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.

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)

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

Can’t his boyfriend drive the car

when you need to descent from a high altitude in petrol car you have to remember to keep high gear and not to burn breaks

I thought you kept a lower gear to better control the speed. Have I been driving wrong all this time¿?

Shows that toyota is behind others in the EV game because it lacks the real world feedback that others have from older EVs.
