I have 15Mb century link DSL
That is fast enough for two 1080p streams, they are usually around 5Mb.
It is fast enough for 4k at 9,11 and sometimes 15Mb
What hurts most is the 896Kb upstream, I turn off wifi anytime I'm sending a photo message from my phone.
I used to have 150Mb/10Mb from cox but when the price broke $100 around the same they instituted overage charges I switched to $45 dsl. Yes the upload sucks, but otherwise I don't even notice it most of the time and it has been reliable this past year. Giving cox the middle finger more than makes up for the reduced speeds.
I'm still mad at them for purchasing Body Media, they used to make the body bugg fitness trackers. After the buyout they did nothing with the technology they acquired and then shuttered Body Media and the service needed for the old devices to work.
I have cox in Phoenix and have IPv6.
The modem will say that even if IPv6 is working. That message is related to how cox manages the modem, it has no impact on bridging IPv6 to your router. You also have to make sure your router is configured to pull IPv6 the way cox wants or it won't work. (It's been a year since I got it working and don't remember the specifics now).
I don't even look at my news feed anymore, nothing but spam. It tends to show me links to things rather than the user generated content that I want to see. I think the same happens in reverse, I rarely post because my posts are making it to my friends news feeds.
I configured facebook to add notifications for a handful of friends and family members that I want to see posts from.
Once or twice a week I skim the facebook notifications page, ignore anything that says "shared", open the few "updates" and then I'm out of there.
I think the social network is dead, and there seems to be nothing else out there to take its place. And even if there was, everyone over 20 is only on facebook.
This is because congress got to pick and they picked 8-VSB because it was owned by Zenith, then an American company but now owned by LG.
The other reason I've heard was because 8-VSB has better range than COFDM. So it works better at the farm house out in the boondocks where the house probably has satellite tv and doesn't work well in the city, where people actually are, because it doesn't handle multipath well,
And we were early enough to standardize over the air on MPEG2 while countries converting later settled on the more efficient MPEG4
DirecTV is another example, they predated the DVB standards and use something proprietary (was once called DSS)
Until the dock jammed and you couldn't eject your laptop. Everyone I knew with a Duo Dock (all of 2 people) had to take their dock apart at least once to get the laptop out.
I used to have that phone, for me it wasn't the touch screen that would wake the phone but the giant home button under the screen. I traded it for a Nexus 6 the day it was an option on Verizon.
So two stations that were previously using 6 MHz bandwidth each, will now share one channel, presumably using 3 MHz each.... and so each will have a 50% drop in picture quality. How is this a good thing for the consumer?
They are sharing 19MB data stream, it means dropping PQ or Sub channels or both
When I was in high school we were told to buy a specific model TI ( I don't remember the number) because thats what the teachers knew how to use. If you were the kid who bought the cheaper Casio with more features and a color screen you were on your own to figure out how to use it.
A lot of people haven't learned to look at total cost when making a purchase. They look to see if they can afford the monthly payment and stop there. You see the same thing when people buy a house or a car.
I'm surprised Apple caved on this one, I don't think they were in the wrong. $22.99 / 8 is about $2.87 per episode. That is pretty much the going rate.
On Amazon a season pass just buys each episode as they are released. The price is the same as everywhere else but I think its more clear. The plus to amazon is if the season you subscribed to starts to suck you can just cancel the season pass and cut your losses.

My understanding is the problem is there is no linux driver for the apple SSD. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/sh...

European credit cards have chip+PIN, so the number alone is not enough to steal money like it is in America.
you would also need the chip, not just the number for card present purchases, that is the whole point

I made the same move, the camera and screen on the note3 were nicer than the 6 but I hated so much else about that phone.
Hangouts still works with pidgin
Nexus 7 2012 and Nexus 4 are not getting security patches, look at the official image build versions, they are not current for lollipop.

For me this is better because now I can share amazon prime videos and kindle books with my household without having to share accounts.
I personally prefer the Fahrenheit scale for weather temps since the scale is wider than Celsius.
T-Mobile supports IPv6, so I use IPv6 on my phone. Cox doesn't so I can't use it with the devices that generate the most traffic.

I bet they do this to avoid paying licensing fees on unused tuners since most people hook their tv up to some sort of set top box.

I saw and liked Lone Ranger based on the trailer, none of the others looked worth watching to me.
It's because they couldn't show they were being harmed so they didn't have any standing to appeal.
CDMA phones have to be activated so I would think they just won't activate them.
I think more people watch OTA than it gets credit for
