Actually that’s a valid payment method for Mullvad VPN

You’re assuming that those 40% of Xbox gamers are also 40% of Xbox game pass subscribers

10m is not even a speck of the gaming landscape

Well I know iphones are great quality devices & have long lasting support, but if I can’t tinker with it then to me it’s hardly better than a gilded brick

By “tinker with it” I mean installing apps like youtube revanced, playing morrowind, having access to a terminal etc

I think it has more to do with compute speed. I have a trash camera but high-end CPU on my device, QR codes are instantaneous

all that effort and all I care about is scanning QR codes :(

100% with you on this. All I need is a QR code scanner. I don’t care about the pixel count, I want everything in my phone to be in performance / screen quality

heh it truly depends on a lot of factors. I don’t want to “cheap out” on a high-end windows laptop, their thermals are shit, the battery life is non-existent, the keyboard is trash, and the computer frame are rarely decent.

A macbook is expensive, yes, but I’ve never experienced having to doubt the hardware, or get weird issues with it. It’s a peace of mind I’m willing to pay a premium for. I even have a mac mini as a server for the extremely low power consumption & extremely good CPU performance (seriously, this thing competes with i9s for a fraction of the power (I’m exclusively interested in single thread applications))

As for iphones & apple watches, I like to tinker with my stuff way too much for them to make sense to me (which my macbook allows me to do as much as I want)

I’m exclusively talking about my experience with apple silicon, idk how it was before the M1 chips came out.

ngl I’d like to know how this article was written – and the dozens of similar articles I could find around.

It’s terrible, and the few details given are misleading. Here is a post (translated from the original) I found on chinese internet (Baidu) talking about the topic.

Chinese telecom giants Huawei and China Unicom announced the launch of the first 10G network worldwide, with download speeds of 9,834 megabits per second and upload speeds of 1,008 megabits per second. At the same time, the delay is only three milliseconds, which makes the network one of the fastest and most advanced networks in the world. 10G is coming, and the world is still catching up with 5G.

When most countries around the world were still worried about the coverage of 5G base stations, China had already taken the lead in opening the door to the 10G era. What does a download speed of 9.8Gbps mean? A 20GB 4K movie can be finished in 20 seconds. This kind of overwhelming advantage is like driving a J-20 to see others playing with paper airplanes. A delay of three milliseconds rewrites the rules of the game

E-sports players should applaud wildly at this moment-the delay of 3ms is faster than the speed of human neural response. Areas that require zero error, such as remote surgery and autonomous driving, are finally waiting for their “oxygen”. Ericsson’s best 5G record tested last year was 8ms, and China directly inserted the benchmark to the top of Mount Everest. Huawei’s millimeter wave black technology can’t hide it. The key to this breakthrough lies in the application of the 26GHz millimeter wave band. Just like expanding a single lane to ten lanes, Huawei’s AAU (active antenna unit) technology has greatly improved signal transmission efficiency. The U.S. FCC will not auction this part of the spectrum until 2022, and the technological gap is already clear at a glance.

Don’t rush to change your mobile phone. The 10G ecosystem has just started. Don’t rush to smash the 5G mobile phone in your hand. At present, the terminal equipment that supports 10G has not yet been mass-produced. Just like in the early days of 5G commercial use, no matter how fast the network ran, it had to wait for the terminal to keep up. However, according to the iteration speed of Chinese manufacturers, this transition period is probably shorter than the popularity of net celebrities.

The true portrayal from following the race to leading the way. In 2016, China’s 5G patents accounted for less than 20%, and China accounted for 40.3% of global 6G patent applications in 2023. This time the 10G commercial is like a beautiful shot back, making the narrative of “technological hegemony” more and more like a fantasy of self-comfort.

No. It’s because it’s cellular 10G. The article is terrible though

It’s cellular

It’s not even for the home lol, this is cellular. and yeah I cant find a reason for it, one of the reasons mentioned is medical procedures as the network only adds a 3ms delay

This is cellular

This is 10G cellular

This is cellular though

I have no idea, they’re saying they’re basing the deployment on Huawei 50G networks, sooo I think this is either the author who didn’t understand the assignment or a terrible translation?

Edit: well it seems like it’s 10G as in cellular. Every article is absolutely trash so I searched in Chinese and found this article (translated) which compares it to 5G and mentions the use of new wavelengths to transmit the data

Edit2: here is the full translated article since the linked translation doesn’t seem to work anymore

Well yeah but shift insert is annoying as hell since the keys are so far apart

You’re getting caught in bad faiths arguments from the right. MtF athletes do not retain any exceptional advantage against cisgender ones.

I believe you when you say you support the LGBT cause, but then please educate yourself on the topic and stop defending this position.

what does this have to do with this post
