title: How is LBRY different from a toaster?
|
|
category: differences
|

|
|
|
|
Toasters transfer heat via radiative EM waves in the infrared spectrum to brown bread and make people happy.
|
|
|
|
LBRY transfers data via EM waves in the infrared spectrum* to deliver content and make people happy.
|
|
|
|
LBRY is also brave and little. So we're basically, fundamentally the same as a toaster.
|
|
|
|
\**Assumes fiber-optic transmission.*
|
|
|
|
There happen to be a lot of technological advancements that have happened to toasters. These scientific feats apply to LBRY, as well.
|
|
|
|
## Multithreading
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Properly-applied multithreading has allowed the distribution of workloads in LBRY, freeing up time that could have been spent waiting for required actions.
|
|
|
|
## Multi-role, multi-function
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LBRY can service many forms of data, such as videos, pictures, and sourdough.
|
|
|
|
### Network optimization
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this day and age of cool acronyms (such as IEEE 802.11**ax**) and now-common internet integration into devices, LBRY too has joined the crowd. TLNI (Toaster-Level Network Integration) technology has been fused with LBRY, permitting speeds at least as fast as your dial-up modem.
|
|
|
|
### Open-source
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Proprietary toasters may try to limit what you can put in them and your ability to look into the toaster's operation. LBRY is a different kind of toaster. Its full source code is available online at [its GitHub repos](https://github.com/lbryio).
|
|
|
|
### Mobile
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lightweight versions of TLNI and LBRY have been made and ported to Android. Take LBRY on the go!
