Every single port, cable, switch and router between your fiber ONT to your laptop has to support that bandwidth. What model is your laptop? What model is your router?
When you say directly connect to the router, are you physically right next to the router testing the speed? Or are you plugging your laptop into ports installed throughout your home?
Eh… The US economy is practically driven by lending to the individual consumer. Banks created a system to identify risks to lending to individuals. Higher scores mean less risk of a bank losing money on an individual. So those high scores are presented with higher credit limits and lower interest rates.
The issue with the individual credit score is that it has become ingrained in society as a litmus test for trustworthiness and credibility. So low scores are rewarded with higher interest rates, lower credit limits, and hit with bigger deposit requirements. Background checks for employment and housing are probably the biggest issue in this regard. If there is a score-tanking event in your life (such as bankruptcy due to healthcare emergencies, for example), it becomes exponentially more difficult to bring yourself back to financial stability because your bankruptcy is reported to the credit bureaus, they tank your score, and you then struggle to find a good job to bring you up again.
A lot of people who happily get credit cards without knowing if they can pay do not fully understand the consequences of not paying. It goes far beyond a bank merely telling you “no”.
Japan’s economy is only going to get worse. I don’t think they’ve resolved their population decline and aging demographics.
Honestly, the comments show who read the article and who didn’t. It’s really not hard to see that the court was looking for a history of conscientious objection and didn’t find any proof, instead finding arguments to the contrary.
How did it get so bad? Is there a tl;Dr anywhere that explains it fully?
The article suggests Iran is losing its influence on its proxies. That’s an interesting take, but I wouldn’t hold my breath that it would help simmer things down.
What “methods” did they use to pay? I’m missing a little bit of context.
Lots of Chinese seem themselves as white. And plenty of Asians consider lighter skin to mean wealth and upper class.
Plenty of people obviously care. The Pope influences the lives of hundreds of millions directly and indirectly. Especially, people in power who have the ability to enact religiou -based laws that affect everything
Short answer is “likely”.
If you work in a field with sensitive data (financial, healthcare, technology, politics) you don’t get a phone designed by a China-government owned company.
They have a patrol fleet there, just like other Navies, to ensure freedom of operations. Speculation is that these vessels are meant to takeover the existing patrol fleets duties, but because of the absence of American vessels, due to Israel, the new Chinese vessels will linger longer, or more permanently.
Pretty sure we knew this was coming. Bunch of articles last year or the year before that stating that SSD prices were going to climb if not skyrocket.
