I’m confused how I would have written that as well. Coincidental for sure. I think I did have “modern” in the title initially and didn’t realize editing left it since it’s similar. I dunno.
I speak English and I’m actually old enough to know what modem stands for, unfortunately 😂.
edit: It was autocorrect apparently. It happened again and was almost impossible to detect because of the similarity.
I’ve posted it online now as well as included a pic of the LEDs lit up through the PETG pipes.
I’ll post it to Printables.com soon. I’m not sure how common the brittle plastic issue was but, yeah, there seem to be a lot of variations using this exact same case design.
I haven’t seen the LEDs yet since I’ve lost the power supply, but I’ve used the same PETG pipe technique a couple of times before and it works great.
I feel like everybody is overlooking the fact that this person is getting an ad, to watch ads, after already paying for Premium.
I think this satire whooshed most everybody who replied.
For most utilities (water, electricity), there’s a relatively linear relationship between the tangible value provided (energy used, water dispensed) and the cost to provide it (coal burned, water sourced/treated). Even for wind- or hydro-powered electricity, the amount that everybody uses has a proportional amount of wear on the system and consequent required maintenance.
But not so much for ISPs. Instead, you’re basically paying for a “fictional” amount (speed) of a non-tangible product. Granted, there is a linear relationship to the amount of electricity the ISP uses to provide each bit, but it’s negligible.
Instead, what you’re paying for with internet is essentially to recoup the fixed costs of the provider’s equipment. They do need to upgrade every so often to accommodate more capacity and faster speeds, but this is proportional to speeds provided and not data volume used.
