Well, Grace Hooper wrote: "First case of ACTUAL bug". Which means she made a small joke in that science diary, as they most likely had normal electronic bugs beforehand, but now first time a REAL bug caused a problem :D

[Please read edit!] Just fyi, you are attributing the theory that light can travel through a vacuum to the wrong person. It was maxwell who proposed the laws that allowed it. Einstein merely built special relativity from Maxwell's laws, but Einstein was not the first to state that light could propograte through a vacuum Edit: Okay, looks like I need to do research instead of going off what I thought I knew and had been taught in formal education. My fault. As some of the comments have pointed out, it was not Maxwell. Maxwell did actually still believe there was some ether that light traveled through, rather than being able to travel through a vacuum. The Michelson-Morley experiment was the first to provide strong evidence against an ether in 1887. Idk if Einstein can really be credited for suggesting the lack of an ether, BUT his paper on special relativity is considered to have done away with the ether for good. So LTT was at least close, if not correct, depending on your interpretation and perspective, and I was pretty unequivocally wrong. Tl;dr: LTT is at least mostly right, I was wrong. Look up the Michelson-Morley experiment.

In the seventies, the University of Hawaii invented an internet protocol named ALOHA. The goal was to link the different institutes on the various islands - by radio. Years later, that protocol was used for what we know as ethernet. Maybe the origin - based on experimental UHF radio - is an obvious inspiration for the name ethernet.

Bro, you almost got it right with the term ethernet at the end there by saying that wifi would be better described as "going through the ether" because ethernet and its name came from the wireless ALOHA network in Hawaii. It was the first communication technology to use Carrier Detection/Multiple Access with Collison Detection(CS/MA-CD), which was the foundation of ethernet's appeal, because the signal has to be shared in the same airspace or "ether". That concept was translated to wires to create the first ethernet network with hubs and is still available for backwards compatibility even though modern switches don't need it anymore.

You get the basic luminescent ether story basically right but there's a tad more to the story. I was next to Bob in class in May 1973 when he first presented his project. We had just studied AlohaNET in Hawaii which was the inspiration for the approach. The big difference was to use a coaxial cable as a contained radio medium so as to avoid the FCC rules. This was well before the Internet which is based on the same principles. It's worthy of a story in its own right since we still stuck in the 1934 model of telecommunications that has constrained our ability to take advantage of these powerful ideas. I designed your home network based on what I learned in that class -- another story worth telling.

Two of my favourite (inaccurate definitions of) acronyms were "ISDN - It Still Does Nothing" and "IBM - I Blame Microsoft" heh 🙂

I always thought of the term Ethernet being something akin to External = the opposite of an intranet/LAN-that is local to a building only. The term Ether was however indeed used in the early days of radio and TV transmission like "sending/listening/watching through the Ether". In this case it is however a true wireless transmission and so the term ether suits better here. This is also why I never thought of the word Ethernet being linked to the Radio/TV term "ether". because network communication is mostly through cables and not the "ether" and wireless networking/WLAN did not even exist when the term Ethernet was coined.

3:13 You forget to mention that if Intel would take continue the name we would have Hexium, Heptium and the Pentium 4 would be the Octium. Core would be Enneum and the current gen would be Icosidium and the next Icositrium,, etcetera.

When I worked in a computer store in the mid-2010s I got a couple people over the years looking to buy a new computer and wanting to make sure it was a "Pentium" I had to explain to them that in the intervening years "Pentium" came to mean "bad computer"

Then there was the infamous “Pentium Bug”. For those that don’t remember there was a big kerfuffle back in the mid 90’s where it was found Pentiums could have floating point errors under some circumstances. At the time IBM was also pushing OS/2 Warp, and, as I recall, the Power PC chips. I heard an IBM spokesman solemnly proclaiming that IBM would no longer be building PCs with Intel processors or Windows. This was long before I got involved in the computer industry, but even then I thought it was hilarious BS. And… the future proved me right. Hmm… an expanded version of this story might make for a good LTT Techquickie.

if pentium is a cooking ingredient like sodium, then celeron is supposed to be like celery?

in the philippines, we got a nickname for crappy pc builds with INTEL INSIDE logo on it named "Inutil Inside" which is also used in the past by the gaming community when opponents got serious gaming skill issues, when someone failed at a class subject so easy that you just answer common questions to pass, etc.
