Youth is wasted on the young.

 

Maybe we should age like Orkans instead.

Having years on you is not fair, how so? I wish I was still your age, means I would still be in school and not have to worry about bills and work.

I'm not sure if you are referring to me. If so, I'm in school and I still worry about work and bills. Everything is subject to your own experiences. Honestly I can't wait to be done with school and have my degree and all of this behind me. It's too much for just one person to deal with, IMO.

I was actually referring to Rukin. He said he is 21 years old. When I was 21 I didn't have much to worry about. It is true that experiences will vary on the individual. I had significant help from my parents. Started my career at age 23, been on my own since. (I'm 26)

i've seen 5 inch floppies, they are huge, but the 3 inch ones are the ones I used.

 

That's what she said!

 

(Just submitting proof that while I'm an old 40+ fart, I do still keep up with some of the more youthful hipster trends)

 

(Also, I'm ashamed of AJ, he should have picked up on that long before me since this is the first time I've even read this thread)

He's right though, i've seen 5 inch floppies, they are huge, but the 3 inch ones are the ones I used.

If you are 5 inches while still "floppy," that is none too shabby.

 

:P

ok I have a potential newb question. What 'frequency latitude' do cell phone antenna have? The reason I ask is I am curious with the advent of the qualcomm rf360 what the potential is for 'flashing' a sprint phone with that front end chip to say a verizon or the other way. In theory the chip would support it, but how close would the frequencies need to be assuming it could be tricked into switching. I assume the presence of three antenna (in addition to BT \ wifi etc) for cell service relates to the bands meaning the antenna have some limits or just to allow multiple transmissions at once. I could be entirely wrong as well!! 

 

I do miss the good old days with quad band phones that you could pretty much get on ans gsm network in the world and a few 'worldphones' that could do virtually any network. 

 

And sadly I do remember 5 1/4 inch floppies (they were actually floppy unlike the 3 1/2 inchers), I also used reel to reel tape drives which had somewhere around 120mb of capacity, although thats less to do with my age and more to do with the tightness of my employer at the time :) They did have a wolfcreek though, that was a shiny toy and amusing to watch at full speed.

    • Checked just now and found a 56MB GP System update pending...will follow up after install.    Edit:  Confirmed that this one moved from August to September 1 after updating.
    • Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
