Once you become one with the high ping, you gain superpowers.
A crate full of microSD cards shipped as cargo could deliver speeds like this with a ping time measured in hours
Now i wonder what would be the average transmission speed of a rocket full of SD cards to another planet, compared to wirelessly transmitting that data?
That ping would be weeks or months btw.
That superpower is mere strength just from slamming many keyboards/mice/controllers at the wall and/or floor.
