you still need a good connection for the game to update itself before you can play
That reminds me, I paused an update last night. ESO was downloading a >1GB update at something on the order of .1MB/s, but despite the very slow download speed, it was absolutely killing any other connections (TDWTF and YT were both almost completely unusable). I forgot to resume the update when I didn't need the other connections.

@Bulb It's largely the same debate that already gave some ISPs the idea to ask Netflix to pay for infrastructure upgrades. ISPs have run the numbers and found that they don't see enough return value spending their profits to keep upgrading the networks. Both sides are assholes. ISPs have oversold themselves with 1Gbps consumer offers and Netflix promises their customers 4K30 when it's pretty much outside of their control.
The customers pay their ISP. Netflix pays their ISP. The ISPs complain "Netflix uses too much traffic". Fuck off, it's none of your business if the traffic I pay for is Netflix or
furry hentaiLinux ISOs, it's already paid for.

@boomzilla Who wouldn't?

FYI, it’s about a 3000’ hike to gain this ridgeline. someone truly committed to the bit. legendary.
I wouldn't.

@boomzilla Yeah. Now that I think about it, it sounds like work.

@topspin
Dying fromnet neutrality isn't the point. Linux ISOs, your preferred indulgence in proclivities, Netflix or game streaming, doesn't matter. ISPs don't actually have the capacity and streaming pushers cannot actually give any guarantee that it'll work. The consumer is trapped between these two lies.

If I had a bunch of money to blow on making others upset, I could possibly rent a helicopter to go do stuff like that.

TL:DR Samsung is using AI/ML (neural network trained on 100s of images of the moon) to recover/add the texture of the moon on your moon pictures, and while some think that's your camera's capability, it's actually not. And it's not sharpening, it's not adding detail from multiple frames because in this experiment, all the frames contain the same amount of detail. None of the frames have the craters etc. because they're intentionally blurred, yet the camera somehow miraculously knows that they are there. And don't even get me started on the motion interpolation on their "super slow-mo", maybe that's another post in the future..
Wait, didn't we already know that
ChinesiumAndroid phones just lie and the "AI improved" pictures have no resemblance with reality?

As part of the KDP Select agreement, authors promise to make digital versions of their books exclusive to Amazon. This makes sense, as it comes with various perks. However, this rule doesn’t only apply to competing stores, pirate sites are included as well.

Max said his feat was inspired by the 1986 discovery of a church organ at the summit of Ben Nevis.
It was later discovered that the Scottish strongman Kenny Campbell had heaved it up there for charity in 1980.
I take it Ben Nevis isn't frequently climbed.

After the US demonstrated its new balloon-hunting capabilities, Russia tries to one-up them by ... uh. Unclear. Regardless of what the mission was, it was clearly completed with the usual competence and professionalism the world's come to expect.

They probably tried to get it to crash using tail vortexes.
Or some dumbass attempt to dump fuel and light it?
They aren't the sharpest cucumbers in the shed after all.

Is anybody even still on Facebook? I mean, I still have an account, but either nobody is posting anything other than the ad agencies, or Facebook just doesn’t show what people post anymore. Why would people pay to watch ads?

@DogsB ah shit, the label's skewed. Well, hopefully somebody has a Geiger counter.

I hope we'll get some material for the front page of TDWTF.

@Gearhead BTW, welcome to WTDWTF. I don't see too many new names here any more.

Yes I have those. What would you like to measure?

@jinpa Thank you jinpa. It's very nice to receive your warm welcome!
I found the front page last year. Finding the : forum was increasingly welcome. Some like me are slow to notice these forums are available.

@Gearhead Given your familiarity with our in-house emoticons, can't rule out the possibility that you're just a reincarnation.

@jinpa Thank you. I have lurked long before my first posting and reading WTF posts has been great. In the old days, the custom was to lurk and understand before posting. Is this not still true? In my lurking time, I think I understood a few: , and . The first means "I'm too lazy to check" and the second means "Cheers", no? If so or not, thank you!

:tro**** generally are used as substitutes for , due to them coming up as auto-complete options when you start typing the latter. Personally I kind of use in the trolling cases where I'd use rooSip or similar emotes on Twitch.
