True, but everyone paying for “broadband internet” is paying that premium for the fat pipes to carry video on demand.

The communication, socialization and creation space might use less than 10% of the bandwidth, less than 0.1% if you take video out of it.

Not to mention: the old people (the ones with money) can’t see them.

Flip phones with 7 day battery life, including 20 hours of talk time?

Depends on how you measure things. If you pie-chart the internet by bandwidth used, most of it is currently used for TV 2.0 (streaming video, mostly by subscription.)

While I was doing OS-X stuff, I remember Darwin just being a really painfully bad implementation of the apt functionality in Debian based Linuxes… Potaytoe, Potahtoe, Darwin is like burnt house fries, IMO.

For clarity, I have done it myself - plenty, but not just on Unix boxes.

I had a remote relay box: 8 channels of power control, so I could at least power cycle machines from remote when all else failed.

I actually ended up not using it much at all, it was a nice security blanket, but the last time I decided that I wanted to power cycle something was about 6 years ago, and at that time I realized it had been over 3 years since I had previously used it, and that usage was more of a “let’s make sure this thing is working like I think it should” test.

It’s not Unix, it’s you.

prompt Trump for his opinion on the man anything to force him to take a side.

That’s how you get banned from the press pool.
