Say it again, friend.

I don’t think sms will go away, that ping is fundamental to GSM & LTE so far as I can tell.

You may need an app that explicitly taps into the sms feature though

That’s what the article theoretically exemplifies, avoiding emission in the first place is the best bet.

If they’re ok with the resulting technical shortfalls, cool. Another company degrades back into the mire of mediocrity.

Spot on. What a terrible thing our company incentives have devolved into.

Yeah, it sounds like Qualcomm is driving straight at a cliff’s edge in terms of their reputation…

I really can’t imagine this going well for Qualcomm, if the article is true.

It smells like there’s a lot of smoke around their implementation of the benchmarks, and consumers will immediately discover the fire when the time arrives and devices are in-hand.

Not knocking your choices, just to be clear. I do in fact like keeping up with entertainment and arts, can’t really get concerts, symphonies and plays out in the hills. For me and many others, cities are great. There are places that are still nestled in the hills with small town vibes in soCal, check out Silverado canyon as an example.

I camp when I want to reconnect to nature, and ride my bicycle all over the place. Cities can be very beautiful in their own right, though I admittedly have an engineer’s bias when viewing.

I’m very much not a desert person, but the scale of the inland valley, the quiet beauty of Joshua tree, etc… Moved from socal, but there was a lot of beauty that doesn’t call you to it loudly, you just suddenly notice and enjoy it.

Joshua tree looks like a bunch of rocky hills… Till you notice they’re all rounded and stacked perfectly. You notice how arid it is, and then notice green leaves in spite of that.

If you’re observant, there’s beauty everywhere natural.

I’m enjoying the hell out of just my commute here in Seattle, on a motorcycle in the rain.

Mt Rainier is unbelievable, the way it looms.

Same. Been watching a lot of film noir actually. The third man, double indemnity, strangers on a train. What happened to story telling?

You’re welcome, low-capability product.

You’re using arguments my own grandfather heard, merely replacing paper with computers. We ride together on this tandem bicycle called society: some do, some plan, and some like me do both.

Don’t generalize, it’s foolish at best.

Why?

Lmao, perseverant yes. The rest of that sentence sounds like sadness & jealousy masquerading as projection. Or is my challenging you too docile?

Yes.

Differential pricing.

Not the cheapest, there’s 17-4 and 18-8 before 304.

I’ve set family up with a lorex system, setup was pretty straightforward and it works well. No monthly subscription fees rock.

First point is not relevant, fusion has been chronically underfunded for far too long. The money being spent on fusion r&d is far less than the money going to renewables deployment, and you advocate cannabilizing even that???

I won’t go down the list of how many technical contributions are coming out of fusion, just know that there are a lot, that help make both renewables and non-renewable more efficient. How do you switch tremendous amounts of current at extreme voltages, very quickly? The answer directly impacts overall efficiency of everything from EVs to micro & macro-grids. Usually it’s a pick-two-of-the-three, but switch systems are being used to solve these exact issues, successfully.

As for why I’m hostile? Read the previous two paragraphs again, maybe something will jump out at you.
