  • The only regret i have is that i haven’t switched earlier.

    Seems like everyone who successfully switches, has this regret.

  • In my case, the Ethernet wasn't working either.
    So I had to log into Windows, to try and find out the correct downloads. Failed that too.

  • Also ~100Mb/s is in no way the average speed in an Indian household.

    You're right. It's not.

    I also don’t see any specific mentions of india in your link up there to that random site.

    I don't see any either. Guess why. Because it only has the top 10, further emphasising the point that :

    the average Indian is not doing “Hella fast Tokyo banddrifts”

  • So same old broadcast thing, but with internet, a framework designed to send a different data to each user.
    Meaning you will be wasting way more energy with the same stream going in different packets to people.

    Sure, that would definitely be cheaper.

  • And Japan has a 300+ Tb/s connection. Your point?
    My point is that the average Indian is not doing "Hella fast Tokyo banddrifts" (not sure what banddrift even means, but no).

    And yes, a 1Gb/s connection is theoretically available, but how many people are using the ~₹4000/month connection?

    Considering how many people tend to just not have Broadband at home, relying just on mobile internet, we can see how things compare with others.

    Also, to point to the tread starter, most of the "thousands of" cables that you see on poles in congested areas, are just abandoned cables from older installations which nobody cared to remove.

  • those wizards must be streaming some Hella fast Tokyo banddrifts with all them wires.

    That part is wrong for India, at least.
    Here's a random site with some stats
    India, you can expect ~100Mb/s with FTTH and 50Mb/s otherwise. Reliability is even worse.

    Rest is right.

  • Please do educate me on as to how to get Unreal Engine 4 as a "plugin" (of what?) without building it.

    The only ways I see to get UE4 on Linux is to install the AUR, which compiles from source, or Compile it with your own settings from the GitHub project.

  • They forgot that heart transplant requires replacing the removed heart with another one and then connecting the blood vessels before closing up.

    You can't just take it out and say "I'll put in another one after dinner"

  • The reason is tradition.
    Because they got money in turn for publishing and distributing the books in the past, now they want to continue getting exorbitant fees even though they are not providing any real value any-more.

  • "Why" is a kind of question that is answered with stuff like, "Because

    <object>

    exists!"

  • When you want students to not use calculators but still rate a question for 10 second answer.

  • It's not the result, but the process.

    You can teach ppl stuff all you want, but what they really need, is to learn how to figure it out themselves. Otherwise, when the best practices you teach them become obsolete, they won't be able to create their own.

  • Here's a way to increase the bugs in your computer.

  • Is there anyone other than me who read reflog as re-flog the first time?

  • All we need is a single universal Space-Time map that will tell the time (in any and all formats) at any point in space, taking into consideration, all the events caused by all the forces that cause existence, from the start of this universe. Then it can take the place of both, maps and clocks.

    Just make sure it is memory safe. Oh and properly escape all queries. And also ...

    That should last us until we start exploring the space outside the universe.

  • I feel like this could be a scene in Rick and Morty, with someone commenting, "Guess their Math was off"
