China launches world’s fastest internet with 1.2 terabit per second link, can transmit 150 4K movies a second::China is claiming that they now have the world’s fastest internet. Their new network transmits 1.2 terabits per second. That’s over 1200 gigabits, per second. At this speed, the network will be able to send 150 4K movies in less than a second. Furthermore, it can send all of Netflix’s global content
Saving you a click: You can download Netflix’s entire library in under half an hour, but you still can’t watch two men kiss.
More like you could download the entire Netflix library if you could ping it
This new network will only allow you to Xi Jinping it.
The storage capacity this needs…
I wanna see that infrastructure! I need to see it in person!
When I see these pro-China pieces, I remember that Chinese citizens can’t speak freely, exercise political will, or breathe clean air. As well as China’s actions towards the annexation/militarization of surrounding waters, erasure of Tibetan and Uyghuar cultures, and propagation of destabilizing online propaganda.
All true. They have their own version of this though.
“When I see pro American pieces, I remember that their citizens are obese and undereducated, or subjugated by centuries old race caste system and incarcerated at very high rates. Their schools are failing, their cities are riddled with crime, their infrastructure is crumbling, half of them hate the other half, and they wield imperial control around the world with their military, killing a million Iraqis to secure their oil.”
I’m sure they’d love to come live in the US though. Lines at the US visa offices in China have been enormous.
Funny thing is, I don’t see articles that say “America launches (best AI thing / fastest chip / 5g bs)” … just the company (usually international) that did the work.
Also all true, sadly. I’m so lucky to be European, although it’s not paradise here, either. But still…
After everything Europe did in the 20th century I think y’all best just keep quiet for about a century. “Not paradise…” Jesus.
Bully for your grand government benefits package. Huzzah. Meanwhile the rest of the world is still unwinding your colonial legacy and world wars. What’s that? You have a hot war going on now? Im so lucky to be a Californian.
I don’t think I get your point
You gonna be okay?
Fuck right off. Seriously, fuck off. It’s none of our faults, everyone involved is fucking dead or certainly not on Lemmy.
You can take your misdirected feelings and shove them right up your stupid ass.
You just emptied your fuck gun at me but watch me raise one hand like Neo and drop them on the floor.
The comment I replied to is like an American showing up to a thread about slavery and saying “gee! That’s awful! I’m so glad I’m an American!”
You don’t brag about your just-recently-overcome legacy of horror. I will shit on Euro smugness every time, because here’s what it says:
“We raped the world of resources and slaves for centuries but we took all that wealth and built nice social democracies for ourselves! Aren’t we lucky!”
No sir, you can fuck right off.
Maybe don’t brag about your social programs when they’re funded by hundreds of years of rape and pillage? Idk, just an idea
On second though nah you’re right, your continent is super enlightened now that it gave up colonization less than a hundred years ago
Let’s all step back and be glad we’re not in China or Russia.
In about 60 years we’re gonna see Russians in here acting all smug about the shit they were able to buy with wealth their country stole from Ukraine
Not that I think your point makes any sense but it’s a bit rich coming from a US American
Check my post history, find a single example of me bragging about the United States, I dare you.
“but whatabout”
Slamming into the great firewall faster than ever?
Haha thanks for the good chuckle
Don’t worry, bandwidth will still be shit because of all the spy funnels and filters traffic is run through
149 camera feeds of the person watching the 1 video should be enough no?
Internet implies that multiple separate networks can all use this link at 1.2 tbps. This is not the case.
But I guess no externally routable Internet address?
What a horribly written article. I think I read the same thing 4 or 5 times. Just padding I guess to fill the available bandwidth?
Lol thanks for the heads up
Now I want a fiber optic keyboard cleaning brush
it’s probably just an internal link
Internet in China is basically a giant intranet.
Let me read this article from my made in China iPhone.
Great, now websites will get even more bloated.
China’s economy is set up for these headlines, government bodies are spending hard on infrastructure and sometimes it’s good (roads, bridges, dams, most of them have a long term value to a region) and sometimes it’s overbuilt, like the small/medium city with two airports.
They want the implication to be “China has the best internet, thus China is the best place to go for my internet company” or something like that. But they are intentionally overbuilding for a future state that may never come, just like the small/medium city with two airports.
It’s great to invest in infrastructure, but other things count too, and there are diminishing returns at some level of development.
Sorry that you’re getting down voted for facts
