  1. It's Amazon and Netflix's fault you can only watch one thing at a time? Try evolution, buddy. Two eyes, two ears, one brain. You can try and watch both at the same time, but it's going to suck.

  2. That takes away the incentive to create more content. If I bought the content, I'm going to milk that shit to death. Creators go broke.

  3. I know some content is paid by streams per month, but don't know about this. So there's probably pennies not being kicked back to the OTNB owners.

    Are you fucking nuts? Embedded devices don't have the processing power or memory to have 60k line hosts files. Jesus Christ, you are fucking deaf and dumb. If you fairly promoted the pros and cons of the hosts file method, most people wouldn't care about your spam. But you are frequently, at best misleading, at worst, outright WRONG. You never respond to valid technical concerns, just spam with people's comments about using your application; like we give a fuck what joe fucking nobody said in a comment without context/review. Stop fucking spamming. /. , please get an ignore option.

    Imitation? You might want to look up the meaning as you don't seem to know what it means. You did not come up with the idea of a hosts file. You are not the first to use the hosts file. You are not even the first person to aggregate block lists into a single block list. You've made nothing original. You made a Windows list aggregator. That is all. If anything, you've flattered the thousands who've made scripts to do this already.

    Securing your device is almost always the responsibility of the user and not the vendor. They have no control how the user uses it.

    Wow! These bots check warranty periods and leave alone expired warranty devices? Cool! This reminds me when NDS/Directv would do ecm's on satellite pirates. They thought it was hurting the pirate dealers economically, but it just enriched them because they'd charge for the fix. Saying this will cause financial damage to mfg's and cause change shows how little you know. This is just time and cost to the end users.

    Say the transmitter has a 6 dBi antenna and the receiver measures -60dBm RSSI. Change the antenna to 9dBi and RSSI increases to -57dBm with the same 1/2W radio signal. Isn't this more power received from increased spectral density?

    The blue screen tells you the problem and there's a log. Do some basic troubleshooting for fuck sakes. Most likely, you have bad hardware.

  21. How is that a SUPER good idea? There's far more paid hardware testing on Windows platform than Ubuntu. If anything, Ubuntu has been using the unpaid users to test and fix their own hardware than Microsoft.

  22. Don't be retarded. Linux updates from one major release to another often requires reinstall. At least on EVERY Ubuntu server we ever installed at work. My home machine went from 7 to 8 to 8.1 to 10 and the only broken thing is my File Explorer pin list (some permission shit). No reinstall. Whereas Mint failed to install on a Dell laptop because an ntp server went off line part way through install. That was fucking retarded. That same laptop failed to install lxle with unhelpful crash. Next version installed correctly, but after 15 minutes of idle, the screen shits the bed and needs reboot. No issues with Windows on it. You can say you have less problems, but to say no problems in 15 years, you have no credibility.

    Ugh, what? The CIA is clearly a more offensive organization than the NSA. You don't hear about foreign entities complaining about NSA in their politics, they complain about the CIA. Colombia, Egypt, Syria, etc. All of these NSA programs are about extraction without detection. They're not trying to brick your device or leave a sign of being there.
