websites actually load faster marcel frein beekler a web dev from austria did
some speed tests loading the us and european versions of websites because
companies have had to disable things like ads and user trackers to comply
with the new rules their sites are much smaller in size leading to massive
decreases in loading time on the eu site versus the us version by as much as 40
seconds fryin beekler also tested with an ad blocker enabled and the eu version
was still significantly faster props to lulz on the forum for bringing the story
to attention because i couldn't find many articles talking about it the internet could be so fast without all
these trackers clogging up the tubes then you'd also save money from not
paying internet tube on cloggers the high-end ones are pricey last week the

to have some potentially reality defying
specs on chinese social site weibo vice president chan chang posted that the

all-screen phone which would require the camera to be under the screen somehow
the z5 will apparently also have a 45 day standby time which is ludicrous by
today's standards and come with four terabytes of internal storage
that last one has got to be a mistranslation but we'll find out the
real details on june 5th when lenovo officially unveils the phone and if
these specs are true changes the technological landscape
