Cell Broadcast yes, SMS no.


Isnt the one just "mass usage" of the other?

Like Cell Broadcast just duplicates the SMS on carrier level?


Nah, Cell Broadcast has a lot less overhead since it does not have to do any routing or delivery confirmation and such. The load does not scale based on recipients which makes it far more reliable during an emergency.


Sorry, maybe I did "carrier replication" wrong - I used the word in a sense of "it is duplicated at the local cell by the towers", instead of getting "fed with 1mio receivers in region X by the telco servercentral HQ"

Im wrong, I guess?


Cell broadcast, depending on the emergency level set by the sender, also makes your phone vibrate until you read the message, and may also cause it to play a loud siren noise. Which is the sort of thing you want in a real emergency.


The pictures.


This was planned for DVDs too, but they failed miserably.

In any other case: use MakeMKV


lines of code produced. similar dumb metric.


You sure?

Those regulations go even higher.

The controlling standard is usually 62368, and the target is usually being a "Limited Power Source", which is 60V or less, and 100 VA max.


It's a skill check.


It's gatekeeping. Don't be surprised when your pet project slowly dies because potential new contributors choose to join less hostile communities instead.


Gatekeeping is not always bad.


Gatekeeping is only good when there are no easier options.

When IRC is the only instant messaging system, and it has an entry barrier, clever people will pass this barrier, and stupid people will not.

But when there are easier alternatives, clever people won't bother.


Another unit that requires mental load.


VHS audio was superb.


It really was. I recently got on the VHS bandwagon and the audio feels much more richer to me than say a blu-ray or streaming copy. There's something about the imperfections that resonates with me.


Not only that but VHS gained "Hi-Fi" in the 80ies. Only a CD had higher quality, but considering the equipment it was played probably not by much.


"antisemitism" loses it's meaning if you are using it this way.


Literally the only thing the guy posted was a copy-pasted "Israel" location. What other possible interpretation is there than "this guy is from Israel, so you can't trust him"?


So? Still not antisemitism.
