          Lol it’s a pissing match eh?

          My first modem had a baud rate, no kilobits per second yet.

              That’s pretty impressive. Do you have to practise or does it just come to you?

                I just started recognizing patterns. I forget which equipment we were using, but there was almost always some data screeching over a certain connection in the lab. My colleague picked up on it as well.

                  So by listen, how did it work? Like picking out ascii from the bits like it’s Morse code??

                    Similar to skimming ARM machine code in hexadecimal - patterns stand out and you can see the overall structure, though not necessarily single bytes. Enough to recognize the nature of the data if it’s one that was heard before.

        I don’t know who these people are, and more importantly don’t fucking care.

        How long I’ve been “on the internet” (which is since before PC’s were a common thing) is irrelevant.

        I am curious whether the safety argument is valid, but only after settling the copyright argument (which seems utterly bullshit) and the libel claims.

        Frankly it all sounds juvenile, and I hope both sides lose their asses in court for wasting it’s time.

        Also, youtube isn’t the internet. It’s just one of the bigger cesspools (among many).
