5G tech is useless for medium-long distance where 4g Shines (you have high frequency bands for zones with a lot of towers and low frequency bands like 28 -700mhz- for low range connections).
5G is for very short distances with a lot of cells, and it's spectrum is located in the very high frequency area (from 3.4ghz to 28ghz, mmwave), so penetration and distance are not 5G strong points. I do not see LTE going away.
For VR, FHD is very low res. QHD is better. And if you want, you can lower the res from QHD to FHD (battery improvement: best case scenario 5%, tested by a lot of reviewers).
There are a lot of cans that are dual: bluetooth + wired passive mode.
I have Sennheiser's 4.40bt and love them. Very expensive for me (i'm in Argentina), but i know that living in US there are a lot of better options.
There is also too few bluetooth headphones that supports HD codecs like aptx-hd (qualcomm) or ldac (sony) or aac (apple).
What I'd like is a simple BT receiver that handle HD codec, and on this gizmo, have a 3.5mm jack so I can plug high end headphone on it, while still being wireless with my phone (that support HD bluetooth).
That's why i bought a Sennheiser 4.40bt headphones.
AptX and sound good with bluetooth (albeit having a little background hiss due to the integrated amp in BT mode).
But also they sound the SAME in passive mode (not as some sonys that require energy even por "pasive" mode and without the electronics in pasive mode sound like crap).
So in my house, i use them wired to a very good yamaha amplifier, and on the go i have the choice of using the headphone jack of my S8 or bluetooth.
In Argentina, we produce biofuel as a byproduct, so our cost is close to zero.
Trump put a blockade (50% tax) to our fuel because he "thinks" it's subsidized and "Argentina is dumping!"
It's not. It's VERY cheap for us to make it, and USA will never be able to produce it so cheap
If you travel to belgium with a roaming enabled prepaid sim card from other country... you can do this anyway... registering the sim will not stop terrorists...
Older vehicles are known polluters, but it is factored in that they'll eventually end up on the scrap heap.
Scrap? In Argentina, we don't know about scrap. We fix everything and old things keep running forever. Take a look at the vehicles in our country... there are a lot of new ones, yes, but also there are a lot of old diesel trucks with a cloaking device (aka accelerator).
You know, we've been doing this for four years where I work. And yes, I know everyone here is going to espouse Truecrypt as the one true solution, but the simple fact is NASA is run as a corporation... as such they'll probably go for a solution that's vendor supported. The fact that they're NASA will probably mean they'll get a pretty decent price on the software too.
Now, the downside of full-disk encryption (which many lazy corporations do instead of home directory only) is that it does increase the load on your system, slow it down and make recovery if/when it breaks a royal pain. Our helpdesk has an almost constant stream of laptops coming and going through their hands that they have to decrypt and re-encrypt because something got out of sync. Time consuming, and leads to downtime for the users. I've often suggested home folder only encryption... but the higher ups want it all encrypted... right up to the point that their laptop is down for two days because they've broken it.
By the way, another horrible side effect of whole disk encryption is that our experience says that it'll kill SSD's pretty rapidly. Our average SSD life is less than a year at this point because there doesn't seem to be a good full-disk encryption software that properly implements TRIM... so spinning disk or hybrid disk is the way to go.
I run a Lenovo X220 with hardware accelerated AES on a Core I5. The increased load is NON-EXISTENT.
Also if you run a SSD with sandforce controller (which compresses data), the performance will be poor, and the wear very high.
I run a samsung 830 SSD. Fastest ssd for encrypted disks (does not compress data on the fly).
Also, i use DiskCryptor. It does have TRIM enabled for encrypted disks.
BitTorrent should be marketed as "Cloud Backup Device". You need to backup a file? Seed it, and it will be mirrored across the globe.
Do you have a movie that you don't want to lose because of damaged media? Mirror it accross the globe.
What you say about pronunciation is true.
"Prize" in spanish is prononunced something like "prais".
The sound of the spoken word "Precio" is kind of similar to "price" and "prize" in spanish, that's why i got confused when i wrote it.
This has the potential to replace chemo therapies with an antibiotic. No more poisoning people to try to make them better. Not to mention the potential to treat stokes and heart disease. Well done!
First, they only hand out Nobels to famous people these days, not people who should be famous because of their work. Al Gore won one for giving a powerpoint about Global Warming... the hundred plus scientists who have dedicated their lives to collecting, analyzing, and releasing the data haven't gotten anything. I can provide many more examples of how much fail there is in the Nobel prize world... Winning one is no longer any great achievement... you can just buy one these days.
Second.. it's a bit early to congratulate them... they've published a paper, not cured a patient.

when you work and constantly switch languages, read in english, then spanish, then english.... things like this happens.
when you speak it, its has a similar phonetic signature, when i speak "prize" y think of "precio, (value, cost) so without thinking, i wrote "price".
priZe... sorry... its the same as the word value "precio" in my language, spanish, i had a brainfart and wrote "price".

Putting high precision instruments and a big piece of glass in a country that is very prone to earthquakes doesn't seem to be a good idea to me...
I second that! The microSD cards are a pain to handle! Imagine something smaller than that...
