Moving to a smaller firm has been a reminder that these are the shops where a lot of America's righties and fash-acquiescent are employed, particularly now that more white collars can work and live wherever they want. *sigh*

He's not wrong. The Americans who do care mostly just talk about it and do nothing. And honestly, what is there for the average person to do? Donate to some questionable charity fund? Boycott everything made in China (lol)?

CCP gonna CCP.
 
Welp, somebody is lying.

It's either:

a. The 5G providers
b. The airlines
c. The USG regulating the bands
d. The foreign governments
e. The media saying this is a big deal.

Cafe aeronauticians: who it be?
 
You tell me:

From a quick overview, it sounds like this is exclusively C Band 5G which is around 3.7-4.2 GHz but maybe more specifically 3.7-3.98.

aeronautical starts at 4.2. I'm guessing this is fighting over who gets priority right at that boundary +/- .1 GHz.

Edit: here's an interesting bit from cnet
"The carriers, the FCC and the FAA have disagreed on whether C-band 5G signals that use the 3.7 to 3.98GHz frequency range could interfere with instruments like altimeters that measure in the 4.2 to 4.4GHz spectrum. Wireless industry lobbying group CTIA argues that nearly 40 countries �¢?? including Australia, China, France, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom �¢?? already have 5G deployed over C-band with no issues involving aircraft"

So we're talking 220 MHz delta between the highest end mobile and lowest end freq for aircraft. No idea if that's actually meaningful. But my gut says it's similar to the whole turn off your phone warning that they used to say on pushback.

edit 2: I'm wondering what tech the aircraft are using. I'd be surprised if the wave really had a shift of 200+ MHz otherwise we'd have serious issues with any form of modern communication.

edit3: holy shit. Boeing asked for a 100 MHz buffer and the FCC gave them 220 MHz now the FAA is throwing a fit because they sat on their ass for years.

edit 4: more info https://twitter.com/erratarob/status/1483877215331061760?s=21

and another good article
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy...-despite-having-no-proof-of-harm-to-aviation/

So it seems the airline industry, maybe just a few carriers, didn't modernize their altimeters to filter out shitty signals from what many seem to be saying is a fairly beefy guard band of 220 MHz.

FAA adds the 787 and "some" of Embraer's 70-100 seat regional jets to the list of aircraft with approved radio altimeters, bringing the percentage of the US commercial fleet that is 5G interference compliant up to 78%.

Probably a longshot, but I wonder if this ends up hastening the retirement of Satan's Chariot (the 50-seat Bombardier CRJ that everyone hates to fly on).

This is why we only rich people should get liberal arts degrees:

M&M characters that appear in ads will have “more nuanced personalities to underscore the importance of self-expression and power of community through storytelling.”

Bad graduate! You should be independently wealthy and studying Wagner, not a grasping prole sweating for Mars.

The green M&M, for example, will wear sneakers “to reflect her effortless confidence” and the brown M&M will wear sensible kitten heels instead of her previous high heels to show that she is sensible. The red M&M will be less bossy and the orange M&M will “acknowledge his anxiety.”

Just kill me.
 
This tweet about M&Ms just about killed me from laughing so hard:
