I didn't realize that the chip embargo was just targeting 5G. What an absurd move. It's a completely unimportant technology, why is that where you draw the line in the sand? And it's not some incredibly advanced thing that's hard to replicate, it's just a communications standard embedded on a chip. The only thing this embargo does is force China to arbitrarily build this specific supply chain entirely in their own country. Which China's rivals shouldn't even want! Having supply chains spread across dozens of countries makes it harder for all of those countries to go to war
I'm so sick of hearing about 5G my god why is it in everyone's mind so much? I've been able to stream a youtube video at 720 over 4g for a while now what do you need to do faster than that on a phone?? I'm a big tech nerd but this literally doesn't affect me.
It may not affect you, but it does affect me. 5G helps greatly with congestion. We have a holiday home in a skiing resort in Switzerland and during peak season, 4G is practically unusable, even 720p cat videos barely load. Last year several 5G antennas were installed around the village and I now get speeds >300Mbit, allowing me to even comfortably work remotely from there. 5G has had a very positive impact on my life.
Hey so did lenin, he hated it though
