Very useful little utility. I've used it to install SmartTube on my Chromecast with Google TV and previously to tinker with a Beelink box running Android.

SmartTube (for Google/Android TV) used to allow this but a recent update has removed the other speed increments and it now only lets you use the usual increments you find on YouTube. :(

What's wrong with Transmission? I haven't used it recently but it seemed more than competent enough when I did.

> Do you realize you're writing this on a thread about how the latest version of qBittorrent got crappy? It's one issue which will likely be addressed in the near future. You're blowing it out of proportion.

You must not have strayed far from the crappy clients of old then. The latest stable Windows x64 build of qBittorrent is 27.9 MB ( https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent.html ). Older versions fluctuate between 18MB and ~29 MB (

Exactly. The original article's "WHY"'s are narrow sighted and only focusing on energy efficiency. There's a whole load of other factors that led to the more popular fridge design and thinking about it for just one

Not a risk for laptops. I just wanted to chime in since phones are commonly used for 2FA. Apple completely replaced one of my older phones when I took it in for a battery replacement because a previous "unapproved" third party bat

If you use an authenticator app on your phone for 2FA codes make sure you have backup codes for all your accounts.

You are looking at this issue one-dimensionally. It is very easy to criticise given that we now know what the impacts of deforestation are a lot better than we did a century or three ago.

Why AWS? How about we start building services that work anywhere instead of targeting a platform owned by a company that avoids paying billions in taxes? Edit - I'll leave my original comment up but I originally thought this was a serv

I'm not familiar with the specs but your question implies that each spec is independent of the others whereas I would assume that e.g. if you support HTTP/3 then you inherently support all previous specs too.

Same. I use Lockwise on iOS. The tone of the email I've just received about this from Mozilla makes it sound as if they've done something wonderful and they're giving themselves a pat on the back which is even more maddening.
