Wine, from the first moment I saw it decades ago, seems to be all about doing the sisyphean tasks no one else wants to be doing. I'm still in awe how they managed to get Wine to where it is today, so if someone can do it, it's the wine devs :)
Second, they built a 5g mast put didn't put any equipment in it and left it 3 months. Several local threads on Facebook from the tweakers about how it was causing all sorts of completely unrelated problems from tinnitus to covid to mind control. Then someone burned it. There is still no equipment in the cabinet or mast today, nearly 4 years on. No one got 5g.
This is standard advice among ham radio operators. If you're putting up a tower, put it up, mount the antennas, run the feedlines, but resist the temptation to operate for a while. Or use it for receive-only.
Log your activity, or lack thereof, meticulously. Perhaps a critical part was back-ordered, or more expensive than expected, and note in the log how it still hasn't arrived so you still aren't able to operate. If complaints come in, get them to be maximally public about it, ideally in a town meeting or something, then whip out your logbook and coup-fourré. Let the wackos show themselves to be wackos, then quietly start operating some time later.
I'd say it's developing-world tier, but a lot of the developing world has really good 5G signal these days.
They also have a much bigger population using exclusively mobiles rather than landlines, since their infrastructure developed when the former was already available, and it's cheaper to just put up a few towers than run one landline to each subscriber.
> It's worth noting that 450MHz was listed as one of the GSM bands, but apparently was never used
It's specified for 4G/LTE (Band 31, 72 & 73) and 5G (Band n31 & n72) as well! The bandwidth is pretty low though at just 5 MHz, but it's used for special purpose stuff like electricity meters. I'm not aware of any consumer devices that use this frequency.
I think that part of the article is wrong. The old radio system apparently uses ~400 MHz, but ESN seems to use the same/similar bands as mobile services (700 MHz and above).
Several times I have rewritten overly-multithreaded (and intermittently buggy) processes with a single-threaded version, and both reduced LoC to roughly 1/20th and binary size to 1/10th, while also obtaining a few times speedup and reduced memory usage, and entirely eliminating many bugs.
Letting the use choose is the right answer. I’d go as far as to argue that in some sense, theming is an important accessibility feature because it allows users to adjust UI to meet needs that the developer may not have even known to exist.
