Qualcomm haven’t exactly been known for their Linux friendliness on the Snapdragon X Elite chips… I don’t trust a word they say

In a normal world, stupid shit like this world kill a company

Yeah a couple thousand RRC connected UEs will “ddos” a single cell, you’ll get congestion and eventually hit license limits.

But that’s a single cell, even the same cell tower will likely work fine on another sector lol this isn’t jamming

I hate the enshittification going on everywhere but I’d say the whole smart fridge thing was pretty shitty to begin with…

Don’t worry, we’ve got that horrible excuse of a chancellor personally lobbying for them now, all is well my petrol powered friends

Nah seriously fuck that guy, what a fucking shit show

As a long time Ubuntu touch supporter and tester, I unfortunately have to say that it simply isn’t ready for a lot of users at the moment :(

Even if you’re willing to put up with most of its shortcomings, VoLTE device support is extremely limited.

But don’t get me wrong, I REALLY want this stuff to be the future, I think it just needs a bit more time.

Even ignoring that horrendously simple minded reason for not caring about privacy…

You’d still support the CCP lol

I wish I had… Got me a VoLTE capable feature phone and tried but it’s insanely difficult to get people to understand that you’re only available on call or SMS now (+no MMS here) lol

I wouldn’t be surprised if Google stop allowing BL unlocking soon… Following Samsung and Xiaomi (although Xiaomi technically can be unlocked, in reality you’ll not be able to do so nowadays unless you pay someone to do it via remote USB shit for you)

Symbian had package signature fuckery :/

Probably not as fast as they claim either tbh

We typically use fairly modern E-Band Links at work (which this probably is, being marketed as mmWave lol), they do like 3-5 Gbps max at 1 GHz of bandwidth (which already requires really beefy radio equipment, I kinda doubt a super compact one can handle that). If you do XPIC (basically adding another radio at a different polarisation) you can reach higher speeds of course.

Also, the images make it look like they’re using a phased array instead of an actual parabolic antenna so that would reduce gain as well I assume.

All in all I’m sure it works (P2P wireless is not that hard) but I call moderate leves of bullshit

This just sounds like a microwave link? lol

There can still be good content on there tbf?

I don’t use it with the offical client and don’t have an account but I do enjoy watching some channels like Usagi Electric, Cathode Ray Dude or EEVBlog (who is also on Odysee btw)

Germans are gonna start getting out their old cantennas or nanostations and point it at the closest hotspot

Of course I would never do such a thing, being half german, living in Germany. Certainly didn’t live off a nearby restaurants wifi hotspot for almost 2 years.

Heroic seems to work better in my experience, although I guess it might vary from distro to distro and probably also depends on the games you want to play

The article sounds like they’re really well known… never heard of them though lol

Are they popular outside of the US?

Genuine question

Haven’t read the article yet

but ffs, finally

Well you still bought a Google phone

Never heard of a place called Wichita in Kassel
