Well, technically anywhere from 5 to 40, but I still have a nice chance to grow old before libreboot starts building. Also, still slower than dial-up.

I was happy as shit if I had a 4KB connection,back in the day. Hell, my first modem was a 28,800 baud. IE, a theoretical maximum speed of 3.6KB.

    The speeds are listed in kbauds though.

    You know, I'm not sure if you're joking or not.

    Iโ€™m not. kbps === kbauds.

    They listed the speed in kilobits per second. kbps isn't short for kilo "baud"

    What do you think a baud is if not a bit per second?

    It's how fast a signal is capable of changing state per second.

    It's a switching speed. Not a transfer rate.

    You started comparing kB/s to kbauds. Now youโ€™ve started a dishonest argument (moving goal posts). Have a nice life.
