At last check Hurricane Electric and Level 3 were not playing nice and refused to exchange ipv6 traffic. Unless that has changed it should influence your choice.
If open a bunch of videos in tabs to view sequentially, the tabs that have been sitting untouched the longest apparently lose their sessions to expiry so you have to reload that video page. Otherwise I have not experienced what you describe.
I'm aware of resellers. I asked the question since AC could not be bothered to post the name of the carrier while he was typing his message. More information is better than less.
Google started the Android project by offering 3 options to carriers, the most popular being that the carrier could control almost all of the "user experience". If they had chosen the option to keep it close to "pure" Android then they could easily have pushed out updates, but you know what control freaks the carriers like to be. Google had to make it palatable to the carriers to get in the game and that history led us to where we are now.
My gripe is that Google wants to be enough like Apple to charge an arm and a leg for a mobile computer without the accompanying ecosystem that Apple has developed. That's some pretty big cojones, even for Google.
I'm seriously considering just backing down to a mid-range Android phone as others in this thread have discussed. The Pixel is just too much money for something with forced obsolescence. I've got an ancient Samsung here now, but I'm scared of their new rush to market approach burning me in my pocket in more ways than one!
That's exactly what a tired/disgruntled operator at AOL did many years ago, I believe at their data center in Japan. Wherever it was, it affected a very important system that took them down in a pretty broad geographic area for something like 2 or 3 days. It was a big deal.
Have you ever stood there holding the door open in freezing weather while the cat sticks its head out for HOURS deciding whether to go all the way out or not???
Cookie Controller seems to be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too complex for what it provides, yet if it doesn't allow me finer control over the setting of cookies in the first place I'm not sure it's worth it.
I guess Mozilla is in cahoots with advertisers these days. YOU MUST ACCEPT COOKIES. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
I am suspicious of the notion that "The Cloud" is automatically superior in every way. I've seen the arguments that cloud services typically have high availability, are managed by smart teams, are accessible from everywhere. But the people saying this are likely IT pros doing the grunt work.
I don't trust the company itself not to get sold and change the terms of service, go POOF!, or turn back every single cracking attempt (the bad guys only need to succeed ONCE). If I host my own password manager it is entirely up to me and I present a much smaller attack surface compared to a centralized repository sitting on the open internet.
Additionally, the code is typically the minimum standard to meet. I know a guy who was a certified electrician who added a room to his house and wired it himself. The inspector failed him because it didn't meet code--because it greatly exceeded code and the inspector didn't recognize it.
What did the public at large gain from what Congress gave in the first place by extending the term? Did Congress create value out of thin air by extending it? If so, then that is the creation effectively of the People.
What government giveth, the government taketh away.
Yep. FreeSWITCH uses SQLite as its default database and is fine for low to moderate loads. Anything serious requires something like Postgres, which it also handles.
Firefox somewhere back in the low- to mid-40 version nummers eliminated the option to ask the user for each new cookie that sites try to set. This was valuable to anal-retentive users like me who could allow the target site and maybe its CDN to set cookies, but BIGINVASIVEADS.COM and TRACKYOUREVERYMOVE.NET would get nada.
Remember when these were the upstart, alternative browsers out to help the little guy?

If you wouldn't download it, how in the world could you possibly watch it after you had bought it??

From which carrier??
You're comparing Apples to asteroids.

Will the next Pixel also include the random reboot feature?
Frankly I'm surprised that Google is sticking with a product this long. They typically get bored with projects and abandon them by this time.

The Borg queen gave Data a patch of real skin and we saw how that worked out.
As soon as NoScript stops working I will stop using Firefox. There's little else to keep me using this slug.
Given the prevalence of humans using 123456 as a "password"
That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!

Cruelty, my ASS!
I wonder how much of this can be blamed on Buffer Bloat?
Sadly, nope.

Sometimes you just can't win.

SMS is almost as insecure as Facebook itself.
It means that if somebody hacks your Facebook account, now they have access to all your accounts (yikes)
For similar reasons, I'm still not sold on the idea of cloud-based password managers. That seems like a problem just waiting to happen.

Why would Amazon want anything that impedes the flow of money into their coffers??
I'm so old I remember when hardware came with schematics.
Kids today, thinking they're inventing a new concept!
