Continuing my recent dark nebula kick, here's Seahorse Nebula, also known as Barnard 150. This area is filled with faint dust, so a LOT of exposure time is required. This is 18 hours so far, but it could probably use double that. I'll be back on it once the moon goes away.
2.4 Gbps over a cellular network? Wow. How's it feel, living in the future? 😀
I have fibre to my house and "only" get 350 Mbps, because their not-quite-gigabit service is crazy expensive. I don't know how much they'd want for 2.4 Gbps, but it probably includes the phrase "and your left <X>".
Net neutrality may be popping up in your tech headlines and social media timelines. ZDNet explains exactly what it is, why the Federal Communications Commission wants to restore it and what it might mean for internet broadband prices.
#WFH increases #workers autonomy, as they're not under constant potential surveillance & work to their own arrangement(s); Managers feel threatened by this avoidance of direct control;
data on WFH seems to indicate workers are happier when hybrid working than when in the office full-time; whatever, they say, managers prefer fearful workers who're easier to manage
I think that's a really good point; occasional long(er) journeys to work does relax some of the geographical pressure... what is interesting then will be the advantage that rural areas with vg #broadband gain, and what that will mean for further distortion of local/village pricing for locals... our village (which has excellent community broadband) has already seen locals' children largely proved out of the village by incomers able to e-commute
Looks like City Fibre is finally connected in my area. Only found out by accident. Do I want to move broadband provider though? Probably not right now. #Internet#Fibre#Glasgow#UK#Broadband
The authors find that over 5 years, the #StarLink project would emit between ~0.5 and 1 tonne CO2eq per subscriber, and up to ~3 t CO2eq / subscriber for #Amazon's #Kuiper project. Those values are 31-91 times HIGHER than eq. terrestrial #mobile#broadband.
#broadband issues with #plusnet this evening, which turn out to be resolvable by switching the router's upstream DNS servers from Plusnet's own to a public provider like Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) or Quad9 (9.9.9.9). I prefer not to use Google because they don't need to know my DNS queries.
As everyone who has ever worked IT Ops/infra knows.... it's always #dns.
A massive coalition of more than 300 broadband policy experts and organizations have written a letter to the U.S. government.
The letter warns that smaller broadband providers, nonprofits, and municipalities will be elbowed out of an historic $42.5 billion broadband grant program without some notable changes to program rules.
So our power was out for two days after #Idalia barely touched us. #Xfinity supplies us with #Broadband because #Monopoly. They unplugged their neighborhood infrastructure from commercial power and into a #HarborFreight generator this morning. This evening, power was restored (#ThanksUtilityHeros) and the Harbor Freight generator ran out of fuel. What kinds of laws am I breaking if I get a ladder and plug Comcast back into the grid?
Does anyone have experience with Hyperoptic please? Looking at their 1gb fibre internet in the marina for the narrowboat, but their pre-sales 'support' is shockingly bad so far 🙄 #hyperoptic#broadband#internet#narrowboat
Officials in Loveland and Timnath, Colo ratify an Inter-Governmental Agreement that will bring ubiquitous, affordable high-speed Internet access to yet another community in the Centennial State
An increasing number of Colorado cities and towns are embracing municipal #broadband after years of frustration with the inadequate, high-priced service from the region’s monopoly incumbents
oh no. #netflix is shutting down its whole physical DVD rental program that the company was originally based on and that resulted in putting nearly all local DVD rental places out of business.
While most may say "so what?" this is a huge blow to people in #rural areas. Lack of #broadband means streaming is out. And netflix already put local rental places out of business. The future for them is an entertainment desert.
