Victorianox

It's called Victorinox, from "Victor-" from Victoria, the founders Mother, and "-inox" from "acier inoxydable", i.e., non-oxidizing steel.

When I get a call at home while already wearing my wired headset I like to just plug it into the phone.

Since my current phone was bought used I had to compromise on some things, so I don't have a headphone jack anymore. I use a USB-C Adapter now. I use it for most phone calls, especially the longer ones with family. So probably for a few hours per month.

For quite a long time, until about 2021, I was still using wired headphones when on the go, but nowadays I'm addicted to noise cancelling, so that use case has moved to Bluetooth now. My protective headsets from work (both the over-ear and the in-ear set) also use Bluetooth.

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?

For perspective, at work for our production network through Switzerland, we use at most 16 QAM with dual-polarization, and at most 88 channels (except we never utilize more than maybe 10). With just normal single mode single core fibers. This paper has just everything blown up in all directions of cool.

Yes, to get their speeds they used the usual wavelength division multiplexing, except over an insane 750 wavelength channels, space division multiplexing over the 38 corse with 3 modes, and 256 QAM with dual-polarization in each

I think that both hollow core fibers filled with air and others with just vacuum exist, but it's a bit far from my operational reality, so I'm not that sure. I just read in industry news that euNetworks has deployed 45 km of Lumenisity hollowcore fiber and that Microsoft bought Lumensity

The financial types are generally more interested in hollow core fiber, to get their latencies even further down for high frequency trading. Because light travels at almost c in hollow core but only at 2/3 c in fiber core.

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.

Thank you!

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