See this is downvoted - many read “gypsy” as a slur, which I didn’t know for years.
Made me livin in the fiber optic mines. Mine all day, mine all night in those fiber mines.
I was living in a world where I wasn’t aware that it’s a thing to steal cables. Thanks. But aren’t fiber optic more expensive?
Generally when I hear people discussing fiber the big costs is actually running the cables and terminating and splicing the ends, the actual cable itself is relatively inexpensive from my understanding.
But with regard to stealing cable, you really can’t do much with a fiber cable on the secondary market besides using it for fiber, and you also would probably need to re-terminate it that can be very costly. Compared to copper or other type of metal cables that can be sold very easily for scrap metal. That can be melted down and made into something else or just reused as cable.
No, Fiber cables are really cheap. They are basically just glass with some reflective coat.
It is just that the connectors and more importantly the work of attaching those connectors to the cable that makes them expensive. They need to be welded in a dust-free environment, and require lots of skill to get right.
Also, copper cables capable of transmitting high data rates aren’t easily manufactured either. Think of shielding, twisted pairs of wires, etc. And they don’t even contain a lot of copper.

Damn, and here I was thinking we left all of the garbage like this comment and poster back on Reddit.

I love seeing people explain the obvious to accounts I’ve blocked, especially when it’s clear they said some racist shit.
You know someone is extra racist when they manage to make a racist comment on a picture whose only sentient being is a dog.
Signs like that wouldn’t be necessary if we weren’t living in a hypercapitalist dystopia.
Or if people just weren’t fucking thieves. Don’t defend criminals.
Buddy, if prices keep rising like this. I will be a criminal pretty fucking soon. Shit is bonkers out here.
Acknowledging the causes for crime isn’t defending criminals. You will not be able to condemn these effects away.
Steal the sign instead

Not with that attitude it doesn’t.
