title: “What Internet And Network Backbones Do” ShowToc: true date: “2022-12-04” author: “Oscar Bland” Internet Backbone Technology Nearly all web browsing, video streaming, and other common online traffic flows through internet backbones. They consist of network routers and switches connected mainly by fiber optic cables. Each fiber link on the backbone normally provides 100 Gbps of network bandwidth. Computers rarely connect to a backbone directly.

You are probably already aware of the CMOS sensor used in smartphones and consumer digital cameras. But did you know that there is another type of sensor that provides higher levels of detail and dynamic range? These camera sensors are known as CCDs. So, what exactly are CCDs? How does it work, and how is it used? Let’s talk about it. What Is a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device)? A CCD, or charged-coupled device, is an electronic sensor that converts light to digital signals through charges generated by bouncing photons on a thin silicon wafer....

Although a prolapsed rectum isn’t life-threatening, it can certainly be life-altering as it causes a host of distressing symptoms. Over time, the condition can worsen. Rectal prolapse is considered uncommon, with approximately 2.5 reported cases in 100,000 people, according to the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS). Rectal prolapse typically occurs six times more often in people assigned female at birth 50 years or older than in those assigned male at birth of the same age....

Why You Need a Satellite Radio Antenna Both terrestrial radio and satellite radio use omnidirectional antennas, which can be contrasted with the directional antennas used by satellite television services. However, your existing car antenna that’s designed to receive AM and FM signals isn’t capable of receiving satellite radio transmissions. The issue is that the FM broadcast band occupies part of the very high frequency (VHF) radio spectrum, the AM band utilizes part of the medium frequency (MF) band, and satellite radio occupies the ​S-band....

State legislators challenged their state supreme court’s power to invalidate the plan under the state constitution. They based their argument on the admittedly novel “independent state legislature theory,” said to apply to the parts of the U.S. Constitution that grant states the authority to set the “time, place, and manner” of congressional elections as well as select their electoral college slate to determine the outcome of presidential elections.States playing this kind of role in national elections is part of the system of American federalism, and federal courts are generally deferential to state decisions on electoral arrangements unless a state violates some federal constitutional right or proscription....

To obtain a single Bitcoin, you have to mine for them using specialized hardware, known as an ASIC miner. ASIC Mining and Blockchain Before you get into ASIC mining, you first need to understand blockchain technology. In very simple terms, blockchain is a technology that generates a hash that is not repeatable or replaceable. These hashes are then cryptographically linked and “stacked” on one another (hence “block”) to ensure that nothing is repeated, creating a chain (hence “chain”) of codes that guarantee uniqueness and security....
