  • FAA announces agreement with AT&T, Verizon on 5G expansion

    Please note that the 5G profile in France and similar countries in the EU are different because they use a fraction of the power US companies implementation ascribes to.

  • 5G expansion will cause 'catastrophic' economic crisis, airlines claim

    genovellegenovelle
    The carriers are using Europe as a shield but never remember to mention the fact that European carriers using 5G do so a much lower power ratings that they are here.

    My 8 year old was trying to FaceTime a friend and found out their mom gave them an Android. She wanted him to use duo that requires a Google account (not!) he was like dude, you need an iPhone. Just FaceTime me when you get you iPad back.

    I'd say the opposite is possibly true in the EU. For years Messages has been a rarely used option as far as I can tell while WhatsApp has been a must use for almost every person I know.

    My wife has never ever used Messages for IM. I only know one person that still uses sms for regular messages and that's on Android.

    I use WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber and Signal.

    Every now and then I see waves of people appearing as new users on Telegram but I'd say WhatsApp is still the IM client that reigns supreme here. 
    They are missing sooo much by using 3rd party Apps. One of the best features is that when sending to someone new, it will revert to a text automatically if the user is not on the iMessages network

    I like to compare Apple vs Intel with Tesla vs GM (possibly Ford). GM is definitely done, they have no way to even try and catch Tesla. They can talk the talk, like Intel, but talk is cheap. Sure, GM will continue to make vehicles until the money runs out but like Intel they really don’t have anything that compares favorably in the long term to Tesla/Apple. Game, set already has happened for both. We’ll see how long it takes for match. 
    I'm always impressed with how little actual knowledge of the automotive market Tesla supporters have. Thanks for the anecdotal evidence of that.

    Meanwhile, Ford, Toyota, VW, GM, and just about every automotive company generates more profits than Tesla. How can that be?

    Oh wait, you're talking about the stock...

    Meanwhile, Ford, et al, are having to add ever more production for their EV trucks. Meanwhile, Tesla is still attempting to define what it's Cybertruck will be.

    Ford and GM are simply dropping an electric motor and batteries into existing vehicles. Yes, Tesla has not sold as many cars as the others although the Model 3 has been the highest selling vehicle in the US. Ford and GM publish lots of garbage saying everything is under control and they’ll make millions of EVs. No they won’t. Toyota says they’ll build BEVs bug that’s only to keep federal agencies from fining them. No existing ICE manufacturer really wants to go EV because they already make tons of money so why change. 
    These companies are looking to completely shift to alternative fuel sources in the next 5 to 10 years. For instance Honda announced all of their vehicles will be electrified by 2030.
