    Life, James Hein, Published on 22/06/2022

    » It looks like the Apple-specific charging cable may be a thing of the past with the European Union demanding that all smartphone makers use a universal USB-C port for wired charging by 2024. The same rule will be applied to many other electronic devices like tablets, cameras, headphones, handheld video game consoles and e-readers.

    Next-gen Wi-Fi technologies on the way

    » The fixed line versus Wi-Fi debate continues to be a popular one. And with technologies like Wi-Gig and Wi-Fi 6 in the pipeline, the debate will only intensify.

Wi-Fi numbers 1-3 represent even older, now mostly unused versions.
