Are you going to rush out this summer and get a new 5g phone?

@Elessar That sounds like me. I don't enjoy having things explained to me by someone who is impatient, or who doesn't really want to teach me.

The ex's former employer did not back things up automatically. I remember once, a big flap occurred because the backup didn't back up.

@4meAndyou Me neither, actually I don't like being explained things but prefer learning them on my own. Through books, practice, trial and error.. I've literally learned my job like that, and even in uni at some point I stopped going to lessons (attendance is not mandatory in my specific uni) and started studying from reference books and my scores actually improved, lol.

Ah yeah, unsupervised automation is the opposite extreme you want to stay away from. The system we use (Veeam), like many others, lets you know if something goes wrong.

@Elessar I, too, have learned a lot, just through my own private reading. Alas...NOT about computers...😂

@Stereoguy The problem with current mobile networks is that the same medium (allocated electromagnetic spectrum) is being shared by an increasingly number of devices, especially in crowded areas such as big cities you can have thousands of devices connected to a single tower, and it's not that you just add another tower in the nearby and solve the issue. And at the same time, wireless networks suffer from high latency (i.e. the time one single unit of data takes to be transmitted from an end to another and viceversa is *much* higher and much more unstable than it is in a cabled or short ranged network like for instance the wi-fi you have at home). Most people and MVOs seem to care only about the [i]throughput [/i](i.e. the "Mbps", how much data can flow through the network in a conventional unit of time) because that's the datum they strategically choose to push in the marketing, but the truth is that you'll have a terrible experience even with a 1Gbps (1000Mbps) network if the latency and congestion are high and increasing.

5G aims to solve the issue by adding a lot of mini-towers especially in crowded areas (think of them like the wifi router you have at home, with more or less the same range and performances), so that there'll be less devices simultaneously connected to each tower, and the distance between every tower and the connected devices is much shorter as well. You'll also save battery power since devices will need to transmit on much shorter distances as well.

@Stereoguy I really don’t need new anything.

@sspec I know but in lockdown stuck at home

cant go out :P

@sspec 😇 those four walls are almost hanging with cloths :P

@Stereoguy Very true!!

@Stereoguy there's more but some require payment by credit card or prepaid card so i can't do those ones and since i lost 200 $ paying it to some Bell idiot account i'm scared now to pay by email or easy web

Thank you. 1) I think I read an article recently that Nokia also has 3g, and the businesses who use 3g will run less risk of loosing connectivity....
2) if Huwei’s ??? Hands are forced .... or feel threatened... they could start “creating connectivity issues for US...something about US needing 5 years to step up 5g side, (and perhaps allowing China time to adjust?) the US- and Germany? Need to build Up production to meet demand...@Stereoguy it’s possible I’m misunderstanding what I am reading

@Stereoguy 🙂

@Stereoguy I'd rather spend the money on a divided paying stock.
