What the hell are you smoking?

The 3.5 mm earphone jack is far older than 1979. It was popularized by transistor radios in the 1950s. But it was mono not stereo. When they designed stereo airplane audio there wasn’t a 3.5 mm stereo standard yet. So they simply used two mono 3.5 mm earphone jacks for stereo headsets. Not much different than what they did with the air driven airplane headsets.

Marsquake, coming soon to a candy section near you!

Let’s just say I didn’t expect this level of ignorance in a technology sub. Not intentional.

Are you usually this challenged by reading comprehension?

So nice of you to tell me my job.

Yes, similar. Of course a bit more challenging when you are traveling at 550 MPH vs 25 MPH.

To be clear, a pico cell is simply a cell site with limited range. It doesn’t need to connect to a satellite. Most connect via fiber, like most cell sites.

You do realize they do not connect to terrestrial cell towers, right? Ergo, they are not repeaters. They connect to satellites (as some remote cell towers do). It doesn’t need to be called anything other than what it is: pico cell.

It’s not a “repeater” by any stretch of the imagination.

OMG, I never knew this even existed and yet I knew I instantly wanted to inhale it. Yeah, I’ve had too many dry lasagnas in my life.
