sending your texts by virtual carrier pigeon.
I’m tired of these virtuals taking jobs away from real working pigeons.
Funnily enough transferring data by pigeon is still the fastest method, beating pretty much any kind of connection.
Sometimes, sure. It depends on the speed of the connection, the distance, and the number of files and their sizes transferring. In some cases transferring from a USB stick can be barely faster than than downloading to the point of being not worth the effort of walking in to another room to get the stick laying there with the data already on it.
Who is faster definitely depends on speed yes
Replying to @Squizzy@lemmy.world
The point is it’s not just speed of the delivery method, it’s amount of data per delivery. You can average it to bit/second, but you also have to understand that driving 100 TB 5,000 km means no data for the entire drive/flight and then all the data all at once.
