Figuring out your bandwidth requirements is easy but not totally stupid easy.
If you're going to pull down 4K video on demand figure you're going to need at least 25mpbs
Now if it's just you on the network and you never try to do two things at once that would be more than enough.
But now let's say you were trying to pull down one of those ISOs while you're trying to watch 4K Netflix. If you know what you're doing and you can such same limits in your apps you could probably get away with 50 megabit per second. Now if you have a family and multiple people trying to watch different 4K streams, that 25 multiplies.
Now if somebody is trying to be on a zoom call while somebody else is streaming and somebody else's downloading and ISO, things start to compound and you don't want the zoom call to suffer. The thing is you've got as much of a chance of overburdening your routers capabilities as you do burning through your bandwidth.
Then consider your Wi-Fi, unless you spend a whole lot of money on your equipment you're not getting any more than around 350 MB per second per device on Wi-Fi. If you're wired, of course you can eat the whole gig.
A reasonably fast starting point for a small family is probably around 100 mbps.
Steam can give you hundreds of megabits per second but it doesn't always it depends on where the data is hosted. Torrents can easily saturate as much as you want to give them If you are going after a popular piece of media.
Looking at my internet history for the past 24 hours with four people in the house and one of them almost constantly watching YouTube I had a couple of peaks around 70 mbps My peak utilization over the past 24 hours is about 8% with an average utilization of 2%.
More than likely you are 350 is more than enough to handle whatever you need unless you really need to have very very very large files very very quickly or have more than five people streaming at your house.

At my old house I picked up pager traffic on a software defined radio and decoded it. Everything I've ever seen has been unencrypted.
Basically the pulses come from the towers the first X number of pulses are the address kind of like the phone number for the pager. All pagers listen to all pulses and just ignore the ones that aren't addressed to them.

The Green party is doing exactly what it was designed to do. It's siphoning off eco-conscious Democratic voters just significantly enough to affect voting margins but not enough to win. To be clear I'm not saying that Even a significant number of people in the green party have that as a goal, but top down, that's all it's about.
We are a two-party system and they are allowing the green party to exist to use it as a wedge.

Saying the internet was better is a haze of nostalgia, a gross underappreciation of new technologies, and a smattering of truth.
Over 38% of the stuff I flush down the toilet is gone forever, too, and that's ok.
The early Internet was interesting only because it was new and different. Most of the stuff out there was low-quality stuff just for funsies projects. The barrier to entry is still very low. Anyone who wants to put up a website with whatever they're interested in requires no technical expertise and isn't even expensive. But you don't see a lot of that because it's not new or exciting and few people are going to waste their time on it. On the upside, you can now throw up your own federated content system with relatively little work and have a huge community for very very little. Things are gone chiefly because they weren't worth saving. Sure, there are exceptions like DPReview, but they even got a reprieve because they were worth keeping.
Before the advent of filter bubbles, the internet was a creative playground where people explored different ideas, discussed varying perspectives, and collaborated with individuals from “outgroups” – those outside their social circles who may hold opposing views.
And how did anyone find those varying perspectives? Everything was unindexed, even search engines were crap. Fark, Digg and Slashdot, link aggregators and forums are the same as they've always been. Are the majority of those conversations gone? Sure, but you can find another 25,000 of them on Reddit, x, Instagram, and Lemmy, and when those are gone, some other service will replace them.
If people are moving to algo-driven social media, it's because they perceive it as advantageous to them. I found the algo ate too much of my time and moved back to diverse and static youtube clients.

Did I say prison? Because I'm pretty fucking sure I didn't say prison.
We don't need bounty hunters in society. Using a bounty hunter to recover someone's property who didn't pay for it is the worst, well second worst outcome.
Right now there is no straightforward repercussion for it. If you sign up for a loan to buy a car you sign up for an agreement to pay a bank. A car is not a primary possession they are allowed to recover their product. They are allowed to hire some lowlife who can afford a tow truck to come and try to steal it from you. We're just begging for people to shoot people.
How about the company who owns the truck gets a warrant to recover the truck, you hand over the truck, or you go to jail to await trial and post bail if you can. There's simply no freaking way you can say that that's better than hiring a bounty hunter to come and steal your shit.

You assholes love to put words in people's mouths.
Prison is a f****** overshot in any range of the imagination.
What's better threaten somebody with jail so they surrender their vehicle in peace or hire a bounty hunter to go and f****** steal it from them? The idea of a repo man is just absolute bullshit and you all know it. You already can't take someone's primary residence so they're already on the f****** hook for repossession of non essentials only. I'm just abdicating that it's better to use a warrant than it is to use some unqualified racist asshole that bought a used tow truck.
Bounty hunters have no place in society.

The Statue of Unity is the world's tallest statue, with a height of 182 metres (597 feet), located near Kevadia in the state of Gujarat, India. It depicts Indian statesman and independence activist Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950), who was the first deputy prime minister and home minister of independent India... The project was first announced in 2010, and construction started in October 2013 ... with a total construction cost of ₹27 billion (US$422 million). It was designed by Indian sculptor Ram V. Sutar and was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, on 31 October 2018, the 143rd anniversary of Patel's birth.

Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule. Evolving independently of the rest of the living world, these microbes exist in a place with no light or free oxygen and little heat, and are essentially the definition of “primordial ooze.” The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the waterfall its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within.

The Crooked Forest (Polish: Krzywy Las) is a grove of oddly-shaped pine trees located in the village of Nowe Czarnowo near the town of Gryfino, West Pomerania, in north-western Poland. It is a protected natural monument of Poland. This grove of 400 pines was planted in around 1930. Each pine tree bends sharply to the north, just above ground level, then curves back upright after a sideways excursion of one to three meters (3–9 feet). The curved pines are enclosed by a surrounding forest of straight pine trees. It is generally believed that some form of human tool or technique was used to make the trees grow or bend this way, but the method has never been determined, and remains a mystery to this day. It has been speculated that the trees may have been deformed to create naturally curved timber for use in furniture or boat building. Others surmise that a snowstorm could have bent the trunks, but there is little evidence of that. Many people have been trying to find an answer to this mystery, but since the town of Gryfino was largely abandoned between the early stages of World War II until the 1970s, the people who were there before the war and probably had the answer to the mystery of the Crooked Forest are now likely gone forever. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crooked_Forest
