If anyone ever wants to have a batch of LTE dumb phones built…

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/01/09

via: “SF has lost track of buses because SFMTA didn’t upgrade from 2G (to 3G to 4G to LTE) and AT&T finally turned it off.” – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+

If anyone ever wants to have a batch of LTE dumb phones built:

Andreas Lobinger
+Jeroen Wiert Pluimers I’m not aware of simple-voice-only phones with LTE modem. From my former life at a telephone producer i remember costs to get a platform running and the effort spend on special editions, i’d say if you are willing to buy 50000 we could find someone producing this for you. In China. But as written above, a basic-2G service (for M2M and emergency signalling or calls) will stay for long.

How I remember the German word “Urheberrecht”

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/01/09

Los, heb die Uhr auf. Habe ich das Urheberrecht oder du?

Los, heb die Uhr auf. Habe ich das Urheberrecht oder du?

I’m partially word-blind and an learn by association.

So thanks to the below links, I can now remember Urheberrecht:

It’s about Ur, Heber and Recht.

Any opinions on Men’s Insulated Coat – SCOTTeVEST

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/01/03

Any more people having experience with these?

I’m welcoming any opinions on:

  • comfort
  • size (are sizes like L or XL larger or smaller than most other L or XL clothing; would L or XL better it fit a 1.84m tall person with average waist)
  • durability
  • what happens when you go sit in a bus/aircraft with all the pockets filled
  • what if you drop the jacket with the pockets filled with laptop/ipad/…

The OTG Jacket for Men is a warm jacket with the hidden SCOTTeVEST features of concealed pockets. Carry your gadgets with you, and maintain your style, while keeping warm outside.

HDDWatches site. HDD Watch created from a Microdrive HDD. – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/12/12

[WayBack] Kristian Köhntopp – Google+ – Ist ja bald Weihnachten pointed me to http://www.hddwatches.com/.

If I could wear watches (that’s over since I had RSI in the 1990s), I’d ask one for X-mas.

Which reminds me I still should have a few of these microdrives around.

The manufacturer is based on an Indiegogo project. Here are the links:
