Now play 1080p content on it to compare

I had a 6" 720p phone. Couldn’t tell the resolution, but could definitely tell the longer battery life

I cannot tell 4K because my TV is 50’’ and I sit three meters away

Yeah, but only when you build with lto+pgo which will take even longer

spend an hour building to save 1ms per page load

I’m not fine with it, I want that percentage to be 100% whether a government has other ideas or not

I just use AWS because it can max out my home connection anyway

Everyone learning about VPNs out of necessity might be an overall benefit

So… Use Monero and a fake name?

It’s not slow, 90% of Tor connections just get terminated so nothing loads. Maybe the DNS finds the site, but the SSL handshake gets terminated before anything loads

I’m using a VPN in China

I was able to access only one webpage before it stopped working, just the google page that said it detected suspicious activity

now nothing is loading

almost half an hour later I loaded the google front page, but after searching for something the next page won’t come up. Maybe not true that it’s “blocked”, but it’s not usable in any way

That’s not true

You can’t block commercial VPNs. I can put a commercial VPN website up right now, it takes like a second. All I need is a crypto payment address and I’ll share my VPN servers

They can’t do that because we have the presumption of innocence
