Also 1.2 million times less likely to leave the research stadium because even if this is true (very big if already) it’s still “new and exciting and revolutionary improvement #3626462” this week alone. Revolutionary new battery tech comes out twice a week if you believe the pop sci tech sites, it’s 99.9% crap
Battery advancements aren’t crap. We’ve gotten 5-8% improvement in capacity per year, which compounds to a doubling every 10 to 15 years. Every advancement covered by over sensationalized pop sci articles you’ve ever heard has contributed to that. It’s important not to let sensationalism make you jaded to actual advancements.
Now, as for broadband, we haven’t pushed out the technologies to the last mile that we already have. However, this sort of thing is useful for the backbone and universities. Universities sometimes have to transfer massive amounts of data, and some of the most efficient ways to do that are a van full of hard drives.
That’s not what I said though, I meant that 99.9% of the “revolutionary new battery technology” articles on blogs, magazines and what not are clickbait crap. I’ve seen these articles for at least the last 25 years and hlbeyond lit-ion batteries, not much revolutionary has happened on the battery front. My point was more against the clickbait science and tech news that regurgitates the same dumb crap all the time

No normal consumer user would have any reasonable use case for this kind of bandwidth.
This is data center and backbone network stuff.
Maybe so. Would sure be nice to have that kind of breathing room though
