@gadgetry we shouldn’t have 5G enabled all the time

I have an automation on my phone that

• disables cell data when I leave home, on the assumption that while I am on the move, data is irrelevant or distracting, and possibly dangerous
• disables it again when I arrive home (because WiFi)

When you need data, enable the antenna, do your thing and disable it again

We’d still have hubs where this kind of coverage is useful, for example train/bus stations, but on the whole, this would mean much less energy expended for our not-so-important “needs”
