Watching YouTube 360p, emails and other non multitasking. I love it. Kinda like slow cooking.

Kinda surprising that you can do video when 500kbps was the read speed of some floppy drives of old.

An 8 bit micro didn't have bandwidth for more than 256kbps, and hence you only saw them use SD or DD floppies.

  • I routinely watch youtube on 128kbps. I'm not missing out on anything, except loading times, which also holds true for (some) web pages.
