- Comment on What American small talk sounds like to European 🇪🇺 1 week ago:
I’m a Brit. I was in Italy recently, and oh my fucking god, American girls are so fucking annoying. I’m sure they are as sincere as anyone, but the many conversations I overheard sounded so basic and vacuous.
It got to a point where I was convinced the same group of early 20-somethings were going to all the same places that we were.

Yup, for me it’s Sync. And Sync is doing a decent enough job of bringing me Lemmy content.

All the laptops I have owned over the last 10 years have a mechanical shutter to cover the camera. None have been Dell.
- Comment on The End of an Era: Exploring the Final Sony MiniDisc Walkman Models 2 months ago:
MD was superior to CD from a portability point of view, especially in personal players like the Walkman or car stereos.
I had a MD car stereo in around 1997. CD quality sound, without the jumping of a CD every time you hit a pothole.

- Comment on China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds 2 months ago:
I work on PON and XGPON. Officially we work on a -25dB maximum, but I’ve seen circuits stable at around 30dB.
It’s surprising how many bad splices you can ignore before it gets problematic.
-18.5dB is going to limit you to either a really good fibre path, or a really short one. Unless you have options with long-range SFPs? The constant progress keeps my job interesting at least.
- Comment on China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds 2 months ago:
This is for PON technology. 1 fibre can be split 32-ways to feed, you guessed it, 32 customers. 50g over a fibre that is split 32-ways with a minimum of 15db loss is impressive.
I guarantee those 100gbps circuits are a single fibre all the way from the provider to the customer. And they are expensive, very expensive.
