    Or because in this case the news site is exempted from the law, which is why you should be on Google's side here.

    And this is why the court case is not against the news site itself. Just a loophole to try to get around that.

    The fact that Google claims it doesn't make editorial judgments is irrelevant.

    The news source has already done that. Google is just a link in the chain of that news source's own journalistic rights.

    Lots of companies gave one-time bonuses to employees, while themselves getting a year-after-year benefit. They probably see this as a bribe to employees to convince them that the tax cuts are what they want too.

    If you're getting 40% packet loss, the ping times would be higher or intermittent. It's still a better metric for the end user for DNS than bandwidth.

    Sure, typically fast link means something else - but we have context here.

    Considering they're just dealing with loud fans, it's a better situation already. The fact is, you can buy heat sensors on eBay for under $5 if it's really worth it to you.

    you have to bypass and screw around with something that shouldn't be broken in the first place?

    Because other brands of computer never have failing components out of warranty? Because this computer has heat sensors beyond what typical PCs have, so there's more to fail? I'm not a huge Mac fan, but that's a bit of a stretch of an argument.

    More likely the dead end has already happened. Just look at the specs of the current model. Next one is probably the first of its kind with A-series. One brand new high-end A-series core paired with a lower power core to switch to when idle.

    There are great apps for fan control on the Mac that bypass the normal sensor info. I would be a lot more helpful if I could remember any of them. It might be Fan Control, but I'm not sure: https://www.lifewire.com/macs-...

    Well yeah, but that is what makes it a fast link. I haven't tested performance on Google's DNS lately, but Cloudflare might be worth trying out for DNS even if it's a potentially unroutable IP from some places.

    Maybe your ISP just doesn't route the traffic. That's a fast link. Though Google DNS is 15ms from here.

    Sounds like the Beta Testers either didn't report this to Apple, or didn't encounter the failure.

    And that nobody at DisplayLink was tasked with bothering to test the pre-release of the OS. This is something that vendors do when OS updates come out - especially with ones known to contain updates specific to their area.
