Fighting every municipality and Homeowners Association (HOA, aka Strata) along the way. Running fiber is tough here in the US, even motivated incumbents see a minimum of a 6 month delay waiting for permits in many municipalities to run fiber through existing conduit owned by said incumbent.
Beanfield runs fiber through streets and sewers, and provides networking to office buildings and condominium apartments. I don't think they serve detached houses, as the low density is not worth it.
CGNAT is killer though, the random connection drops when you don't get a static IP from your cellular provider cause random connection drops whenever their CGNAT gateway burps or misbehaves.
Most people on cellphones don't notice, but it becomes oh so noticeable when your interacting with it every day.
Remember, your still getting a censored perspective of the internet, but now from wherever they are hosting the browser's from.
You might get routed to different servers with differing localizations or feature breakage, and its hard to say you are actually getting a better experience by streaming your browser.
This is one person's passion project and they are writing it in the language they prefer. We need to respect that they are doing free labor and publishing the resulting code as open source.
It sucks that it is not modern C#, but rather legacy .Net 4.8 which lacks the performance improvements and cross-platform compatibility of .Net 5 and above, but perhaps the author will feel an itch to refactor it, or someone else will come along and modernize it and make a pull request.
There is plenty of computing related stuff that Google doesn't do, has stopped doing or outsources nearly all of, whether it be ceasing to be a Domain Registrar, providing voice & texting services (Google Voice being just another Bandwidth.com frontend, Google Fi being an alternative onramp to the T-Mobile network, with identical roaming).
You mentioned social media, what social media happens on Google's platforms? Google Wave is long dead, Google Talk was broken so badly everyone I know stopped using it. Google Groups is a wasteland that just spams up Usenet, so everyone ignores it. Where is Google in action when it comes to social media?
If I would be youtube ML engineer, I would use some engagement metric as a label in loss function: for example how many % of video you actually watched, not just fact that you clicked on it.
Some university networks are run tightly, others are rather loose when it comes to security, monitoring and debugging network cables that are syncing up at lower speeds. Really depends on who is staffing the IT team...
Many older universities give you a public IPv4 address with no NAT when you plug into a network port.
OP, one neat thing you should try is broadcasting a /25 through /29 and seeing which ISPs this is routable from (eg: Lumen (aka Centurylink/Quantum), Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, Comcast, etc). There are a number of blocks smaller than /24's being broadcast, and it would be quite interesting to see which ISPs are willing to route traffic to smaller blocks.
A fool and his money are quickly separated. The guy probably didn't educate himself as a consumer and did not want to put more effort into chasing Tesla to uphold their legal commitments. Perhaps he read about https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/5/21502379/tesla-modely-roo... and decided to take the loss and move on.
Tesla's target demographics often skew towards those that are well to do financially, a good subset of which are not native. This is an easier to abuse subset of the population as they are not clued into how to use their state Attorney General to push Tesla to make it right, or use the other legal avenues available.
I suppose someone who's done the research wouldn't buy a Tesla in the first place...
A bit like Nigerian spammers and phishers having sloppy writing, which is (either by design or not) a filter so only the less mentally able readers would fall into their net by responding.
Lots of people have no issues with their Tesla, just as other car makers put out some duds and inconsistent results. There is no perfect car to buy. That’s why we have warranties.
The PinePhone uses a really old, slow modem (the Quectel EG25). Why not get a modern Snapdragon x62 like the RM520, drop it in a carrier board, root the modem and do all the shenanigans you want?
Because you can't use a Snapdragon in that way, that's not how Qualcomm's business works. There's a reason that very few (or no) "open" phones actually use Snapdragons and it's because it's impossible to obtain the firmware for these without layers of very restrictive contracts and NDAs. They're almost like NXP in that way.
