  Unfortunately, looks like the breakthrough is silicon that can credibly work with those frequencies at all with a reasonable power budget, by simplifying and reducing power draw. Maybe it could somehow reduce energy usage of wifi, but they seemed to be all in on being over 100ghz... So the tech won't be increasing the throughput of anything more practical.

  It pretty much would be line of sight only. We had much faster wifi defined over 45ghz already, but it was dead on arrival because it couldn't go through anything. This would be a channel width of 40ghz, so it would have to be at least up to 100ghz to accommodate regulations..

  Lenovo/Moto is weird about that... The android phones and android tablets have next to nothing to do with each other. I do have a couple of their tablets and like them well enough, but you might as well consider them an entirely different vendor versus the Moto phone part of the business.

  Alternative motivation may be viable and in fact drive better results when feasible. You find the right person with the right passion who *wants* to do the job. Problem is not every sort of job can pull that off. You aren't going to find enough sewage treatment enthusiasts to handle that demand. You aren't going to have enough line men to keep the grid going reliably and safely.

  Problem being the jobs that don't inspire passion, curiosity, and purpose, but we still need them to get done.

  Now let's discuss all the people eager to volunteer to work sewage treatment plants. The proportion of people with more innate motivation versus need for a job to be done varies wildly between jobs. But when someone approaches work with innate motivation, amazingly better stuff happens compared to people in it just for the paycheck.

  refuse to work on Toyotas. Nah, the analogy that would be closer would be if the shop said you must use some overpriced but notoriously fragile tools and you’ll be on the hook for any tool that breaks and any delay you incur will be your fault while they go buy a new tool. Plus the tools tend to have sharp edges on the handles for some reason and are just painful to use. Now if the job is “you need to administrate the group policy of the company systems”, then “I refuse to run Windows” is...

  I think the missing part in that is the "Miata"-ness. A fun little car with a bit of oomph to it and being ok with short range for the sake of a more fun/light drive. That has the light and affordable down, but doesn't really approach the 'fun' part of the miata appeal.
