When I had this, there was a problem on my ISP's end and they were very reluctant to admit it and fix it, for some reason. Also, are you sure you're actually losing packets, not just having one or more delayed for a very long time? When I had this, my ping table to my ISP looked like this:

Every fifteenth or so packet would take anywhere from 129 to 974 milliseconds to arrive and then it would immediately go back to 15-20. As wonderland said, check if your router isn't the problem by removing it from the equation.

The reason I ask is because I had a drive(HDD, not SSD) which refused to boot dozens of times after my monitor froze on a discoloured and distorted frame, sometimes it would go to black and sometimes it would go to WinRepair. Eventually it booted, I formatted it and reinstalled Windows and it was fine for another few months, then the same thing happened and happened again a few months after that. Eventually it turned out the problem was that an LBA(a sector on the drive) was broken in an unfortunate place. Every time the C drive would get full enough to reach that sector again, it would refuse to boot. I ran a utility program made by the manufacturer and it found out this fact for me and marked it as broken; the drive then just doesn't write to that sector any more and essentially skips it in favour of an undamaged sector. This was 7 or 8 years ago, but the drive is still happily purring away as my secondary storage to this day without any problems since then.

TL;DR If this happens again, try to find a tool which allows you to check for damaged sectors. A long shot, but might save you buying a new drive(though I guess with an SSD this might indicate that it's starting to break).

Before this happened, had your monitor ever got stuck on a (maybe discoloured) frame and eventually gone to black? Do you see a blinking cursor for several seconds on your black screen at any point after POST but before boot?

Congratulations to Froyotech but most of all thank you to everyone involved in the all-round production and to the sponsors+Multiplay. It was even better than last year, again.

Stream starts, pre-game talk, getting hyped! Then they go onto the first midfight...

Yeah, it was a shame they weren't available before i55. I think Dashner, Mana and some other people on the NA side of TFtv were just so busy getting i55 together that it didn't happen, but I also hope they will at least be uploaded later "for posterity". Can't really be disappointed with them considering how hard they've been working to deliver this amazing show to us this weekend; mostly if not completely without material compensation.

That might also be because the team revolves more around B4nny, no matter what class he plays, than it did around Lansky. Of course B4nny is great, but that's not to say he's necessarily doing better than Lansky, because the situation is different now.

Commiserations to Nymthae and her schedule on day 1.

The browser on my phone keeps crashing after I've skipped through a few pages when I'm on TFtv, but on my PC it's absolutely fine. I assumed this was because my phone, OS and browser are old as hell. This started happening just over a day ago.

Even if they didn't, the hackers also acquired credit card numbers. They also acquired information about people who paid Ashley Madison for the option to have their data wiped from their database, which they cleary didn't do; that might actually turn into a lawsuit against them.

All in all, I guess if you shit on those close to you, you end up rolling around in your own shit.

I like how you've written more than John by now and he made a much better and more coherent point in his short post than you have in your multi-part dumpster defence essay.

The reason it's not working unless you pull it out slightly is because you're plugging a TRRS jack(the ones with two rings on them) into a TRS(the ones of which the jacks have one ring on them) socket, which isn't going to ground one of the stereo connectors properly because the connectors on the jack are misaligned with the ones inside the socket. You could try pulling the jack out as far as you possibly can to just disable the microphone because the microphone is often located on the sleeve connector, but I believe the order sometimes changes by manufacturer.

I give up; I see this turning into a public nerd-off with no satisfactory conclusion and I have better things to do.

I would recommend you go see an optician or actually watch footage to begin with.

It is very unsettling to think that a complex like this is allowed to be built with a residential area so close by, but what I find equally worrying is how people keep derpily filming something which is clearly capable of ending your life in a heartbeat without apparently feeling any sense of immediate urgency or danger. Even if you're not very intelligent, you should have a basic instinct to get under cover as much as you can when you see something like this.
