  1. Yep, my wife and I charge everything on credit cards, and all are set to auto pay in full every month, no interest paid. We average around $1500 a year in cash back between the 2 cards we use.
  2. Hence my comment about "not sure where you are from"... Original story was about a driver in LA and your comment did NOT say you were talking about trucks in "GERMANY".... 1. Find the chill pill 2. Swallow it.
  3. Not sure where you are, but this is completely not true in the US. Trucks here regularly drive on freeways with speed limits up to 75mph and 80,000 to 100,000lb trucks regularly drive 70-80. Also, there is no law against trucks passing each other either. In some places they cannot use the left hand lane, but if there are 3 lanes they can still (and do regularly) pass each other.
  4. I'm not sure why so many are so surprised by this... I signed up for Protonmail about 3 months ago... while researching and reading their terms/faq's etc... I saw it stated clearly that they do not log IP info by default but will for specific users start doing so if required by law. That the logging starts AFTER the request. Nothing they've done goes against their already stated policies. Yes they changed a couple statements to make it more clear, but this was already a written/communicated policy before this happened.
  5. I never said it "wasn't a thing" just saying that it is not as common as you seem to believe. Also, not sure a comparison from 2010 is a good one given today's gig fiber environment. Anyway, just don't equate you and your friends and some online people knowing about this with it being "common knowledge". If people have to google it to find out about it, it's not that common.
  6. None of these qualify as a 'slippery slope'... the fact that they dont lead to anything is what disqualifies them as a slippery slope. Definition of slippery slope : a course of action that seems to lead inevitably from one action or result to another with unintended consequences
  7. Funny, I've been a PC gamer since Windows 3.11, most of my friends and colleagues are also PC gamers... and "nagel" is not a word that has ever entered any conversation. I'd even be willing to bet that none of them have ever even heard of it. I've been a Sysadmin AND gamer for over 25 years, and I'd have to side with leadeater on this one 100%, both on the nagle argument and the relationship between latency/throughput/bandwidth and buffering.
  8. we have around 2200 machines running Windows 10 on the most current update with no known issues, certainly haven't seen the behavior you are seeing. I'd be looking for other causes as well, but I'll be curious to see if you get an answer with MS for the issue. Good luck.
  9. 100% safe surfing the dark web... yeah... no such thing. If it were me with only one machine, I'd build an isolated VM and pipe it through a VPN.
  10. I've been doing this so long I guess it's just hard to conceptualize... like a download, I just minimize or open another window on top of it... not saying it's bad or good, just can't wrap my head around it.
  11. I have never figured out what is saved by having say music playing on a different virtual desktop vs just minimizing the app...
  12. Awesome OK thanks... they look like good units though, I like the offset layout, (cords at 45 degrees).
  13. What PDU are those? Haven't seen those or the plug type before. The servers look familiar though
