Thanks for your insight. That would make sense to me, and perhaps then they simply sent that data many multiples of times in that short span to add up to the petabytes they're quoting. Or maybe they simply sent a tone over each of the channels and used that as a proof of concept that they could have sent those petabytes.

In any case, I'm still curious about what information actually was transmitted.

>I'm sad that redditors in this sub seem to not understand even a little what this article is saying,

First, fuck off with your condescending tone. Fuck right off with it.

Second, what did they transmit from point A to point B? If it's actual data, then in order to confirm that what you think you sent from point A to point B is what actually got sent, without appreciable loss, you would need to check the data. Via a checksum or something. I'm asking how that's done.

If they didn't do that, then I don't see how one can claim any data was sent. It sounds to me like they sent noise at that point.

Reply to comment by dbeards in TIL that in 2005 burglars stole $71.6 million from a bank in Fortaleza, Brazil by setting up a fake landscaping company near the bank and digging a 256ft tunnel beneath two city blocks to the bank over 3 months. Neighbors noticed vanloads of soil removed daily but assumed it was business-related. by Lagavulin16_neat

You're a government contractor, aren't you? Must be if you're quoting number like that.

Reply to comment by immersemeinnature in TIL the first confirmed victim of Takata airbags was 18y/o Parham. As she drove around a car park, she lightly bumped another vehicle making the airbag inflate, sending metal pieces at such tremendous force that one hit the teen’s neck slicing open her carotid artery. She bled to death in her seat by ahm713

Pulling the number out of my ass, but even when there's a recall I think it would be a miracle if 75% of the vehicles affected actually get the issue fixed. That's how there are still millions of vehicles in the road with either this or a host of other issues.
