Yeah, I hear that’s a thing now. People these days.

What a unique and special position to be in.

It’s not common, and not likely to happen again.

Does this mean android auto won’t be slow in the future?

Grey kitties! 😍

Sadly it’s like that because the money people A/B test things to make the numbers go up.

Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement

When Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement is enabled, Safari will provide websites with attribution reports to help websites and advertisers attribute the viewing of and clicking on ads, while still preserving your privacy. Safari will send attribution reports with limited data in a dedicated mode using IP address protection, no data storage, without any cookies, and delayed randomly between 24 and 48 hours. The attribution reports do not contain any personal data.

You can disable Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement at any time by going to Settings > Safari, then tapping to turn off Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement.

I’m pretty sure they are, until a court capriciously decides otherwise.

What?

I have gigabit, and struggled to stream. Turned out I had the Quality of Service (QoS) /traffic priority settings on my router misconfigured.

This might be something to look into.

Can a remote user download something from your network at a reasonable and consistent speed? (Not using Plex)

Can you upload a large file somewhere and monitor the speed and see if it maintains speed as expected?

For me, these two things were also performing at unexpectedly low speeds, or being wildly inconsistent until I fixed my QoS settings.

That was mostly my joke.

Part of my joke was also that comparing one platform to another like this wouldn’t be a direct/good comparison.

Now do Safari.

What sort of deceptive marketing are we talking about?

It’s a bummer that hard drives are priced this way. It’s been common for a few decades now.

I assume they are doing checks of other things. Local software is not the same as a web service that is checking your IP for your location.

They could use location services, your registration country for your Apple ID, the sale location of your device, and other things. They could even aggregate indicators and use that.

Very pretty grey cat.

That’s a wild list of words you got there.

Huh, that’s unintuitive to me. I remember people talking about too many hard drives in a case using too much power before. Overloading it, etc. 1-2W each would not overload a normal power supply. 🤔

Did hard drives just quietly get super efficient when I wasn’t paying attention? Or is something else going over my head here?

I think if that caught on then companies would call it undue burden to sift through all the dependencies they use to make such small payments.

It is a difficult problem. But on the face of it your suggestion seems very reasonable.
