Episode notes
Speaker 1
Yeah, not that hot Okay, uh my next hottest take Was that 5g sucks mostly because most people agreed with me Five g's just not good
Speaker 2
I think there was like one use case that I saw it in and I believe New York Has pretty decent 5g apparently so
Speaker 1
if you live in a developed city near a tower
Speaker 2
It's not it's not millimeter wave though. It's oh Oh sea band. Yeah, man.
Speaker 1
Yeah, mid
Speaker 2
band is like pretty solid. So that
Speaker 1
is so niche and yeah I guess if you're in a city that's awesome So if you are a podcast listener in one of the like 100 countries that's not New York City You probably would agree that 5g is pretty
Speaker 2
bad. Would you argue that if I change that sentence to um If your parents ask you if they should upgrade to 5g You should say no is that just not is that the coldest take ever now?
Speaker 1
Yes, it's just a fact. It's just a fact. Okay. Yeah, if you if they're if your parents are like, hi I'm choosing between these two phones and I'm deciding if I should pick the one of 5g or not You could just say yeah save your money mom and dad not worth it right now That was looks mad at me saying
Speaker 3
what do any phones not have 5g
Speaker 1
Thanks to carriers. That's actually a really good point. Thanks to carriers most phones have 5g Yeah, and they're all more expensive and all the plans are more expensive and all the battery lives are all worse And they get hotter and they get hotter and and it's like for what for
Speaker 2
what yeah, I get my speeds on You might be right there was a moment though where I know like Verizon was trying to upgrade people into the 5g plan And like whether they had a 5g phone or not. I know my mom texted me asking if you should do that I was like no, yeah
Speaker 1
So on the scoville scale, I'm putting 5g sucks only because there are people in New York who would disagree I'm putting this at at 1000.
