  • 5G is super fast, and wow you Romanians are lucky. But here in America ISPs are grinches who charge you 49.99 for the first year and then increase your price to $80, which is a whole 60% mark-up. So before 5G home Internet was a thing, you only had one provider in the area you lived, and this lack of competition basically allowed them to price gouge us over the years till our bill got to $220 for 100mb. 5G was truly a life saver for my families budget. And you are right about cable Internet being more performant, but 5G did introduce some very much needed competition in the telecommunications space.

  • I used to have several outages per year with fiber internet. In the year and a half I've had 5G home Internet not a single outage. But you are able to get much higher speeds with fiber, so if you had some kind of business that needed like 10 gig speeds, fibers the best choice for that. But for home Internet 5G is much more superior in reliability, and fairness in pricing for the consumer.

  • The funny part is he started working for a venture capital firm (Searchlight) after he left office that invested heavily in various isps and telcos. It's like American politicians invented the most advanced bribery system and no one even blinks an eye, this is just disgusting.

  • Remote government employees and contractors are required to use a vpn to connect to their work network. Any tech savvy business is using vpns to secure their remote employees work.

    I don't know what greedy idiot came up with this bill or is lobbying for it but the only ones with vested interest in violating your privacy like this is maybe big tech and isps.

  • Unlimited Internet is a thing now, I pay $50 a month for 5G home Internet. I'm guessing you have one of those dinosaur fiber internet where a technician has to come to your house to install internet.

  • Arch Linux based distros (arco, Manjaro, endeavor) have my favorite package manager in the world (not pacman) but yay. I've tried every package manager and for me nothing comes close to yay. But the sad part is arch updates have completely destroyed every arch based distro I've ever had. The last one (endeavor os) literally made me hate Linux for awhile, because I put a great deal of work and love into setting up a desktop environment, configuring the hell out of my terminal and my dev environment and one update just destroyed my whole desktop. It takes me more than 2 days to completely get my Linux desktop configured to where I like it, and endeavoros just breaking my desktop environment really demoralized me from trying to set up another Linux box again for a long time, so I just went back to my super stable MacBook that wasn't as fun or ergonomic but at the end of the day it's never given me serious issues. Of course I'm back to using Linux, this time with stable old Ubuntu.

  • I've already seen it happen with a company creating an account to plug their meal plan site, same thing that has been happening on reddit since it started. Just don't trust any account thats trying to sell you something.
