Ah I can see how it can be read that way! Sorry. Maybe I messed up the commas again. I’m perpetually confused because the rules are different in English and German.

Did you misread? They wrote “the only reason left to boot from a DVD”, so the use case you replied with has nothing to do with the topic.

I’m a bit confused, I explicitly wrote J.D. Vance, why would you assume Trump? :-D

He had the whole book taking up his Appalachian heritage didn’t he? The end of my comment was of course sarcastic, because all he’s doing is betraying rural America including the Appalachians.

Actually I remember reading a few weeks ago that BEAD money was cut. At the time I was thinking the Appalachians are gonna thank that one person who’s totally one of them and their friend, J.D. Vance, for that.

Terabit per second speed is not impressive for backbone links. I could go to the office tomorrow and grab all the stuff needed to install one on our line through the alps, just by bundling 3 links of 400 Gbit/s with stuff we already have, and I’m working for a small to medium ISP.

What you are likely referring to, is the 1 Pbit/s over 1800 km demonstration that NICT presented at the OFC this year. That’s impressive.
