so like we all know what 3G is, with the UMTS/W-CDMA and whatnot

despite american cell carriers trying to gently caress it up, we know that 4G is LTE and also some other bullshit

what the gently caress is 5G? like everything says "oh it's like 4G but with support for all of these unlicensed bands at 5GHz and 60GHz but it's also going to be both cellular and wifi combined and microcells and mesh and IoT IoT IoT IoffuckingT" and I'm wondering if this is anything at all or just idiots shouting

You watched it, you can't unwatch it.
I'm sorry marketing names upset you.

It doesn't matter anyway, you'll probably just buy whatever phone suits your needs and it will work adequately on the currently supported bands for 16-20 months.

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

Everything I have read so far implies that 5G will provide better coverage and density than 4G whilst individual connections will pretty much be the same, it is more of a technology for carriers than users.

i sometimes throw cables away

i mean straight into the bin without spending 10+ years in the box of might-come-in-handy-someday first

im a fucking monster

people flipped out over 3g and 4g, but you never heard about 1g or 2g

thats because there was no 1g or 2g. 3g is really only 1g and 4g is only 2g. you are being deceived. you are getting fewer gs than you think
