Thanks for the message - It is meant to read "rising to" in comparison to the previous peak-hour speed of 150kbps.

In that Nokia 8110 4G – The “Matrix Phone” Reloaded piss-take, please DO place it in a draw per the line "The fact that this phone’s forefather was in The Matrix, however, means we did not merely place it in a draw." (sic) Or if you're not going to delight the crowd here and put it in a draw, maybe just put it in a drawer?

"ICASA certification takes time, with reporting a 7 week turn-around for the certification of the , which was launched in February of 2017."

The month and year is wrong, The Pi3 B+ came out in March 2018, not Feb 2017. Also missing something between the comma "certification of the , which was launched"

Ah, now the context of the article makes sense, refering to the pi zero wireless that did launch in Feb 2017. Yes, adblocker was on .

MyBB should just demand that all their writers have Grammarly installed. Many of these mistakes would never slip through its fingers.

 

[RedViking]

^^ It seems like those who check the grammar should do the same.

'Some people insist that none can only take a singular verb, never a plural verb: none of them is coming tonight rather than none of them are coming tonight. There is little justification for this view: none has been used for around a thousand years with both a singular and a plural verb, depending on the context and the emphasis needed.' ~ COED

Sub-optimal Wi-Fi connections can be due to low-powerful hardware or bad placement of your wireless router.

"Microsoft first gave a sneak peak into its collaboration with XRDP in February, when it called for Windows Insider programme participants to help test Enhanced Session Mode. " - 'peak' - really, when the link SHOWS 'peek'? Just how blind/etcetera is Staff (ha) Writer?
