Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “”5G” is “Here””.
Wow Cyber Monday we made it so are we inside the computer? Now? Are you a Tron Wow cyber stuff, t-mobile says: they’ve officially launched America’s first nationwide 5g network quote-unquote cover covering more than 1 million square miles and more than 200 million people, but wait a second. The US has about 330 million people and 3.5 3 million square miles. I’M not an electromagnet restrict spectrum ologist, but that doesn’t seem like a nationwide network to me James, unless t-mobile means that only people who can afford 5g phones and who live in an area with coverage qualify as members of the nation that doesn’t seem like a nation. At all, it seems like an exclusive club, just like the one I wasn’t allowed into on Friday, because of my insistence on bringing James dog with me. It’S a really cool guy now, t-mobile’s 4G network covers 325 million people, and it seems like the uncarrier, is definitely banking on that to fill out the gaps.
If you have a 5g phone, you’ll still have to wait until Friday to use its particular capabilities, and even then you probably won’t see more than a 20 % increase in speed, as current 5g uses the same six hundred megahertz spectrum as 4G. That is, if you’re part of the nation, that’s supposedly getting this nationwide coverage, I mean I’m not even getting any service in Vancouver. We’Re in Canada. Apple has now fully ingested or acquired the smart phone modem Department of Intel. After announcing the meal I mean deal back in July, stupid, the 1 billion deal leaves Intel’s still able to work on 5g modems for non smartphone devices like pcs and vehicle systems.
The deal was born out of an interesting situation. Apple started buying Intel modems in 2016. After its patent lawsuit with Qualcomm got intense, meanwhile, Intel was complaining about Qualcomm’s anti-competitive practices, including being a real hard about patent fees.
Supposed copyright infringement which left team blues mobile modem business dead in the water, however Apple reached a 4.5 billion dollar settlement with Qualcomm. In May so, until Cupertino can develop an in-house modem with their new acquisition. They’Ll reportedly use Qualcomm modems in future iPhones and intel has been left a little salty about the whole ordeal supporting the FTC’s investigation of qualcomm for anti-competitive behavior.
Even after their modem business was sold man. It is just not Intel’s ear, I’m starting to feel bad for. For old Bob Swann and a fresh leak of the PlayStation 5 dev kit is kicked off.
Some discussion about the upcoming next-gen console war turns out that wacky v-shaped design is real death and, while the console will almost certainly look less early 2000s when it launches next Christmas, people seem to be experiencing a bit of a cyber truck moment with it like. After your initial gag reflex hits you start to realize: well, the cooling system being on top could work great, even with the console sitting on a carpet or something the leaked pics led to some commentators asking about the Xbox project. Scarlett defconn, which is reportedly not quite finished, and in the hands of very few developers.
Jason Schreyer suggested that Microsoft is trying to surprise Sony this time by not having the dev kit ready regardless head of Xbox game studios matt booty, that is his real name, told GamesRadar. That scarlett aims to be backwards compatible with every xbox game, which would be awesome. It’S probably just a regular box without a cool V shape. Now it’s time for quick bits brought to you by brilliant. Yes, earth will be subsumed by the fireball of our dying Sun in a billion years, but don’t let that ruin your holidays.

Ah, quick bits: if I had a nickel every time yep, the European Space Agency has approved the budget for their half of the asteroid, impact and deflection assessment or Ida mission. Ida is a joint mission set for 2027, in which NASA’s dart probe would smash into the dual asteroid system: didymus didymus, creating an impact crater and a change in trajectory that would be analyzed by the ESA s. Hera, that’s a spacecraft that and know this isn’t the result of some astrophysicists getting drunk and wanting to smash into stuff.
The point is to learn whether we could prevent a deadly asteroid impact, because the dinosaurs couldn’t Facebook has rolled out a new tool in Ireland. That will allow users to easily transfer all of their Facebook pictures to Google photos. Why would they want to do that? You’Ll.
Never. Have me lucky pics see you later well for one they want to do it to appease critics, who accuse them of having a social media monopoly Plus. If Google has your photos to Facebook can point at them and say no see they’re doing they’re doing it. They’Re doing data collection, it just might confuse Europe enough a toad to work sources inside tick.
Tock say the social video company has oppressed the distribution of posts by users with disabilities. Videos by such users were made to only appear in their country of origin or taken out of circulation once they had a certain view count. The move was ostensibly designed to prevent these users from facing bullying or discrimination by discriminating against them. These anti-gay the logic there’s a little right, then it’s fine. These anti-bullying policies have now been discontinued, but for me the damage is done, I’m never tick-tocking again. Amazon has joined Microsoft and Google and launching a quantum computing service, even though quantum computers are basically still in the research phase.
Amazon is also launching Amazon transcribed medical, an AI powered transcription service that will help doctors keep track of details during conversations with patients like dosage amounts and symptoms Wow. Neither of those things seem ready for primetime like Amazon. I didn’t even get that and a new update for Super Mario maker includes a Master Sword. Powerup that turns Mario into link through some sort of dark sorcery link, can block attacks with a shield and attack with his sword, arrows and bombs.
This is cool, but guys link is not part of the Mario universe. I was willing to forgive his inclusion in Mario Kart, but how much further can we go before every Mario game is just Super Smash Bros all right? Well, I guess that’s it. For this episode. Come back on Monday for more tech news, it’s cyber .
