I understand that, but they’re wrong.

That’s still just a cellular modem stuffed in to a much better router though. It’s a cellular connection. Yea, with 5g it’s a ton better than 3g, but it’s a cellular connection, provided to you by a cellular network operator. Cellular network operators are their own thing, regulated by the FCC as their own thing, whether the cellular connection is happening on your phone or on your cellular company provided router, it’s still connecting to the cellular network.

Look. Starlink is a satellite internet provider right? But you understand that no wires are physically connecting the starlink terminal to the starlink satellites right? It’s “wireless”. Starlink is not a WISP, it’s a satellite internet provider. T-Mobile or Verizon or whoever aren’t WISPs, they are cellular network operators. They are separate and distinct things.

Language has meaning, words have meaning. A WISP isn’t just an ISP using technology that doesn’t need a wire to your house, it’s a specific thing. You’re using it wrong.

Edit - I can put a SIM card in my MikroTik right now, then unplug the Ethernet cable that runs to my ONT box, and have unbroken internet access. That doesn’t suddenly make the cellular network provider a WISP, it makes them a cellular network provider. I’m accessing the cellular network. They’re providing me access to the network over cellular. Idk how else to explain this.

Ah, that would make sense.

I never said anything about a microwave cooking food, I said they used microwave radios.

A hotspot is a cellular modem with a wireless lan radio. It is provided by cellular network operators in order to allow the connection of non-cellular network devices to connect to the cellular network, and thus the internet as a whole.

A WISP is not a cellular network operators, a WISP is a Wireless ISP, who provide internet to customers over wireless microwave radios.

The FCC classifies and regulates these operators as distinct entities. I am not splitting hairs, they are different.

Go to WISPAPALOOZA and tell all the WISP people that cellular operators are WISPs lol.

I guarantee you there’s no cellular network operators who are members of WISPA.

That’s not a WISP, just fyi. That’s just a cellular hot spot. Cellular hot spots operate on frequencies in the RF spectrum, the same frequencies that your cell phone connects to.

A WISP is an ISP that serves internet over microwave radios, which operate not in RF frequencies but in microwave frequencies. They might use point to multi point radios, where a radio on a mountain top feeds signal to many smaller radios at each subscribers house in a valley below. They might also have fiber to an apartment building, with fiber to each unit, then use a point to point radio as a wireless backhaul to connect another apartment building across a river that can’t have fiber run directly to it. They’ll still have fiber running to each unit in that second building though.

TLDR; cellular providers are not WISPs.

So I’m familiar with the Fiber to the Cabinet/Curb (FTTC), but the only FVA I’m familiar with is an attenuator and I know you’re not talking about checking light levels through fiber. What’s FVA in this context?

I have one degree of personal separation from Brian Krebs, it makes me feel way cooler than it probably should lol.

Here I’ve built software that can detect the difference between good guys and bad guys, it uses Artificial Intelligence.

The non credible defense bucket.

Idk, I know I definitely liked being in one of them outside the wire than in a humvee.

Just gotta get the last word in huh? You fucking blocked bro.

Other people have explained it to you, and the article is right fucking there for you to click on and read, which you’ve ostensibly already done. I’m not going to waste my time further with a person like you.

Bro that’s not even an accurate summary of the article. Do you have zero reading comprehension or do you just enjoy defending at best borderline pedos?

I really don’t think they intended for everyone to buy it. I think they wanted to get it out into devs and enthusiasts hands, and let people who are interested but not!willing to spend that much money demo it in an Apple Store. They gives time for apps to get tested, independent devs time to port their apps over and iron out any bugs, etc.

I feel like the fact that the first one didn’t move even 100k units but they’re still working on a second generation one that will cost less proves that. That’s kind of what everyone’s being saying about this ever since the price was first announced.

Bruh. Obviously. The person said pay off their mortgage, which is distinctly different from making a mortgage payment. Jfc.

Also, the Vision Pro isn’t outrageously expensive, it’s just expensive. It’s not even just Apple. MSI, Asus, Lenovo, Dell, and Acer all have laptops in the $3,000+ range. I don’t really understand what your point is really, there’s tons of shit that I couldn’t afford for the decade I made minimum wage, but that I can afford now that I make much more. I wasn’t mad those things existed when I couldn’t afford them, and I definitely didn’t think they shouldn’t exist just because they were out of my budget.

As someone who has fired a ton of live rounds as well as a ton of blanks, I don’t understand how anyone can’t tell whether they fired one or the other.

It’s $3,500. That’s the price of a specced up MacBook Pro. That’s almost half the price of the Pro Display XDR. I mean I didn’t buy one because it is pretty expensive, plus I barely use my Index, but it’s definitely not “pay of your mortgage” level of expensive.

For real. It’s an iPhone 4s, if the wait was really that bad the person could have just gotten a grey market cellebrite ufed and been done with this whole thing. They sell for like $300-$400 on eBay ffs.

Oh man, Ingress was such a better game. I got slightly obsessed with it for a year or two. I had my entire state covered for a couple of days, before one of the nodes or whatever was broken.
