It’s more a statement of how they operate IMO. I’ve watched them be extremely conservative over the years to see which ideas stick and wait until hardware has matured. My HTC thund…

To be fair, iOS version increments usually aren’t rocket science if you don’t want to take advantage of all the new features right away.

I think the UL/DL is more due to the design of the network (I’m talking about Iridium data packets). The connection isn’t persistent like a computer in many cases. For example, a h…

Thats true, but aircraft engines also run harder, must be lighter, and more reliable. It has been discussed elsewhere, and is a technically harder problem. On top of that, general …

To be fair, I think ML workloads are quite a bit different than the days of compiling over lunch breaks. What the above post was probably trying to get at is that the ML specific h…

This isn’t entirely true. If you have WiFi calling enabled, you can also send SMS over WiFi if the carrier supports it. I use this extensively when traveling internationally.

Granted I’m rural, but ours took a week and a half to get back online when a forest fire burned a microwave tower. It took out Charter cable to our house & Verizon. I am a fully re…

This is why a recently calibrated altimeter is used for the altitude axis on GPS approaches. They also must have a constrained error margin to be certified, and it is factored into…
