Wi-Fi 8 is the first wireless upgrade in years that isn't chasing speed
Reply in thread
I think the standard exists, but is optional. So if WiFi 8 makes it mandatory, there’s no more goofy non-implementation or partial implementations and everyone (and every manufacturer/system) can expect the same behavior.

Phoenix tried a reflective coating on black asphalt; noon surface heat fell 12°F
Reply in thread
I think the argument is that being hit by sunbeams from both sides causes less heat exposure than by the sun from above and asphalt that gets beat on by the sun and radiates heat back up.
I think I’ve seen other places use infrared reflective paint only to avoid excess heat and get similar results.

Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US

Kind of. GSM (which all but Verizon and formerly Sprint used) let most any phone on the network. CDMA let carriers pick and choose compatible devices. In the early 2010s when Verizon was attempting to buy more spectrum for its 4G network, Google put themselves as a potential buyer, but they wanted the FCC to set a rule for the spectrum that said any phone compatible had to be allowed onto the network. Verizon won that auction and since then Verizon’s been way more open on what they allow.
And with Sprint being purchased by T-Mobile, it would make more sense at this point to have a phone certified for AT&T and T-Mobile and Verizon would just have to let it on the network. These days, a phone being “certified” is Moore just a carrier making the statement of “we’ve tested the phone and we do know it works on the network.“ it doesn’t mean an uncertified phone will never work, it just means that this one should work by all metrics they’re able to tell.

I’m not sure if it’s crazier that statement was made or the fact that I read it and agreed with it before I even thought how crazy of a time this is.

Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader
Reply in thread
Because they went in wanting to find a way to make Zelenskyy seem unreasonable. They have no intention of helping Ukraine at all and now it's going to be because he didn't immediately kiss Trumps feet.

Dystopian Young Adult... Thank god that shit is over
Reply in thread
I mean, it was a book wrote for teenagers, it definitely went more for the YA title than “hugely impactful peace of thought provoking literature” but the point was, it at least had some kind of backbone compared to the others that seemed to try to ride off of the Hunger Games.

Dumb question but if I download a movie from YouTube do I get "that kind message" from my ISP?
Reply in thread
I work for an ISP (smaller, not a nationwide company). We genuinely don't care what you use your internet connection for until we get a legal notice and then we do what's required by law.

If I spent my career pretending to be indignant at the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the government while cosplaying as someone trying to fix the problem, I’d also be scared of the guy who showed it’s not only possible to bring about positive change, but possible to do in less than one term.
