    No, you're mistaken. It can still operate on a shared medium, the abundance of cheap-ass switches (which aren't 'intelligent' as you call them) hasn't changed the actual technology.

  17. It's a complicated thing, but on Irish Judge Orders 'The Internet' To Delete Video · · Score: 4, Funny

    technically it's not that difficult. There are engineers who know which screws to remove, where the hooks and claws sit, etc, in order to disassemble the Internet and pull out that video. It's a matter of cost, mainly, and while it is a daunting task already to dismantle the machine, it's even more difficult to properly put it back together in the end.
    I wouldn't be the one to risk that, tbh. What if you, say, forget a gear, or mismatch the pressure release valve?

    Like there was any fundamental difference between hardware and software engineering. Once you can truly automate one, same is possible for the other.
