gollark: Many more logic gates, some of which are useful.
gollark: There are probably weird ternary logic gates too.
gollark: They have a bit of a monopolies problem I heard, though probably faster connections in some places.
gollark: Modern wired display connectors need at least gigabytes per second. The latest version of DisplayPort goes up to 80Gbps...
gollark: Here in the UK something like 30Mbps is the common available internet connection speed outside of cities, which means a lot of compression and/or low framerate and/or resolution.
