  • My question is: Where does this magic cable go?

    Into the ISP’s modem on the side of your house. From there to a box along the street, and from there miles away to either another hop, or the datacenter in your local area.

    Serial communication is typically much easier to manage than parallel. In parallel all existing tasks need to be completed before the next task can start.

    Can their routers see the packets sent by my router, similar to ethernet?

    The data is routed, and if you don’t need to send the data to you the router is not going to send it to you. The same thing applies to a switch on your local ethernet. But you only really see your traffic and any broadcasts. You don’t normally see Device A talking to Device B.











  • The only way I see to solve it is to force vendors to release hardware specs and unlock bootloaders so you can install your own software on it.

    Would that actually solve it? Just because a phone has an unlocked bootloader doesn’t mean random ass people are going to want to support it. And even if some random dude on XDA makes updates for it that doesn’t mean most people are even going to want to use it. Like yeah it’s cool than a Galaxy S4 can run the latest version of Android, but that shit is buggy as hell and IDK anyone who would unironically want to use that.
