It's just round trip to Europe from North America (esp western north america) is actually ... an eternity, could easily drift into 100ms -- and not one I can optimize to get rid of. Whereas I can work my way down the software stack and find bottlenecks and deal with them.

Yes I can't control what TV manufacturers do, that is a wild card. But the quote taken out of context is more than a little inflammatory -- the network has a hard physical limit that the local device does not.

FWIW I'm just as dissatisfied with software bloat as the next person. Retro computing is one of my hobbies, and the latency measurements there are something to be envious of.

ChromeOS generally does better in latency measurements than other platforms; much effort was made there, much of it by people I know.
