It is a very different world from the one we were raised in. If you view the video differently, you can say it does a very good job of expressing the anger and rage that a mechanistic worldview fosters.

Technically nice, but creepy as hell.
I hope nobody took extasy in there... with such a background the trip might end pretty easy very bad for them

amazing graphics for concert venue. I wonder what the effect would be if these were at a higher frame rate with the same if not more frames. Resolution is quite good.

Just went from a crappy internet provider (on the phone for hours type of crappy, with crappy 10 Mb (at best) connection) to Verizon 100 Mb/sec for only $5/month more. Holy moley!!! Being able to zoom in Google Maps satellite view and have things updated within a second is mind-blowing! And even more mind-blowing: it isn't even a physical land line! Verizon just put a tower just out of line-of-sight, and it is all wireless! Effin' amazing that those types of speeds can be had just through the airwaves!
And can someone explain it like I am 5, how a tower can supply a hundred or more houses at that speed and still get good throughput wirelessly? I seriously suspect that it can't when the load increases, but speed tests are showing the full 100.
And on top of that, my phone connects to our WiFi signal and speed tests on it show the full 100 Mb/sec as well! (And a WiFi 6 indicator appears.) Life changing! No more buffering all the cat videos!

Is it 5G, or 4G?

Evidently, it's 5G. They sent a Verizon Internet Gateway Business FSNO21VA router. Can't see what it is on their site, but an ebay listing shows it as 5G. Never thought I'd see that in Montana!

It probably has a fiber bundle from the tower that supports mind blowing bandwidth.
You can probably toast your English muffins on the modem if you are streaming!

Fiber still beats wireless. However I still get speed envy: I'm at 1G now and found out that I could get 3. Imagine, it would take only seconds to download that movie I spent hours choosing.

Well there's a low bar for you.
But, I'm talking about reliability, not speed. I despise wireless anything with a passion. I've lost count of the number of times people have called me because they keep losing their wireless connection. I've got enough of my own problems in that area, I have no need to try to solve other people's as well.
Use a wire, problem solved - for all practical purposes, forever.

Amen!
I say the same thing except for the day when I was looking at the prospect of digging a trench to put some garden automation in my shed. Then I said "screw it, I'll use wireless"

As long as there's nothing vital that depends on that wireless connection...

Don't complain...
You might have started the trench and then say have to say: "Damn it, I'll have to use wireless"

Naturally the solution for a provider, any provider, is to throttle service when there is a problem at the IP level.
There is also bandwidth saturation, but not clear to me if that applies. Certainly googling for the answer doesn't provide one. Might be that it is high due to the nature of how the actual communication is involved. But would not be surprised if throttling on that is also possible. That is a different kind of throttling than what would be for actual IP traffic.
Unfortunately googling is likely to provide a lot of noise that tends towards nefarious plots (sort of) without realistically providing objective information. So there are complaints about something being slow and thus it must be the providers fault without really eliminating all of the other possible problems. And then a lot of conjecture on top of that.
My only thought is that one can only hope that most of the neighbors don't really do much with their networks. So the kids texting for most of the day will have zero impact versus someone who is running a performance/load testing business out of the house is going to be a problem.

My cable provider here in BC (Canada) is Shaw, and they provide up to 2GB internet with their new modems - I have the 1.5 GB option because I work from home. Its standard cable to the house and modem, but from there it is all wireless for everything. I can have a Teams video call, as well as large downloads and still have the TV cable box streaming wirelessly. No issues with any of this.

I'm now doing my first backup with AOMEI
I am backing up these two drives...
- Internal Drive C: 77 GB
- External Drive M: 316 GB
...onto a single External drive.
This thing has been going on for way more than 12 hours now; maybe a full 24 hours by now; I'm not totally sure.
The interface between the external drives and the desktop computer is USB, And I think that's 3.0 on the plugs; They both have the "SS" Logo printed next to them.
AOMEI Continues to report consistent progress, 83% At this present moment (And I started this yesterday)
As best I remember, I killed every other app before I started the backup.
I came across THIS REAL SPEED FAQ from verbatim, which contained this...
From Verbatim's Website... Sustained transfer speeds (real life) for external hard drives are about 85MBps for USB 3.0 and about 22MBps for USB 2.0,
I welcome correction on my arithmetic here.
Even if I'm getting the 22MBps speed, I calculate between 18,000 and 19,000 seconds of time
That gives me something like five or six hours
Clearly, I don't have all the facts here.
I welcome better brains than mine, who might direct me to something smarter.

I can't tell for sure because I don't use AOMEI but I have experienced a couple of times that sending two different big files to a USB makes it go slower than sending one after another.
If AOMEI is backing up both drives "parallely" that could eventually call the same effect.
At best wait for @OriginalGriff he is the AOMEI power user here.

If you're only getting 20MB per seconds (that's megabytes, not megabits), that's USB2, not USB3. I've been bitten by this multiple times.
When copying over USB3, I often get well over 100MB per seconds. If something's not configured right, or I have the wrong port, I do see 20MB/s.

Are you using compression? That slows it down a bit.
Are you backing up the files to a single backup archive file, or are you backing up each file on its own? If you're doing each file on its own, that will take much longer due to the overhead of the file system having to create each file and the drive having to seek all over the place.

AOMEI seems to have various flavors. "Backupper" seems to be some sort of commercial version. I been confused about various versions of backup utilities. Anyone to clarify?
