Could someone explain why sometimes cat4 and cat6 are included in phone specifications? They're ethernet cable standards, right

SinineSiil posted:Could someone explain why sometimes cat4 and cat6 are included in phone specifications? They're ethernet cable standards, right Pretty sure this is a UK thing. Cat6 and Cat4 are specific LTE standards of speed. Where normally you might just see LTE Cat6 is basically a faster LTE antenna built in than a CAT4 etc.

Tunga posted:Can you given an example/link? Some context may be helpful. https://www.klick.ee/htc-one-m9-1#more-info-tab Third tab is technical specifications, they say the 4G speed is CAT6, which is total nonsense to me. They have been adding that to phone specs for about 2 months now. Today I checked gsmarena and it looks like they include CAT standard in their phone specifications as well? What does this mean? I wasn't told anything about this wireless CAT6 in networking classes. thebushcommander posted:Pretty sure this is a UK thing. Cat6 and Cat4 are specific LTE standards of speed.

A proportion of engineers (over 20%) that worked on the spec were Apple employees and Apple was the first to champion the standard on their computers. They basically created the USB-C ecosystem for their own products. Standards are bad for business when you're a company like Apple. This might sound a bit tinfoil but I wouldn't be surprised if they planned out what they did with USB-C.

Cripes, guy could have pissed and moaned about the mono speaker or the single-piece backing glass incorporating the lens but no he had to go with the volume rocker not being a mushy lump of rubberized plastic.

Not when users have increasing dongle fatigue. Nobody wants to buy a set of 6 new $30 dongles every time apple decides they want a new connector. Especially when the hardware they need the dongles for itself is getting far more expensive.

It's nice to see Google Store shipping practices haven't changed since they started selling devices on the play store. Tuesday night get notice of shipment, says delivery the following day, nothing arrives and then hours later on the day it was supposed to deliver it updates saying it shipped again, this time from a different city, but now with no estimate delivery date. Fucken sweet.

I can vouch that th 6P Charger works just fine with it's included cable to charge anything else that is USB-C so far. Works on various HTC devices but everything with QC capabilities it drops to normal USB 2.0 charge speeds vs the Rapid Charge of the USB-C Spec. I will note that the Nexus 5X charger does not appear to charge a Pixel which I am guessing is a good thing rather then zap the thing into uselessness. Going to box that up and keep the 5X/Charger separate from anything else.

Nah, it seems like Apple was a case of Left and Right hand not talking to each other. If they'd been planning to gently caress it over they wouldn't have done what they did with the MacBook Pro. If they'd gone full USB-C they'd be in a much better state right now, since they'd have been able to just ship USB-C headphones that could plug into both an iPhone and a MacBook Pro and you could charge from the computer with a simple USB-C cable and there wouldn't have been as much to make fun of.

Tunga posted:His issue was never that the buttons don't click properly, it was somehow even more spergtacular: they move very slightly in the button holes, like probably half a mm, so you can wobble them a tiny amount. That was it. The funny thing is is my Pixel XL does wobble a bit, but I love the tactile feel of the buttons. My Ipad Air doesn't do that, but the buttons are kinda mushy and don't really feel as pleasing.

If they'd been planning to gently caress it over they wouldn't have done what they did with the MacBook Pro. The real problem with the new headphones is that they're abandoning an established ecosystem that's been around since the 1950s for a new ecosystem that consists of one device and one pair of headphones. Expanding that ecosystem to two devices wouldn't be much better. Really apart from space concerns there's no reason to abandon the 3.5mm jack.

Tunga posted:USB-C is not "two devices". It's every computer and every phone going forwards. Not right now but in a couple of years it'll be present on all new computers and eventually it'll replace all the old USB connectors entirely. He's talking about Lightning, though even that's not accurate as every Lightning iOS device can use Lightning headphones. Alternatively he's talking about Airpods, but, again, anything with Bluetooth can use those. Some just use them a bit better

USB-C is still a decent chunk larger than microUSB so I don't know that we'll ever be fully rid of that connector on new devices. There's a lot of really small things that charge via MicroUSB and the new connector may be a bit too large.
