**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Sep 23 02:59:57 2019 Sep 23 06:25:09 Is there a smartphone with 5G cellular connectivity and an easily accessible and removable battery? If not then it looks like I will not use 5G cellular connectivity even if Canada adopts 5G. Sep 23 06:27:14 I mean a smartphone with integrated 5G cellular connectivity. Using a USB 5G modem on a pre-5G smartphone does not count. Sep 23 08:04:28 Pretty much all of the advertising I've seen for 5G seems like misinformative hype anyway. Sep 24 00:27:33 Maxdamantus: Is this advertising with a specific target audience, such as engineers? I guess not. Sep 24 00:57:39 brolin_empey: no, general audience, though I'm not sure how you would market something like that to "engineers". Sep 24 00:58:56 but eg, the ads I see for it show things like autonomous vehicles, and remotely performed surgeries, and virtually trying out clothes in a shop, which all seem fairly irrelevant to 5G. Sep 24 01:00:50 aiui, other than adding higher speeds which might be usable in some cases, the only real extra technical ability is edge computing, which still seems dubious to me in terms of usefulness. Sep 24 01:25:12 Maxdamantus: OK. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Sep 24 02:59:59 2019
