會腐蝕的鋁製 Apple Watch

洪士灝

一個用不到一年的手錶，竟然會腐蝕，而且不是個案，維修報價幾乎等於買全新的價錢，這不是我所認同的Apple的形象，我鼓勵有此問題的朋友們集結起來控訴Apple。

Facebook is creating an open-source cellular system

...The company noted that expanding cellular access throughout the world has hit some problems, just as the importance of internet access has grown considerably. Some of these challenges are related to infrastructure: the equipment and its installation can be expensive - prohibitively so in rural areas - which in turn limits access.

Facebook describes this device as a "software-defined wireless access platform" that can support several different types of wireless networks, ranging from 2g through LTE, while also providing WiFi and voice calls. The box contains two subsystems: General-baseband computing and Radio with integrated front-end, and is designed to be installed in a variety of harsh conditions. The box is run by an open sourced operating system that can be run from a remote location.

While Facebook has been pushing for expanded access across the globe, it hasn't done so without considerable controversy. Earlier this year, India banned the company from expanding their Free Basics program into the country, while Egypt followed suit in April. It's yet to be seen how this system will be received across the world.

Facebook has been testing the system in their headquarters, and they’re expecting to release the system later this summer.

It's designed to drive down the price of communications infrastructure.
