Re: tumbled through the turbulence

I miss read that as Tree Falling.

Which would a more accurate description.

Landing at O'hare is like falling through a tree for 20 minutes while blindfolded.

Ofcom measured UK's 5G radiation and found that, no, it won't give you cancer

Microwaves are good for you.

Since the late 1990s mobile phone use has increased exponentially by about a million percent. There are supposedly more mobiles than people! Certainly when you consider all the IoT devices.

In the same time period, life expectancy globally has also seen a general rise.

If there are any conclusions about bathing ourselves in low level, high frequency non-ionizing radiation, then it's that it is beneficial!

What about cisco?

You all forgot to mention the Cisco spark webex teams chimera. Clearly catching up with the UX of the 1990s.

IT has kindly sort of given this to the company without actually asking us if it's what we wanted and without really telling anyone about it.

I suppose if slack doesn't change much more they may catch up in the next couple of years

I'm assuming the neat L shaped line of holes in the Martian sand towards the bottom right corner is something that the rover made.... only it's not highlighted in any of the snapshots....

More likely the empty squares are really where there's no reception

2 Things from this, how is it supposed to report no reception when there is no reception. That always thwarts my ability to call my rubbish service provider to complain about the frequent drop outs and zero reception areas - I live within zone 2 London - it's a joke. - Yes, that's you O2.

Second, the report notes that the worst reception is along many main roads and rail routes - Again, this is exaclty when I /need/ my phone to be working. I frequently travel for business and I have to be able to hold a conference call without having to call back in 10 times in 30 minutes.

Hopefully this will encourage some improvement....? Well here's hoping.
