5g is still struggling to take off in many places, let alone 6g, which doesn't even have a standard yet.
This seems more like China is putting in a chip that doesn't yet have anything to connect to, so it'll default to whatever signal it can find (most likely 4g).

You don't know anything about networking or physics. The amount of data you can send down a single optical fiber is orders of magnitude greater than what you can send over a satellite link, and has less latency than a satellite link. As our bandwidth requirements continuously increase, our demand for fiber grows. The only thing satellite internet is replacing is shitty last-mile DSL and other copper infrastructure. All of the central-office equipment needs fiber because of its bandwidth capabilities.

But these are all future theoretical applications right? Are any of these possible without spending huge amounts of money? My whole point is that current WFH applications work well enough. A company could spend tons of money to get an extra tiny bit of production but I’m not sure there’s evidence that it’s worth it. Making economical decisions doesn’t make someone a dinosaur lol. I work in tech btw so I’m not completely behind the times.

The Pentagon is attempting to set several stages towards war. They are inextricable from the military industrial complex and the machine demands more money for more breakthroughs.

Can you explain why you think that? Or does that extend beyond your ability?

A control room or security control operator is able to see hundreds of virtual screens monitoring equipment and sensors without the need of a single monitor. Screens are therefor mobile and operator can work in any environment.
People hundreds of miles apart can collaborate on the same task as if in the same room. Meetings can be had from anywhere. People can stand up and draw on a whiteboard, or manipulate a 3D model.
Instructors, teachers, even healthcare can be done remotely to some extent. Combined with advancements in Lidar, two or more people can exist inside a reproduction of the host's environment, allowing them to assist or consult in real world problems, such as structural failures, electrical or plumbing problems without needing to leave their house. They can in a way teleport from environment to environment all over the world, ending the need to physically travel somewhere to advise on a project.
Not all jobs can be done remotely - I'd wager less than 20% of jobs can be done this way. But that 20% is a 20% reduction in traffic on the road every morning, 20% reduction in transportation greenhouse gases from cars and planes, and the cost of real estate in previously over-congested areas of a city will go down as the demand for this space extends out into rural areas, where rural area property values will increase.

I watched Buzz Out Loud daily for years until they dropped basically all their podcasts. It was such a baffling move to me at the time. YouTube was growing so damn fast back then, and it would have been such an easy choice for them to start a family of channels that drove clicks back to their main site. Yet they not only failed to capitalize off a new platform, they basically shut down their podcasts right as viewership was exploding on the platform.
Then once they actually started taking their channel seriously, they produced some of the most bland, corporate content ever.

I guess what I'm struggling with here is the "sales of your profitable ICE cars implode"... I might be missing some legislation that's been passed recently, but why is this going to happen?

It matters because you don't even understand what the word "precondition" means. Clearly you have never worked as a professional in a professional setting.

It doesn't really matter what I do for a living. If you have a job where a precondition is that you show up to work, dressed in clothes, and showered. Then either do that, or don't agree to work there if you think that's unfair. Real simple.

It is remarkably simple. Sales of your profitable ICE cars implode while you are still unable to mass produce EVs for a profit. Something which only Telsa and BYD have managed so far.
Not everyone is going to successfully make the transition. There will be bankruptcies, government bailouts and or mergers along the way.

While I think the latest shift is going to hit CNET more I think that they were circling the drain long before anybody heard of chatGPT. Whereas tech knowledge I think a bit of a difference for those that grew up in the 90s or earlier was that you needed a bit of basic tech knowledge on some level to do even basic tasks. Today things have been dumbed down considerably.

What is it that you do for a living? It might make it easier for me to explain how this works to you if I knew where you're actually coming from.

I mean, showing up is a precondition for like 90% of jobs but go off on why youre special

They're literally not paying you to show up to work. Out of all the things they pay you for, that is the one thing they definitely don't.
Moreover, that's not how any of this works. Professional relationships between employer and professional are built around mutual respect. You have no idea how much damage this is doing to employers. They can never be respected again by any employee who works for them.
