Welcome to the concept of inequality. Most people in the world don't have the access to internet you have. And I would imagine some would say "Holy shit. You people browse message boards? I would rather spend that time on a MOOC&q

While a lot of what you say is true, I think a big factor which isn't overlooked but under accounted for is the worker wage/culture situation. Employee relations get much easier when employees don't have much else choice. As

I realize people's opinions differ on this, but having Google's wifi router is one of the most privacy compromising things one can do. Security wise, sure, great idea. But there's so much data to collect at the router level.

Also I think it is 138 B, not kilobytes since that would be 2.3GB/day. Whoops. Made it to the front page of HN with so many mistakes. EDIT: Since there seems to be interest in this let's do the test: 5 DNS requests + 1 NTP update

Tomato, DD-WRT, etc. try to be extremely user friendly. Not that LEDE doesn't, but people who have some technical expertise tend to benefit a lot more from LEDE with all their packages. Especially if you can compile an image yourself (

Is that such a bad thing? Any game dev that's not going to use Vulkan will use a game engine, which will pretty much handle vulkan for them. I'm excited because Vulkan support will mean better GPU compute support across platforms.
