Welcome to the new year. How are these resolutions progressing? (Do not worry, We can help.)
Contrary to my expectations, CES 2022 is still taking place. However, the organizers have announced that the tech show will take place abbreviate by a day as COVID-19 cases continue to rise. It also started kind of early, with some big announcements already from Samsung, inclusive Build NFTs into your televisions, and an improved eco TV remote control that uses your WiFi waves to generate energy.
Expect hardware announcements for a week, even if the chances of playing with and evaluating these new devices without face-to-face presence are somewhat limited.

But will it appeal to anyone beyond PC gaming fanatics?
The latest concept from Alienware can be reduced to a game server running on your home network. It is conceivable that you have two games running on your television at the same time, as Engadget saw at a recent demo in NYC. Since all rendering and network processing takes place in your home, Nyx also offers lower latency than traditional cloud gaming.
A hand warmer setting can help you get well.

To soothe their tired gloves, the Japanese company Bauhutte has developed a handheld massager for gamers. The device works with both hands and has a 15-layer airbag for each finger and a Shiatsu plate for the palm. There are two main options: a Shiatsu mode for the whole hand and one that focuses on stretching the fingers.
You may also find it easier to find your case.
Now that the third generation AirPods offer some of the same features as the AirPods Pro, how will Apple’s high-end wireless earbuds stand out? Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims Apple will launch its second generation Pro earbuds with support for Apple Lossless (ALAC) audio this fall. Kuo expects the updated headphones to feature a “new form factor design” and that the new buds will supposedly include a charging case that can make sounds like AirTags to be found behind your couch pillows.
The 2022 Eco Remote has a white option that matches Samsung’s lifestyle TVs.
Samsung
Samsung has revamped the solar charging remote that it unveiled at last year’s CES. Samsung says the latest Eco Remote not only uses light to charge the battery, but it can also convert the radio waves from routers into energy to stay fully charged. There is also a solar panel on the back of the remote control, which is also made from recycled materials.
Due to the repeated spread of COVID-19 misinformation.
Twitter has suspended the personal account of Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene after a fifth “strike” over spreading COVID-19 misinformation. A fifth strike means it’s a permanent ban.
Last year in July she claimed COVID-19 was not dangerous unless you were over 65 or obese, and in August she said vaccines against the Delta variant of the new coronavirus “fail”. Both statements were untrue. The posts each resulted in a 12-hour and a one-week ban. Your official account is still active at the time of writing as it doesn’t violate the rules of Twitter. In addition, she may have to wait for TRUTH Social is finally starting.
