Reply to comment by [deleted] in Open-source tool from MIT’s Senseable City Lab lets people check air quality, cheaply. by chrisdh79

Look, your favorite platform is not under attack right now. That's not the point I'm trying to make.

What I'm saying is that some programming work is better off using an ethernet cable than a cellular connection. Sorry my guy, mobile is not what they use in MIT for weather updates or small incremental changes. They still use ethernet for that.

There's a difference between one wanting something to be true and whether or not it actually is. I know you love your mobile and use it for everything but it's still not the fastest.

And I'm not saying this will always be the case, I'm just saying you live in a future that doesn't exist yet.

Believe me, I'd love to be able to program everything using my Fold 3 but the damn thing hates most things that aren't Android.

You should probably brush up on connectivity, No one except for you seems to want to die on this hill that mobile is more effective than ethernet with speed.

Most programmers seem to know this already.

Next time maybe you can refrain from moving goal posts when your previous assertions don't stand up to scrutiny.

Out of all my devices in the fully connected home, the phone is the least reliable.

Dunno why you champion it, maybe you'll have a better argument for a comparable reliability x speed in a few years but it lacks that right now.

The most confusing part about this conversation is that I'm using a lot of different platforms for programming. There is no contest, mobile still underperforms my other equipment. You'd be aware of its shortcomings too if you did what I did.

Ah, I see. Your servers work so well that you forgot you had them and you're accidentally crediting mobile for their work.
