You just reminded me there actually was a browser called Torch that could download torrents like a normal download. It was basically just Chrome with a built-in torrent client.
I remember trying it out when it first came out in 2012. It never caught on and looks like the last release was in 2020.
I guess by "cybercrime" they mean piracy, because that's the main thing I've seen .su used for.
PIA is the best for torrents. It is $79 for 39 months which is $2.03/mo and they have port forwarding. That's less than half of pretty much every other provider.
I have had 3 clients (one for a specific tracker, one for everything else, and an extra seedbox) going 24/7 for years with no problems. No complaints about the speeds either. I frequently saturate full gigabit on both downloads and uploads.
You know that's right.
If you want to do less math you can just drop some zeroes and say it's the same as making $70k while losing $2.50
+1 for MXroute. I have unlimited domains with 25GB of storage for $30 every 3 years. So less than a dollar per month. Looks like they are still offering it. It's more than enough for email especially considering the Gmail account I used for 15 years was under 5GB.
I switched to them at the beginning of the year so about 9 months ago and have not had any issues.
The answer will always be no to any general question like this. It's not like the U.S. is a monolith. It's a culturally, racially, and geographically diverse collection of 350 million people.
Grab 10 random people and the chances of all of them agreeing on almost any subject is near zero.
Even on Linux where their drivers are supposed to be better, my 7900XTX has been crashing randomly for at least a month and it was only fixed in the latest 6.10.9 kernel release yesterday.
It might be their third most popular country but that doesn't necessarily mean it's profitable. Brazil isn't exactly known for spending a lot on things like Twitter Blue or ads, especially per capita.
I have a theory they looked at the numbers and realized that shedding the load would save more money than they would gain by staying. But then again that might be giving Elon too much credit.
I don't think Microsoft is capable of not fumbling everything related to the Halo franchise.
