Do you know what the signal bar on a phone actually represents? My commute has quite a few areas with good (full or almost full) ‘signal’ but with the no internet exclamation mark.

That’s why I have assumed it’s a bandwidth to the mast problem.

Ultimately, phone networks are not built to cope with commuter trains ☹️

That’s a cool resource. Ty

I think they were trying to make the point that we HAD faster speeds, but it was discovered that most people didn’t really need it and were happy paying less to go slower. They are comparing this to 6G, sure, some will use it, but for most it will be a needless expense.

On the actual supersonic air travel point - eh, is it really needed considering the massive extra energy required?

I have more issues with the fact that I have no usable signal on 1/3 of my commute (closer to 2/3 unusable tuesday-wednesday!) than issues with peak speed.

The R&D money would be better spent laying fibre to phone masts. I suspect it will be spent on dividends instead though ☹️

Edit: unless more research is required to increase users/mast? It’s fine in cities, so I’m assuming it more a bandwidth to the mast issue?

Not much activity I can see on the accounts I looked at?

I think the idea is that you can optimise it for the model or maybe? (Guessing mostly)

The stronger the material the thinner it could be.

There are a lot of properties in the word ‘stronger’ though.

I thought the cross licensing deal between AMD and Intel basically collapses if one gets bought out?

So intel wouldn’t be able to make 64 bit processors any more?

How do you prove an account is legit?

How.is it providing secrecy and result checking at the same time?

I understand it as the receivers were deliberately attacking their competitors satellites (and that this would effect their performance as it was wasting bandwidth).

Countering in this case would be by making their competitors service as bad as theirs?

I assume in this case it’s DDOSing the satellite,not the other way round?

True

Once you have a tower, you can start to upgrade it too. Consoles are all or nothing replacements.

Or things like aluminium smelting/electrolysis.

On crypto, if it’s green energy and there is enough of it, what’s wrong? (It’s not great, and a waste of hardware, but not as awful)

Good for them! Theoretically that should attract industries that need a lot of electricity and everything balances out cost and demand wise.

Did you read the article, they address that and how this detects that (apparently)

It does mention that they send some of these in, and sometimes they get responses back that they are fine.

That covers all of your senior engineers that end up spending more time speccing/investigating things than code.

This kind of tool is probably very useful in ‘fiefdom’ companies where middle managers refuse to fire people because then they lose a headcount, or just protect their cronies. Having a central team that cuts across the company investigating that would be a good idea.

Unfortunately in a lot of cases, I can see people being fired off that even though they are doing other work, just because management don’t understand what they do. Or worse because someone sells the tool as being flawless and they just fire anyone it picks up.

If there was more competition they (probably) wouldn’t be doing this stuff as people would leave.
