I want to avoid having a technical discussion with someone who doesn’t understand how things work.
For instance. Someone asked how Gazians can use the internet with a network failure. They can ping Egyptian towers is something simple that everyone would understand.
When you lose power on a network you have basicly two elements that die independently…nevermind you aren’t interested in doing anything but bs preaching. You don’t really want care and I’m not interested in spending time in explaining it to you
so, you say “ping” like a ping isn’t just the most simple call and answer request in existance.
then again, the only thing you could have had to do with networks is as a technician, seeing as you literally gave some gibberish and are misusing technical terms.
to lose connection over a network (you don’t fucking “lose power” on a network, something someone with a cursory understanding of signal engineering should know), now to disrupt a network you don’t have “two independent elements that die” you have an inability for signals from A to reach B, in fact both A and B can still be very much active, yet the network be down.
now fundamentally all information needs to propagate through some form of medium, in a wired connection that is either electrons or photons over some conductor, now this is comparably stable and easy to shield from noise yet very vulnerable to physical attacks (Israel destroyed basically all the cabled network hubs in Gaza on day 3, so that was physically destroyed a long time ago).
now the other Popular medium is radio waves, aka electromagnetic radiation, this is your cellphone, Wi-Fi, walkie-talkies, radios, etc… this is literally the electromagnetic equivalent of shouting really loud (yes literally propagation of waves through a medium), now imagine someone else has a fucking air raid siren they just have running all day long, within shouting distance to you, and now try to talk to someone.
