Looks like Amazon wants to close off this year with yet another rent-seeking episode. Thankfully I don't use Amazon, but my parents still pay for Prime specifically for their streaming service, so this is going to be very annoying for them :/

Not sure if they allow this in Pakistan, but can't you use PayPal to pay for Spotify? This support article says you can, alongside gift cards and mobile payments

I'd be interested to know what the actual speeds will be outside of these pilot cities, and internationally. I've seen 10Gbps plans being advertised in my country recently, but they hide the fact that the international speeds are around 2 Gbps. (Still pretty fast, but definitely not worth the cost!)

A better question, actually: Who's the target audience for this? Unless you routinely transfer terabytes of data daily, I don't see why you would need anything more than 1 or 2 Gbps - and if you do need to transfer that much data, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to lease dark fibre instead?

Interesting - I've visited this site before on my phone, and there's usually a button below the 'Disable my adblocker' button, allowing you to bypass the message. Guess they've changed it :/

That's an over-exaggeration - the telemetry in Audacity is literally just opt-in error reporting, and the server is self-hosted by the developer. Source

Flipboard also supports RSS, allowing you to see your feeds with any software you want!

Wow, are we getting Windows N again?

Wow, a car stereo with a large display like that is surprisingly advanced for 1985! I wonder if this is really a CRT, or a multi-segment display made to look like one

From your post history, it looks like you're in Singapore. If so, then I don't think that will be a concern - if anything, given how most government apps treat sideloading on the Android side, they'll probably block you from using them if you use the feature.

If you also need test videos, Demolandia is another great resource. However, their site is very slow, so you might want to use a download manager.

Nice, that's exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks

 

I'm currently running Nicotine+ on my PC for audio downloading, and it works great. However, if I want to download some music on another device, I have to remote in, download the album I want, and then transfer the files to the other device. Since my mobile reception is not very good where I work, I download music to listen offline very often, so it's a bit tedious.

Instead, is there a web client where I can download files to the server and then to my device locally? I know there are some mobile clients for Android, but I can't find any for iOS, and I don't want to be sharing files off my phone 24/7.

Oh, I understand now, I'm not from the US so I just assumed that it was majority-funded. I'm just not sure why this would be a big deal even if NPR was government funded - I mean, it's still better than a broadcaster owned by the media oligopoly, so who really cares?

 

Yattee has recently dropped support for iOS 14, and was already extremely buggy to begin with. I currently use the uYou tweak on YouTube, but it isn't as private. Are there any native alternatives that don't involve a PWA?
