Funny they discontinued the Bronco after the associated bad press only to call it's replacement the Escape!

Sandvine uses pattern recognition primarily. VPN doesn't matter. It still gets categorized correctly.

I believe the low seed counts are due to the absolute trash out there. Actual good shows and movies are still strong. Niche items have always been hard to find. But we're saturated with garbage entertainment these days. No one really cares to seed what they watch once and then never think about again.

First, sandvine calls it an app for legacy reasons, but 100% that is the bit torrent protocol. I have insider knowledge that this is the case. So don't get hung up on that. But you're right to doubt them. They are a shell of what they once were. Their fixed deployments are quite small now and do not represent fiber at all, which just hit over 50% in availability in dense US areas. Sandvine is still in Comcast at 100% coverage and in Cox, but they're tiny. Sandvine is a bit sparse in mobile, but still there solidly. I believe that bit torrent is rare in mobile. Like no shit. I believe them that it's down in fixed copper (dsl and cable). But they're missing 100% of fiber. Sandvine does pattern recognition primarily. It used to be great. I suspect it's still pretty good. They claim better than 90% accuracy. I'm sure the data they have is correct. But what they get from their customers is definitely questionable at times. They've made some huge mistakes in the past, grabbing data for too short a period of time or not across a broad enough customer base. I'm sure that's still the case. What we need is someone like Kentik, Deepfield, and anyone else doing flow correlation to release a report. But they won't because no company gives away that kind of data anymore. So we're stuck guessing.

Family first! I thank you for what you've done for reddit and sync for lemmy. The app still works great for me. I hope you find happiness in your work and I accept whatever decision you make to continue this at whatever pace suits you. It's been really fun watching your efforts and enjoying the fruits of your labor over the last decade.

Stuff sticks to my pei sheet TOO well. Clean it well... Soap and water with a new clean soft sponge. Get all the glue off and any other gunk and oil. Wipe it dry with a clean towel. Lightly rub it down with isopropyl alcohol. When dry, print on it with nothing on the sheet. I can go like 20 big prints before I have to clean it again.

You're the product, not a customer.

CCP lies about everything constantly, runs all businesses, and controls the media. This is extremely well documented.

I've had a few spools. I've found inland from micro center to be really good filament. I haven't noticed much difference between the two. Also, there are some top tier filament manufacturers in the US. Pricey stuff but no more than prusa and shipping is free to low.
