    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.

    Also, how many times is L4s going to repost this? These repost bots make for spammy, “spectator” forums instead of community-driven content.

      Yeah my first thought was “eh grab 4 400gbit links and aggregate them and you’ve got 1.2tbit” granted there’s probably some overhead or other bottlenecks that show up when trying to do link aggregation at such a high bandwidth that have to be worked out but this does not seem at all outside of current technological capabilities.

      Heck I’ve seen the bundles of fiber that get buried along 2 lane county highways in rural Wisconsin, and this just does not sound impressive at all
