    MmWave is basically useless and I wish people would stop marketing it. Only if you’re right next to the tower and facing it you’ll get those advertised speeds. If you turn or go inside, bam they’re gone. 
    Without the speeds reported using it 5G isn’t that special.  It should probably be called 4.5G.

    “High quality “ news?  That’s an oxymoron. 

    This is a clear example of a deep-pocketed company trying to control the news content one can see in an effort to create news, sway minds, and establish/maintain a narrative of their choosing. 

    As opposed to what?  
    Google is taking readers to the website of their choice currently.  You can choose to go to Fox or CNN (etc) if you choose.

    Google will be purchasing content in the future.  There are no “alternative” facts, there are just different interpretations.  If you’re getting your news from Twitter or Facebook, you’re just reading B.S.

    If the content they purchase is high quality, covering both sides of issues and laying out the facts as they are known (given by professionals in the field) that will be a huge improvement over the alternative.

    People quote so much B.S to me lately (on COVID) anything would be an improvement.

    I.e. The flu kills more people than COVID!
    Then they repeat it over and over, as if it would make it true through repetition.

    Excuse me, I can do my own math using the CDC’s website as data.
    USA Flu Deaths: Est. Ave. 30,656 over the last 9 years (no est. for this year).
    Last time I checked 30,656 is less than 210,357 (current COVID-19 deaths, also an estimate)

    If there was a reliable source of data + expert opinions by real virologists that would be useful.  No I’m not interested in the opinion of Joe Plummer on Facebook, who’s qualifications is he gets sick a lot.

  • Justice Department unveils legislation to alter Section 230 protections

    I frequently get censored online... I don’t curse or attack anyone, my comments just disappear.

    I stopped commenting (or going to) sports.yahoo.com because the posts would just randomly disappear.  Frequently, I’m just saying the same thing as 100 other people.

    Censorship lives! ...and they want to make it worse?

    I suspect most of these social media companies have AI’s removing content.  I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all outsourced to India, etc.  Who are they going to sue?  This is politicians being politicians... they’re probably catering to the people that can barely use a computer.

    ”Tough on crime!”
    “War on drugs!”

    It all sounds good, until the policies are actually implemented.  Then, it’s a bureaucratic mess and a money pit...

  • Twelve years later, Apple is still trying to erase mac.com email addresses

    What’s the fuss about?  I created my own domain so I’ll never have to worry about what someone else is doing.  It’s cheap and I can move it around wherever I like.  It comes in real handy to create temp email accounts so spam does come into my main.

    i.e. becauseitwasrequiredtoseecontent@xyz.com (foff@xyz.com)

    This will be as successful as 3D movies, except it won’t be the animation that make people dizzy but the price.
