Damn cool. Still, the majority of the country still can't get high-speed internet unless its starlink and that is probably better than those areas have been able to get in 20 years.

From the post:
>What just happened? An engineering team at Northwestern University has achieved a breakthrough in quantum teleportation, demonstrating the feasibility of transmitting quantum information alongside classic internet traffic. As research advances, we could enter a new era in communication technology, where quantum and traditional networks can coexist to offer unprecedented levels of security and speed.
Quantum teleportation: Your message arrived and didn’t arrive without being read by the Feds until you open it. Then it’s always read by the Feds.
I hate sensational headlines like this. It's just a matter of time till my father calls me and tells me he read that they can teleport stuff through the Internet now.
Think of how much easier it will be to buy from amazon. /s
Quantum teleportation, a process that harnesses the power of quantum entanglement, enables an ultra-fast and secure method of information sharing between distant network users. Unlike traditional communication methods, quantum teleportation does not require the physical transmission of particles. Instead, it relies on entangled particles exchanging information over great distances.
I think this is wrong. From what I've read, the only benefit of this quantum approach is inherent protection from eavesdropping, which will destroy the signal because it relies in coherent pairs. They aren't magically transmitting information faster than light.
It depends on what/where you read. The "typical" explanation is the "instant data transfer over unlimited distance so quickly it is perceived as instant".
If it is even close to correct it would still be far faster than the existing methods of transmitting data in a given system. At least, that is the theory.
Engineers
lol No. "Engineers" are huff-and-puff dumbfuck wrench monkeys who think that being smart means being willing to argue about god damn anything with anyone.
They think they're clever because they think they have to be tolerated.
They don't. Most "engineers" need to be fucking fired.
"Engineers" did not achieve this. A materials scientist or solid-state physicist actually achieved this.
The fucking engineers just turned wrenches.
Engineers accomplish nothing because they create nothing, and they're so fucking stupid that they're proud of this.
Engineers are worthless.
Fuck engineers.
