Latency vs Mbps: The Netflix Thread Analogy

🎬 Latency vs Mbps: The Netflix Thread Analogy Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes when you tap play? Imagine this: You’re tired after a long day. You grab your phone, open Netflix, and tap on your favourite show. But have you ever wondered what’s happening behind the scenes in those few seconds before your video starts? Let’s simplify it with a fun analogy! 🌟 🧵 The Thread Analogy ✅ Step 1: Throwing the Thread (Latency) Think of your internet connection as throwing a thread from your phone to the Netflix server. Latency is the time taken for that thread to reach Netflix and come back to you. 📱 🖥️ ...

Here's how high you could jump on other worlds in the solar system.

 


How Much Of Height We Can Jump In Other Planets Let's Discuss


This is Earth. You've jumped here before.

EARTH:-






This is a normal vertical hop for a person on Earth. The bottom of your feet might break 1.5 feet and the whole jump would last a second.





On to the moon: the only place other than Earth where humans have dared to leap.


MOON:-





The moon's gravity at the surface is only 17% that of Earth's. Using the same force of a jump on Earth, you could rise about 10 feet off the ground and stay in the air for about 4 seconds.







Jupiter has more than 300 times the mass as Earth, so its gravitational pull is stronger.


JUPITER:-





Your jump is now... Really pathetic.




Let's try Mars — a planet bigger than the moon yet considerably smaller than Earth, with about a third of its gravity.

MARS:-




Wow! You're like a Martian Michael Jordan and can jump roughly 3 feet off the ground and stay aloft for 2 seconds.




Pluto may be a dwarf planet, but it's still pretty massive. How high could you go?


PLUTO



The surface gravity on Pluto is barely 6% as strong as Earth's. A good hop would send you about 25 feet in the air and let you enjoy the view for a full 9-10 seconds.





Saturn's moon Enceladus hides an entire ocean of liquid water under its icy crust and spits geysers into space. It might support life, but it's just 14% the diameter of Earth's moon.


SATURN'S





Jumping on Enceladus would be super fun. You'd rise up about 140 feet before floating back down, landing with the same force as if you'd jumped on Earth. The trip would take a full minute.





Comet 67P has such a weak gravity field that the NASA's Philae lander had to latch harpoons into the surface to stick around. Wonder what would happen if you jumped here...


COMET 67P




Uh oh. If you jumped on Comet 67P, you'd just float off into the void of space. Put another way, your legs are powerful enough to exceed this space rock's escape velocity.

Why Pen Drive Storage Appears Less When Plugged into a Computer Like 32GB To 29.5GB Why?🤔

 It’s a common situation—you buy a brand new 32 GB pen drive , plug it into your computer, and boom... it shows only around 29.5 GB. You start wondering, “Where did the rest of the storage go?” Well, don’t worry. This isn’t a mistake or a manufacturing fault. It all comes down to how data storage is measured and how computers interpret it. Let’s break it down in the simplest way possible. What manufacturers use: Decimal (Base 10) Companies that make pen drives and hard drives use the decimal system to define storage. In this system: 1 KB = 1,000 Bytes 1 MB = 1,000 KB 1 GB = 1,000 MB So a 32 GB pen drive actually means it has 32,000,000,000 bytes of space. What computers use: Binary (Base 2) Computers don’t think in decimal. They use the binary system , where: 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes 1 MB = 1,024 KB 1 GB = 1,024 MB So 1 GB in binary = 1,073,741,824 bytes Now, if we divide the 32,000,000,000 bytes by the binary GB value: 32,000,000,000 ÷ 1,073,741,824 = approx. ...

Why Does My Phone Ring Instantly When Someone Calls? (A Story of Modem, Kernel & Telephony Magic)

📱 How Your Phone Rings Instantly The Complete Journey from Call to Ring 1 🤙 Friend Presses Call Your friend dials your number and hits the call button. The mobile network sends out a paging signal targeted specifically to your phone number. 2 📡 Modem Catches Signal Even while your phone appears idle, the modem hardware is constantly listening to signals from nearby mobile towers. It picks up the paging signal like a walkie-talkie. 3 📞 Telephony Services Interpret The telephony service (built into your OS) reads the incoming signal and prepares your phone to handle the call. It's like a translator between the modem and your phone's software. ...
