I hadn't considered that. It's really disappointing. I haven't read Turtledove, but I would not have pegged a guy whose most famous novel features Robert E. Lee wielding an AK-47 as part of Wu's woke brigade.

Wow that is disappointing. I guess the Historical Fiction authors have to stick together though.

What a wild past few days of insanity bubbling forth.
I'm not going to comment on the gun thing beyond just how exceptional they are, and I fully expect them to claim they got PTSD from shooting it, at some point in the future.
And then doubling down with the donator letter about how the NRA and the fringe right are threatening to rape and kill him(probably the latter, not the former), the ride just never ends.
What will be in store for our intrepid hero next episode?

I can only presume she's talking about narrow band mode, which is a high latency, half duplex mode designed to replace either old fashioned dedicated long wave services like the Rugby time signal we have here in the UK, or things you'd currently use satellite radio for now like logistics tracking for trucks and vans.
Sure, broadband in the sticks. As long as you define broadband as less than 10Kbps and with >5 second latency. It's almost like there's some fundamental laws of physics at play here or something....

I subjected myself to this interview (53:21), and the Motorola guy (who appears to be on a marketing tour given the number of 5g articles he popped up in last month), is not at all specific in the range for the sub-6GHz mode, just generally that it would be good for "suburban" and "rural" customers. He does specifically say that the sub-6GHz mode does not support the same speeds (after poking around it appears the speed is comparable or slightly better than 4G LTE). The high-speed (~2Gb/s) millimeter wave mode has a range of about 300-600ft. But that's okay because they'll be installing one of these awesome antennas outside every hospital, school, and apartment building (approx every block).

It's a nice preview of what Congressmanthing Wu would be like. Any company with name recognition would just send a marketing guy and allow Wu to hold court, he would then lord this "technical insider information" over anyone who questions the necessity and ethics of surgically turning the homeless into bio-battery powered WiFi hotspots with antennas sticking out of their heads.

Any questions would be met with a shower of "MANSPLAINING!" "Do you know who I AAAAAM?" "I just had lunch with [insert random CEO here]!" "I grew up in Mis'sippi!" and John's usual bullshit.

Kind of shocking more tech companies aren't lining up to get Wu in Congress. With most politicians, you have to give them (or their district) millions of dollars. With Brianna, apparently all you need to do to secure his unwavering support is have a PR person talk to him for an hour.

Ironically, one of the most cogent and non-hysterical criticisms of Trump and his intelligence is that he appears to adopt the opinion of the last person he talked to on pretty much any subject, much as John does.

Better yet we should just give people individual planets so we wouldn't have to worry about polluting each other.
We need bold new leadership to interfere the living shit out of the free market.
John, are you backing down??? Tell this motherfucker all you know about restoring busted cars from your experience as an 11 year old black girl in Mississippi!

Stepping up the crazy on the GND I see. Now we're not just retrofitting every building in the country, but every gas-powered vehicle as well.

Waiting for someone to ask John how many power plants will need to be built to supply the additional electricity necessary for this shift to an all-electric nationwide fleet of cars. As well as what those plants will be powered by. Nukes are out. Coal is bad. Propane? Methane? The stinkditch emissions of a million troons?
Pretty sure in the GND worldview, electricity is just magically "green" and there's no point in quibbling about the problems of how it's produced.

"Oh, you don't want to get in a fight with me on this subject ... I know a lot about this, so don't start with me"
Wu furiously sausage-fingers "carb" into the wikipedia search bar and presses a suggested spelling that seems close enough: "Carburizing,[1] carburising (chiefly British English), or carburization is a heat treatment process in which iron or steel absorbs carbon" - Carbon absorption?? But it's about gas in the engine, wait... there used to be lead in gas, it was good for the engine, maybe they replaced it with carbon? Oh, that's why carbon-dioxide is such a problem now!

So therefore your solution is obviously to ban 3D printers, right?

I'm still waiting on the day someone famous that Wu can't ignore asks the most important question:
"Where is the proof of all these events, accomplishments, and jobs you've had, Wu?"

Wu should do an undercover exposé on how easy it is for a civilian to commission metal shops to mill the parts that converts semi-automatics into fully automatic rifles.

Wow, Wu really is on shit streak when it comes to Know It All tweets.
Anyone who says "we could switch from X to Y" and don't present you with multiyear (or even, multidecade) plan, that would include infrastructure building, legacy problems, "tech not yet there" problems, financial incentives, etc. is just playing the populist game.
Wu, don't you own the comicbook grrl mobile? Ain't that substandard in terms of being eco-friendly? Truly, the Bible was right,

And mass shooters all have CNC milling machines, John, you ignorant slut.
And they won't recognize what it's for because they're somehow smart enough to run a metal shop but too dumb to recognize a part they could get sent away for 10 years for manufacturing.
