Hm, I should move into a university PC lab:

The ISP name should be 'Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universit?t Frankfurt'.>

Speedtest run via VNC. A locally executed test would likely see a somewhat higher result.

This is to all you who got over 10mbps

:angry: ~RAGE~ :angry:

i actually pay for shaw basic cable, which is a 5meg connection, then the recently doubled there basic connection speeds to 10meg, ANNNNNNDDDD they now include speed boost, which means for the first 15 seconds of a download i have 30+meg. which is why my stats are at 25.

Phafetic for me, I usually get 8mb/s with around 800kb/s upload :(

I think my ISP (talk talk [opal telecom]) have capped my speed as ive used my 40gb a month usage. Cant wait until the contract ends in 8 months (dad stupidly resigned with my ISP for another year). I will switch to virgin media instantly once the current contract has ended and virgin media can get their heads out their arse and can be bothered for fibre optics in my area :p

Plus I have a telephone exchange 2 doors away from me!

Seriously dont know how I'm gunna play COD4 MP PC on this speed :laugh:

looks like comcast may have upgraded my download speed.

Pray explain how 1.5Mbps upload is 'crappy'.

speedtest measures in MEGABITS/s not megabytes. For example I get 5 mb/s in the test with comcast and that's around 200/300 kb/s actual upload, and his is even less than that.

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
