As far as I know, youtube has always been pretty close to the top for free video streaming quality. Sites like facebook and such compress the video far more than youtube ever has. So yeah they were not the best video possible to create but

What makes you think they are not trying? Google is constantly working on their moderation AIs. Cracking down harder on spam unfortunately means a lot of legitimate content gets hurt in the process.

We may as well think of the spammers as their own ML whos aim and weighting is to fool the spam prevention. So as good as you make the spam AI, the spammer AI evolves to be better than it since they keep iterating until they find whatever f

Which isn't too expensive if you have paying customers. Doesn't make people angry when they are on data cap or trying to do something else on their network. Also doesn't have to deal with endless NAT and middlebox issues. But

I was using some unofficial packages since installing java on my system is difficult so I used the first flatpak and the first docker image I found on google and neither of them shipped an included browser and it seemed like the way was to

Most video calling platforms only expose you to the actual people you are calling which is generally a non issue. Torrents have a public list of all content and all hosts with what content they hold. This is required for peer discovery and

It's always been like that for me. Even the lowest quality videos struggle to play.

These days most video content would be consumed on mobile devices which are particularly bad for p2p tech.

Not that it seems to do much. Every time I have used it I have only been connected to the server peer. I doubt there are many people with an active tab open for a particular video.

by SilverRed 5y ago
In the video streaming world, yeah that is true. These platforms are not just hosts, they are discovery platforms and if there isn't any content to discover, it isn't a good platform.

The thing is that dns and static web servers are serving an absolutely minuscule amount of data while a single video on youtube is several GB in the higher qualities. No one can compete on video hosting because it is constantly at the upper

Everyone used to but almost no company does anymore. It's easier and more effective to just let each ISP cache the content of highly downloaded files.

What is the discard policy? If I upload 10TB of random junk, where does it go and how long will it be stored?

Can't just pin the blame on this on the public. These tools have a horrible UX problem. I tried to connect to freenet last year and I literally couldn't work it out. The GUI didn't make much sense, I couldn't work out wh

I used to have a weird .red domain and I always found it awkward to tell people. So I ended up going with firstname@lastname.me and literally no one has got it wrong or looked at me funny.

They spam from these weird TLDs because they often have really cheap deals like $1/year for the first registration so you can buy a load of them.

It's kind of a pain to use .com.au because you have to register an ABN and have a company / yourself be directly related to that name. So I can't just come up with any cool domain name I want and create a .com.au for myself w

by SilverRed 5y ago
I think the problem is that xyz was and maybe still is the cheapest TLD so it naturally attracts all the spammers.

The latest spam method right now is to get malware on to android phones and have the actual phones do the spamming. So if there is a cost, it gets applied to random people and not the spammers. Also if there was a cost per SMS on phones the

I think this mostly applies to TLDs with more than 3 letters. I have email on a .me and a .red and I have never had anything reject me.

They slowed down phones to prevent them from crashing on peak voltage. If you remember the android scene around the same time, the Nexus 6P would just crash constantly when the battery got degraded. If you asked the average user if they wou

Apple does battery replacements on them for a reasonable price. Might not be worth it for a phone that old. But it is nice that Apple keeps updating devices until virtually no one is using them anymore.

I had an issue with my pixel 2 where something must have shifted in the camera and every photo would blurry on the top half. Would have been fine to replace it myself but found out that you can not get new replacement parts for the pixel ph

Depends what the definition of high rise is I guess. I live in a 30 level building that I consider pretty high and it sits on the entire space of the block it is on with only walk ways between it and the next building. I'm more talking

It seems to be all the same story. People talk about these huge pays and guaranteed jobs but the average developer is already getting a huge pay and has no problems finding work. The pays for COBOL do not even look that compelling and you a

I recently has a pixel 2 die on me in a similar sounding way. Was working perfectly fine and then suddenly it won't turn on and won't take a charge. Tested with one of those usb tester things and it shows 0amp being drawn.

To be honest, I'm not sure what the appeal of mid height buildings are. They have all of the downsides of an apartment with none of the upsides of a high rise like better quality construction and better location. To find out what the q

That's just arguing on semantics and deliberately ignoring the context. No one is arguing that there is literally no land to put a single building on anywhere in the country. Obviously when people say land is scarce, they mean that the

The difference is that retail is split over many companies and there is good competition. You also have the option to open your own store to sell your products. You don't realistically have that option for phones. It's insane to r
