Man 6G already here? Seems like 5G just came out not long ago. I feel like they could still improve 5G more, make it more efficient, more wide spread, actually hit those top speeds they keep advertising all the time. Feel like 5G is what 4G top speed should of been.

Thank you Ayaz!! Great job. What AI glasses that do on screen translation that you can see but no one else can are the first AI things I’ve seen that I’ve liked since GPS.

Running a busy household is basically project management, but can a digital calendar actually fix the chaos? Before you invest hundreds in a digital family calendar, there are a few tech realities you need to know. We dive into the big differences between proprietary apps and open Android systems, and why the “handheld” setup can even trip up tech-savvy homemakers.
