  • You are right. I am reading Contact for the same reason, trying to see more details as intended by Carl Sagan. (And Contact is my favourite scifi film of all time.)

    I should probably give The Martian book a try. Just trying to decide between so many great suggestions here.

  • I've got a Kindle but I read too slowly, and most of the time I would "fall back" to watching videos and playing games.

    But when I am driving, I can listen to audio books and there are no other distractions for me except for podcasts.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

  • I read science articles sometimes. But for novels I prefer to listen.

  • Thanks. I watched the first episode of the TV show but I didn't quite get into it. I will give the audio book a try.

  • Thanks. I have watched The Martian movie already and I would prefer something new (The Martian is less exciting when you already know the ending). What other books by Andy Weir would you recommend?

  • Let's see 4G LTE releases over the years...

    • Release 8 (2008): Introduced base LTE capabilities, including high peak data rates (up to 300 Mbps downlink, 75 Mbps uplink), improved spectral efficiency, flexible bandwidth options, and lower latency compared to 3G.

    • Release 9 (2011): Enhanced aspects of Release 8, such as carrier aggregation (combining multiple frequency bands for increased bandwidth), improved handover (switching between cell towers), and support for multicast/broadcast services.

    • Release 10 (2011): Introduced LTE Advanced, marking a significant step forward. It brought features like wider bandwidth support, further carrier aggregation enhancements, and MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) antenna technology for increased capacity and efficiency.

    • Release 11 (2013): Continued improvements on LTE Advanced, focusing on enhanced interoperability with Wi-Fi, power saving features, and self-organizing network (SON) functionalities for network optimization.

    • Release 12 (2014): Furthered LTE Advanced capabilities, including support for Voice over LTE (VoLTE) calls, machine-type communication (MTC) for low-power devices, and coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission for improved coverage and capacity.

  • Would you like a pizza or a cheesecake?

    Yes.

  • I really want to use kbin/mbin but there isn't any mobile app. It has a mobile layout but it just isn't as good as a proper mobile app.

  • Should put "Total War: Rome" on the screen.

  • You will be surprised how many security camera and door access systems require an ancient OS to work.

    Many firms refuse to spend money on replacing such systems.

  • "Cloud" is the name of my first love.

  • hmmmm

    Jump
  • Thanks. Now I know I should avoid using LLM for anything related to maths.

  • Ants eat beans and toast too, but with seasoning.

  • Mildly infuriating photo of the disc being inserted upside down.

  • Is anyone else yawning while reading this? 🥱

  • This title makes me decide never to upvote any post linking to pcgamer site. And never site the site of course.
