#3g
I have had the awful task of having to upgrade my very old mobile phone, as they are in the throes of dismantling the old 3G network.
Apart from screaming into the ether, my necessity is to degoogle the cheap replacement Android phone, as a priority. Now, this isn’t my primary phone, just a standby, but it still needs all that telemetry, data tracking and invasive apps as limited as possible. Bye bye Tik Tok, LinkedIn, Facebook etc etc.
Once I am sure that is as locked down as possible, I will be installing a different browser, messaging app, VPN etc. And try to make sure it doesn’t suck my account credit to nothing, with surreptitious mobile data use. And I will try my very hardest to not have to log in, to do updates. If I do need to, it will be logged out and the account “forgotten” as soon as I am finished.
Wish me luck. I hate having to upgrade technology that still works 🥵😫

@stman @PrivacyDigest @theruran @50htz @vidak @forthy42 @oceane Again: #capitalism and.it's power structures as well as modalities incentivizes this #Centralization and #Enshittification.
- Just like you see it with other #Businesses where you end up with monopolies, duopolies, tripolies or other oligopolies that subsequently shape #regulation through #lobbyism to basically make any new competition impossible.
That's why it's basically impossible to start an #MVNO, mich less a real mobile neteork and even less if you don't want to deploy #backdoored shite like #GSM / #3G / #4G / #5G but actually something that works.
TIL: Mobile Service Provider in Australien (müssen?) Geräte blocken, wenn sie irgendwelche Bugs beim #Notruf haben.
Also z.B. wenn #Telstra dein Home Carrier ist und die 📱 es nicht sauber schaffen über #Optus oder #Vodafone nen Notruf rauszubekommen (da #3G IIRC mittlerweile auch in Australien abgeschalten ist, dürften sie vermutlich den Emergency IMS Bearer nicht sauber hoch bekommen).

3G в каждый подвал. Как устроена и как работает фемтосота
Приветствую всех! Уже не раз я рассказывал про устройство сотовых сетей разных стандартов и годов. Но общим там было одно: базовая станция в любой сотовой сети - достаточно мощное, габаритное и дорогостоящее устройство. Но начиная со стандарта 3G появились их миниатюрные аналоги - фемтосоты. Как же они устроены, что позволяют реализовать полноценную базовую станцию в корпусе устройства, занимающего места не больше, чем обычный Wi-Fi роутер? Сейчас и разберёмся. Заодно узнаем, как они вообще работают, а также немного поговорим о том, почему вам очень вряд ли удастся самим запустить такую штуку дома. Press F1 to continue

Obviously the #zeebo flopped, espechally due to #Qualcomm's #BREW #OS ¹ which is basically '#JavaMobile but worse in order to circumvent #SoftwarePatents' whilst also having dogshit performance and being hard to develop for or even port games to, making it even worse than #Gizmondo or #NGage which used #J2ME.
- Making the #OUYA look like a piece of perfection in comparison, because that #cube didn't cost 20x more to port games to but merely demanded the (OUYA-exclusive) #GameController #API (which predates the later #Android-Standardized one!) to be supported, which is closer to a #patch than a #redevelopment!
But even in a starved market like #Brazil most households weren't gonna dump over 1 month minimum wage on an aging #3G-#Cellphone with composite video and 6-button #USB #controllers.
- Also who thought that announcing a price cut before launch was a good idea in a time the "Osbourne Effect" was already well known?
So yeah, blame Qualcomm for this shitshow...
- To add insult to injury, #piracy on it is rampant... and the #PS2 whipped it's ass around town cuz it even as #import #console like the #PlayStation2 could shaft them in spite of #tariffs because by that point #Sony closed their books on that platform and didn't give a fuck about #piracy, only allowing pre-agreed licensees like #EA to still shove out their games for it.
And lets be honest, #Edutainment is not a cash cow because in places like #Mexico it's way easier to get even cheaper #PC|s due to #NAFTA #FreeTrade (i.e. all the stuff #refurbishers couldn't sell in the #USA anymore got offered there before being sold further south...
- Really sad, cuz if the Zeebo was like a €50 box, it could've been a smash hit, so it died due to lack of resources...
Needless to say the Zeebo is the strongest argument for #StopKillingGames as these devices are nearly useless these days and piracy is the only way to get / change games on it and play them these days.
- Also respect to Derek from #SSFF for playing the entire Zeebo catalogue tho there's nothing to ride home about...
Nowadays the nieche of the zeebo is served by cheap #PCs for #gaming even cheaper #Android devices and (aside from few stores like #Steam that managed to upstell a #DRM as a #feature), rampant #piracy to the point that #MobileGaming outside of #iOS is basically dead unless we account #PayToLoose #Shovelware of the "#DisguisedGambingGame" kind as "#Gaming" which is an insult even for #gambling, because there at least in theory, with a honest operator the chance of winning is greater than zero (tho I'd still disrecommend it because no gambling game is *"fair" beyond the theoretical chance of winning by the rules)...

Как мы отключали 3G
Казалось бы, всего‑то: вместо 3G на смартфоне теперь высвечивается LTE. Но за этим изменением стоит огромный труд технических специалистов. Как же устроен один из важнейших процессов в улучшении качества связи? Рефарминг — инструмент, который операторы связи используют для улучшения качества голосового сервиса и скорости передачи данных. Сегодня расскажем про алгоритм проведения рефарминга: почему этот процесс трудоемкий и ответственный, и как технологические изменения влияют на клиентский путь.

Switch-off of #3G affecting some #electric #vehicle #chargers
Mobile operator’s switch-off of 3G in #Scotland causing issues with some of Shetland’s electric vehicle chargers
Shetland Islands Council (SIC) said it was aware of disruption to charging network, which is due to #O2’s3G switch-off in #Shetland
The SIC’s environment and estate operations manager Carl Symons said this was part of a wider shut-down of 3G across Scotland.
La 2G vit ses derniers mois, mais 2,66 millions de terminaux l’utilisent encore
https://next.ink/214697/la-2g-vit-ses-derniers-mois-mais-266-millions-de-terminaux-lutilisent-encore/
Au dernier décompte, il restait encore 2,66 millions de cartes SIM 2G seulement en service, dont 1,57 million dans des terminaux pour des services de type voix, SMS et Internet mobile. Dans trois ans, ce sera au tour de la 3G, encore utilisée par 2,99 millions de terminaux.

With the shutdown of #3G and most of #2G in #Sweden I lost the ability to make phone calls on my roaming SIM. Not that I do it much, very rarely in fact, but would be nice to be able to do it when I need it.
My carrier seems to have an ePDG, so #VoWiFi could be an option. And then I found out that there is an open source IMS client stack: https://osmocom.org/projects/foss-ims-client/wiki/VoWiFi_with_Asterisk
Could be a weekend project at some point perhaps 🤔
HMD, yeni 3G telefonları HMD 100, 101 ve 102 ile belirli bölgeleri hedefliyor. Sadece 3G ve microUSB şarj desteği sunan bu modeller, sadeleşmeyi sevenlere hitap ediyor. 3G hala geçerli mi?
