hey you got an SDS, bro

@kiwa yeah, the pre-Freon Motorola TETRA radios share a ton of lineage with their 00s consumer mobiles. Some even share the same DSP chips and components. This was all before the Motorola/Motorola Solutions split.

@kiwa it's always funny seeing it in mid-00s films lol. The icons always look so familiar in the menus too.

That’s the 5G modem installed. I need to take the laptop upstairs and check what the signal is like but it works! Temporary antenna arrangement for now.

Your regular reminder to set a SIM PIN if you still have a removable SIM.

@uvok that depends on a lot of things. In this day and age with VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling it shouldn’t be. In lots of (most?) places 5G isn’t proper standalone 5G and actually uses the LTE packet core anyway (5G-NSA) so “5G Only” is a tough ask.

Maybe your phone couldn’t find a suitable cell to register on given the restriction of 5G only and that’s why you couldn’t make any calls?

Good tip, metal polish works pretty well on some types of plastic for removing deep scratches. Always test on a small/unwanted area first.
