This is a well written article. The thing that stands out to me, though, is that Apple is simply playing the capitalism game.

Make things cheaper and they’ll buy it, that’s all they’re looking for.

🔥 This is fine 🔥

Alright, thanks for the info!

Why would you want to donate to a political organization? I don’t get it. If you don’t know of a political organization already that you want to support, why go out to find one?

Your donation could go to a different / better cause than a political party.

I picked up Elden Ring over a year ago and had started it. It was really difficult going around the world and I felt like I wasn’t enjoying it as much as I could because of its difficulty. This was my first experience with a “Souls” game.

I played a bit of Demon’s Souls over the holidays last year on ps3 because I had it on ps+ and was curious. I liked it and it helped me force myself to keep at it with some enemies, as it’s more linear.

That gave me the push to try Elden Ring once more and it then “clicked” and I just kept at it and now I’m having way more fun. I’m going back everywhere because I know I skipped difficult bosses or parts of the game.

I found out that I had skipped over a whole area and went to an even more difficult one, so I was getting a harder game than I should have. Upon going to the now easier map section (and with an upgraded character), I breezed through a huge section.

If you haven’t heard of it, I recommend 😅

Search “what is my ip” on your web search engine to see without and with a VPN connection, to see if you’re really going through the VPN tunnel. Seems like you aren’t.

Fire up a wireshark / tcpdump of a transfer and look to see if the TCP window size is limiting the transfer by the laptop. It might not be able to receive as much data.

Look to another service to test the speed. Your test seems web based, have you tried iperf3? You can also play with options in iperf3 (sending udp, tcp, different payload sizes, etc.)

Yep and somehow, they want you to “prove” you don’t have one.
