Of course he doesn't want that, he strengthened Hamas specifically so there would be no single clear entity in the PNA with which he would have to negotiate for a two state solution. Except he underestimated Hamas and they became too strong. I don't understand what his current theory of victory is though... annexing Gaza?

Regular bathing isn't what you want, frequent bathing, that's important. What good is it if someone bathes with great regularity on the first of every month?

The way you use "PC" as a synonym for "Windows" proves that you are indeed a long term Mac user.

87% of teenagers use Apple

Do you mean US American teenagers, or North American teenagers, or who exactly? Surely that can't be global?

That depends on where those bytes go, though. There is also the concept of "settlement-free peering" and content caches that are located in the ISP network.

For example we have a Google Global Cache instance in our network, so most Google traffic is served from there and we don't pay anyone per byte, we only pay for the power and space. Same for Akamai. Then for Microsoft, Cloudflare and Facebook we have peering links, where we can send and receive data related to their services freely, without balance requirements.

Of course this is only possible for larger networks (peering with everyone is not feasible) and we still pay for the other traffic, but it takes care of a lot of the volume.

Actually it's about 2/3 c, the refractive index of normal telco fibers (G.652 and G.655) is around 1.47

The breakthrough isn’t things moving faster but more fibers per cable.

No, it's actually more cores per fiber, and using those very well for space division multiplexing on top of the normal wavelength division multiplexing. They are talking about 22.9 Pb/s per fiber, not cable, the Tom's Hardware article is just wrong.

Cables can already contain hundreds of fibers, for example 576 here or into the thousands if you use stacks of ribbon cables in the subunits, for example 3456 here

It does say "Credit: Microsoft Designer / DALL-E 3"

If there was no DRM we wouldn't need to trust anyone to undo it.

Or if that emergency release of the DRM was a contractual guarantee we had at point of purchase, we'd also need less trust.

That's a good policy. As long as the right people are still around to enforce it, it's a little reassuring.

Good as always for me. The only issue is syncing contacts and calenders with MS-Exchange Servers, for that you need plugins and I haven't really found a good combination, but I don't know if my workplace is at fault too.
