5G cellular is high bandwidth but very short range, so yeah they need that kind of density to maintain coverage. They installed them in a street near me and they're placed every couple of blocks. It's useful to think of the usual WiFi router at home: you can set up 2.4g and 5g access points. The 5g ones are faster, but have shorter range and you need to use the 2.4g one if you're far from the router

Pretty sure this is the answer, they seem to always look like that. Close to my street, they have them and it's the same cylinder but installed on the old light poles

True. Although knowing this picture, and being from this city, I am irrationally irked by the fact that the picture is mirrored (condos are on the left in the original!). Maybe it was to align political left? Lol

Same here, I have chromium installed basically just for teams usage

Which one are you referring to? I just saw another post about this one that I just installed, which had been removed from the extensions store in Firefox but can still be downloaded from their GitHub repo. I just installed it on my android Firefox.

Edit: sorry, didn't see that your post was a link. This seems to be the same one but on GitHub

Most of it was just nice little touches that didn't change my day much, but the explicit sync in Wayland by also adding the Nvidia 555 driver has really been nice

I am a historian whose specialty is too recent to deal with anything like that (20th century), but also have a friend who, to be generic here, deals with a handful of a few centuries back. She found a baggie of a drug mistakenly stored with a letter in an archive (think 18th century) and on a whim, dipped their pinky into the powder and tried it. They regret that decision, but also, nothing happened:)

EDIT: Historians can be boring, but not always that tame

Honestly my biggest issue is with not moderating out the dozens of ridiculous entries that are either unrelated or just tinkercad screenshots of unprintable objects that were slapped together without even knowing how to use the align tool. Bonus for the ones that are not even screenshots but photos of someone's monitor showing their ridiculous tinkercad thing. Like, what are they thinking? Why even submit?

I like contests as curated collections for me to browse through, and the scrolling through all that crap kinda annoys me. Maybe they're curating them out now, it's been a while since I looked through them. I know it's a minor pet peeve thing lol

Ah thanks, that would explain seeing -uk in so many name places I guess
