Their advantage is a critical mass of people who aren't willing to sacrifice their comfort by rocking the boat.

The people have always had the ability to rise up and form a better system. They just don't, unless there's literally no other option.

And when the people do rise up, the psychopaths just go into hiding until they can worm their way back to the top again. They're a cancer, and likely our Great Filter

Nah, most people have an ISP provided router and have everything on WiFi.

People with a homelab and home network capable of 10gbps are a vast minority.

It's not an immediate need since I don't have a rack installed yet, but it's essential to my planned network architecture.

I still have more fiber runs to pull, and that has to wait till fall.

I also converted my gaming rig into a hypervisor.

But I think they meant more along the lines of me running a 10gbps switch.

I literally asked for a network switch for my birthday a few days ago. Although it's a 16x sfp+ switch for my home fiber rollout.

I didn't get it because it didn't go on sale and I told my mom not to. Although I suspect she didn't listen to me and got it for Christmas (it's impossible to tell her not to get a present she knows you want, and also to not spend the budget she set aside).

Me playing Pokemon: All of my Pokemon have to be kept at the same level.

Me 3 weeks later: I never want to look at this game again

They already have. Physical media sales are a small minority of game sales.

people already weren't buying physical media.

The number is actually closer to 25%

My only hope is Time Warner Cable. I mean, Spectrum.

At my previous employer, we just used Starlink as a third backup circuit. There they'd be better suited for that and travel vs whole home internet.

Fortunately rural fiber rollouts are happening very frequently now. The big ISPs don't want to miss out on the starlink money.

Fuck, I hope not. My only other fiber option is ATT
