Tech & InnovationD-Link G572 review: This SIM-ready 5G router is a valuable fallback for my weak home internet
Consumer-grade failover with SIM-ready 5G and Wi‑Fi 7 means resilience is creeping into the edge without IT in the loop. If your workforce is even partially remote, you should assume home networks can be dual-homed and design access, security, and support policies around that reality.

Premium consumer audio is consolidating into two ecosystems — Apple-first and platform-agnostic — and that split will dictate where third-party services, spatial formats, and AI features land.

There’s still a niche for hardware that optimizes high-intent text input—shortcuts plus a physical keyboard can beat generic slabs for certain workflows.
