It does not. The Allow pairing with non-Configurator hosts requires that the device be supervised.

What made me laugh the most was when Comcast posted about a peering dispute with Level3[0] >Q8: Comcast says that Level 3 sends it 5 times the traffic that Comcast sends Level 3. Is that true? If it is true, why shouldn't Level 3 pa

It's actually much worse than that. Without any kind of ad blocking or privacy extensions, 2 minutes after loading the page, it has made 770 HTTP requests and used 18.5 MB of data. Is this becoming the industry standard now for blogs a

Things like POS terminals and ATMs usually use Windows XP Embedded (if they're on XP at all). XP Embedded is still under support until July 12, 2016. However, even if these systems are, for whatever reason, running a consumer version o

Previously Comcast argued that, I believe it was Level 3, was "pushing 5 times more data onto their network than Comcast was pushing onto theirs" This made me laugh seeing as every one of Comcast's customer ISP packages have

Bad idea. Then anyone who accesses it over HTTPS won't be able to use HTTP anymore and HTTPS requires a paid plan of some sort. Ideally they should be on separate domains, at which point HSTS would be more suited.

Akamai and Google already do this. When you're pushing terrabits per second of data onto an ISP's network they usually agree to do something like this. It's a win for everyone. ISP has to peer less traffic, customers get a fa

BGP path selection does not route based on link utilization. What you define as a "non optimal route" isn't what BGP defines as a non optimal route. An ISP can't just send all their customer traffic through any foreign n

An alarming number of people don't seem to understand the different between throttling and congestion. Comcast does not participate in Netflix's OpenConnect project. If Comcast wanted to, they could receive a 4U server from Netfli

by RKearney 13y ago
It should be noted that having a Netflix OpenConnect Hardware Appliance is 100% free of charge for ISPs. The device itself is free, but I suppose you could factor in the cost to power the 4U server and the rack space used by it but those co

Thanks for all these suggestions. I was able to implement all of them except for oscp stapling due to our version of nginx not supporting it. Once that gets upgraded that can be implemented too.

My guess is because latency is not relevant when it comes to streaming videos from Netflix. A consumer will not be able to notice their video took 40 milliseconds longer to start streaming. They will, however, notice when the video stops to

Are you seriously comparing the version numbers of two completely different applications? That's like saying Apache is twice as good as Nginx because Apache is on version 2.4 and Nginx is only on 1.5.

It's not just about translating instructions. Console games are extremely optimized and fine tuned for the processor they run on. A block of 40 PowerPC instructions may take 40 clock cycles to run on a PowerPC Processor, but 120 clock

This is correct. Browsers will not send the referrer header when moving from HTTPS to HTTP URIs. This can easily be solved by just converting your website to HTTPS only at which point search engines will index your HTTPS URLs and you will b

My 27" iMac can run in 1280x720 "HiDPI Mode", which is just the native resolution of 2560x1440 cut in half (quarters?). It's a native feature in OS X, although it has to be enabled manually before it shows up.
