@marble Nothing beats riding a TransPerth bendy bus.

@marble nice

@marble SCSI Bus

@marble but the serial bus travels much faster, much much faster.

@marble duplex vs. townhomes!

@marble bus termination

@marble Is there an adaptor?

@marble Superscalar bus vs. pipelined bus

@marble @nev If you need more throughput:

@marble
Or is this stack vs. array?

@marble North American edition

@marble the parallel one is the long one. It has parallel input/output. If you want more parallelism you may need to change architecture and build a train.

@marble the longer bus has more doors, so while I do think it's funny, it may be that the buses are practically the opposite of what you see in them at first

Wait I've been learning about parallel vs series circuits in physics class and I wonder if that's why they call it a serial bus, if it's a series circuit

@marble about to make a dirty joke

@marble like the IT version of a Dad Joke. I approve!

@marble oh now I get it.

@marble I kinda want to see a double-decker accordion bus now :<

@marble the serial bus has multiple doors for a high board rate 🫣

@marble
Parallel bus has serious I/O issues, though 🤣

@marble I learned something today

@marble If the parallel bus is a bit dirty and grimy, would it be a SCSI bus? Also, if the person operating a SCSI bus is a little bit abrasive, would the bus line require a SAS driver?

@marble USB

@marble interestingly, the serial bus can be accessed in parallel by a multitude of doors, while the parallel bus only has a singular, serial access port 😶‍🌫️

@marble It's not so simple. Your serial bus has more exits so from a passenger point of view it is the parallel bus.

@marble That’s the RS232!
