holy shit! you too? where are you, in the boonies? i thought you were civilized. anyway, welcome to my life.
low quality streams will only eat 200-300mb per game. yes they look splotchy but it's like watching an old crt tv in a bar while drunk.
web browsing does not eat a lot if you disable images + turn off video autoplay... but a lot of sites are non-functional these days without images.
youtube at 144p ONLY.
adblock is also your friend. i use safari adblock-- for you, depending on browser.
the biggest eater of data for me have been cloud services-- the iphone that auto-uploads every picture it takes, the spotify that makes offline files available, etc. also, auto-updates, which can eat up to 5GB in one sitting (e.g., a new OSX or iOS is revealed, and blam), all that has to be monitored, turned off, and scheduled manually for optimal use of bandwidth.
ha ha ha ha. i am so familiar w/ this shit, my data use is ultralean.
anyway, don't worry, elon musk is coming to the rescue with a swarm of cheap satellites...
... some years from now.
no games today or tomorrow i believe! restarting wednesday if i'm not wrong. so there's a break.
