BlackBerry phones could be gone for good as last major firm stops making them
I don’t think Apple killed Blackberry, Android did with their cheap smartphones.
Apple took the high end, and Samsung took the middle, and the army of cheap Android manufacturers that were at best financially break even took the rest.Without the “free” Android OS Blackberry would have had their niche... Unfortunately, App developers need volume so focusing on the Google Play Store was inevitable. Blackberry without apps became irrelevant.

Review: The BenQ ScreenBar saves space while brightening up your desk
It’s kind of an odd product. It’s a desk lamp that attaches to the monitor...

EU lawmakers snub Apple's pleas, overwhelmingly vote to push for charging cable standard
As long as Apple is involved in creating the standard I don’t see a problem. There also has to be a timeframe before the requirement of a standard comes into effect.
The new standard can’t just be USBc because it’s inferior to Lightning.
They’ll take 5-10 years to come up with USBd and by that time it will be irrelevant, because most mobile devices will be wireless.
The bigger problem will be laptop charging. Will PCs (workstations) share the same cable? That’s a lot of power going through them... I wonder how long cables will last.
Lamps, clocks, etc. Are we going to have a global standard wall jack?
Seems like the EU is overreaching... even if the idea has merit.

(Note: Apple’s spell check result lip-sinking vs Google lip-syncing)
