The new modem is interesting. How much power around the world is being wasted because Qualcomm's code sucks? Apparently gigawatts per day.

You'd give an AUD$1000 phone to a kid?
My cell phone has a 3.7v, 2018 mAh battery, for a total of 7.4 watt-hours.
That's enough power to drive a Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus a distance of... 55 meters.
Even if Qualcomm's code was solely responsible for completely draining my phone's battery every single day, it would still not be very much power.
