>I can send an IP packet to Europe faster than I can send a pixel to the screen. How f’d up is that?
and to relate to the other post about landlines: https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/992778768417722368 https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/992778768417722368
>I made a long internal post yesterday about audio latency, and it included “Many people reading this are too young to remember analog local phone calls, and how the lag from cell phones changed conversations.”

- Artlav 6y ago> Many people reading this are too young to remember analog local phone calls, and how the lag from cell phones changed conversations Is there somewhere to read about the changes in question? I'm old enough to remember extensive use of analog landlines, and can't really think of any difference to a cellphone other than audio quality.
- projektfu 6y agoIn my world, using regular cell service (not VoLTE), seems nearly as instantaneous as I remember analog lines. I remember how hard a satellite phone call was and I never have that much latency in a call.
- lostmsu 6y agoIsn't this mostly because actually showing a pixel requires a macroscopic change?
