Funny they discontinued the Bronco after the associated bad press only to call it’s replacement the Escape!

Sandvine uses pattern recognition primarily. VPN doesn’t matter. It still gets categorized correctly.

I believe the low seed counts are due to the absolute trash out there. Actual good shows and movies are still strong. Niche items have always been hard to find. But we’re saturated with garbage entertainment these days. No one really cares to seed what they watch once and then never think about again.

First, sandvine calls it an app for legacy reasons, but 100% that is the bit torrent protocol. I have insider knowledge that this is the case. So don’t get hung up on that. But you’re right to doubt them. They are a shell of what they once were. Their fixed deployments are quite small now and do not represent fiber at all, which just hit over 50% in availability in dense US areas. Sandvine is still in Comcast at 100% coverage and in Cox, but they’re tiny. Sandvine is a bit sparse in mobile, but still there solidly. I believe that bit torrent is rare in mobile. Like no shit. I believe them that it’s down in fixed copper (dsl and cable). But they’re missing 100% of fiber. Sandvine does pattern recognition primarily. It used to be great. I suspect it’s still pretty good. They claim better than 90% accuracy. I’m sure the data they have is correct. But what they get from their customers is definitely questionable at times. They’ve made some huge mistakes in the past, grabbing data for too short a period of time or not across a broad enough customer base. I’m sure that’s still the case. What we need is someone like Kentik, Deepfield, and anyone else doing flow correlation to release a report. But they won’t because no company gives away that kind of data anymore. So we’re stuck guessing.

You’re the product, not a customer.

I married a girl that is into LOTR extended editions… Can confirm that the marriage is still great. She’s also a big star trek fan. It’s great!

CCP lies about everything constantly, runs all businesses, and controls the media. This is extremely well documented.

One of them loans you $25, then you regift it.

Pee? Poop and wipe? How’s he get those tight leather clothes on/off? (Apparently not at all.) Does he require food? He does appear to eat. If not. What’s his energy source? This movie left me with so many questions, including the ball scratching.

The emergency services personnel really are a lot more attractive, which is important when I need emergency services!

and thus

Not enough people use thus. It’s a good word.

I was robbed a lot when I delivered pizza.

Saw a documentary a long time ago. He died within a couple days.

I mentioned it because I say “The average person has less than 1 testicle.”… Also The average person has less than 2 legs… 2 arms… 2 breasts… etc. One of my favorite eye rolling stupid joke.

Proof that men can have babies (and adults) inside of them.

Less than that. There are more women than men and some men have less than 2.

Literally, it’s an important point that seems to be lost on many that believe if we just tax the top 10% (who pay 90% of total tax revenue) even more, we can fix all our problems. Every country with socialized healthcare requires every citizen to pay a significant tax to cover the cost. If people are not willing to pay for it, they shouldn’t be advocating for it. But first they have to be educated on the reality of the cost. So yeah, stop saying free because many have no clue.

Free my ass. Tax payer funded. If you’re going to support something, at least be honest about it.

1911? Yeah. We got those.

So coal powered. Awesome.
