Wifi is about to get an upgrade?
The FCC has voted to open up the 6 GHz spectrum to Wifi. It's all very technical, but basically there will be less interference and faster speeds. If you're considering buying a new router, it may pay to wait, with Wifi 6E routers expected to launch by the end of the year.
Usually routers are equipped with both 2.5 GHz and 5GHz signal. Some routers will automatically bounce between the two of them to get you the best signal, but others have two wifi networks and you need to choose. Use 2.5GHz for a strong signal over a greater range, but lower speeds. Use 5 GHz for faster speeds, but poorer range.
Hate taking notes in meetings? There's an App for that..
Now we're all on Zoom, there are now 300 million monthly active users, up from 10 million at the end of last year, you can save yourself a job and maybe some memory. 
There is an app called Otter AI which now lets you can connect to the meeting and it's basically an automated notetaker. The free version let's you transcribe cloud recordings, but the paid version will transcribe the meeting in real time.
Want to import audio from a lecture, or an interview? You can do that too. Wanted to remember when someone said something? You can search for it! 
With Coronavirus, Facebook has a new way to react to posts
It's hard choosing what emoji to respond with to a post - sometimes a 'like' could be taken the wrong way especially when there is is a global pandemic and people are facing hardship. Facebook is rolling out a new 'cares' emoji reaction option globally next week. It's a gender neutral emoji hugging a heart. Facebook Messenger will get a new beating heart emoji soon too.
