That is what they ISP calls it in their advertising material - they call it Internet speed.
Then your connection to the internet would be at dial-up modem speeds, now wouldn't it?
You said that the only speed that matters is your connection to the private network provided by the ISP. In that case, that would gigabit, not dial-up speed. And if your ISP is the one providing it, what difference does it make what its reach is? You said that any private network provided by the ISP is "The Internet."
Without peering agreements, most of "the Internet" (the actual service connection on offer) is inaccessible. So being able to connect to your ISP's private network at 100Mbps means absolutely nothing at all.
measuring your connection to the internet is what is important, not measuring the output of someone's web server somewhere on the other side of the planet.
So let's assume they're picking some private speed test server in Korea, and not something like Ookla's Speedtest.net that has endpoints literally everywhere around the country.
They said "Internet speed" in their claim. You sound like a Verizon lawyer. If private network speed is all that counts, they could just sell you a gigabit LAN router with a dial up modem attached.
It is not suspicious to anyone who understands networks that they would want you to use a known source when testing your network connection.
Yes, it is. The ISP having control over it means that it's likely within the provider's network. That is, no peering agreements involved. That's not even really "Internet" speed. That's just private network speed - the speed you may be able to connect to other users of that ISP with, were it not for asymmetric plans being standard.
And they may even further cheat by geo-routing DNS for the test to a server at the nearest hop. How fast can you connect within your ISP's network to the nearest city? Not really relevant to real-world usage.
Do they not know how GUIDs work? That article shouldn't come through more than once - it should update your original local copy with the updated version.
And so does whatever web site you were already on when you pressed enter. That's the difference. For some reason, they update the JavaScript location object before actually navigating.
With Apple, they block you. With Windows, you at least get to make that choice for yourself. Of course those specs are absurdly low, but Apple won't let you update really powerful hardware.
2FA is NOT used. You can lock a device with a passcode with only the iCloud password and it doesn't use 2FA to confirm it - because Apple assumes you probably have lost the device that provides that second authentication factor and that's why you're locking it.
Most of the attacks are based on password re-use, not password resets via email. A password reset could also be thwarted with two-factor authentication, but not this attack.
Where I live, the problem is simply way too much chlorine and far too high of mineral content. Even cold, it's not tasty. Thankfully, bottled is under 10 cents per half liter bottle in big packs.
Just like the oil companies...wanting to build yet another pipeline across our land. When that breaks down and spills out, they're going to have a real mess to clean up.
instant gratification in a brick and mortar store does not include the fact that they don't carry my size in clothes
And nothing online fixes that. In fact, it's become an excuse for stores to carry fewer sizes in-store. Trying on different sizes across a 2-3 day return shipping delay is way beyond "not instant gratification."
IIRC, standard PAL VHS tapes record video at 25Hz instead of 50fps, and in doing so, somehow merge two 50Hz interlaced frames into one 25Hz non-interlaced frame.
For movies, 24fps film is generally sped up to 25fps during the telecine process. While they could use basic frame doubling to get 50Hz out of it, it would be better to cram in extra vertical resolution from the film on the alternate field. I don't know which is standard.
Either way, that wouldn't apply for video/broadcast content or content generated by an actual SNES (which some of this is).
If someone has a 720p monitor, they will end up watching a down-scaled version of an up-scaled video..... but for some reason, his device insists on upscaling everything to 1080p.
He already said that he did this to get 50 fps (which doesn't make a lot of sense, because plenty of analog capture equipment can capture fields). And you can even see on Youtube that he gets a 1080p50 output in the end. Just saying 1080p typically means 1080p30. 1080p50 would be similar to 1080i50 but with some extra interpolation to fill in the rest of the resolution. Which is just a much bigger leap when VHS doesn't even carry a full 576 lines (or at least it's pretty lossy, noisewise).
This crazy amount of interpolation doesn't do much for video quality, but Youtube allocates way more bandwidth to high resolution video. If he did 576p50 or 576i, it would look far worse after Youtube compressed it - even if you viewed it at full-screen.

Of course, these tapes were promotional and probably not copy-protected and they were transferred and converted in the UK, where the DMCA would have no bearing.
Which has nothing to do with why he was going on about the refresh rate that I already got correct. Either is well beside the point that upscaling to 1080i is completely unnecessary during capture.
Considering he's using an HDMI upscaler just to get the framerate right, I'm not so sure it's a perfect setup. Though it might be a cheap trick that works well, I don't understand the advantage over capturing 480i video at 50Hz. Upscaling is really only going to help force Youtube to allocate a decent amount of bandwidth, but that can be done with a software scaler in post-processing.

"They" didn't say nothing about "internet speed".

Probably the fastest CPU they could get their hands on, to get the best numbers possible
Have you tried duct tape?
And PS, if you use the URL as a GUID, then it had better never ever change - not change every time the headline gets fixed.

Same here. A bit too much iron/rust and mineral, too.

You joke, but there are people on Amazon doing exactly that.

No, Internet of Stings
Taking someone you don't know, to a place you don't normally go - FOR MONEY - is a Taxi. period.
So when has a limo company ever been called a taxi service?
Cabs are regulated for driver and passenger safety.
Cabs are regulated to reduce traffic on the roads and increase the cost of entry to competitors.
To me, calling a private car company with a phone or contacting them with an app doesn't amount to a significant difference.
And that means they can just as well be classified as private hire - just more convenient than they used to be.
