And as usual, answers.microsoft.com gives a very long non-answer, including gems such as:

> Most internet plans are asymmetrical, meaning they offer a higher download speed and lower upload speed. This is because typical internet usage involves more downloading then uploading.

What puzzles me is the deflecting, on EVERY SINGLE ANSWER, hey guys, c'mon if you have over 30 people reporting the exactly same behavior then it is not longer on the end user, it is on YOU!

Krapivin made this breakthrough by being unaware of Yao's conjecture.

The developer of Balatro made an award winning deck builder game by not being aware of existing deck builders.

I'm beginning to think that the best way to approach a problem is by either not being aware of or disregarding most of the similar efforts that came before. This makes me kind of sad, because the current world is so interconnected, that we rarely see such novelty with their tendency to "fall in the rut of thought" of those that came before. The internet is great, but it also homogenizes the world of thought, and that kind of sucks.

Absolutely true! I concur 100% with your take.

Funny this breakthrough happens at same time Antirez made this post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42983275

I'm using chrome on linux and noticed that this year cloudflare is very agressive in showing the "Verify you are a human" box. Now a lot of sites that use cloudflare show it and once you solve the challenge it shows it again after 30 minutes!

What are you protecting cloudflare?

Also they show those captchas when going to robots.txt... unbelievable.

I have Firefox and Brave set to always clear cookies and everything when I close the browser... it is a nightmare when I come back the amount of captchas everywhere....

It is either that or keep sending data back to the Meta and Co. overlords despite me not being a Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp user...

A lack of improvements I could stomach. What bothers me are the regressions! It's getting worse with every update!

Not honoring previous settings, reverting back to whatever is more convenient for Microsoft or trying to push down of our throats Copilot on every single corner might be the most infuriating thing....
