an actual usage example that was given by a lot of 5g pushers is i poo poo you not, mobile surgery

"sorry little timmy died because it started raining outside"


the media is eating this poo poo right up without putting in too much thoughts

Remote surgery has always been the go-to pull it out of my rear end explanation.
I poo poo you not, in the UK, 3G was marketed with the exact same promise back in the 00's.

Interestingly enough, what it was actually used for was sharing the video of the rape of a teenage girl in a cinema bathroom on launch day.

I’m not going to search this story out, but did they catch and prosecute the people responsible?

i searched this morning.

I read it in an old-timey newspaper, idk if its online, i couldn't find anything (and the search results were grim).

Yes, they were caught - if I remember the details correctly, they had travelled from London to the south coast (Brighton) for the purpose.
(CCTV was relatively commonplace even back then)

welp the thread just took a dark turn

but that's comparable to christchurch shooter doing lower bitrate stream over 4g and the dumb part is that it's literally causing conspiracy theories saying the whole thing is fake or a false flag operation due to ejected bullet casings just disappear on the dark carpet instead of bad video compression over 4g

yeah, my b, apols.

it just irks me seeing the exact same lazy marketing every time, vs the realities as we've seen time and again.

I'll go back to shutting up in the corner.
