Nice and non-hyped compilation of 5G features. Yet, given the title, I need to nit-pick that the article solely focuses on the radio layer.

There's a whole lot of other challenges arising in the core-network. I wish the article went on in the same style, covering these challenges, too.

This. Thank you for putting my vague thoughts into words.

Teenagers deserve time to think about stuff and to adults.

MVP?

In context of GnuRadio and similar, do any projects already utilize FPGA acceleration as offered by USRP?

From what I've seen, it all happens on the CPU.

How would the carrier know if you use your cellphone for tethering, and separately bill that traffic?

Well there's other issues with Linux on the desktop that doesn't let anybody except developers use it productively.

You always have to weight your priorities, and getting stuff done is often number one priority.

so that 8GB option I considered to buy doesn't even have upgradeable RAM? Thank you for that page, it's incredibly helpful, also since I'm in a region without English website.

The configuration page lists the options like that:

8GB (4GB soldered + 4GB)

8GB

For me that implies the 8GB are configurable. What the fuck.

I'm sure that Mark Twain didn't have today's tourists in mind, who are rushing from tourist attraction to tourist attraction, calling themselves "traveller" instead of "tourist".

To get from tourist to traveller, just add 8000km to any flight taken.

I'm very glad that OP included "at least a year".

T480s with WQHD display is only available online, or though campus programmes. Retailers only offer less bright FHD display.

While I think most of the "series" itself make sense, the configurations are often insane.

The X280 still has a 1366x768 display option.

For T480s, you need to figure out if you have 8GB RAM or 4GB soldered + 4GB. Even more stupid, the latter option comes more expensive.

Good luck ordering anything from Lenovo. For me, checkout failed after successful Visa verification. Support answers they don't know why and cannot help. Unacceptable for me if I do 1800€ purchases. Warranty terms are completely obfuscated.

Try to find an answer if your TP has world-wide support. You can't. It needs IWS International Warranty Service. TPs have that by default, people say, but during checkout it will tell you IWS is not applicable (because included? the IWS model number list will tell you, but do you have the correct model number during checkout?)

And there's quite aggressive and odd hyphenation. Despite left justified and lots of space everywhere. Rather squeeze the stuff in one line, or start the next one.

But I think LaTeX doesn't get this right by default, too. The microtype package is something that avoids most unnecessary hyphens.

As in "people moving to the city", it is. But in my area, the city density never reaches a level where anything except the car is really convenient. Sure you can take the bus. If you're back home at 11, willing make a 15 minute ride an hour's, and pay the same as for a cheap car.

Slightly off-topic:

This is an ATC recording where pilots lost control over the aircraft. Figuring out what to do when the aircraft goes to random directions, they ask for the direction of the ocean to ditch in. Because of low visibility they have no idea where they are going.

The description suggests that during maintenance, some steering control was attached in the wrong way.

In this case, the pilots have like an hour to figure out how to control the aircraft.

tl;dr bullshit social media story picked up by other media

Sounds like they still run steam-powered.

Are there any users on Twitter except for politicians and journalists, hyping each other's mistakes, and as third group people who try to be funny every Tweet?

That's what mandatory insurance is for. Everyone pays what they can, and gets what they need. Doesn't work perfectly, but allows me to go to a hospital anytime without being broke after.

There's benefit for everybody, which is risk reduction. You actually blame poor people for going to the ER in case of emergency.

If you open any window with toolbars, it's not okay anymore.

I used to work with the laptop everyday. The density is not up to today's standards, and it never was.

Lenovo puts sub-standard displays in their laptops, even the high-end models haven't improved in brightness in many configurations available though retailers.

x230 has a 1366x768 display.

LTE uses symmetric crypto with a pre-shared key stored in your SIM-card and in a database of your provider.

Base stations receive a derivated key. If the base station is not connected to your provider's network, you cannot establish a connection due to the lack of a common key.

LTE handsets connect to any base station, at least on physical layer and management protocols. This is required for mutual authentication.

Some attacks abuse error indication prior authentication for location leaks and denial of service.

Once the connection is established, you're good.
