didn’t Verizon overbuild most, if not all, of the area with FiOS? not sure how they’re getting away with it in the rural regions unless there are still CLECs operating. All this to say… fiber still has the issue of power outages and nonfunctioning customer backup batteries in the ONTs and I vaguely remember some drama over Verizon not offering replacement batteries or providing backups at all.
I think you mean McDonnell Douglas, it’s what happens when companies fire all the engineers in charge and replace them with beancounters.
it would have been perfection if they had done this last thursday (on 4/04), add another fail to the list.
i’m almost certain there’s a hentai like this
100%, this is a trap being set for retail investors… not touching this even if I had a 1000ft pole.
Haven’t looked up the station’s license to see how much power they could have been pushing, but if I were the “authorities”, I’d definely be checking local hospitals for records of anyone coming in with mild to severe [RF] burns. With [low frequency] AM stations, the tower itself is basically the other half of the antenna electrically… probably lit them up like a Christmas tree.
i can sort of understand at&t being at&t as they continue to piss hundreds of millions away on subpar investments while continuing to bitch about being poor and needing government handouts to make the boo-boos hurt less, but what does google have to gain from this? and i could have swore that at some point it was mentioned starlink is/was going to use google data centers as PoPs for their ground stations, but maybe i’m miss remembering…
turn your key, sir!
it wouldn’t hurt. i wish my work would just give me a VM to remote into instead of dealing with it on my network, at least in my case all the EDA tools I use are ran on Linux anyway… my last employer put so much spyware “security” software on their work issued laptops that Suricata on my router/firewall would light up like a Christmas tree. no idea what it was trying to do without breaking out Wireshark and analyzing captures, but that’s when i said enough is enough… can’t be trusted.
amen, i love EndeavorOS. i’ve jettisoned all Windows support in my house and anything that needs Windows gets put into an isolated VLAN that can’t talk to anything else. and for the archaic business crap that only has a Windows release, CrossOver is a godsend. same CodeWeavers devs that made Proton and is essentially Wine Premium.
heeelllloooo ciinndddy
it probably wouldn’t be too hard to diplex it with one of the low band antennas, wouldn’t be great reception but it’d give you something for FM stations that are close enough. a relatively big ass coupling inductor and small series cap before the antenna tuner shouldn’t do too much insertion loss damage, these cellular front ends are lossy AF already… and the lowest low band freq is like 6x higher from the FM band, so isolation should be ok… dunno, obviously adds more cost than what it’s worth to the bean counters in charge i’m sure.
from what i recall almost every QCOM chipset has the circuitry baked in, it’s just disabled. https://www.wired.com/2016/07/phones-fm-chips-radio-smartphone/
it’s also a big FU to everyone accessing Gmail’s web interface over geostationary satellite internet connections. i had to deal with that shit for a few months and HTML mode was the only way to ease the pain from how bad the latency can get. the “normal” view would hang like a mofo all the time.
Except for me
You know why?
'Cause I had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
seems like this is an area that a nice “arrangement” could be made, that is, US congress: you grant T-Mobile their band 41 licenses that are being held up by your own incompetence in exchange for T-Mobile actually addressing their own repeated incompetence involving anything related to data security. sell it to the public under the guise that it would be detrimental to the US consumer by letting T-Mobile continue to expand their public reach while completely ignoring the importance of data privacy and security of said public… and you can go on taking bribes from AT&T and Verizon in the meantime, dunno, sounds like a win-win to me.
environmentalize, motherfucker
TSMC
edit: downvote all you want, the fundamental circuit level design is not in question here… it’s how you make the damn thing and TSMC can do it better. intel talks a big game yet continues to fail on delivering any of it. i’ll believe half of what they say when i see it… and it helps that good ol’ uncle sam is helping them out, they’re gonna need it.
