Yeah but then we instead have the sample rate issue, so 8khz or 16khz depending if your calling with GSM or VoLTE, so still not perfect but good enough for most people I guess.
Frankly: as long as I properly understand the other party, the phone served it's purpose.
Yeah, I was just going back to what I was what I was writing about before that at least I rarely talk in the phone because of these small and big "barriers", like the bandwidth in the instance.
I resisted getting a cell phone for many years due to the high costs, etc. There was very little time I couldn't be reached in an emergency that I was wasn't at arms length from a landline either at work or home. I finally acquired my first cell phone when costs came way down simply for the safety factor of the times I'd be out on the road on my motorcycle and might need some form of roadside assistance. In those 25 years I've needed it twice, once for a flat tire and once for a dead charging system. Otherwise I hate being on a communication leash, when I want to communicate with someone, I will. Call me and if no answer leave a message. I'm also attentive to my email and that's more than enough for me.
Sorry if your offended but when 6 people can't sit down to a dinner in a restaurant without all of them having their faces buried in a phoneAnd saying there is something seriously wrong with me and my generation is quite rude and actually quite stupid, I mean it was your generations job to raise us, so what seriously wrong did YOU do?
So why do you oppose cell phone towers and then take a dim view of cell phone service while using that service?
D, No ones lobbying against cell phones, we all have them, they can be and are life savers.
Isn't that something? Years ago, my group of best friends (now it's 3 of us left) decided that we'd always keep our cell phones away while we spent time together. No constant checking for messages. No Google search lookups when somebody wanted to add a fact to the conversation - either you remember or you don't, and it's amazing how many things actually you end o remembering when you're having a good discussion... the whole thing about "Was it...?" and everybody's gray cells start working hard and -voila!- you remember, you made your brain work hard! There is far more satisfaction in that than in constantly looking stuff up on the internet. My GF is a total smartphone addict, but she knows I hate it. For work, I am attached to communication devices and completely available 12 hours a day, basically, and I hate to perpetuate that into my "me" time. But we'll do the New York Times crossword together.
Read that again. I don’t oppose towers at all—the local politicians have seen a steady stream of communication from me expressing the need. It’s the political heavy hitters that live around me. My county has the highest median income in the USA—lots of wealthy and politically savvy heavy hitters trying to preserve the rural landscape, apparently, who give mundane communications tasks to “their people”.
Satire aside, does that actually happen?
We have drifted waaaay off discussing OLED issues
but I think that should be the default expectation *everybody* should understand. No one can expect me to react immediately to any notification that isn't urgently critical. Even with a new romance, I tell her I will not stay in virtual communication all day. I like to concentrate on things I do. With work it's mandatory, but also when I get home and listen to music or read... I leave my phone on the kitchen counter. I never-ever take my phone into my bedroom. Other than a modest (but very good sounding) system, there are zero electronics allowed there.
I'm kinda flabbergasted that no moderator yelled at us yet. :'DWe have drifted waaaay off discussing OLED issues
The wording was ambiguous. I see apparently you meant people who are against towers such as where you live. Not that you were.Read that again.

I’ve said this before here, but the Internet communications standard when I moved here was dial-up for residential customers, ISDN for most commercial customers, and T1 for bigger concerns. Well, except for UUNET and AOL, both of which were headquartered in this vicinity. They got what they wanted. Now, we are the land of data centers, but that’s at the other end of the county.
But I have the same problem in any hotel room in Manhattan, for example, and I have two phones, one on AT&T and the other on Verizon.
My point, made here many times, is that cellular still doesn’t fulfill the requirements for all legitimate use cases.
Of course, this has precisely zip to do with OLED, except that I have not much use for 4K capability.

Well yeah, I was saying that people are different and explained why I prefer not to talk on the phone and that I prefer text or IRL instead, and all I get back is "something is seriously wrong with you!". That is not the proper way of talking to people, especially since that ironically makes you and your generation look bad.
Absolutely, I see it all the time in restaurants, etc.
Because most of the stuff I do on my PC involves static content. Long hours of Desktop use, many, many hours in Blender (Viewport is dynamic but the surrounding UI is not). OLED simply can't handle that for long and I am not in the mood to replace the screen due to uneven wear after a year or so.
Oookay. The Cinema one is just retarded, agreed. Restaurants I can kinda understand, sometimes the discussions simply revolve around topics you're not interested in, so I'd zone out too. Then again I avoid restaurants and people gatherings. Having multiple discussions running simultaneously and 5-6 humans blare against each other & copious amount of background noise is super taxing.People actually have to be asked to shut off their phones in the cinema and I still
see the bright screens flashing all around the theater in front of me.
I have a LG B7 from 2017 with quite many hours of Blender and other static Windows things, and also lots of movies and Youtube but still no visible burnin (except some on test colours like pure pink or whatever)
