Comrade Birb@lemmygrad.mltoTechnology@lemmygrad.ml•Huawei launches Nearlink, a better than Bluetooth competitor
2·
1 year agoBluetooth is very widespread but neither free to use nor an open standard. I can’t find any real technical info on this new technology or any references to it being any more open than Bluetooth. So far this seems like another closed, proprietary technology by Huawei and “industry partners” so I honestly don’t really care about it. This seems more like a move by Huawei to get away from having to pay licensing fees for Bluetooth without any benefits for users or the tech community as a whole.
I hope they have a good plan for the resulting high-level nuclear waste. Knowing China, they probably have, but reporting on that is unfortunately very minimal.
