This is the correct answer. The only thing I would add is some devices don’t allow changing the DNS IPs and are hard coded to 8.8.8.8 so Google blocking sites via DNS is still an issue. Of course you could intercept these requests, but with DNS over HTTPS becoming more popular, i would imagine that device manufactures will also start to do certificate pinning as well to prevent people from using their own DNS server.

Oh my god. She admit it!

Yeah, in my case, I wasn’t familiar with the settings for Cloudtrail Data Events, and didn’t realize you could select which events to log, based on the actor or resource, as opposed to all events in DynamoDB. That would have saved me a lot processing power to filter the logs to look for the actions I was looking for.

I enabled Cloudtrail to log all DynamoDB read/write data events when trying to troubleshoot an issue. Even though I only left this enabled for a few days, the Cloudtrail line item was $5k more than it should have been. My back of the napkin math with assumptions came out to be 100 times less than that, so I had a really awkward support email asking them to reverse the charges, which they did fortunately.

Is there a really a quota on the CSAM detection, or do you mean catbox would only get a free 1GB of storage? No one’s saying that Cloudflare would give away 1 PB of traffic for free, obviously catbox would have to pay for it. Still though, Cloudflare or another CDN adds a lot of value which would be hard to replicate.

At that volume, you need to scale a lot, which is what CDNs are designed to do. Moving 1 PB a month in traffic would be like a sustained upload speed of 3 Gbps for an entire month, which is huge for any ISP, and cost a lot. You’d probably need to divide the traffic going out which means multiple ISP connections, and more machines for redundancy. Probably at that scale, connections are coming from all over the world, so to reduce latency, you’ll need locations in multiple continents to serve quicker. As you can probably tell, this becomes more than just one time purchases and electricity costs.

CDNs have dedicated fiber links between geographic locations and negotiated volume discount rates on bandwidth with other ISPs. From a cost and a reliability perspective, it means you can deliver content for less than hosting it all on your own.

I haven’t played the Switch version in a few years, but it at least used to be cross platform multiplayer. Not sure if it still is?

Obviously this is antithetical to this community, but when Stadia was a thing, it was actually really amazing. Playing Cyberpunk 2077 on release day with a shit PC blew me away. I’m not sure how it worked in Australia, but the lag was only noticeable sometimes, and never was a distraction or took away from the game play. GeForce Now is ok, but they need to support your game, and then you need to purchase the game + have a subscription. I know Stadia got a lot of shit, and also had a limited catalog, but it actually got me to buy cutting edge games, sometimes on release day, with no subscription.

For me, piracy is not about cost, but more for combating anti-consumer behavior by corporations. Say what you will about Google, but Stadia was actually a good product. I guess it’s just good they killed it before they could enshitify it.

Had to lookup a video, this is how it worked: https://youtu.be/dZaEpugk3hY?t=235

There was a controller layout for Goldeneye and Perfect Dark where you used two N64 controllers, so you had two analog sticks and two Z buttons. It was extremely awkward to use A or B to cycle through weapons or open doors because of the button placement, but Goldeneye was actually the first two-thumbstick FPS game I played.

Clearly you didn’t read the article. The first paragraph is about Meta censoring LGBTQ+ content

On Monday, Taylor Lorenz posted a telling story about how Meta has been suppressing access to LGBTQ content across its platforms, labeling it as “sensitive content” or “sexually explicit.”

Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags including #lesbian, #bisexual, #gay, #trans, #queer, #nonbinary, #pansexial, #transwomen, #Tgirl, #Tboy, #Tgirlsarebeautiful, #bisexualpride, #lesbianpride, and dozens of others were hidden for any users who had their sensitive content filter turned on. Teenagers have the sensitive content filter turned on by default.

When teen users attempted to search LGBTQ terms they were shown a blank page and a prompt from Meta to review the platform’s “sensitive content” restrictions, which discuss why the app hides “sexually explicit” content.

People who comment on articles without reading the article itself should take a long look into the mirror before implying other people are advocating censorship.
