No one needs 5G

I finally went unlimited. Sprint and T-Mobile have merged, and the 100$/4 Line promo for unlimited (essentials) was too good to pass up. I signed up with T-Mobile in 2016 after AT&T couldn't keep their promises and was just charging me left, right, and center, for just owning a smartphone and other bullshit. My bill went from around 85$ a month for the family, to over 250$ over night, and there was nothing they could do to fix it, and I was only getting 300mb of shared data...in 2016. In 2016 countries like Korea and Chine were rolling out LTE unlimited for almost free to everyone compared to what we had in the states. The internet, was a public commodity there, unlike in the US, were the internet was just another cash grab for big corps.

When I switched to T-Mobile, I got 4 lines, for 100$ a month (plus taxes and fees it came to 117$) for 1GB of data, per person. Eventually it was upgraded for free to 2.5gb, and then to 4gb until 2021 when they would eventually do away with the plan for ever. Sure, the service was junk in 2016, but over time it has gotten better and honestly, I just try to use my phone less because cellphone addiction, is a real problem in this world.

This brings me to 5G. My new plan includes 5G for "free" (I mean, are we seriously going to charge people for that?). I have been seeing people posting their speed tests online with 120-150mbps download speeds on their phones. And here is the issue. No one...needs 5G.

To stream 4k Blue ray you need at least 60mbps internet connection. To stream 1080p blue ray? 12mbps. So if our phones have 1080p screens, and the average user could care less about HDR...Why do we need 150mbps download speeds to a phone? Why do we need a technology that is proven to be just a giant fucking microwave for our brains? Why do we need more cellular radiation than ever? Population control? What? Tell me?

Are we seriously going to saturate the fucking bandwidth? Here is the thing, most carriers in the US throttle your internet speed when there is congestion...well guess what, the SLOWEST 1 Bar of LTE I have ever tested...was 25mbps. Which is enough to watch the absolute HIGHEST quality 1440p video stream.

You may say its for latency or for driver-less cars and all that junk...Look, if we had 110% LTE coverage in the country, we wouldn't need 5G. We have wifi everywhere, we have starlink coming in the near future...who needs 5G, or the speeds that it offers?

100% of people who needs speeds of over 60mbps are going to be using a wired connection anyway because it is more stable than wireless. Maybe I am crazy, but I have 6mbps download broadband at home...And that speed is enough 95% of the time. There are times, where I wish my steam library would update faster, but I just leave it over night and its fine. 

Have we went off the deep end of consumerism that we need 4k HDR Blueray video on a screen the size of our palm where you won't even be able to tell the difference between that and 480p? Like come on! What the actually hell is going on with this world.

Is Mobage Spying on Android users? Tiny Tower

I saw the game called tiny tower on my friends ipod and he sayed it did not need internet at all (Duh). So i went on the android market, and downloaded, it.

I started up the app, and it sayed it needed aditional data from online. Well that was typical on a game. So i turned on my only source of internet (wifi, i dont have data untill i get a job) and downloaded it. Later on that day, my wifi was off to not drain batter life on my LG Thrive, and the game would not start, i was confused? I turned on my wifi and it worked, wow.

Ok, i played the game for like 2 months and then i strated thinking (lol, first think then do right), why the game needed internet. I read the permissions and here is what it sayed:

  Here is what i think needs to go:
  1. Location! it is always their on most apps, but mobage does not need to know where the fuck im at. (sorry for the language again and again).
  2. Personal info/ contacts, why does mobage want to know who i keep in touch with?
  3.Phone calls, why do they need to know who im calling.
  4.Storage, why does it need to know what music i have on my sd card omfg.
  5.System tools, well some things here can stay but things like : Allows the app to retrieve information about currently and recently running tasks. Malicious apps may discover private information about other apps. I think here mobage is talkin about itself, it is malicous undercover.
  
  
  All i have to say to this is : WHAT...THE...FUCK!
  They dont need to know where im at.
  This is just a warning, apps can do ANYTHING, (not too long ago, mobage got rid of the permission to read text messages).
