Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Euphoria....

Would you be more happy when your phone is 10x faster ?
Would you be pleased when your laptop is faster and would last 3 days ?
It only leads to more data in data centres.

Maybe, just maybe, the world is better of when we take a step back.

Replace all phones with Nokia 3310's (it ran a week on a tiny battery), so we can focus on what is realy important for men. And get excited about the real world, and not a virtual world. Focus on the climate. In stead of Tech.

So much from "grumpy old" Harm.

You can assume that there will be applications that will bring the speed back up to today's level.

Well said, that man!
There are uses for higher speeds with lower power requirements, but they aren't for everyday users. The huge bit-barns that use so much electricity and require massive amounts of cooling are crying out for this sort of tech, but phones are already too thin / dangerous and ebike batteries are already too fragile / dangerous. How would you know your phone was even 3x faster? Why have a laptop that can last 3 days when you can either recharge overnight or even (God forbid) simply change the battery for a charged spare? What do you mean the laptop is too thin? Make it thicker - and put some useful ports back in the process.

If you ask La Quinta Columna (search), Billions "installed" over the past few years. I didn't get one, though.  

Laptop: Used Panasonic Toughbook (eBay). Cheap, beefy and ports galore.


My phone Lasts forever, has a huge speaker with a decent bass response and a proper built-in flashlight.

Created a tee shirt with this image on the front.  Kinda looks like me complete with a Jurassic Park Cane which I use.😃
