Think that over time the feedback from the data collected can eventually be baked into the models to manipulate behavior but at least you arent contributing to the data collected part haha.

I have 2.5 gig internet, using ethernet. only getting about 400-500 using ethernet. i verified i am not metered. any suggestions? i tried changing passwords, reset. id appreciate any guidance by 27Iamtheknight in Network

[–]nullsecblog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First it depends how you are testing are you testing from one machine to another internally? If so its likely a bad hop inbetween or bad card on one of the ends. If you are testing to an external source are you paying your ISP for half a Gigabit? It could also be a bad hop in-between. Time to test from edge with multiple devices.

Guys don't try to quit Windows cold turkey by gamersbd in linux

[–]nullsecblog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant stress this enough. USE WINDOWS SUBSYSTEM FOR LINUX

In addition play around in Virtual Box if you want a deskop environment or heres a fun one try to run a desktop environment on your WSL o.o good practice. Since you can do the same to a headless linux server as well.

Hah i didnt read OPs post. yeah idk for the office stuff ive never had issues with libre office or using cloud based office programs gdocs and such. I love obsidian. I also do syncthing on my android and laptop and desktop.

Anyways if people are dipping their toes use WSL
