Agreed. People confusing "the internet" with "wifi" need to be educated, and the mistake highlights a major technology literacy problem.

The article states it's a ban on fiber internet, then also mentions that cable internet is also banned (later in the article).

Also, we get to hear about a random person's, unrelated, internet outage issue: "One Balkh resident noticed connectivity issues a few days ago at home and contacted his service provider, which said it was a technical issue that would be resolved."

This article is terrible writing.

When vibe coding turns into lawsuits

AI's arguing with each other on the internet with no positive outcome is only a win for the AI company. Same with emails. If you send me 20 pages of AI slop generated from bullet points and I use AI to reduce it back to bullet points, then nothing of value was gained except we both paid openai for burning some coal and thats all.

Don't send or post any AI to me on any platform. I can run the AI my self when I feel it's needed.

The operator of the AI must be held liable for it's actions just as the operator of any other software.

There wonâ(TM)t be anymore original content

For an excellent product, I am glad that Plex is charging an appropriate amount. Software development time, basic hosting for software downloads and login services are not free. The Plex clients getting onto so many different platforms I also imagine is quite a bear to get under control. Then, open-source alternatives still require overhead and maintenance from an admin - consider the $ spent with Plex the cost of your time.

There will always be inflation, and this does not seem like an excessive increase for "lifetime" membership. That being said, I am cautious of other "lifetime" memberships which have failed :

- American Airlines - AAirpass : scrapped when people took massive advantage of the number of flights, tied to a person
- TiVo DVR All-In Plan : scrapped when physical time-shifting media products were no longer feasible, the "license" was tied to the device
- Unlimited Web Hosting : scrapped when people really used the unlimited webhosts for unlimited data transfers, hidden limits are typically enforced to kick off the worst offenders.

- probably a lot more ...

Notably, some have really succeeded! ( and there are many more examples) :
- US National Parks Service - $80 Senior Lifetime pass ( must be over 62 to qualify ), tied to your death like you would expect.
- REI - $30 - a lot of in-store perks, and returns.
- Forever Stamps - fixed cost of mailing letters.
- etc ..

Here's to a lifetime membership that thrives!

You could mitigate this by doing the transfer in multiple wavelengths of light. This way if one wavelength is blocked, the others can be used for error correction, or to replace the "lost" information. ECC is pretty quick and there are more complex options if you need to get higher levels of recovery more often.

This company mission I am really interested in, and know loads about. I will be applying to your company's careers page !

The power output adjusts to environmental conditions

One might overcome fog or rain by varying light intensity in the laser.

Disclaimer: I work there

The beam is not dangerous and small interruptions are handled by error correction in the device itself and higher level protocols (like resending tcp packets).

Calling them low performers publicly is a huge punch in the gut And can affect employment prospects. They should class action on that.
