Intel Documentation: Wi-Fi 7 Compatibility Restricted to Windows 11

Windows 11, introduced in late 2021, hasn't seen the swift adoption among Windows 10 users that previous upgrades enjoyed.

However, a recent revelation from Intel appears to indicate that the forthcoming Wi-Fi 7 standard will exclusively support Windows 11. This Intel document came to light through a familiar Twitter account recognized for leaks and advanced hardware information sharing. The document explicitly states that Wi-Fi 7 will be compatible solely with Windows 11, ChromeOS, and Linux. The rationale provided is that Microsoft will...

Scientists Suggest Orcas Accused of Boat Attacks Might Be Embracing a Trend

Orcas Accused of Ramming Boats Likely Engaging in Playful Behavior, Scientists Say Experts caution against the mischaracterization of orcas that have been observed colliding with boats, asserting that the animals are not intentionally "attacking" vessels but are likely engaging in playful activities. The prevalence of this misleading narrative poses a threat of retaliation from humans against these creatures. The incidents involving Iberian orcas initiating collisions with boats along the Spanish and Portuguese coast since July 2020 have prompted concerns. Approximately 11 juveniles and four adult females are believed to be involved in these interactions. Some boats display tooth marks, while others bear evidence of being struck by the head or body of a whale multiple times, leading ...
