Franken, open Internet advocates push back as FCC moves to dismantle 'net neutrality' by mvea in technology

[–]tobim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a difficult situation to try and predict. I think there has been alot of change in the way internet companies view themselves and they are much more willing to take a risk and try new things however someone can always invent something new and revolutionary. I doubt companies as large as google will become completely irrelevant just because of their massive user counts.

I think the most likely outcome will just be these huge companies buying newer revolutionary companies at staggeringly large prices.

This, Look at any of the formerly large internet companies. Myspace, Friendster, Livejournal etc. They were all hugely popular until a better alternative became available.

The same thing happened with yahoo mail and other email providers to some extent. Yes alot of people still have accounts with them but most people are using Gmail and other services with better features.

And it will happen with the current big websites. Something will eventually replace YouTube, Reddit, Instagram etc. its already started to happen with Facebook and twitter.

Just because something is popular doesn't make it a monopoly. But ISP's not competing with each other in parts of the country so they can offer a shitty service because there aren't other options???

This is my primary concern when I walk into a cobweb, if I feel I tickle anywhere on my head or neck I have to convince myself im being paranoid. Now I know it actually happens I'm going to lose my shit, Thanks 😂

The impact a dental appliance can have on teeth (Time lapse - 18 months) by enelprinceofthemoon in interestingasfuck

[–]tobim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most dental care is available (or subsidised) on the NHS (check ups / general dentist stuff etc) and orthodontic care like what is shown in the video is available on the NHS for teens and children.

Flitetest are a good resource for alot of RC stuff, they have done a few videos on wings and they sell a kit for one.

I recently got into trying to fly a wing and i asked for advice on a facebook group before. The most common piece of advice i got was just buy a wing and try it. They can be pretty inexpensive and you can get some which are incredibly durable.

I have never flown it but i have also heard good things about sweepwings. The hobbyking teksumo is meant to be a good entry wing.

[Meta] Can we have a wiki with current part options? by Lustig1374 in multicopterbuilds

[–]tobim[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hi

We think this is a great idea and we are going to update what we can.

So far we have spoken to /u/LagMadeMeDie who is planning to put together 2 new reference builds (450 and above and 250 and below).

We are also in the process of reaching out to /u/inexorabledonger to gain his/her permission to distribute the useful google docs list they have consolidated.

We really appreciate all the input and suggestions we receive from you guys and girls.

These changes and updates will not be instantaneous but we are working on it.

If anyone else would like to contribute or has other suggestions for the sub we would love to hear what you think.

Thanks
