Luke not having any context, and not caring about a random droids message, that makes sense

But f****** Obi-Wan should be more impacted by being explicitly called out

It did feel weird they saw the message and didnt react to it

If your pirating a show you like, your viewer numbers don’t contribute to keeping it going.

The merchandise getting pulled was probably for tax reasons. If your going to write off the entire project as a loss you don’t want anymore revenue being booked to it. Same reason Disney memory holes some streaming shows when the numbers don’t survive.

100% agreed.

The only reason the political debate surrounds the show is because people are invested in the universe… Fans basically. If people didn’t like the universe they wouldn’t care about or watch any of the political debates concerning the show.

The very fact a huge cottage industry exists critiquing the show means there is a huge fan base for it.

If the existing audience doesn’t like the new show, and a new audience isn’t pulled in to replace them, then your going to have a money problem.

I’m glad, and impressed, Disney is taking big creative risks, that’s great, that’s how we get new stories and franchises. Sometimes those risks don’t pan out, we shouldn’t be upset with the fans when that happens.

Really well said

What country are you in? China?

Go to mullvad settings and choose random ports

Try 53, 80, 443 etc

Try mullvad use different ports, use their circumvention approaches.

Use your cell phone mobile data

Talk to the hotel, tell them you cannot connect to your corporate vpn, ask if they have a workaround

The one good thing about streaming services like Disney+ is that they have the platform metrics, and they can push shows against audiences and get watch metrics, retention metrics, etc from a large group of viewers. i.e. any online media storms can be weathered by good data of how the show is really performing.

The focus on anti-woke messaging from the show creatives seems like a rhetorical tool, if its the strongest message they have about the property that is what they are going to do to bring attention to it. If you have positive reviews, you talk about the reviews. If you have strong view numbers you talk about the viewer numbers. Since silence is the worst thing for a media property, if you have nothing else you talk about controversy real or imagined. Is there real anti-woke messaging for this show, sure, but like the standard background level you get on anything; is it the most interesting and important aspect of this show? Apparently - otherwise why would the creatives be talking about it?

The rhetoric escalation tree reveals uncomfortable truths. Woke/AntiWoke doesn’t matter, only if it makes money, if it makes money, it gets another season.

I’m just trying to understand the rational. To me I downvote when the comment is against the community, or unproductive.

If I’m being a net negative I should know why! Usually I have a guess as to why, but when I don’t, I reach out so I can understand better. I do want lemmy to be a better place, so feedback is useful.

I get a lot of downvotes. I realize I say things that can be divisive. Why are people downvoting debugging steps? What’s divisive about that…

Are your phones on the same network? Same vlan? Firewall rules? VPN?

Does tcpdump on the server see the request?

If you want a ton of fun, you can build it yourself!

Andor is so well written, you could change the name, not reference the star wars franchise at all - people who never watched star wars and knew nothing about it could watch it, enjoy it, and have a blade runner like experience and be really happy.

That is so unique for modern star wars properties!

I think Andor is amazing, and appeals to a broader audience than the current Star wars conveyor belt. Unfortunately because it is different, the current core fan base may not get what they want, no cameos, no lightsaber fights, but I think that’s a good thing. You have to show people that Star wars is sophisticated again. And that’s going to take a little bit of time. Really happy it got greenlit for season 2

Depends on your use case there are multiple factors that guide internet use cases

• Latency - how fast
• Bandwidth - how wide/much
• Loss - how much data is lost, or how much data needs to be sent again

Gaming: latency, loss

YouTube/movies: bandwidth

Video chat/voice chat: latency, bandwidth

Remote desktop/game streaming: latency, bandwidth, loss

Web browsing: bandwidth, latency

DNS latency can be a multiplier for browsing the web, a website can include artifacts from other websites, which then can include other websites, which then can include other websites. Each one of those would require another DNS lookup, and round trip time to the website itself etc. however, DNS was architected for local caching, so only the first lookup should be slow, and then afterwards you should keep that DNS information for future lookups so it’s not going to feel too bad once you’ve warmed up the cache

Rule of thumb: under 100ms feels fine, over starts to feel a little sluggish. Over 300ms and you change your behaviors, and you really feel it.

standardization is amazing, one data source, and one graphing engine, now you can overlay different metrics from different systems and have very customized dashboards.
