    Don't you have a spellcheck on your browser? Most of them do and should've told you that you made an obvious mistake there.

    Tamesh16 reacted to rcmaehl in IP Apocalypse - RIPE confirms available IPv4 addresses will run out in November   
    Source:
    RIPE NCC
    ISPreview UK (Quote/media source)
     
    Summary:
    The UK, Europe, Middle East, and Asia are quickly running out of IPv4 addresses with other regions to soon follow.

    My Thoughts:
    It's happening. IPv4 is being fully used. It's migrate or die. Or well, not really die, just have a lot of hardship ahead as you're forced to buy and sell IPv4 addresses. Thankfully, DNS servers and hostnames were adjusted for the internet backbone a LONG time ago, it's just up to ISPs to get on board like they should have long ago.

    Tamesh16 reacted to vladdeSV in Statistically, Anthony in thumbnails could increase likes per view   
    Exactly, as I pointed out in the just below the link to the data.
     
    I think that concise, informative, videos with a soothing voice gather more likes.
    Which also happens to match the type of videos Anthony often is present in.

    Tamesh16 reacted to minibois in Tom Scott on common VPN sponsorship claims   
    To me, the main advantage to a VPN should be more about overcoming geo-restrictions and less about security. I found the whole 'make your connection private' thing kind of irrelevant too.. For many people using an alternate DNS would work for that purpose too.
    Saw the video a minute ago, thought it was a pretty interesting... I guess 'unpopular voice' as compared to a greater part of YouTube.

    Tamesh16 reacted to kshade in Tom Scott on common VPN sponsorship claims   
    British educational youtuber Tom Scott has released a video about common claims made in VPN sponsorship segments.
     
     
    Video summary:
    You don't need a VPN to hide your password these days since SSL encryption is used almost everywhere. "Military-grade encryption" is what SSL uses as well. Not a wrong claim, but misleading. Your ISP can see what domain names you request, which is something you might want to hide with a VPN. But what they can't see is the whole URL. VPN providers can be compromised by hackers or governments as well. They are great for circumventing geo-blocking and piracy though, but you can't really advertise with that. Originally, this video was sponsored by a VPN provider, but they dropped it last second. tl;dr: VPNs are not a general necessity because of SSL
     
    I'm not posting this here as an attack on LTT or anything like that, and I'm aware that many of you will already know most of this. I'm just seeing a lot of channels with less of a tech-focused audience (and owners) do actual scare-mongering that it makes me glad that this easy to understand counterpoint exists.

    Tamesh16 reacted to Kisai in Leaving your devices plugged in to an outlet in 2019   
    Dell's business laptops (Latitude, Precision) have an entire BIOS page dedicated to battery settings. You can also install the Dell Power Manager tool to change it without going into the BIOS.
     

    If you have it set to Advanced Charge, it's intended to be used for a work pattern (eg mon-fri, 9am-6pm) so it will only charge the battery to full during those times, outside those times, it will only charge the battery if it gets to something like 20%.
     

     
    The default setting is usually Adaptive. This is what it should be set to normally.

    Tamesh16 reacted to Eigenvektor in Leaving your devices plugged in to an outlet in 2019   
    Batteries don't like being charged constantly. That's a basic physical property and isn't going to change. Battery controllers have improved to avoid charging cells that are already at capacity etc. so charging when your laptop is at half capacity isn't as bad as it used to be, but keeping it attached to the outlet constantly still isn't a good thing to do (constantly discharging and charging is also wearing it down... so pick your poison )

    apple is not for people who have any curious tweaking things brain
    apple is literally the control ads they had a long time ago.

    I'm assuming you're referring to the fact that the numbers are no longer on the top of the letters. It's something you will get used to over time quite easily, so don't worry too much about it.
    Again, something that will take some time to get used to. And believe me, the options you get with swiping down from the top of Android are way more complicated than iOS.
