      Read the linked article; this was a different network using the same name.

        yeaah I fucked up, I didn’t read far enough into the article hence why I deleted my comment a second after posting😬

        That’s another poor mistake that I’m gonna try to not repeat

          No worries, The Register hid the clarification about the two different networks way down at the end, so it’s an easy mistake. I honestly think they need to put that note at the beginning to avoid confusion.

            Agreed. I really hate it when publications add disclaimers and revisions or updates to the bottom of the page. It’ll always benefit their readers anyways if they decided to put that information at the top of the page
