Yeah, it's not terminated in your computer though for all the reasons I said.

No it's not? Fiber is a bad solution for short runs for residential use inside people's homes. Copper can pull 10 gig speeds or more.

Not on your computer though

There are a lot of very good reasons to switch back to copper for the last portion of a run. I highly doubt that consumer internet in Japan is terminating fiber directly into peoples' computers. Fiber is a lot more expensive both for the line, to run it, more prone to breakage, the network cards are more expensive, etc. It's really not needed for most purposes.

Also no one uses cat3 for data and it can't be run for 'hundreds of feet'. And LC fiber IS used in the US - that's a kind of connector not the kind of fiber.

We tend to get one week of this kind of weather a year and the rest of the time it's in the 40s for winter. The one week is colder than usual this year though.

Gotta say I'm really looking forward to waiting for the light rail for up to 26 minutes with temps in the teens.

You really defending the Taliban?

Yeah, you're supposed to wait until you actually have a user base to enshittify it.

If you have proper full continuous deployment infrastructure setup then you can do minor updates of things like dependencies automatically. I'd guess that's what's happening here.

Our telemetry shows 80% of users never install any add-ons” i.e. the telemetry that any tech savvy person immediately turns off because they don’t want their browser spying on them and about which we have also complained numerous times.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Usage numbers are part of how they pay for ongoing support and development though.
