@TrentTelenko Sorry but bullshit.
The one, single sub 🇫🇷 keeps at sea 24/7 carries a minimum of “only” 96 warheads (up to 160 if no decoys are installed) representing 600 Hiroshimas.
No one, not 🇷🇺 , 🇨🇳 or even the 🇺🇸, could withstand 600 Hiroshimas to the face in one go and not decompose

@JimmyThomist @GrandpaRoy2 SM fibre is, at 9um or so, smaller than MM at around 50um. Both end up clad to 125um, still too thin to use bare. So it is clad/sheethed to the sizes you are talking about the final size depending on application. SM can trivially do over 100km at the speed they are likely use

Laughs in knowing how fiber optics work.

The Russians claim to have successfully tested a massive 65 km fiber optic FPV coil. What longer distances will be seen in 2026?

@GrandpaRoy2 Every time I see someone talk about PVV-5A, it makes me think about this post by Swampy. May he rest in peace. x.com/Swampy_EOD_Ukr…

We are running our Balquhidder FTTH network on temporary generators for 3 days while @SSETransmission @SSE prepare the overhead power network for winter - tree clearing and deteriorating pole replacement. Thank you.

@anthonyrose Already forced to use 3rd party to file the exact same set of numbers that you used to put it in their simple VAT form. Same for corp tax have to pay accountant lots

@KathrynPorter26 @Ed_Miliband example of one london datacentre, 2020 22p/kWh, 2025 still 44p/kWh. It is cheaper to host services in other countries
English

So you think a 15% reduction in 2 years will cut it? It won't
You consistently make the same mistakes
🔹Renewables are more expensive not
cheaper than electricity generated from
gas and nuclear
🔹Harmonising carbon prices is
increasing energy costs today
🔹Focusing on levelling the playing field
with Europe ignores the fact EU
industry is also not competitive on a
global stage
🔹Already all other consumers are
subsidising EIIs. You should recover
these subsidies through taxation. If
they work in making EIIs more
profitable the Treasury will see receipts
increase so it should also face the
costs
🔹You seem to think the UK will make
CCS work where everyone else has
failed. This hubris will add further
avoidable costs to bills
🔹You seem ignorant of the fact fusion
needs to see 10x more heat gains just to
generate the same energy as is used for
plasma containment. It probably needs
to be 100x better to be commercially
viable. This is decades away
Your policies are fairytale and fantasies

1/For too long high electricity costs have held back British businesses as a result of our reliance on gas sold on volatile international markets.
Our Industrial Strategy will unlock the potential of industry by cutting electricity prices in key sectors.

@KathrynPorter26 @Ed_Miliband I do not agree with the current plan to subsidise it, that as you say will increase power cost while letting oil/gas co's carry on profiting without covering their whole cost of biz.
English

@KathrynPorter26 @Ed_Miliband Didn't say I liked CCS but am open to any tech proving itself and in this case the best incentive to make it viable seems to be the profit goal of those who would use it. Whatabouting non dependent things is not helpful.
English

The Public Accounts Committee saying what most people knew already that Carbon Capture is expensive, unproven and will make energy bills higher
Bills will be higher whether it works or not. 2/3 of the £21.7 bn @Ed_Miliband is throwing at this will be recovered through bills

@9600 @JoeSpeeds @henet Nobody should have to spend more time in an increasingly hot (Equinix want to raise their upper limit to 32C) and noisy DC than it takes to swap hardware. Sitting there on a console should be a HSE violation.
English

@9600 @JoeSpeeds @henet just because those legacy OS have persisted doesn't make them ideal (laments X where it was nicely separated). New things should be possible but we seem stuck.
English

@9600 @JoeSpeeds @henet Stop that too (disclosure: old school Sun Netra user. Serial or Ethernet for management the rest is nuisance)
English

@JoeSpeeds @henet that's an effect not cause. Really should not need those and all the effort making ip kvm too. If you have to visit the server to operate it you've failed at datacentre.
