This is likely your problem. My first question is whether you're on one of the new plans or one of the old plans. This is actually important because the old plans are provisioned differently. The old plans use Visible's cloud APN

It's not strictly worse than LTE, but it's not quite just you. A lot of it will depend on a bunch of factors. If you're in an area with mid-band 5G (5G UC on T-Mobile USA, 5G UW on Verizon, 5G+ on AT&T), 5G will provide a

Pardon my ignorance, but I guess I have a few questions. Wouldn't the hand-held nature be more dependent on batteries and technology than on the network technology? NiMH batteries weren't really commercial until 1989 and NiCd batt

Possibly, but it might be more than that. I have to imagine that GitHub has to fight all sorts of spam. Issues (and comments on issues) in a popular repository can be SPAM. When Hacktoberfest offered a free t-shirt for making a pull request

Fly.io works great. .NET will generate the Dockerfile for you already so it's pretty easy to set it up. Fly.io will even give you a hosted PostgreSQL. DigitalOcean's App Platform should also handle .NET apps as easily as anything

No, they can't be connected to AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile in the US. Both of them have shut down their 3G networks so phones that don't support VoLTE won't work (and it seems like carriers don't want to take on the l

It might become the norm, but probably only via EU legislation. The EU is proposing 3 years of updates and 5 years of security updates. We'll see if it happens. Without legislation, it probably won't become the norm. With Apple, t

They're solved and not solved. I love my M1 MacBook, but I also know that Apple worries a ton about thermal design. One of the big problems with the iPhone mini was dealing with the thermals in such a tiny package. While The M1 and M2

The Mac Pro is a very specialized machine. Windows desktop users aren't generally buying Xeon processors. Almost no one wants a Mac Pro. It's one of the reasons why it's often left behind by Apple. In this case, Apple still h

Yea, I upgraded to an M1 Pro and it's truly amazing. I used to always look at benchmarks and always want to upgrade to the newest thing that was coming out. Now I have a laptop that feels like it just works. It doesn't get hot, I&

It looks like Tesla is charging $0.50 in California and 67p ($0.81) in the UK during peak times. That's a pretty big difference in charge (62% higher). Even the off-peak 54p is $0.66 and 32% higher. A 57% charge on a Model Y Long Range

I think their argument is that the market will sustain those jobs. UPS's earnings are up around 8.5% year over year and UPS has been doing consistently better than FedEx with the same revenue and employee headcount. There is danger wit

I feel like this is a common trajectory for a lot of companies (Airbnb, Uber, etc.) It starts off with cool intentions. Let's create a place where people can stay with other people - and chip in a little money. Instead of paying $150 f

For people that aren't getting free boxes from work, you can usually find used micro/tiny form factor Intel machines for around $120. That's more than a Raspberry Pi, but you can get a Core i5-6500T with 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD

The problem is that restricting purchasing is a tiny stop-gap. It might be a useful stop-gap depending on the circumstances, but it won't actually solve the problem. It's like having a hole in your boat, tossing two bucket-fulls o

Oh, for sure. Apple pays a huge premium, but Apple also sells premium devices. Most of the time, if you're buying the most high-end stuff, you're overpaying. Even within a processor family, when you buy the high-end, you're o

Awesome! Great to know Of course, the article goes on to say that TSMC is reducing N3 capacity with Apple being the only customer in 2023. I think it's just hard to get customers who want to pay what Apple is willing to pay.

AMD has said that 3nm will come with Zen 5c. The Zen 5 is set to launch in 2024 with the Zen 5c happening after that so most likely in 2025. Zen 4 just launched at 5nm after Apple had been using 5nm for 2 years. It looks like Apple will be

Yes, they make a lot of 5nm and 4nm parts for Qualcomm and others. For example, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is based on TSMC's 4nm (the regular 8 Gen 1 is based on Samsung's 4nm). AMD's Ryzen 7000 series (Zen 4) uses TSMC's

This is a little off-topic, but it's somewhat hard to judge whether I want to try a DBaaS without any indication of pricing. For example, PlanetScale is charging $2.50/GB of storage which quickly adds up. I know paid tiers are on

Hetzner Cloud is great, but I do wish they'd offer dedicated servers in the US as well, even if it was just a fraction of their European offering. Hetzner Cloud pricing is great, but their dedicated servers are even cheaper. For exampl
