Wow. This phone lets me tether without having to turn off its own Wi-Fi connection.

Anyhoo, gotta wind down. Week 5 of work starts tomorrow.

Wow. Rational Wiki has some amazing articles.

Gish Gallop

@JourneymanGeek I've never been able to find one

Oh god. It hurts me just how many people swear by homeopathy in this country.

@rahuldottech It also does the WP begging thing, which is kinda amusing

"If everyone donated $5 today, we'd meet our funding drive for 2020!"

But it's interesting reading, I agree

@bertieb they don't ask for too much tho. It could totally be hosting/maintainance costs.

@rahuldottech Oh yeah, just found it amusing :D

@Bob

Ugh, I'm not a fan of how hard companies have been pushing 5g

I have embarrassingly done something embarrassing and now I'm embarrassed.

did you call your girlfriend "mum"?

Call your mum while, uh, chatting with your girlfriend?

did one o' you upvote mah question?

@rahuldottech are you so young y ou don't recall how 4G was gonna save the world and be uberfast and such?

or 3G was gonna save the world, and be uberfast and such?

I'm pretty sure we were told you could watch live TV on 3G

Did you make your girlfriend a mum? D:

:O

@rahuldottech people stopped upgrading as often and phone companies wanna sell you something new

@JourneymanGeek Flagship phones are getting too expensive. Consumers are starting to shift towards the midrange. There's plenty of sub-$500 phones that are great choices for everyday use. The Samsung Galaxy A50 and Moto G7 are prime examples.

@bwDraco might help to get caught up with the context

As for 5G... Availability isn't going to be widespread until well into 2020; that's when people are going to seriously make the move.

Upgrade cycles are now pushing well past 24 months for many people. There's been a general lack of major advances in the smartphone world.

5G is probably the most significant technology transition in this space in a decade but whether it'll live up to its promise remains to be seen.

Uhm

You're opining

Maybe even monologuing

I kinda misread it, sorry.

Eh, just gotta tread lightly in chat. Got sidetracked.
