Do you have a source or are you flamebating[1]? The myriad of trash google results on the topic aren’t even close to 1 in 4. Even an Israeli tabloid says it’s 1 in 10. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

Yes and you or I could be prosecuted for doing so. Unless you were able to get some kind of special permission, like other well known hackers who worked with the FBI and CIA, acknowledging that stuff would be a deal breaker for regular empl

The plex app refuses to play 4K and says my connection is too low. Doesn’t matter if it’s wired or an ap 5 feet away, my iPhone gets almost 850mb down in the same room. If I play the 4K file directly from VLC I see absolutely 0 stuttering o

Why would you need onboard mobile? It’s 2 clicks to trigger a mobile hotspot from your iPhone and there are very cheap LTE dongles on eBay. Not sure how much service would cost, most of us have reasonable download caps on our mobile plans.
