Me neither, but I think the whole point of this article was to promote wigle.net.

How long it takes for robot to take all the pictures and how many pictures there is?

Yes, phone with real keyboard. Last one I had was Nokia E7, five to six years ago, and I still miss the keyboard.
Re:Ericsson and T-Mobile ink $3.5B deal for 5G on Tuesday September 11, 2018 @03:00PM (#17962328)
I get 50Mbps with 4G connection for 20euros per month. No data cap. Public ipv4 address.

Router is 4 years old Huawei 4g router and I have installed outdoor antenna on the roof for stable connection. I have been with this setup at home for the last 4 years.

I could propably get faster connection with new router but this is fine.

4G has been my only connection at home since 2013. I pay 20 euros a month for unlimited 50Mbit/s 4G connection and I can watch two Netflix 1080p streams and do other things at the same time easily. ISP also provides public IPv4 address so I can run servers at home. I live in Finland.
This was worth watching. It was really weird tho (spoilers ahead. Stop reading if you care)

Documentary crew travels 300 kilometers by boat to meet two hermits living alone in the taiga. These two neighbours have a long history in harsh enviroment but they seem to live pretty normal life in the woods. Documentary crew soon realises they have a boring story to tell so they start asking awkward questions about sexual relationships in the past.

Both neighbours have a different story to tell. Incest and rape is mentioned. Old wounds are open again and that is when the crew decides to leave saying they did not start the conversation.

What the hell just happened? :)

I cannot read it either and I am in Finland. My ISP (Elisa) blocks the site without any explanation.
