            I got the vaccine so now I have perfect cell reception! Always 5G everywhere. A week ago I lost 1 bar, so I think I should get a booster vaccination. Also, now I’m magnetic, I never lose my phone. Plus, suddenly I love my government so I’m not angry all the time. /s

      Tourists, probably. That’s what their 3G network is for, if I remember correctly.

        Ah yeah. With the current storage data on phones, while trips there usually are a week or so, 3G isn’t fast enough for them to spy on all the tourists’ data

        Tourists

        They have that? Why would you go there?

        I thought internet is mostly for officials and military in NK?

          For real. Even though my country has diplomatic ties with NK I would never in a million years step foot in there. I don’t think anyone should.
