Explained in layman's terms, "this may allow an attacker to utilize operating system APIs to gain access to sensitive memory information or control low-level operating system functions."
@msmash: I, for one, laud your biddable rectitude anent proffering pleonasm-eschewing elucidationary paraphrasing. Kudos!
I will not be surprised to learn someone actually already has posted it, and that my searches on/. are no more efficient than those I make on wikipedia.
Many devices allow you to check your connection speed within the Netflix app. (I would presume HBONow offers a similar utility.) The Netflix Page explaining how to do this is here: https://help.netflix.com/en/no....
On the same Netflix page are their internet download speed recommendations for playing TV shows and movies:
0.5 Megabits per second - Required broadband connection speed
1.5 Megabits per second - Recommended broadband connection speed
3.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for SD quality
5.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for HD quality
25 Megabits per second - Recommended for Ultra HD quality
Remember that these figures are per stream, so concurrent streaming to multiple devices is bandwidth additive.
I'd say that in five years or so from now, we'll read a Slashdot story describing the inverse of this behavior:
"Due to the behind-the-counter proliferation of robotics in the fast food industry, most people no longer think to say, 'Thank you' on those occasions where they have been served their food by an actual live human."
