5G mms is the high speed service. But its affected by wind, buildings and cars. And the phones that have it are expensive because the circuitry uses heaps of power and the battery is the most expensive part of the phone.

So mms is mainly being promoted for stationary devices, and in buildings that have repeater emitters.

The 5G low band phones are cheaper to make than 4G because the circuitry is more efficient so you can use smaller batteries.

5G has a more efficient algorithm for ordering incoming/outgoing signals, so like-for-like there is higher speed and less freezing. But in new areas the telcos just build fewer towers so the speed is no better than 4G.

In Australia, the only cheese you could buy in the supermarket in the 1970s was Kraft in the little blue packets sold in the dry goods section.

To buy “real” cheese you had to go to a dairy, or go to the city centre and buy cheese cut off the block and wrapped in greaseproof paper from a contintental delicatessan.

Polyethylene film was not available.

So when it came out and you could buy real cheese in film from the supermarket, Kraft responded by bringing out "more convenient " Kraft Singles, which you didn’t have to laboriously (?) cut from the block.

Its salted curds like cheese, but its not matured. Instead mineral salts are added which absorb the water, the same sort of stuff used in corned beef, bacon and ham.

The colouring is artificial. Its naturally a light grey colour.

What incentive would they have? What competition is there?

They would have no incentive of course. A Win11 system with the TPM turned off would be infected with malware straight away.

All the current major distros of linux require TPM.

TPM prevents users from downloading random kinder eggs that install ransomware. Any business that disables TPM is crazy.

Linux distro version depositories are deleted after 2 years.

Distributors only sell new cars, and the subscription is included in the credit plan. New car and fleet buyers are fine with the extra security and backup these services provide.

The distributors don’t care a damn what second hand buyers think.

It won’t fail because of money. Musk has enough money to fund it out of his petty cash forever.

If it fails, it will fail in the same way the newsnet failed - it becomes full of angry old men screaming about Israel and guns.

Physical media or local downloads is the way to go.

PS5 games are like 90 GB. A DVD ROM stores 4.7 GB.

Its over.

Maybe, but the cyber truck has especially bad rear visibility. Worse.than any of its competitors

Worse than a van ? No.

Not to mention it’s 3000 kilos.

A model X weighs 2.3 t. Because of the batteries.

An F150 Lightning weighs 3 tonnes and its bed is made from aluminium.

The US license test is a joke in most states, and then people are allowed to drive 3 metric ton vehicles from a 10 minute drive.

In the US you can drive a rigid truck of almost any size on a bog standard car licence. A 6 t truck with a capacity of 40 t if you want. GM sells an Isuzu cab forward truck (normally with a mildly tuned diesel four) with a frigging massive petrol V8.

It has a conventional chassis. Only the panels are SS.

The extra weight is entirely due to the weight of the batteries.

Until you got a dent and had to replace an entire panel at a huge cost.

What are on about ? You can work SS, its not white cast iron or anything.

The chassis is ordinary carbon steel.

Obscenity is not protected by the first amendment.

The BBC developed its own videotape system in the 1950s. But they had to record it in one take, since there was no way to edit the tapes. There was no cartridge like VHS, they were on long reels of film.

They reused the tapes, thats why many episodes of the first two doctors are missing.

When Sony U-Matic and Philips LP2000 came out in the late 1960s, they discarded the old tapes, the new formats were cheaper and had editing machines.

Yeah make stuff to sell to a monopoly, genius move.
