There is a German tech saying that goes "Wer Funk kennt, nimmt Kabel" ("Those who know wireless, use wires").
- agumonkey 10y agoFunk means wireless ??
- watersb 10y agoMeans "radio".
- photon-torpedo 10y agoIn this context, yes. More literally, Funk means radio, and the word for wireless would be "drahtlos".
- dom0 10y agoFunk means RF/radio/wireless. The term originates from the first radio transmitter ever, which used spark gaps (spark = Funke, gap = Strecke/Spalte) to generate detectable RF. So German Funk is actually directly related to the English funk (as in music) etymologically.
