  • When I’m almost certain it’s a scammer calling, I’ll answer as professionally as I can as if I’m running a business…

    “Thank you for calling Ding Dong Double Dildos and Dirty Devices! How would you like to fuck yourself today?”

    They usually just hang up and remove the number from the call list LMFAO! 😂🤣

    I actually did this for my mom one day, scammers had been calling her left and right. She found it quite hilarious too, and by the next day, more than half the scammers quit calling 👍

    Edit: Merry Christmas! This is how you fuck the scammers…





  • Nah, they mailed all their customers, informing everyone that once they finished upgrading their infrastructure, that they would triple every customers’ internet speed for no extra charge.

    Then, as everyone waited in hope, within like 6 months they renamed to /Sparklight, and that 100Mbps > 300Mbps upgrade they promised disappeared like a fart in the wind, plus /Sparklight ended up eventually increasing customer bills anyways, without any performance increase.

    Honestly I think that’s exactly why they renamed, just because they wanted to back out of that promise, but didn’t actually have the fine print to legally back out.





  • If the compressed files are of the same/similar format, more compression is possible as the algorithm can detect more related patterns to compress.

    But if you toss in a variety of file formats, compression will tend to suffer more.

    Sometimes, the easiest way is just to try and see, different formats lend themselves to better or worse compression.

    The files that tend to be worst at compression are the ones that are already compressed themselves.
