  • Wi-Fi 7 speeds are almost as fast as Thunderbolt 3

    320 MHz-wide channels are not good news.  The biggest win in 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6e) is the fact that we get 14 non-overlapping 80 MHz channels capable of 1.2 Gbit/sec (for typical phones/laptops that support 2 spatial streams).  In 5 GHz, there were only 4 of those non-overlapping 80 MHz channels, creating huge interference problems in dense residential/commercial areas. With Wi-Fi 6e, everyone can finally have their gigabit.

    We simply don't have enough 6 GHz spectrum for people to be hogging 320 MHz with each Wi-Fi access point  It's rude.

  • iPhone 12 can act as 5GHz Wi-Fi hotspot, boon for 5G

    Yeah, this has literally nothing to do with 5G. Even tethering from a 3G HSPA connection is going to see major performance improvements from moving out of the noisy 2.4 GHz spectrum and getting a wider band.

  • Apple's Notes for Mac to support Evernote file imports in OS X 10.11.4

    Let's note that Apple has refused to offer any way to export your iCloud notes.  Unlike Evernote, they would prefer that your notes stay trapped in their proprietary database.

    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204055#note
    To copy notes, open the Notes app at iCloud.com. Copy the text of each note and paste it into a document on your computer, such as a Pages or TextEdit document. Save the document to your computer.
    To export your notes as PDF, open the Notes app in OS X Mountain Lion or later. Select the note, then click File > Export as PDF and choose a location.
