maybe money has something to do with it, but the way the two websites are marketed/positioned definitely plays a role as well, as it creates a bias in the hosts. couchsurfing is marketed as "a great way to meet locals", as a

private trackers usually offer much faster release time than public trackers (shows are available less than a minute after pre on the good trackers, which often is about a few minutes after airing), have tons of good seeders so you can get

I've talked with them about their business, and seen their pitch, so I'll chime in a bit. > are they targeting media groups that might want on demand imagery of evolving news events? That is exactly one of their business plans.

the cheap 4k monitors @60hz are all (all the currently announced ones at least) TN panels though, so sure you get a cheap 4k monitor but color quality/viewing angles suffer as a result. coming from a IPS/PLS 1440p panel which i us

It's probably there for DO's sake. SSDs have limited rewrite cycles, and each secure wipe will definitely shorten the lifespan of the drive much more than a simple quick wipe. This translates into cost savings.
