Not only that, they’ll get louder claiming they’re being oppressed. Ignore them.

5g is fine (not great, but fine) on my phone until I get millimeter wave. The mw in the HEB parking lot down the street is amazing. If I get into the city proper it’s a crapshoot if I am able to get on the Internet.

Case in point: the downvotes are from people who don’t know or care about the difference.

Depends on what you’re calling AI. LLMs (and generative AI in general) are garbage for all those things, and most things in general (all things if you take their cost into account). Machine Learning and expert systems can do at least some of that.

I absolutely hate that generative AI is being marketed as though it’s deep learning instead of a fancy Markov chain. But I think I’ve lost the battle over that nomenclature.

I do not know how true it is, but I’ve heard that some of them will create a mesh network if your neighbor has the same brand and it’s connected to the internet.

I’ve always meant to look into it but I have big dumb TVs that work for now.
