A GPU developed by a single person is insanly impressive, the fact its a 3D accelerated GPU is even more impessive

[digitalmike]

Fact. Cell companies are still using too many ancient microwave hops for backhaul which cannot support the speeds of 5G.

[ClellBiggs]

Wow, tech news was pretty good tonight. Not a single story that sent me into an existential crisis.

[TheWuffball]

I read that as 5.56 and that's real freakin' NATO

[Hybris]

After watching for years Louis Rossmann try to operate a small business in NYC and fight against it's own bureaucracy I can fully understand why a AI would look at the system and tell you to break the law.
Because no matter what you do you are in violation of something for merely existing let a lone operating a business.

It's a bit like LTE, they didn't call it 4.5G but that's pretty much what it is.

[chrisobber]

I need a working 5G first. Where I live 4G is faster than 5G and has also better ping.

[mxfto]

3g/4g/5g makes no difference to me. I still can't get a signal in my frigging house!

[rpst]

Reminds me of how we got LTE here on Turkey. We got 4.5G because it's a bigger number which is just LTE Advanced. Also our president was like just "we should wait out 4G and just get 5G instead" in like 2015 lol. We now have 5G only in like one airport lmao.

7:33 You're certainly not wrong that it would have been a good idea to deal with all the legalities up front, but honestly when I started I had no idea I'd actually end up here. There's a big gap between "hey, that's neat" and "people might actually find this useful in some capacity"!

[KennylexLuckless]

If something should scare folk is that Apple can update a phone that should be new and turned off in a box, for do that not imply that it is possible to install a new software on it in some situations where the phone is off, like when "security personal" say you can not bring a phone and it need to be stored in a box, "for safety" or "prevent cheating", who knows the range this can work on?

[ScottADunn]

Two things around cellular. I’ve been in the industry for almost 20 years now.

North America doesn’t want 5.5 G because of the way cellular infrastructure is currently laid out. There is not enough densification to support high speeds like what you’re saying in the video between repeaters and microwave hops. You won’t see speeds like that like ever.

RCS stands for rich communication services not rich chat services.

Riley and tech news. Name a more iconic duo

[aBeerFromHere]

4G (50mbits0 is already fast for a normal end-user. It has a wider range than 5G, which causes fewer towers across the country. 4G (800mhz) is up to 15km (9.5 miles) and 5G (2100mhz) is up to 3km (2 Miles).

[MagierMax]

that ANYmal looks like the most cursed insect robot killer horror thing i have ever seen. imagine one running right at you and just not tripping over anything, looking like the damn exorcist

[WilliamHaisch]

9:03 That guy walking by is like “WTF is that?!?!” 😂

[ChristianStout]

What phone can even make use of 5Gbps download speeds? That's faster than any phone's internal storage for Pete's sake.

[Rockardo_]

Riley’s Tim apple impression will never cease to crack me up

[Debate_everything]

You know to me the biggest problem with these rapid advancements in network speeds, etc. is that it doesn’t really matter if they continue to make the source ultra super fast if the pipeline itself cannot do anything to support it. I believe 6E cable can handle 1500 Mb I think someone can correct me, but we’re limited beyond what we can do with the pipeline that supports all the network because, the manufacturers infrastructure has to be upgraded to make it all work good.

Every time I hear someone talking about 3G, then 4G, 5G, and now 5.5G, I'm reminded of Ben Stiller and Harlan Williams in 'Something About Mary' and the "Six Minute Abs' scene.
