Consumers have a general sense of what 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mean in terms of cell networks. Even my school-age sons have a sense of what it means. Consumers see ads on TV and other places for the latest 5G phones, and they know that 4G and 3G phones used to be common.

Yet now Comcast is advertising 10G service, and there are no 10G phones. Of course that is because the Comcast 10G network is not a cell network - even though they offer cell service in many areas - but that sometimes escapes the consumer.

A better move would have been for Comcast to call it a "10Gig" network, but they know that very few customers on the network will actually ever see that speed. They just want to indicate it as a technical leap forward, and they want to use a very simple acronym for it. They should have sent the marketing team back to the drawing board when they coughed up "10G" though.

If you look at the comcast website you'll see all kinds of overlapping and confusing terms that they have used up to now to describe their internet connectivity options. I think I am on a "blast" plan myself, but the comparable plan has been renamed a few times since I signed up. They should really come up with a standardization for their plan names, but that might encourage people to compare Comcast claims to those of other ISPs.

I've rented a fair number of cars lately while traveling for work. I've seen cars from Ford, GM, Toyota, and Hyundai. Every one of them has had AM, FM, and HD. Most - but not all - have had Sirius / XM. If they are trying to kill AM they aren't doing a great job of it.

I could see some of the high-tech / high-dollar / luxury brands like Tesla or BMW taking an interest in killing AM to distinguish themselves, but I haven't seen it happen with the mainline brands at all. My work car is a 2021 Equinox and it has AM, FM, HD, and Sirius/XM.

and I don't know anyone who clicks on Google ads
 
That is because they are disguised as search results

It's TURBO TIME!

Pretty clear you haven't touched a modern raid controller in over a decade

There is no such thing as "post-birth abortion". That's just doublespeak for "murder"

Macros are a simple text replacement. The compiler is going to generate a block of code for every type(s) that you use in a template

Templates are usually abused by those who can't understand polymorphism and overloading, and leads to the compiler generating a ton of code bloat

I'm not fully clear on what "proprietary libraries" means here, but it seems likely that Portal 64 was developed using some variation of Nintendo's official development tools for N64
 
Except for machine code demos, all commercial games and most hobby projects use Nintendo's libultra as essentially an "operating system" jammed into a lib.

Knowing that the first missions to Mars will be one-way, I can think of a few Americans who we could just as well do without. They wouldn't mind the notoriety of being on the list of the first people to land on Mars, so it would be a win-win.

Yes, i know I will be downmodded into oblivion for mentioning this. Go ahead, I have my asbestos underwear on today.

The strength of a password is practically irrelevant if the attacker is just guessing and they only get a few tries to login. If the password was compromised elsewhere, then it doesn't matter if it is "poop" or "xXx_SOOPERP00P_XxX"

But don't worry, endocrine disruption leading to infertility, development problems, loss of hair, cognitive decline, sensory perception loss, metabolic sluggishness, and cancer are extremely rare
 
That just sounds like getting old

It's just frightening how close he is to winning a second term, which could well be the end of American Democracy.

Pew Research and census.gov both put the voter turnout rate for the 2020 election at around 66.8%. That of course tells us that roughly a third of eligible voters didn't vote. Of course some of them were actively disenfranchised by the system, though some of them could have voted but just didn't feel it was worth the effort.

I really hope those who could vote will see it to be worth the effort this time. I can't see how an independent could possibly view 4 years of his vile hatred as being a good idea for our country.
