It's extremely common for ISPs to block inbound packets with a destination port of 80, 443, 25, etc. Of course they don't block them outgoing (with the exception of port 25 commonly). He didn't "imagine" anything an

If you're trimming an entire device rather than just blkdiscard as mentioned elsewhere you can just issue a secure erase which will restore speed to basically the same as it was out of the box. If you just want to wipe one single parti

One of the best GDQ runs I've ever seen was one of the FFVII speed runs. This is a game that normally takes like 50 hours to complete start to finish. The RNG of the game is able to be manipulated by keeping the number of steps taken b

It's not really all that conducive to starting and stopping depending on energy prices. We already have that same capability with Aluminum and I've never heard of any Aluminum plant shutting down during the day and picking back up

Look for the one SSID that is unaffected and I'd bet you'd find the culprit. It's possible that someone set it up solely to screw up WiFi for everyone else but I'd bet money that the reason why they did that is specifica

Yeah I really don't get how we're supposed to interpret "50% lower". Intelligence is barely ordinal to begin with. Also ventilation when done properly isn't just some fixed rate, we already target air changes per ho

You get the same problem with old headlights as well when cresting a hill or headlights that aren't properly adjusted. Believe it or not but the difference between high and low beams is a bit more literal than it might seem. High beams
