Comment Re:Wrong dimension (Score 1) 72

The Moto G hasn't been a small device in a decade. The current iteration is a 6.7" screen, which is well above the 6" line that makes it a phablet. The base iPhone 17 is smaller at 6.2", but that is also enormous. I will hold on to my Iphone 13 mini.

I did have the 1st gen moto g and it was the perfect size at 4.5", but it is sadly outdated to use now.

That's how wifi standards work though. They'll establish 99% of spec years before it reaches final spec. They'll even put alpha/beta products on consumer shelves before the spec is finalized. Rather or not the pre-final hardware supports the post-final spec is in the air, and many devices get left in the dust or abandoned to a lack of firmware updates anyway.

I have 320mhz w7 hardware and I, by choice, run my AP at 160mhz. In my environment it's faster and more reliable. 320mhz may be useful in some edge cases where you live in a shoebox and don't have many neighbors interfering. But if you have many neighbors, or a sizable home, you get better performance from 160, or even 80, mhz widths.

This is correct. Quantum computing is, largely, a grift. There will never be a working model, proof of concept, or productized release. A few qubits in a lab costs millions of dollars and, unlike silicon, there is NO path to economy of scale. This puts it out of reach of even billionaire or 1st world government black budgets, and even if the cost WAS sunk, the stuff doesn't even function as the hype says it does.
