I am seeing the news today that Apple CEO Tim Cook is now publicly gay, I am not an Apple fan, but I am glad to see more and more people are starting to come out and are not being afraid of who they are. I myself am and proud of it myself, just like in all the articles I have seen "Let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay...."   http://money.cnn.com/2014/10/30/technology/tim-cook-gay/

Good for him. I already read that Russian wants to ban him because they think they're going to get AIDs or Ebola. It's amazing how tiny minded, disgusting, and ignorant people can be.

Its unfortunate what world we live in and people acting the way just like you said "tiny minded,stupid and ignorant". The gay community seems to still be viewed wrong.

That is true. It brings out the ignorant and I had to unfollow two folks on twitter over their stupid comments. I admire and salute that Cook took the leap and courage to come out. He is in such a high position that it wouldn't affect him one single bit announcing his coming out, but there are tons of folks not as fortunate as him that can't come out for fear of harassment, loss of income and even fear for life.

Its still not a perfect world yet, but at least we are at a point in time that folks can come out of the closet unlike decades ago when no one dared.

Great for him! Hopefully this makes it easier for others that are not in such high places in society to feel comfortable with who they are and to have others accept them for who they are. :)

Someone cares what Russia thinks? Not this guy! :)

 

 

See the thread title.  Maybe the Russians thought he was commieing out.

This thread is being unlocked to all for further intelligent conversation about the recent news involving Tim Cook and his recent announcement.

 

If at any immediate moment any of our members makes a derogatory comment or a comment we feel is inappropriate, it will lead to immediate corrective action, including up to termination of your account here at S4GRU.

 

We are a community of all races, religion, sexual orientation and what ever anyone here wants to determine themselves to be.

 

I don't care if your friend, family member, neighbor, co-worker or your dog identifies as being of the LGBT community. This rule still applies to you too.

 

So needless to say tread lightly with your following comments.

This is really great news. As a heterosexual male, I feel we need more of these high profile figures announcing their homosexuality. Maybe it will help (even a little bit) some younger folks deal with their own sexuality. We live in such a ridiculous world where people have to hide and suppress their true desires. It's so archaic how some people feel about these groups that it makes me sick. Way to go, Tim. Now, can we finally go back to the old Apple logo? :)

I'm glad we live in a society that allows you to express the true nature of your sexual orientation.  I still recommend he put the iPhone somewhere the sun doesn't shine, but this time I'll suggest he put it securely inside his desk so he isn't so distracted at work.  :D  :tu:  Better?   

 

* I do support homosexual unions and legalization of MJ for medical

Since I feel your "Better?" comment is a publicly sarcastic response to my warning, let me publicly say, enjoy your week suspension from S4GRU. Hopefully when you return you'll have a better attitude.

 

Let this show to all members that the staff at S4GRU does not care what your member title is. Everyone must follow the rules.

Robert is traveling today, so as tech editor, I am the admin pro tem.  As such, I am going to lay down the law -- and there will be no debate about my decision.

 

This thread is hereby locked and will not be reopened.  However, it will not be deleted nor hidden.  It will remain viewable for those who wish to read it.  That is the best compromise between two competing agendas that seemingly cannot get along in this discussion.

    • S23 and S24 (at least ultra versions) have 4xCA NR. I currently have n41+n41+n25+n71 most places I go.  I think select devices have 2xCA upload but I do not think it is in widespread use yet. CA is still mostly download focused.
    • If they use n41 + n41 2CA, people that are somewhat distant from the cell site will have an OK download but the upload will be a disaster.  Upload capability on b-41 was always a disaster on the old Sprint Network.   Now, with n25 + n41 combination, even the more distant users have a more decent upload.  I see n41 + n41 + n25 now with my S22 and I understand that we will see 4xCA with newer phones in the future.     I also see n41 + n41 + n71 sometimes too. Also some other combinations of 25, 41, 71.  I would think that eventually we will see AWS paired with n41 too.  What I am not sure of is ----  when I see 3xCA on my S22, I can see the 3 channels involved in the download but I am never sure just what I have on the upload. I do not think I have 3xCA on the upload.
    • I don't know enough about the nuts and bolts of NR to know the answer, but is there a reason they're not doing two overlapping 100 MHz n41 carriers and using selective resource shutoff to make each one 97 MHz?  Thus making use of the full 194 MHz instead of leaving 4 MHz unused as implied by the current standard 100+90 configuration? - Trip
    • Looks like another T-Mobile 5G bump happened over the past week and a half, maybe less: n41 carriers are now 90+100 MHz, up from 80+100 (which in turn is up from 40+100 back in early March). This is on top of the new n25 carrier recently. As part of this, it looks like T-Mobile is starting to prefer n25+n41 2CA even when pushing data, rather than having higher levels of CA that would hit higher peak speeds; at least indoors I need to force n41-only if I want to see the full 190 MHz there. To be fair the speeds are plenty quick with that amount of spectrum, and I'm sure they're load balancing, and my guess is this is a little better for battery life? With this expansion, they're now at 10x10+10x10 n25, 15x15 n71, 100+90 n41, for a total of 260 MHz (including FD uplink) of deployed NR here, up from 250 MHz a week ago, 230 MHz two weeks ago, and 190 MHz six months ago. VZW is at 140 MHz minus mmW, 170 if you count n2 DSS. AT&T is at 150 MHz (80+40 n77, 15x15 n5), 210 MHz I think if you count n2 and n66 DSS (guessing they're still running those). With this level of spectrum they should be able to continue offering home internet wherever. Guessing this is the last upgrade they can make before they need to throw new equipment on sites for C-Band. At this rate I figure that'll happen next year on a few dozen high-traffic sites.
