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.

Hiring Marcus Ericsson seems a tad…unambitious.

I already had dozens of reasons to never buy a Jeep. This is just the cherry on a shitty cake.

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.

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.

Not just chips my friend. Pies, sausages, chicken, salmon. Half the cooking time or an oven, better results and a fraction of the energy use.

The hype is real.
