Well, technically anywhere from 5 to 40, but I still have a nice chance to grow old before libreboot starts building. Also, still slower than dial-up.

You know, I'm not sure if you're joking or not.
I’m not. kbps === kbauds.
They listed the speed in kilobits per second. kbps isn't short for kilo "baud"
What do you think a baud is if not a bit per second?
It's how fast a signal is capable of changing state per second.
It's a switching speed. Not a transfer rate.
You started comparing kB/s to kbauds. Now you’ve started a dishonest argument (moving goal posts). Have a nice life.
Lol. You're just too confused. I was comparing them, because a 28,000 baud modem happens to have a max transfer rate of 3.6 KB. I can't help it that you don't know what you're taking about.
