TFTP is fine for LAN, but very inefficient for sending bulk data over the Internet.

To keep things as simple as possible, TFTP sends one packet at a time, waiting for a response before sending the next packet. If your ping is 50 ms, the that's 20 whole packets per second. (That's assuming zero packet loss, otherwise it will be even slower.)

For historical reasons, the packet size is locked to 512 useful bytes. That puts the transfer speed at 10 kB/s (80 kbps), which is faster than dialup but not by much.

Horror episodes do exist, but they're rare, and not generally representative of the series as a whole.

What sick person gets the license to make a Star Trek game, and decides survival horror is the best genre fit? Have they seen a single episode?

I'm not okay with any of those things.

Right idea, wrong number. Satellites in low Earth orbit are typically moving at about 7-8 km/s, depending on the exact altitude. The speed required to get from the surface to deep space (i.e., the "escape velocity") is 11.2 km/s.

The escape velocity for the Earth is 11.2 km/s. If you shoot a cannonball upward at that speed, it'll have enough energy to completely leave Earth and never come back.

I am the primary author of an open-source framework for Ethernet in embedded systems. There is not a single line of fucking AI slop in that repo, because I am not an irresponsible hack.

Seems I was mistaken. My previous statement was based on what others have said, but I haven't actually run the tests myself. In any case, I have learned not to rely on statements made by the accused in this type of dispute.

The whole rsync repo is 65k lines total. Recent AI-centric changes account for +16k/-6k, including massive changes to the unit tests. Somehow that's not even considered a "minor" update (v3.4.1 to v3.4.3).

That's not responsible use of AI, that's malpractice.
