Internet Speed Record of 420,000,000 Mbps Achieved in Japan, Downloads Baldur's Gate 3 in 4ms!

A team of engineers, have achieved a data transmission rate of 402 Tbps or 50.25 TB/s using standard fibre optic cables, so fast that you could download Baldur's Gate 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, and the entire Fallout 4 collection all in less than 1/10th of a second

The team did NOT use any weird tech or microscopic distances in a lab, but a 50Km of commercially available optical fibres and signal amplifiers were employed in the test. At an estimated peak rate of 402 Tbps or 50.25 TB/s, it's approximately 25% higher than the previous record, set in last October.

What the team did was to employ as many transmission bands as possible, along with cutting-edge amplifiers and gain equalisers, to reach a total signal bandwidth of 37.6 THz. That's over 100,000 times more bandwidth than WiFi 7 can utilise.

Remember 2MP Useless Camera? Nothing Says 'Hold My Beer'

Last year, after launching the Nothing Phone 2, Nothing declared "2MP third camera sensors are the biggest scam of the 21st century"
However, CMF Phone 1also sport a 2MP useless camera, thus Nothing is trying to defend itself

Nothing first claims that 2MP as a third sensor is useless, but as a secondary camera, it's actually valuable 😂
Then they says, "We also didn't turn the depth sensor into a shitty camera just to say that we have two. We kept it real & transparent by calling it a portrait sensor" ️️️🤣

Finally, Nothing argues, "By definition, you need 2 sensors of different focal lengths. This can be achieved with a second camera (higher price point) or a depth sensor."
However, Google and Apple achieved portrait mode in 2018 (6yrs ago) using just the main camera.

The irony deepens.
After all this explanation, Nothing has REMOVED mentions of 2MP camera in the CMF Phone 1 in the "about phone" section of the settings page
