I don't know. Glass I assume, since it's fiber optic cable.

It was a joke. It must be glass fiber. Carbon fiber is better for fast sports cars or aircraft.

Yeah and those things are supposed to comunicate at the speed of light. Carbon is black, so it would be at the speed of Dark.

When I had 25Mb/s I could still stream (Roku) on two TV's at once. All this sales pitch that you need 100 Mb/s 200 Mb/s 980 Mb/s - I don't get it - unless you're sharing with an entire sorority or something (in which keys I, at least, would be busy with other things).
Basically, with net congestion as it is, who'll send you data fast enough to need much of that at all? Spammers and telemarketers, I guess.

980Mb/s? You'll need that next year just to cope with Java and Adobe updates ...

Just use the same SSID and password and all the devices will still work.

I specifically requested a straight up router (no wifi) from my ISP and have always used my own router for wifi. Mostly this is because I run several web services through a static IP and need to manage the routing to the server. Even if they had delivered the wifi capable router, it probably would have the settings I needed. (or the option to turn off DHCP and wifi)
Welcome to the new age! I would hate to have to reset all the wifi devices in my house...last time I looked there were around 30 devices. (2 phones, 6 tablets, 1 doorbell, 3 alexas, 3 tv receivers, multiple laptops, a dozen light bulbs, etc.)

If you keep following your dreams, will they eventually file a restraining order?

I'm glad I followed my dreams that one night I caught them sneaking off to some other guy's house.

Probably, especially if it's wet dream.

What is the right CP forum for posts about Docker? I guess it is under the main heading "Programming", even though is isn't programming as such, but more like software infrastructure.
I'll get out of the Lounge with my Docker talk as soon as someone tells me where to go!
