No datacaps in LA at least. I'm surprised they do datacaps anywhere in the country. Isn't that just third world crap?

I'm gonna take a guess and say maybe Google will launch a nationwide internet service with no caps or throttles. Maybe package it with Stativia as a bundle.

You mean like Google Fiber? That thing they've already cancelled?

Like that is the thing that can not be stressed enough. Google isn't a 'tech company'. They are absolutely poo poo as a tech company. They are mediocre at most forms of coding. They are a data gathering resource for large corporations. They exist to sell your information to other corporations to exploit for profit. That's all they have. They are absolutely, positively terrible at everything else.

They just got so much money whoring data that it gave them an inflated sense of self worth. They have never made a single thing of value in the entire run of their corporation. That's impressive when you think about it.

They're an advertisement company

Though Page Rank was pretty good, people forget how lovely search engines used to be

Game studios are always going to ship games that have a billion shaders enabled and crazy poly's and have a high level producer who decides that 30fps is worth keeping all of the dynamic dongs rather than prebaking them to run at 60 when you're in that Forest of Dongs level.

All games will only run at 60 if a console maker demands it, and in reality they'd give waivers on it like they do for many rules.

That sounds explicitly like they're ending Stadia aside from life support

Yeah, sounds like they're going to see if they can license the tech (which had good pieces) as something separate from the omnishambles platform they built on top of the streaming
