Netgear’s new Wi-Fi 7 Orbi mesh system is a solid bump with plenty of ports

Netgear’s new Wi-Fi 7 Orbi mesh system is a solid bump with plenty of ports

Published by Webster

Netgear just announced the Orbi 870, a new Wi-Fi 7 mesh system that joins its now-three-tier lineup of Wi-Fi 7 mesh routers. It’s pricey like the others, but at $1,299.99 for a three-pack, it’s a full thousand dollars cheaper than the next kit up, the quad-band Orbi 970. Netgear says a three-pack of Orbi 870s can cover up to 9,000 square feet with Wi-Fi, though, as with all routers, that number depends heavily on both physical and wireless interference in your home as well as where you put the routers. The Orbi 870 supports 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands. You can connect to two of those bands simultaneously using Multi-Link Operation (MLO) with a Wi-Fi 7 device, which could mean faster downloads, less latency, and a more stable connection. The Orbi 870 also supports 320MHz channel bandwidth, which will have the most obvious benefits if you like watching download progress bars as much as I do (probably an unhealthy amount). But again, you’ll need Wi-Fi 7 on your phone or laptop to take advantage of …

A truck full of batteries has been burning for almost a full day, shutting down ports in LA

Published by Webster

A truck full of lithium-ion batteries is burning in Los Angeles, shutting down ports and a bridge. It’s not clear what the batteries were for — but LA’s Vincent Thomas Bridge, leading to the Port of Los Angeles and the next-door Port of Long Beach, has been shut down for at least 15 hours now while local firefighters let the truck burn. State Route 47 was also closed in both directions as of a couple of hours ago. Amazingly, a local towing company caught the explosion on camera from a nearby drone: Both the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach have shut down a number of terminals while the fire continues to burn. As of 12:10PM PT on Friday, the truck was still on fire, and both the ports and bridge were still closed, Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) spokesperson Ren Medina told The Verge. Firefighters are nearby and are actively monitoring the situation; as of 10PM PT on Thursday, the fire was expected to last “at least another 24-48 hours.” …

App Store game emulators: all the news around iOS retro console ports

Published by Webster

The best part about Delta Emulator: it’s for your TV, too. Webster already wrote about this, but I’m seriously wowed at how easy it was to turn an iPhone into a retro console for my TV. Once you add a gamepad, everything but joystick-sensitive games (sorry, GoldenEye fans) feels playable! Delta dev Riley Testut tells me he’s “definitely open” to adding joystick sensitivity adjustment. For now, it uses Apple’s default calibrations. Source link

Port control is crucial to national security

Published by Webster

Historically, ports have played a crucial role in trade, development, food, transportation of armies, and blocking supplies. Today, they not only facilitate trade but are also key instruments in the geo-strategic security architecture and supply-chain resilience.

Satechi’s new charger delivers 200 watts of power to six ports

Published by Webster

At CES 2023, Satechi announced what it calls its most powerful charger yet: a new GaN charging hub capable of delivering 200 watts of power. Basically, it can charge a lot of stuff at once and do it at high speeds, too. The GaN charger comes with six USB-C PD ports, so you can charge up to six devices at the same time. Weighing a little over a pound and measuring about 4.1 x 4.1 x 1.4 inches, it’s also small enough that you could fit into your backpack and pull it out while on the go. Unlike its predecessor — a 165-watt charger launched last year at CES — this new model also comes with two USB-C PD 3.1-compatible ports, which are capable of delivering more power than their predecessor. That’s in addition to four USB-C PD 3.0 ports, as well as support for QC 4.0, PPS, and a number of other protocols.
