rixxworking from a train is always so fun
Hiker@rixx Well, that's just physics.
@hiker the ten seconds out of order ping while standing still near a train station is just physics? Germany has a really fancy special physics engine, then.
@rixx Wait a minute, you didn't say the train had come to a stop. And by the way—I'm writing from Switzerland.
@hiker I'm pretty sure a 10s ping is never "physics", so long as you're staying on earth.
My reference to Germany was on account of the location of my train. If train WiFi on Swiss trains is usually this bad, then I'm really sorry to hear that.
@rixx Wi-Fi on the train has to come from somewhere—Wi-Fi cables haven't been invented yet. So the data has to come through the mobile network, and that's where geography and topology play a key role.
