A good fitness watch marred by bad connectivity

Huami Amazfit Bip S The Amazfit Bip S is a good fitness tracker if you're looking for reliable stats and accurate GPS under $100. However, its biggest drawback is spotty connectivity with the Amazfit app — which could be a firmware issue — but makes it difficult to recommend.

You might even have seen a few in the comments here. “5G will give you cancer,” “mmWave technology leads to brain tumors,” and “smartphones are microwaving our bodies,” or so the stories go. It’s all hogwash. Many of the persistent myths about cell tower radiation still hang over the industry from as far back as the 2G days.

New York passes first US electronics right-to-repair law by a wide margin

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR New York has passed the Digital Fair Repair Act. The bill is the first in the US to require electronics manufacturers to support right-to-repair. Right-to-repair advocates scored a major victory, with New York passing the first such law in the US by an overwhelming majority. Right-to-repair has become a growing concern across many industries, but especially the electronics industry. As phones, computers, and tablets have become more complex, they have become increasingly difficult for consumers to repair on their own.
