    you might be a toll, but instead of moding you as such, I'll give you the benefit of doubt and instead ask you a question: How is this trump rant even remotely related to a windows 0-DAY bug?

  5. You are right and the autocorrect was on Norwegian, so that did not help thing, this is not an excuse but a rather poor attempt at an explanation. Oh well 1:40 AM time to stop posting and get some sleep

    However I acgree complitly with the undelyibg problem here, datacaps on hone broadband, fortunaty thet pratice never got started here in Norway, but I syperhise with people having to deal with that crap).

    Yes, but they should be able to bill some or all of the data usage osts related to the humanitarian work to the organization they do the conference for. If the isp starts charging differently depending on 3.d party service consuming the data we open a whole can of worms.

    I might be an idiot, but the only way I found to wxrsnd a trunk ro a machine running Windows 10pro was to install the whole hyper v component, plese tell me I,m doing it wrong, thish shuld realy not be needed, or is this a case of ms deciding that vlan trunking is not needed unless you virtualize?

  13. Yes but would you still get 60+fps in 4k (numbers made up), here is the thing compared to CPU and gpu storrage is relatively cheap and with ssds fast enugh to not be a major pitam so the fame deva trade storrage for performance, is this right or wrong? Not shore, what do you think? I agree that the initial download of 80GB is a rather boring process (esp if you are stuck on a pipe that is nerrower than it should be)

    Huh, I feel like an idiot right now, arn’t timlenes chronolgicsl or invese chronological by the nature of tjem beeing timelines?

  16. That of course depends on regulation, love it or hate it, I’ll take norway as an example, we have caps on how much carriers are alowed to charge other carriers for terminating calls in their networks.andbeond that any land line callers are not alowed to be charged at a different rate (at same time of day etc) unless ofc they are premium rate services continently grouped under the 82n nn nnn series of numbers or are 5 dodger numbers starting with 0 (In Norway we dial the full number regardless of whether it’s a local or long dustance call so the 0 has no adittional function unless you are behind a PABX). I don’t know if I’m biased but As a consumer I find this system both convenient and fair. Ps within the 82 series of numbers there are further sub divisions according to price tiers, but this details or grneraly not remembered by anyone unless they have been burned in the past and ar allso of rather less interest in the context of this discussion. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment, have a nice day

  17. Calling party pays does nor work in NAN countries as cell phones (as far as I know) just gets assigned the nex free number in a local prefix, so the caller has no idea (without additional information) if the number beeing dialed is a land lane Oe a cell phone charging more for calls to cellphones would thus just confuse people. Now lokk st Norway ( I picked norway pecsuse I live here and know how to recognise a cell number here) If the the number starts it 4 or 9 followed by 7 digits it is a cell number and is charged accordingly.Come to think of it we have another way of identifying how the number is terminated and thus charged,but this requires the person writing the number down/ outing it in lrintined material to actually follow a standard so it is unreliable, a cellphone nomen is printed as NNN NN NNN and land line numers are printed 2 did gets at a time

  18. I’m going to assume that you are not trolling. FTP is a protocol for file transfers (unencrypted if you are not doing frp over tls) it has fallen out of fever lately due to restrictive firewalls usualy blocking it so it is often more convenient (at least for downloads) to just having them on a web server.

    Oh yes banwith caps, I’m not shore but it seems to me rhat usage caps on anuthing but mobile bradband is prty much a US only thing, I might be wrong so pleace correct me if I am. The cloud thing from plex was probably meant to combat the ofte low upload speeds of home broadband (DSL if you live more than a few hundred eters from the CO or are on cable, hell even some fiber isps). But I suspect that oeople thst sourced ther media from questionable sources did not want to upload it incase RIAA etc raded the plex dc.

    Yea an even better ecsampl is The dutch sattelitebtv peovider Canal Digitaal Canaldigitaal.nl dumps you into ther reseller portal which us rather usless for anyone not a reseller, wheras www.canaldigitaal.nl gets you their list of pagages and other info relevant to coustomers. What genius decided this was a good idea? So hiding the www is probably not a good idea, alltho this is probably more on canal digitaals head, but still it illustrates the possible errors that comes from stripping out arbitrary parts of the fqdn

  23. As much as I disslike dissagreeing with you, no, the simplest technology(from the users prospective) for voice communication anyway, was the old landline with a harwiered tekephone and here is why,: you needed exactly one pece of info for contacting snyone, their phone number, Ok things cot a bit more complex when they lived in another country, then yo had to find the prefix for their country and the internationale prefix that your countrys pstn used to indicate an international call, but once you had the full seqence of numbers, it was just pick up, dial, and if the person at the other end answered you had a full duplex connection, no updates, no codects, no insificiant bandwith, no firewalls, etc
    Now unfortunatly you have the chance that any random network isue or config missmatch or version missmathcan hamper things. Yes the”automagic” usualy works, but when it does not you quicly end up down a rabit hole or just giving up( depends muckh of the oerson st the other end). DoI miss the old land line? Hell no, but then again most if not all the people i communicate with regulary have decent to supurb internett connections and up to date sw, and .. oh, we don’t use skype ... never mind Hmmthis turned into a rant, that was not the intent, but the day has benn rather long and kess than optimal, o sadly I don’t have the energy to rephrase it
