China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds

Written in Switzerland from my 25GBps symmetric connection (for like 60$/month) that I have for a couple of years 🤷‍♂️

Also for personal use the difference between 1Gbps and 25 (or, I guess, 100GBps) is essentially zero… your everyday connection is via WiFi (good luck to get more than 1GBps there) or on a home server/NAS/workstation where likely you run batch jobs where the difference between 1 minute or 5 minutes is not a huge deal (and yes I am not saying 1 vs 25 because at that speed generally the bottleneck is the place where you are getting data from)

'Our long-term objective is to make printing a subscription' says HP CEO gunning for 2024's Worst Person of the Year award | Not satisfied with merely bricking printers, HP now wants to own them al...

How much I would love if EU pulled a USB-C on printer ink/toner.

“All printers must be compatible with one of these X possible formats of ink/toner. Lockdown is forbidden too”

Sure the printers would be more expensive but I am sure we would see an incredible improvement in quality and decrease in ink/toner cost

Learning to program in rust

Call me a weirdo but the more errors a compilers give me the happier (albeit a bit frustrated) I am. That stuff generally surfaces in a way or another… and I prefer at compile time 🙂

That said I haven’t spent quality time with Rust yet… so not sure if there are a lot of nitpicks (ala go) or these are valgrind-level of “holy s*** I am so grateful to this tool” 😃
