You still can request a refund or report a quality issue, but now you also can report a scam or fraud. That’s fine, but what difference will it make? And why has it taken so long?...

Charging Electronics Via Radio Waves May Be Possible Eventually

Not to be confused with inductive/wireless charging, which requires a charging pad or dock, RF charging utilizes an embedded antenna to convert low-level radio waves into energy. Samsung is already using it with the remotes for its new 2022 Smart TVs, though they can also charge via solar energy or USB-C. In theory, this creates a scenario where the remote will never truly run out of power. But why stop at remotes?...

As scary as that sounds, Apple sometimes added a bit of humor to the chimes of death, as it did with the old Performa series of Macs, which used a car crash sound....
