Articles like these are scary. Now that mainstream news is speaking on these issues, it means there is a higher chance that the government/big tech corporations may step in to enforce stricter anti piracy measures which will also erode privacy and freedom

This has got a scary amount of up votes, especially considering that this is the 'technology' community.
Radiowaves are also 'light' and infact as many others have mentioned so eloquently, light travelling through air is faster than light travelling through glass. The reasons why fiber is better are - better stability because of lower packet loss and interference, better efficiency because of lower attenuation and losses due to diffusion, reflection, and other processes when traveling in a fiber optic cable, and more bandwidth because we can use more favourable frequencies in optic cables (@qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website explains it perfectly in another reply to the parent comment)
F2 showed that even that is not a guarantee. The track is not meant for 'racing'. The narrowness which makes it interesting during quali hinders it for the race
Knobs and buttons are nowadays similar in cost to just plonking in a screen and putting all the controls there. That is why manufacturers are doing it not just because it 'feels premium'.
Very few people ~~don't~~ buy sedans or hot hatches. We are a vocal minority here on Lemmy. Most people don't care much about driving dynamics, efficiency and other shit that enthusiasts care about. They want more interior space, better 'road presence' (whatever the fuck that means) and higher ground clearance.
An SUV shaped car is box shaped and so it has better headroom, better legroom and looks big with bigger top body and higher ground clearance. People flock to buy it.
It is a shame because SUVs don't come anywhere close to the driving dynamics and fun that sedans or hot hatches bring. To me, a sedan looks far more elegant than SUVs ever can while hot hatches look more sporty than SUVs ever can
So this lifespan figure is for running a battery to 0% state of health?
Where did you get the price figure from? I want to read more into it
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
How do stroll and ocon have more points than sainz and hadjar
Verstappen proving once again that if the cars are similarly paced, he makes the difference. One of the craziest turn 1 moves that I have ever seen
The car was not slow. He was at the same pace as the McLarens
Again the latency might be not better for fiber. But the difference is small and the other factors are much better so the experience with fiber is a lot more stable .
I do not expect most people to know that non visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum is also similar to visible light. But on technology community on what is a niche enthusiast heavy platform (Lemmy), I expect people to know better to than to upvote something that is blatantly wrong.
