  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 gods 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 ther 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.

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Also, it's over 2 1/2 hours long.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Its because of the way they are funded.

  Films are funded through venture capital, and investors are looking for the biggest profit. So modest films struggle to get funding, because investors belive size=quality.
