@feddit.deOf the two RIPE actually existed first. RIPE isn't just a forum, it is the community of European and Middle Eastern IP network operators. It started as coordination meetings of some European operators and grew from there. At some point the RIPE community was large enough that they founded the RIPE Network Coordination Center with full time employees as a sort of secretary role for the community. Later when the RIRs were created to decentralize the management of IP resources that job was assigned to the RIPE NCC for the RIPE region.
My work place is one of those original European operators and the colleage who represented us at ripe-1 is also still employed, though close to retirement now :-)
Victorianox
It's called Victorinox, from "Victor-" from Victoria, the founders Mother, and "-inox" from "acier inoxydable", i.e., non-oxidizing steel.
When I get a call at home while already wearing my wired headset I like to just plug it into the phone.
Since my current phone was bought used I had to compromise on some things, so I don't have a headphone jack anymore. I use a USB-C Adapter now. I use it for most phone calls, especially the longer ones with family. So probably for a few hours per month.
For quite a long time, until about 2021, I was still using wired headphones when on the go, but nowadays I'm addicted to noise cancelling, so that use case has moved to Bluetooth now. My protective headsets from work (both the over-ear and the in-ear set) also use Bluetooth.
Of course he doesn't want that, he strengthened Hamas specifically so there would be no single clear entity in the PNA with which he would have to negotiate for a two state solution. Except he underestimated Hamas and they became too strong. I don't understand what his current theory of victory is though... annexing Gaza?
Regular bathing isn't what you want, frequent bathing, that's important. What good is it if someone bathes with great regularity on the first of every month?
The way you use "PC" as a synonym for "Windows" proves that you are indeed a long term Mac user.
87% of teenagers use Apple
Do you mean US American teenagers, or North American teenagers, or who exactly? Surely that can't be global?
For perspective, at work for our production network through Switzerland, we use at most 16 QAM with dual-polarization, and at most 88 channels (except we never utilize more than maybe 10). With just normal single mode single core fibers. This paper has just everything blown up in all directions of cool.
Yes, to get their speeds they used the usual wavelength division multiplexing, except over an insane 750 wavelength channels, space division multiplexing over the 38 corse with 3 modes, and 256 QAM with dual-polarization in each
