A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It also makes no sense with the bandwidth you're given.
For example, if you have a 1 Gb/s connection, that's 0.125 GB/second, which comes out to about 320 TB/month if you fully use that bandwidth. Giving you a pipe that can download 320 TB but then limiting it to, say, 1 TB/month makes no goddamned sense whatsoever. You're giving people a sports car and telling them they can't drive over 15 mph.
