The playtesters who have been invited to try many hours of supervised playtest all report that the game is pretty devoid of content beyond the core mechanics. It's missing a ton of stuff that their own AAA title AC:BlackFlag already had, or they have locked it away during the press playtest sessions. Of course playtesting can't cover storyline or plot development, but what they did cover was a janky and mostly boring repetitive mess.

Apple fought and fought Right to Repair for years. They lobbied carefully in parallel to write something that would be weak as soggy toast, get approved in legislatures, and they could then come out crowing to the incredulous iZombies that Apple supports Right to Repair. No, they supported exactly the weak laws they helped write, and nothing more.

When anyone else talks about "well, Right to Repair means NOT using your parts, or NOT asking your permission to use your parts, or NOT paying you through the nose to use third-party tools, or NOT paying you through the nose to use third-party parts," then you can really see how Apple feels about anything that is really about your right to repair what you own. Or think you own. Or was told you own.

Probably had a phone that reported 5ge with AT&T before 5G even existed.

If spectrum allocations are at the country level in the EU, I'd think that's a major major difference than in the US wrt states.

I think 5g has all of the perks of full 4g baked in (lte and what not) and is about 20% quicker at the same frequency.

So probably indistinguishable from 4g in practical use (such that you've observed).

The mm signal is to me a fairly niche case (dense areas with lots of people outside).

Sure, but the example given.

4g service rather than 5g (and I assume same frequency, since it's pretty hard to get the high frequency 5g in the US too, and it will likely be used to supplement the terrible wired internet access rather than mobile primarily anyway) doesn't really seem like a big deal to me.

The argument seems to be that my having marginally quicker mobile internet, and can now sign up for home Internet through a cellphone provider because the wired internet situation is so bad in the US that the wireless Internet is actually a better service the EU is failing.

I'm not sure I agree that $7,200 dollars over the last 100 years (2/3 of $90/month) is better spent because now I can get fixed point wireless Internet (almost internet, it's carrier grade nat without ipv6 passthrough as an option even).

It seems to me the extra $720/year is money poorly spent and solving a problem that doesn't exist in Europe compared to the US (awful wired internet service in general).

It's really weird to see WIRED writing this up now, when I was talking with some guys doing a startup in Seattle around this concept back in the '90s. It's a slightly higher-tech version of the embedded road treadles that detect your approach to a traffic signal. They were just saying to replace the capacitive or fluid pressure setups with light/lasers instead. Yard perimeter security, structures analysis in buildings and larger aircraft, and so on. Get it sensitive enough, you can use a loop of it to pick up speech on the other side of a wall.

I bet self driving trucks could get 10% more deliveries/person in dense areas.

Park at corner, walk down block dropping packages, meet truck at next corner.

Similarly with drop off driver meet at parking spot (seems more dubious though traffic flow wise).

I don't think this is where they'll do it, I assume this is better predictions of logistics with less humans analyzing, but self driving would make a significant impact on the number of drivers they need.

Yep, as long as they don't oversell it I'm happy.

I will say that during the last week of December and a recent snow day it may have been over saturated.

Just a loose feeling, and maybe it was the corporate VPN due to more people being at home.

But when I shared over teams it was taking much longer than normal for my screen to come up.

I get far better work from home performance from T-Mobile than Comcast.

The faster upstream more than makes up for the reasonable but slower downstream and the 10 extra Ms of ping

Their service is dramatically better than what Comcast offers if I care about upstream.

With T-Mobile I get 20-75 down 20-50 up.

If I want 20 up with Comcast it's 500/20 for 3x the price.

Mozilla seems to do good.

Rust seems pretty popular.

Web.asm was basically them too.

I don't is their browser anymore, but I'm happy they still exist.

The phrase "what they don't know won't hurt them" doesn't exist in English?

Interesting take.

(Without knowing the Chinese context I have to assume it has basically the same meaning).

Is it leaking data of the username and password were limited to that customer's own data?

If the software itself was single use for a business and the embedded password limited to that customers data I'm not sure?

That shouldn't be hugely disruptive /s
