That would imply that someone actually sees them... vs shoving them under the rug, or giving them to a bot to delete.

That's extremely common unless on "active" fiber (vs GPON, DOCSIS3, DSL, most fixed wireless, satellite, mobile, etc.)

Your wifi isn't symmetrical either.

Those are designed to have static asymmetrical bandwidth though, *dm split gives ISP side more of possible shared bandwidth. Wifi bandwidth is shared and dynamic so client can use all of it.

> Those are designed to have static asymmetrical bandwidth though

Yes, that's why I said that?

> *dm split

No idea what you're trying to say here.

> they're watching the match

Isn't that part of the problem? Foot egg is so ingrained into the countrymen that nothing else matters.

There wouldn't be so much of a forced monopoly if more people would stop watching games and stand up to laliga.

Or maybe people just like watching football?

I live in the US and just finished watching a recording of Atletico vs Barcelona in the Champions League and it was incredibly entertaining.

Foot egg? I thought we were talking about soccer.

Hand egg is the other.

did soccer balls change shape to warrant being compared to eggs?

Rugby?

Oh right

And that's how greed ends up destroying itself.

They can easily get away with soccer because everyone is glued to the match. Tennis? Eh. Golf? No way.

It broke Gemini and of course we can't have that...

Let's be real, Windows 2000 ran reasonably well on only 128mb of memory... if it needed megabytes like modern apps, it wouldn't be very useful, especially when you're low on memory.

Win2K was peak windows for me. Every subsequent version has gotten worse from my POV.

I'd probably lean towards Windows XP with the W2k theme (at least later in its life) but it was basically the same thing.

Main difference was easier-to-install video card drivers, though you could often get them to work on W2k by editing INI files.

Yes. A no frills but full-featured NT. It was the best version of Windows.

Agreed.

Even WinXP had goofy web technology tied into File Explorer (called “Windows Explorer” then, I believe). Win2K was just optimal, for me, for what I was doing at the time.

I think Win2k already had that. As far as I remember, the explorer sidebar, the white box with the colored line under the heading, already being HTML. I loved hacking on that back then to customize my windows experience.

Yes, it was called Active Desktop and it was much older than Win2K: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Desktop

If you changed the colour scheme on Windows 98, none of the cloud images were transparent in Explorer (they assumed the background was white) so you'd end up with these weird clouds/sky fading into a white background and then a hard line into whatever colour you'd set your background to.

The desktop was very sluggish if you added an active desktop to it, as IE4 had to run; at least it was on my underpowered machine. Additionally it came with a screensaver that you could interact with, which was odd because normally moving the mouse dismissed the screensaver.

Active Desktop was a different thing, on top of what I was talking about.

But the post parent to yours was correct about HTML being in Win2k: https://imgur.com/ncvvBY0

That infopanel on the left is HTML.

Ah ok. Unfortunately I cannot look at that page on imgur as I am in the UK and it's blocked here.

that is insane. why is that blocked in the UK? or is it imgur that blocks the UK? everything is weird these days.

Overhyped.

Maybe there is some astroturfing going on, as is usually the case, but it's already known that Codex/Claude Code and their ilk have been ruining CTFs for a while.

And well, one can always prompt "review my feature branch" or "review this file for bugs" with these tools; code analysis plays into the strengths of LLMs far more than code generation, since false positives/hallucinations aren't a problem with the former.

LMAO, I do genuinely believe it's much easier to hack right now. Just matter of timer sth blows up on the news.

> fake cbc ads

I see those through google more than I do through FB ads. /shrug

That's a nice gesture, I guess.

CC numbers are also bound to get recycled eventually as cards expire and/or get replaced... even if you block a card, it might have a new owner 6 months or so later.

The number space between the first 6 digits (BIN) and the Luhn check digit is 9 digits — that's 1 billion numbers that issuers can give out before a collision happens.

That doesn't seem to be more than an order of magnitude off between available numbers and issued cards - a cursory search says there are over a billion credit cards in circulation in the US alone.

I think you're confusing the available number space per BIN (often used for a single card product) with the number of available numbers per network.

Visa and Mastercard each have 14 digits worth of permutations to play with, excluding the first and last digits. That's one hundred trillion numbers.

Assuming 8 billion people in the world, each person can hold 12,500 of either Visa or Mastercard before a collision happens. (As above, the number space is smaller because of how BINs are issued, but that's still plenty.)
