Pretty good for a country that ranks 141st in the global index. Latency is lower but I'm using VPN to show real non-fabricated speed.

I found the Ktir Salbe skit that promoted the old energy drink "Zombie" which played the cranberries in their commercials.

I made a thread not long ago about remembering an energy drink from the early 2010s that played Zombie by the Cranberries in their commercial and I mentioned a ktir salbe skit that promoted it. I was wondering if anyone else remembers it since I couldn't find anything online and it is a stuck memory as it was the first time I got introduced to the cranberries and I was a kid who was into scary stuff like zombies back then, but I finally came across the ktir salbe skit. The drink shows up at 1:45. Nostalgia.

I am confused about battery charging priority.

Hello, so most hybrid inverters have three options for battery charging priority: solar only, solar first, solar + utility. Solar only is self-explanatory, I am confused about the differences between the last two.

Assume in the first case you have enough solar generation to feed your load AND to charge your batteries at set maximum charging current, how would these two priority options behave?

Assume in the second case, you have solar generation enough to feed your load and to charge your battery, but not enough to reach the set maximum charging current, how would these two priority options behave?

Finally, if there is solar generation but not enough to feed your load, I assume the utility will supply the rest and charge the batteries on its own in both priorities. The same goes for no solar generation at all.

I have a misconception about ping in gaming.

Hello, so I have been wondering about something. Ping is the time it takes for a packet to reach the device you are pinging AND the time it takes to reach back to you summed up. It is in two directions. TCP packets go back and forth for redundancy and retransmit when lost, so the time should be exactly the same as your ping results. UDP packets only transmit without ever caring if it was recieved or lost. The time it takes to reach should be about half of the ping results since it is only in one direction.

Real time applications like calling and gaming, as to my understanding, use UDP and not TCP.

I am in Lebanon and I think every international connection here must be routhed through France first. A packet from Lebanon to France should take about 27ms and a full roundtrip ping is 55ms. Gaming on French servers has the least possible latency of around 55 to 70ms. My question is why is the latency equal to that of the ping results, which is back and forth? Shouldn't my controls be sent in one direction only from Lebanon to France and take 27ms only, and the controls of other players be sent to me from France in one direction only with also a latency of 27ms? Why is the latency always equal to forward and backward directions summed up to 55ms? Thanks in advance.
