5G mms is the high speed service. But its affected by wind, buildings and cars. And the phones that have it are expensive because the circuitry uses heaps of power and the battery is the most expensive part of the phone.

So mms is mainly being promoted for stationary devices, and in buildings that have repeater emitters.

The 5G low band phones are cheaper to make than 4G because the circuitry is more efficient so you can use smaller batteries.

5G has a more efficient algorithm for ordering incoming/outgoing signals, so like-for-like there is higher speed and less freezing. But in new areas the telcos just build fewer towers so the speed is no better than 4G.

Its because of the way they are funded.

Films are funded through venture capital, and investors are looking for the biggest profit. So modest films struggle to get funding, because investors believe size=quality.

It will work like this :

The Department of Communication, or anyone else will make a complaint to ACMA, and they will then make a ruling on it and pass it to the Dept of Communication.

Regardless of the ruling, the minister for Communication will then issue fines if he/she considers that it is "misinformation".

The recipient can ask for a court ruling, but the court can only rule on whether the minister has complied with the law, not whether it is misinformation.

BTW, the ABC has started with a lie ; the law will apply not only to social media, but also search engines, websites and BBSes.

In Australia, the only cheese you could buy in the supermarket in the 1970s was Kraft in the little blue packets sold in the dry goods section.

To buy "real" cheese you had to go to a dairy, or go to the city centre and buy cheese cut off the block and wrapped in greaseproof paper from a contintental delicatessan.

Polyethylene film was not available.

So when it came out and you could buy real cheese in film from the supermarket, Kraft responded by bringing out "more convenient " Kraft Singles, which you didn't have to laboriously (?) cut from the block.

Just about every language is written in C. Even GW-BASIC was written in C (most BASIC interpreters were written in assembly code at the time).

When all the code was being rewritten for Y2K, C was used because it was really the only language that was portable at the time, you could write the program on a PC, and then compile and configure it on a mainframe, or vice versa.

A more pertinent question would be what isn't wriiten in C.

Critical software, like interfaces, machine operation or database systems, are generally not written in C. That's because C code can be dense and obscure. If the original programmer retire or goes missing, and the system crashes, no one else may have a clue what they've actually coded. So a more explicable, higher level language is used and C is quarantined to use in system software where its power and access is useful.

It has a conventional chassis. Only the panels are SS.

The extra weight is entirely due to the weight of the batteries.

The BBC developed its own videotape system in the 1950s. But they had to record it in one take, since there was no way to edit the tapes. There was no cartridge like VHS, they were on long reels of film.

They reused the tapes, thats why many episodes of the first two doctors are missing.

When Sony U-Matic and Philips LP2000 came out in the late 1960s, they discarded the old tapes, the new formats were cheaper and had editing machines.

Distributors only sell new cars, and the subscription is included in the credit plan. New car and fleet buyers are fine with the extra security and backup these services provide.

The distributors don't care a damn what second hand buyers think.

Actually infinity is easy to understand.

If you were to walk in a straight line, you would never get to the end of the earth - it is infinite.

Its finitism that is impossible to understand.

3*(1/3) = 3/3 = 1 3*(1/3) = 3*(0.333...) = 0.999... 0.999... = 1

This a problem of the number base you're using, not infinity. One third is a finite number which cannot be expressed in base 10.

Its salted curds like cheese, but its not matured. Instead mineral salts are added which absorb the water, the same sort of stuff used in corned beef, bacon and ham.

The colouring is artificial. Its naturally a light grey colour.

When you upload a song, you indicate whether it has copyright and who owns it, Then, whenever its played they pay the copyright owner based on an audience size basis, similar to Spotify.

If you don't, the copyright owner informs Google, and they close that link.

Even if you have music playing in the background of an instructional video, the copyright holders will go after you.

Its about 40 cm high btw. Its huge.

Yeah BS. Is the Reddit powermods creating them. That's how they could run hundreds of subreddits simultaneously.

It won't fail because of money. Musk has enough money to fund it out of his petty cash forever.

If it fails, it will fail in the same way the newsnet failed - it becomes full of angry old men screaming about Israel and guns.

Seems more like a standard CD. It can only be written on once.

A punchcard is two dimensional. Actually you can have multiple dimensions on a punch card, the positions of the card can store different data and you can determine what that is by the position of holes on another part of the card.

Whereas a paper tape, or a magnetic tape is serial and has only one dimension (you can divide the tape into different bands though).

The chassis is ordinary carbon steel.

Until you got a dent and had to replace an entire panel at a huge cost.

What are on about ? You can work SS, its not white cast iron or anything.

Maybe, but the cyber truck has especially bad rear visibility. Worse.than any of its competitors

Worse than a van ? No.

Not to mention it’s 3000 kilos.

A model X weighs 2.3 t. Because of the batteries.

An F150 Lightning weighs 3 tonnes and its bed is made from aluminium.

The US license test is a joke in most states, and then people are allowed to drive 3 metric ton vehicles from a 10 minute drive.

In the US you can drive a rigid truck of almost any size on a bog standard car licence. A 6 t truck with a capacity of 40 t if you want. GM sells an Isuzu cab forward truck (normally with a mildly tuned diesel four) with a frigging massive petrol V8.
