  • Doesn’t it vary quite a bit by province?

  • This is SEO not a real article.

  • And of course there have been forges launched, including SourceHut, Gitea, Gogs, Forgejo…

  • MKBHD was using mmWave. When 5G first came out, most news stories talked about it being “10 times faster” and that it had a short range, so phone companies would have to put transmitters on every light pole. All of which is true for ultra-wideband/mmWave.

    What those stories missed was that UWB/mmWave isn’t the common 5G. Most 5G is mid-band or low-band, which uses regular towers and has a range of miles. As of 2021, latest data I could find, less than 1% of users were on mmWave.

  • You may be thinking of ultra-wideband, a very fast but extremely rare variant of 5G that only works over short ranges and requires you to be in sight of the transmitter. This is available in some parts of some stadiums, although Verizon tries hard to make it seem like it’s everywhere.

    Normal 5G, such as the midband frequencies that T-Mobile often uses, covers a several-mile radius.

  • As Mark Twain said, “Never discuss politics, semicolons, tabs, or religion in polite company.”

  • But can you connect to the Microsoft Support Usenet server?

  • Not Plex, but yes. I use it with Microsoft Remote Desktop if I need to access a work-related computer that I keep at home while traveling.

    I also use it for the more typical use case of a cloud server that I can ssh into even though it exposes zero ports publicly.

  • There are very few manuals still sold in the US. The holdouts are ultra-budget models or pretentious sports cars. I can count on one hand the number of people I know who can drive manual.

    I can drive one because my dad had an ultra-budget hatchback that I learned on, and later I had one of those pretentious sports cars, which I swapped for something more practical when I had kids. Age: old enough to have kids.

  • I doubt swiping is faster than touch typing but I get what you mean. Sometimes you just want to swipe on a physical keyboard or Ctrl-F something in the real world.

  • Since it’s an Air Force base it could also be used as an airport for tech billionaires’ private jets.

  • There is no one right temperature — it depends on the humidity. In the winter I often have heat at 71. In the summer 68.

  • NASA does this. Looking at the metadata from last year’s moon orbiter photos (like this one), it was shot on a GoPro HERO4 Black. Here NASA scientists talk about the cameras on that mission.

  • Naruhito?

  • The Register likes to use old fashioned British slang and cheeky headlines that punters might find humorous.

  • Brave is a nice browser but I’m not going to trust crypto bros with my privacy.

  • LK-99 is a potential room-temperature superconductor. The Wikipedia article has a good overview, including how attempts to replicate the findings have so far failed.
