    🤔 I wonder how much data a single bird could feasibly carry. Quite a bit more than when this standard was first thought up I’m sure. You can get some incredibly high capacity sd cards now.

      I imagine it’s quite a lot. You already brought up high-capacity SD cards, so at that point it’s figuring out how much weight the bird can carry in terms of 1TB SD cards or similar.

        Yeah, it’s not the bandwidth that’s the problem, it’s the ping.

        Well, ping and packet loss.

          I’d assume range too. Hard to go across the ocean by pigeon.

      Its not a question of where it could grasp the data, it’s a question of weight ratios
