I was disappointed when the other thread got locked only because it meant I didn't have a place to post this light-hearted and defusing bit of satire on Jon Ossoff.
It has been KFC’s thing for years - in my circle of friends, no one talks about how they enjoy hospital food mashed potatoes, or how the Mac and cheese tastes like styrofoam, or weird KFC/Taco Bell horror mashups.
It’s always the weird marketing crap like the chicken sandwich with chicken for the buns. Or the KFC romance novel. Or the KFC fireplace logs.

Combination of this week's patch and uninstalling my drivers and doing a clean install boosted performance. 1440p, 1070. Went from sluggish at low to very smooth. Mostly medium, some things are bumped up to high.
Just put this beauty in my garage.
She's dangerously fast and paired with the KITT like autodriving, tends to smash into things when I summon it.
Bikes are super fast. Gotta be careful going over bumps, it will send you airborne.
It's good to know that in the year 2077, Adriano Zumbo is alive and well in the hipster part of the city.
Camera mode is nice, but it's got some clunky controls. The movement is a bit limited. Also a bit of a bummer that futzing with f.stop just looks like cell phone portrait mode.
For PS4 users, I wonder if rebuilding the database would help with some of that pop in stuff. From a few YT videos, it looks like assets just aren't loading in quick enough. Some folks swapped their HDDs out for SSDs or 7200 RPM drives, but the base PS4 HD is what... 5400 RPM?
Don't think it'll help any with frame rate, but seeing performance on a 2070 on a HDD vs my 1070 on an NVME drive, they get LOD loading delays where mine just switches over instantly.
Wow. Huh. This is larger than a lot of folk's SSDs. Even with a 500 GB SSD, having 340GB as a requirement to unpack is an interesting choice.
And a 2080 and 9700k min spec? This may have made sense when 3060tis are plentiful, but when you can't get a 2080 or 30xx series card, that's an interesting choice.
Maybe EA has the metrics that shows that X% of people with a headset have this level of hardware, but this is taking a niche market and saying, "Hey, let's make this niche thing even more exclusive."
And most importantly, with a hardware requirement leap like this, do they have a booze in a bottle simulation that's better than what we see in Half Life Alyx?
I just tried it on that exact video. I did not let it finish as I have a Zoom meeting in a few minutes (and I already have this one downloaded) I did pull down 2 GB of the file at between 4/MB and 5/MB per second which is pretty much how I have my 2.4ghz network set up. I usually pull these files down on my Plex box which is hard wired and not capped, and I can start a HD download, get a soda, refresh my Plex library.
You mentioned an AT&T hotspot. Unlimited data or not, I have a feeling if you're in a certain % of bandwidth used, they will start to throttle you. If you're regularly pulling down 6GB files, I have a feeling it's AT&T throttling you. It looks like 55GB is the highest threshold I can find before they may start throttling.
Maybe AT&T just never enforced a bandwidth cap on you until recently and certain types of traffic are exempt from throttling? Or you're getting throttled now because usage of hotspots in your area has increased?
