T-Mobile US 2G "changing" in less than a day

T-Mobile USA's 2G network is slated to "change" in less than a day, according to this post. YouTube channel Tech Inside currently has a live stream showing the ill-fated 2G network's current statistics on an Android and BlackBerry device.

It'll be a sad day for those in the US who see their devices from 2G's heyday unable to communicate when the plug is pulled. Though I guess it is nice T-Mobile US has kept it up as long as it did, in comparison to other carriers.

This sound is most associated with GSM/2G phones. Here's a clip for those that don't know this sound.

And a brief explanation

You can also search YouTube for the sounds later cell phones make its all pretty interesting.

All I want is to be able to make phone calls, send messages and read my emails and maybe if I'm particularly lucky listen to some music. And I would like to do this on a device with a headphone jack that isn't the size of a small country. Apparently these are insane wishes. And now there's AI...

I don't really want a flip phone. It does not give me what I need, but maybe it would give me less that I hate since smart phones also do not give me what I need anymore

Don't let anybody convince you that 1080p is "low resolution" for a video file.

It's a scheme created by Big Screen in an effort to sell you more pixels!

Invention of 2G -> 3G -> 4G -> 5G -> 6G -> Fall of Atlantis -> network decays into 2G -> Founding of Jericho -> 3G -> Dynastic Egypt -> 4G -> Invasion of Sea Peoples -> network decays into 1G -> a Hellene invents 2G but displays it as a novelty device -> Fall of Rome -> 2G is invented in the ottoman empire but only used to spin gyro meat ->

Never. Still rocking a dumbphone. Can't even install any apps on here.

It does have a web browser, surprisingly, but given the screen is like 3x5cm (yes, centimetres, not inches), who the hell would even want to try getting online with it?

Something that's haunting my brain is the thought that--assuming MePhone and 3GS's emotional processors work close enough to human brains for this to work the same way--it will probably take them YEARS to even BEGIN to fully process their trauma.

I'm not sure if this is true of everyone, but I know that generally, your brain doesn't start fully processing things like trauma or grief until it feels safe to do so. (It's why you might be fine at a funeral, but then when you step into your bedroom you suddenly burst into tears. Or in terms of trauma, it's why abuse survivors have a risk of going BACK to their abusers because once they get away from them and get someplace safe, they suddenly start feeling WORSE, because their brain is finally unpacking everything.)

MePhone and 3GS? Yeah they got away from Cobs. But now they're left in a weird, uncertain position. MePhone wants to give the contestants space so he probably won't hang around the island. But where do they go from there? Meeple HQ? Maybe at first, but they're sure not going to feel SAFE there.

They'll probably wind up traveling someplace else they've never been before. Maybe they'll travel to several places before they find a more permanent home, or maybe they'll just become comfortable with a life of travel. Either way, it's probably going to be a while before they have a home, or at least a place they truly feel safe.

And THEN it hits them. Their processors have decided it's safe to do so, and begin to unpack their trauma, and it SUCKS. Just when they felt they were doing better, they suddenly feel worse than they have in YEARS. Worse than when Cobs shut 3GS in the closet. Worse than when MePhone lost everything and Cobs went all-out physically attacking him. (MePhone especially is going to have it rough because he had NO TIME to fully take in how bad everything was as it was happening. 3GS ironically might fare slightly better because he at least had time to think through things in that closet, awful as that was.) Hopefully at this point they'll have built up a support network of some sort so they can have SOMEONE to help them, but man, they're in for a rough time.

But that's how it goes. Things get worse before they get better, and hopefully things really will start getting better for these two.
