The 4G core is derived from the one built for the GSM. Sure it was updated here and there but it still runs some piece of software from the 1990.
Whereas with the 5G, the core was redone from scratch: everything is a micro-service, a service mesh for discovery and subscription, etc ... . This base will be kept for ~30 years. So the 6G is going to be a "simple" extension of the 5G.
In the same thread, there is France with a price of 645€.
I don't understand why a country loaded with nuclear reaction can beat Germany in price. Or maybe does it mean that the neighboring country are willing to pay France this much because they are desperate, but in this case why not buy the electricity from Germany at 432€ ?.
I thought Twitch was the streaming king, I guess that China is still on another level. I have a hard time getting my head around those figure: ~$1.9 billion in one livestream [1]
I don't understand their statement about MPLS and security: "a need for MPLS to make their network operate securely"
Isn't MPLS used for routing and building SDN fabric where you applied a bunch of QoS rules depending of the MPLS tags ?, which as nothing to do with security.
Before you owned a nice full-featured i9 proc. You could go on Ebay and sell it for all its power.
Tomorrow, you buy your new shiny basic i10 proc. You then pay extra to unlock the fast multiply for our games, the fast simd for you AI and the upgrade for 4K decoding. After a while, you decide to sell on Ebay. Well your nice shiny software defined features are now worthless. Well not for Intel which has the opportunity to sell the same stuff twice or more.
What would be incoherent is for Intel to not juice this technology even more. Why not have a limited pool of licenses and let people compete for them monthly ?.
The problem is that the boundary of ownership is getting shifted, and by the look of if the consumer will loose.
I believe that Intel is smart enough to mix the licence with TPM signature for banning leaked keys.
Now I concur that this trend of "you own something but you are going to pay a rent for it anyway" is starting to get annoying. Even more annoying as it's seems to be the "accepted" new norm. For example with the new Mercedes car where you have to pay a monthly fee to unlock some extra degree of steering angle.
At this point, the French should just strike a deal with the Chinese. Sure they already know how to build nuclear submarine, but I am sure they would pay billions to lease land in New Caledonia, Guadeloup ... even Brittany. In the end, France don't care about the East China Sea so they should be more pragmatical when their historic "allies" make such moves.
I read somewhere that the human intestines are not well fitted to digest protein (as we are omnivorous). They start to "rot" as soon as digestive fluids attack them. So the proteins are correctly absorbed in the first meters. After that, the proteins are just wastes going downward (can't find the source back sr).
That's why carnivorous have short but large intestines: they digest proteins as quickly as possible before they turn useless.
Maybe a key point is to span a large amount of proteins intake across several hours (as bodybuilders do, if I am not mistaken).
Does anyone know if the Windows 11 pro version will have the ads and privacy shenanigans ?. Or you require the enterprise version, which is not easy to get for the average joe.
"Mercedes-Benz will electronically limit the steering angle of the rear wheels, but there will be an option after purchase to pay the company more money to increase that steering angle by a few degrees for a tighter turning radius"
It's the first I see this kind of gating on a car, is it that common nowadays when you purchase a new model ?. Even installing games on the dashboard requires a monthly fee.
