And so I ran out of bandwidth the other day on my phone following a drunken downloading of the entire internet.
SO, for the next few days my internet use is restricted to the library.
At home it's too slow. Way too slow.
Facebook - can't even load the shortest inane video. Reddit stalls, even news sites are unreachable - it just shows how bloated with code the internet is; this website is no exception, these things should load on my phone no problem, they're simply text and images, that they don't shows how grotesquely badly the internet it being implemented. Code bloat. What should be done with a few kb worth of files & text now takes mb, even gb; and to no avail. Bandwidth for sale, use up the bandwidth as quickly as possible so we can sell you more...
That said, this is odd to me. I can play YouTube videos no problem. The video quality, not so good, but the audio is fine. Why is YouTube the only optimized website? In any event, listening lately to Sir Roger Penrose - interesting, but he's in decline, and there are these interesting AI narrated videos in the voice and style of the late Richard Feynman "Explaining" gravity, motion, etc, and these I'm finding good background listening, I'm putting together my own theory of Cosmology (much as Karl Pilkington might put together a theory of Anthropology) - still, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one confused by the state of the Cosmos.
