are they gonna fix the bug where it didn’t turn everyone gay?
I hope 6G turns everyone trans instead
7G turns ppl in to animals when they hit puberty and other wacky stuff
But humans are animals?? Do we turn into different kind of animal?
No, 7G only gets rid of the human superiority complex.
No joke in the show it it put humanity back on the menu.
Did you ever read Animorphs? It’s like that, but whenever you get an incoming call.
Would be so fun if we all switched at the same time
Instantaneously? I wonder what kind of noise would be made by the simultaneous formation of billions of vacuums and pressure waves? And how loud would it be on aggregate? And would it be enough to wake those who were asleep at the time?
It’ll sound like a low rumbling of bubble wrap shifting across the lands.
I don’t think there would be much of a pressure change. All the outies would become innie lowering the pressure and all the innies becoming outies would bring it back up.
Maybe your ears might pop.
Most animals are smaller than humans. If it’s selected randomly out of unique species then definitely, because there are a fuckton of insects.
None of this makes sense!
With 3G, we had clearly defined speeds, and what constitutes 3G.
4G mostly defined itself, but it left a bit of grey area.
Then 5G was posting speeds slower than 4G’s top speed. There was never a defined speed range. The term 5G is nothing more than marketing. It means nothing.
I haven’t even heard of 6G, but given how shit 5G’s handling went right from the start, I assume 6G has to be inserted anally.
Yes, also, it should be criminal for home internet providers and phone service providers to conflate, directly or by implication, the “G” in 5G (fifth generation) and the “G” in 10G (ten gigabit).
I saw a commercial one day that went something like “Our competitors only have 1G; we have 5G. Don’t you want to have the most Gs? We have the best Gs, no one has Gs like us. Don’t settle for inferior Gs, call today!”
I remember commenting on the switch from 3g to 4g back around 2009 or so and they were already being deceptive in a lot of ways back then. Telecommunications has been a cesspool for decades.
“Our competitors only have 1G; we have 5G. Don’t you want to have the most Gs? We have the best Gs, no one has Gs like us. Don’t settle for inferior Gs, call today!”
Sounds like a commercial for that trump phone.
5G was mostly about cramming more connections into the spectrum and expanding broadcast range (as well as some other things), but it wasn’t just about node speed on the network.
And it ended up posting significantly faster speeds in dense areas where they actually deploy the technology. My phone has hit 4Gb/s on it.
In a lot of places it got worse. At least I had reliable service inside my house on 2G and 3G. Now that those are gone, I have to use WiFi calling or try to find a spot outside where I may be able to get a bar of 5G if I’m lucky.
You’re more secure using wifi calling anyway.
Unless you’re using 5g NR SA which is the actual 5g - New Radio Stand Alone, which is supposed to be able to function, as the name implies, alone, without any fallback to insecure networks.
If you’re using 5g NR NSA it still requires 4g to function.
I am in airplane mode 99.9% of the time, using wifi calling (sms/rcs also work over wifi), so my phone isn’t susceptible to imsi catchers and such or location pinging.
Yes, I’m paranoid.
Everyone should be.
If you’re that paranoid, then you shouldn’t be using RCS. It’s owned by google. XMPP and Matrix are secure, decentralized alternatives that don’t give your data to google.
I’ll just be happy if they have basic things like VoIP and emergency call handling properly defined.
Australia shut down our 2G and 3G networks, and it’s been an absolute dumpster fire.
A bunch of early 4G phones drop back to 3G for voice calls, but that’s really easy to check for and that’s mostly old phones anyway.
The real dumpster fire was emergency calls. It turns out there’s phones in the wild with fully functional VoLTE but internal logic that forces them to drop back to 3G or 2G specifically for emergency calls.
Other phones can make emergency calls, but only on certain networks - a phone will try any available network regardless of SIM card when making emergency calls.
Or a phone can make emergency calls on any network - but only if it’s running the correct modem firmware version.
Or it’ll work on any network if it has a Telstra SIM card, but if it has an Optus card it can’t make an emergency call on Telstra because it isn’t running the Telstra-specific VoLTE code anymore.
The best part is that this emergency call functionality depends on you specifically dialling the emergency number, so there’s no way to test any device other than actually dialling an emergency.
Call the nonemergency number and ask them how they want you to handle dialing the emergency number. Usually it’s “yeah we got you, just call it and confirm it’s not an emergency”. Phone techs do this all the time.
Soo, proper encryption this time?
Lol keep dreaming
5G was a scam. Promises were impossible to fulfill and investment forums were full of paid shills propping up the telcom stocks. In reality 5G has the exact same throughput as 4G. Nothing changed
