Should be opt-in, it’s a dumb feature nobody asked for.

Even the Index, Valve’s own headset has had broken functionality for years with no fixes in sight. Valve refuses to fix big stuff like the cameras, base stations not turning on, or even automatic audio switching.

Not to mention steamvr reprojection is completely broken.

There’s a toggle to turn off iMessage, and the phone asks you when you set it up if you want to use iMessage or not.

It’s as simple as this:

If my ISP charges me for X connection speed, I should be able to use what I paid for. Bandwidth caps make no sense, “internet” is not a resource that has to be generated.

What happened in the pandemic was the first real test displaying very clearly that ISPs are overselling/overprovisioning their network, and hoping we don’t notice that they haven’t actually used the money to upgrade or improve their network.

It’s easy to point the finger at the big bandwidth sources and ask for more money, but it’s wrong and it’s double-dipping. They’re using Twitch and Netflix as the scapegoat for their lack of reinvestment.

This is a bad take, and the antithesis of net neutrality.

If the customer pays for a connection, the ISP should be able to provide that. Why does it matter if it’s Twitch or Netflix traffic vs anything else?

Or just let us download the actual game/movie/song like the good old days.

You’re probably thinking about homerf, which was the competitor to WiFi. I don’t think Bluetooth was ever marketed as an alternative to WiFi.

android has allowed 3rd party app stores since day 1 so this is going to be an issue on the iPhone how?

If you already have a virtualization host can just use a VM as well.

In HAM radio, encryption is forbidden, which would be the most equivalent to police radio.

Slowly? This crap has been going on for years.
