. The same ones who support BLM, but viciously oppose any new development, especially anything that with affordable housing units.

Truth is a lot of lefties become conservatives when they the issues affect them.

cyclists a minority and abusing minorities is low hanging fruit for the legal industrial complex

meanwhile you can commit murder with your car and get away scot-free. because drivers don’t want anyone to go to jail for driving.
