A woman used 40Gbps internet connection to dry laundry
Quote:
|
Chances are, you could think of a million and one ways to totally take advantage of having a 40Gbps internet connection installed in your abode, but for one Sigbritt Löthberg -- who actually had such a setup -- she chose to take advantage of it in quite a perplexing way. Reportedly, the 75-year old dame wasn't too interested in downloading an entire HD film in two seconds or having ping times more minuscule than the brain can fathom; rather, she chose to use the excess heat emitted from all the kit shoved in her house to "dry her laundry." Unfortunately, the poor lady has had the gear removed from her domicile for further testing in another location, but according to Hafsteinn Jonsson, who is heading up the fiber network operation for Karlstad Stadsnät, they're considering "giving her a 100Gbps [link] in the summer -- then she'll be able to dry all her neighbors' laundry too."

Re: A woman used 40Gbps internet connection to dry laundry
lol, please just don't compare this Dadima's net speed to Indian.
It makes me very very very jealous.
In India we can't just think or even dream of it.

Re: A woman used 40Gbps internet connection to dry laundry
We pay almost 1k for 256 unlimited. I think that granny needs to taste this 256 thing inorder to realize how lucky she is.
