KPP seems to have a reflector for the 450b mid gain. I'd be interested to see what the performance is like on that. No spec numbers, no more info than that facebook post. I can't even find it on the website. https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fkpperforma

In another thread, Mark Radabaugh posted: "For your next product.. Corrective optics for 450B high gain CPE!" Mark, I'm not sure if you were serious, I suspect yes. I know it's frustrating that the antenna gain is lower than the old reflector dish, Cambium dropped the number on the sp

With the advances in AI, why is it necessary to play against people? Seems like you could play a console game against an AI opponent with skill level of your choosing, and not even need the Internet. Except they are making all the virtual assistant AI stuff like Alexa cloud based also. Everyone

Money. The answer is always money.   Gaming is a 138 billion dollar market. Over half of that is mobile gaming. The majority of that in turn is casual gaming, particularly free to play games.   All this game streaming tech is an attempt to get at those casual gamers that won't build gaming PCs

Yeah, everything is a subscription now. Because why settle for a one-time sale when you can get a perpetual revenue stream. I guess they want to capture the mobile device market. Plus make games more like videos, where you can just rent titles rather than make the decision to buy one.

Well, I imagine, the longterm goal is that instead of needing to convince somebody to buy a $1000 PC, or even a $400 game console and $60 for every game, you can sell them a $50 box, that they might already have, and charge them a subscription fee. On Wed, Mar 27, 2019 at 9:38 AM Adam Moffett wro

I think the end game is to tap into that market of users that have generic intel/amd laptops on the lower end. This is a market that is harder to touch for these companies, because well they don't spend much on hardware, or don't have much to spend on hardware but still want to game. They seem
