Call of Duty: Modern Warfare fix causes Xbox owners more headaches
The makers of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare say they have "resolved" a problem that caused updates to the video game to be more than twice the size they should have been.
But several players who have tried to take advantage of the fix have reported being worse off as a consequence. The initial issue led some Xboxes to start downloading an 85 gigabyte file that should have been about 40GB. And some who cancelled this to try again have lost their main game file. As a consequence they have had to download the entire title from scratch, entailing a download of more than 100GB.:face_with_tears_of_joy:
Updating games on consoles always sucked.
this is still true...

Speaking of odd designs between Sony and Microsoft.
Sony: Anything you can do I can do better
... I can do anything better than you
Microsoft: No, you can't
Sony: Yes, I can
Microsoft: No, you can't
Sony: Yes, I can
Microsoft: No, you can't
Sony: Yes, I can, yes, I can -

Also changing the term blacklist and whitelist. I’m wondering if Pi-Hole is considering renaming blacklist and whitelist too?

In the main navigation, it says Whitelist and Blacklist and also within those menu too.

I mean to what they might be changed. Allow/Deny is classic UNIX terminology.

This means the US now ranks near the bottom of the third world in Internet speeds and protections. You can get better speeds, for cheaper, in remote third world locations pretty easily.

Nope, that is not even remotely true. Not even in the Dominican Republic, they do this in the Dominican republic and there is still dial up and DSL which does not get even close to this. Price is also a big issue as well.

You're kind of ignoring that a lot of areas in the US only have access to dial-up and satellite. The costs is exuberant as well.

@coliver oh I know that, but still you cannot compare to a third world country just because of that... It is what it is, if you are not close to a city internet most often than not is precarious and yes the ISP providers on those locations take advantage of that and take huge profits...
