One difference is sound can only travel through a medium, so that bit is always implied. Not so with light.

Nothing can travel faster than light through vacuum, so that bit is implied as well.

I disagree with their quibble about the title being intentionally misleading but, meh, I've picked stranger technically correct hills to die on, the rest of their comment is interesting, it's fine.


Arguably there's a lot of people who don't know nothing is faster than light in a vacuum.

Because of science fiction, and lack of education in much of the world (looking at you USA), the title can easily make certain people think we discovered new science that allows us to travel faster than light. Especially for folks who only look at headlines.

The whole thing is a silly quibble. But sensationalized headlines get better engagement, which we can all see here.



I believe what you are looking for is called a multi-WAN router. More specifically, one with a failover function.


Anyone able to tell if the study was funded by the device manufacturer?

Raindrop looks amazing. Wish it weren't based in Russia.


I once emailed my concerns to them and they replied they are actually based in Kazakhstan since a few years, while their servers are all on AWS.



This has been studied. A beard does compromise the seal, but to a lesser extent on n95s than in other masks:

0 to 10mm!? Some study. That’s barely a beard. Loses 40% effectivenes at 10mm.


No, that's the figure for KF94 and KN95 masks. For N95s it's only about a 20% loss of FFE.
