Netgear has launched Wi-Fi 6 enabled Tri-band Orbi RBK852 mesh router system in India. This is a slightly more affordable option as compared to Orbi RBK853 that was introduced in December last year. That’s because the number of satellite nodes has been reduced from two to one.  Consequentially, the coverage area reduces from 7500 sq. ft. to 5000 sq. ft. However, since this is a mesh system, users have the option to separately add extra 'satellites' or nodes to cover dead zones should the need arise in the future. The Orbi RBK852 can be easily set up using the Orbi app available for both Android and iOS. It also integrates support for both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.  Netgear Orbi RBK852 Wi-Fi system (AX6000): Price and Availability Netgear Orbi RBK852 mesh Wi-Fi system comes with two units - RBR850 Wi-Fi 6 router and RBS850 satellite. It can be purchased from Netgear e-store and other partner e-commerce websites for a price of Rs 61,999. As an introductory offer, it co

USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) has announced a new USB-C 240W Power Delivery standard that more than doubles the existing power capacity of standard USB ports. The existing USB PD maxes out at 100W, which is enough for most laptops and phones, but the new standard will be able to cater to more power-hungry machines like gaming laptops, printers, and large monitors.  USB-IF is calling the new standard (v2.1) as Extended Power Range (EPR) and you will understandably need new EPR labeled USB-C cables for your machine to be able to make use of the full 240W power.  “USB-IF will require the cables to bear specific icons so that end-users will be able to confirm visually that the cable supports up to 240W,” USB-IF said in the specification document as noted by CNET. The cables will need to support 5A and 50V to be compliant.  While the universal USB PD standard getting more capable is good news, the requirement of specific cables further complicates things for common consumers.

At the start of this year, nine Chinese companies including Xiaomi were put on the US Department of Defense blacklist for allegedly being controlled by the Chinese military. Well, one of those companies, Xiaomi, is now off the hook. This implies US citizens no longer have any restrictions on buying or holding stocks in the company.  The sanction was one of the decisions taken under the Donald Trump administration against China. The Joe Biden administration has admitted to lack of sufficient reasons to put Xiaomi on the list and has agreed to not challenge the ruling.  Xiaomi had filed a legal complaint challenging its designation as Communist Chinese Military Company (CCMC)  as “unlawful and unconstitutional”. It argued that its CCMC designation would do ‘irreparable harm’ to its business.  Shares of the company fell by over 20 percent since January when it was blacklisted. Its formal removal from the list is likely to turn the tides.  A court filing earlier in May revealed that t

Celebrity account hacks are getting dreadfully common, and the latest personality to take a hit is OnePlus co-founder, Carl Pei. Moving on from OnePlus, Carl Pei founded ‘Nothing’, a consumer tech company that will soon launch its first product, the Ear 1 TWS buds, in June next month.  Today, a fishy tweet posted from his account announced ‘Nothing’ venturing into cryptocurrency space with "Nothing Coin" that is supposedly "built on the ETH ERC-20 chain." Hackers impersonating Pei asked interested followers to participate by transferring their Ethereum Coins to a wallet address.  Pei has also confirmed to Engadget Senior Editor Richar Lei that the tweet was posted after his account was hacked. The tweet that has since been pulled down was likely injected through an IFTTT hack. Which is another reason why users need to be extra vigilant while granting IFTTT permission to third-party apps.  In fact, this isn’t the first request from Carl Pei’s Twitter handle for f
