Google Enncrypted Chats

It looks like Google is finally encrypting their group chats even though it's in BETA is still better than nothing. So hang in there and wait until they resolve all the bugs.

SpaceX Round 2

It seems that the second generation of Starlink Satellites are ready to go and we are still waiting for the emerging technology to take off and change the world.

It's still going to be a waiting game for SpaceX but I must admit they are doing exactly what needs to be done to change worldwide broadband.

Snowden granted Russian Citizenship

It looks like Russia still bitter with the United States on war with Ukraine decided to embarass them by offerring Edward Snowden Russian citizenship. 

It's sort of an indirect slap on their face and now he can no longer be extradited to the United States because of his loyalty to Russia.

I guess the battles of these two giants will still continue going forward.

Epson Ecotank Et-2400

This printer has been on my radar for some time and I must admit you just cannot resist the refillable ink tanks. Now with ink prices going up, it's a great buy and a printer that still is living up to its name. 
If you have the extra money, this is the printer that I would put on my list, I just keep on hearing great things about this printer year after year.

HP new Software install

Now I was an HP lover for many years until recently when HP decided to change the way they install software on their new printers. Now you are forced to use their HP smart application using the Microsoft store. 
The only problem I have with this is that you are forced to create an HP account to get access to your printer and that some organizations block access to the Microsoft store making installation a difficult process. Even if you try to install the software manually, HP does not make it easy to install the printer without the HP Smart application. So good luck with installing that software if you do not have access to the Microsoft store. And the lack of being able to add your printer to the WiFi is limited, making this a nightmare for network administrators.

North America EV Charging Standard

It looks like the EV charger is standing out because of the simplicity of having no moving parts, half of the size and it's twice as powerful.

Hopefully, it gets adopted but my question is since they adopted globally the c jack charger for portable phones, why shouldn't they follow the same guidelines.
