Thanks for the game recommendation! I just had a lot of fun playing GL TRON on my Android 11 (crDroid 7.38) phone. I had to map the 'menu' function to the nav buttons to access the settings since modern Android doesn't have a dedicated menu button anymore, but it runs great!

I feel like the comment was sarcastic. At least, that's how I read it in my head.

Yes. And some states (e.g. Washington) already have.

The governing documents may not prohibit the installation of a solar energy panel by an owner or resident on the owner's or resident's property [...]

Some people just prefer to care for their little digital dolphin in peace.

company where every single employee has control/voting rights

Isn't that called a co-op? I hear those tend to do well.

In Opera Mini, yes. They also had a less popular but nearly identical browser, Opera Mobile, which didn't do the proxying and compression. I had an unlimited data plan back then, so I always used Mobile. The performance was great even without compression.

Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection includes a game very similar to nonocross, as well as about 40 other puzzle games you might also like.

Most of the formats served by YouTube are already chunked, which means they can easily insert different chunks of video (ads, etc) at various points in the stream by changing the manifest. This is trivial, computationally. The complexity lies in building the mechanisms to make it work.
The non-chunked formats are only used by older devices, and are lower quality. Those would require re-encoding to change, but few users see them anyway, and those users probably don't adblock.

I think the reference was to IE4 for Windows 95 and 98, which did in fact run the desktop and file manager functions with IE to enable web functionality. You could type a URL into the file manager path bar and use it as a web browser or use a web page as your desktop, IIRC.

20mbits at bottom tier would be fine, but there are currently top tier cable plans, 1gbps down and still only 10mbps up. Upload speed needs to scale at least proportionallly, if not symmetrically.
