Kollade in hos min nuvarande operatör Comviq och såg att de nu erbjuder abonnemang med 5G. Fast endast på de två dyrare abonnemangen. Inte på det jag har förstås. Nu vet jag inte om det gör så mycket för täckningen ser inte ut att vara den bästa. Det ser verkligen ut som att utbyggnaden av 5G går väldigt långsamt. Så här har det sett ut länge nu. Endast några få ställen som erbjuder 5G. Gissar att man nog inte behöver uppgradera sitt abonnemang ännu. Åtminstone inte förrän det finns täckning på fler ställen än vad kartan visar. Har du ett abonnemang med 5G och har du testat det på en plats som har täckning? Hur upplever du hastigheten? Är det…

Transandinomys
The Wikipedia article of the day for September 27, 2021 is Transandinomys. Transandinomys is a genus of rodents in the tribe Oryzomyini of the family Cricetidae—a grouping of medium-sized, soft-furred rice rats. It includes two species—T. bolivaris and T. talamancae—found in forests from Honduras in Central America to southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Venezuela in South America. The upperparts—brownish in T. bolivaris and reddish in T. talamancae—are much darker than the whitish underparts. Both species are characterized by very long vibrissae (whiskers), but those of T. bolivaris are particularly long. In addition, several other morphological differences distinguish the two, including wider first upper molars in T. bolivaris. Both species live on the ground, are active during the night, eat both plant and animal matter, and construct nests…
British nuclear tests at Maralinga
The Wikipedia article of the day for September 26, 2021 is British nuclear tests at Maralinga. British nuclear tests were conducted at Maralinga in the Woomera Prohibited Area in South Australia between 1956 and 1963. A total of seven major nuclear tests took place at Maralinga, with explosive yields ranging from approximately 1 to 27 kilotonnes of TNT (4 to 110 terajoules). Two major test series were conducted: Operation Buffalo (final test pictured) in 1956 and Operation Antler the following year. One bomb used cobalt pellets as a tracer for determining yield, resulting in rumours that Britain was developing a cobalt bomb. The site was also used for trials of neutron initiators and tests on the compression of nuclear weapon…
Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots
The Wikipedia article of the day for September 25, 2021 is Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots. Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots is an 1832 book by Edward Lear containing 42 hand-coloured lithographs (example pictured). Lear started painting parrots for the book in 1830 when he was 18 years old, and to get material for his book he studied live birds at the London Zoo and in private collections. Although the book was a financial failure, Lear’s paintings of parrots established his reputation as one of the best natural history artists of his time. It found him work with leading contemporary naturalists, and the young Queen Victoria engaged him to help her with her painting…
