Do you live outside the US? The way the US works is far less centralized than other countries. Most of this time this kind of stuff is left up to state regulations or even city regulations and contracts. The truth is that capless plans exist, but that is not the reality for large swaths of the US. You're taking a broad approach to a specific problem. Ending data caps ends at the Federal level ends the problem and does away with the mess of state BS. Anyway, I am done talking to a brick wall. Have a good one

You act like I work at the FCC. The reality is the city has tried focusing on that in the past and failed because the contracts set up with the ISPs were renewed by the centrist city government. I think you are thinking of an ideal situation where one does not exist.

WHAT CHOICE!? Data caps are on all plans. What options are there? Lay out what you think the choices are.

Around here they charge for going over your cap, so easy profit with no regulation would be the likely culprit. Also, you keep talking about competition, but there are 2 whole broadband companies in my area, and one does not have fiber/gigabit in my area. That is not what anybody would call healthy competition.

Consumers can pick a subscription with a data cap, or they can pick one without.

I am in a major metropolitan area and I do not have an option to have no data caps. Even the slow internet plans have them. I don't think you realize the stranglehold telecoms have on consumers.

That is a blue light filter, so you shouldn't need a third party filter. The science just isn't out there to show whether or not it helps with sleep, though. It might help, but other things like not using screens within a couple hours to bed and not using phones in bed has better outcomes.

Laura Kampf! Great series on restoring an old house in Germany and just lots of great maker content.

For sure one of the scariest moments in a video game.

Below Zero had far less open ocean, and far less just inky blackness. Plus I think if you played the original, you have an idea of what to expect. Nothing compares to dread of seeing a Leviathan come up from total darkness in the first one.

I love both Subnauticas, but there are really only 2.5 things this tells us:

  1. Giant hermit crabs exist

  2. Likely multiplayer

2.5. Maybe giant squids?

I am super excited either way

I know some recent Samsung fridges had issues with compressors getting frost build up on the outside causing damage. Wonder if that is a result of thinner/cheaper materials.

I dunno if that is true of refrigerators. Newer fridges have more electronic components, vs just a compressor and some simple mechanics on older fridges. The cooling tech on fridges hasn't changed much, but the extra amenities sure have.
