Born 1983, He/him, Danish AuDD introvert that’s surfed the internet since he was a tween.
Siemens made knockoff Nokia phones? I trust Siemens a lot, they’re a quality manufacturer, but I don’t think I ever saw anyone use a Siemens back in the pre-smart phone days.
From wikipedia:
The phone included a WAP browser and two games: Stack Attack and Balloon Shooter.
WAP browser you say…
It’s just a tad bit passive aggressive.
at least half of it doesn’t involve cops.
I like how safe you’re playing that estimate 😂
That’s one (of many) reason I’m glad I switched to linux, Back in windows xp days Microsoft tried limiting the amount of “half-open connections” for its users “security”. But even today, some routers just aren’t powerful enough to handle too many connections, and often times the cheap routers that ISP’s provide are limited on purpose either by custom firmware or just by hardware limitations.
Yeah, they are messy. I tried BiglyBT a few years back, and while I love a lot of features, I think that was overkill for sure. qBittorrent is the golden standard at the moment for sure.
Yeah, I’m aware of that. And if I liked copoganda I’d be swimming in shows. That’s just getting older I guess.
Back when I had VDSL and even ADSL, I’d try to hit 1.1 ratio because if everyone did that the risk of information being lost would be close to 0%. Nowadays with gigabit internet, all that prevents me from seeding is hard drive space, and 8 TB doesn’t fill up quickly with how few good movies and series there are these days. I guess that’s one way to stop piracy, just make fewer and worse series/movies.

EDIT: a few disagreed, at least with their votes, but you don’t see this military obsession anywhere else, except perhaps North Korea.
EDIT2: I find it funny that I’ve gone from -2 to -5 and still nobody has written a reply explaining exactly what I’ve said is “wrong”. The thing is that I think I’m right, and unless someone else explains why I’m wrong, that’s not going to change anything! USA is a joke! Just like North Korea! Just like any authoritarian country! And in case you were on the fence: FUCK THE POLICE!
Maybe the fashion was different based on country, because like I mentioned, in Denmark Nokia was definitely more widespread until the colour screens pre-smart phone era came along.
