It's insane to me that someone got paid to write this article. - No mention of the benefits of Wi-Fi 7 - No explanation of why AI headlines overshadowed Wi-Fi 7.. one is taking steps for changing what "work" looks like for Humanity while the other is..? - Bunch of links in the small article pointing to articles which are either promoted or have affiliate links I guess that last bullet explains it.

It does talk about "Multi-Link Operation".

Unless it's changed in the last 5 minutes, the second paragraph seems to have an explanation: > One of the biggest benefits of Wi-Fi 7 is that it allows for one device to connect to your router on multiple bands — a feature called Multi-Link Operation — which gives your laptop options when it comes to where to funnel its packets. That means that when your 5GHz band is at capacity, it’ll just send the data down the 6GHz pipe, and vice versa. The result should be lower latency when you’re on a busy network, which is critical when you’re not able to wire up with ethernet.

  It needs a supported device, which is not that common.

Read the comment before reading the article...but it wasn't that bad. It's not a technical deep dive but more a short commentary post as a heads-up that it's available now even if not everyone is talking about. It also lists the biggest benefit for gamers (It's posted in the "gaming" section of Verge) in the second paragraph. You are exaggerating a bit.

  I disagree. This reads like a hastily-written article. Take these quotes from just one paragraph: "now is a fine time to start looking at Wi-Fi 7 routers." "There weren’t a lot announced at the show.... " "You will probably want to be cautious about pulling the trigger, though." "The choices are still a little slim and mostly still expensive." This basically contradicts the title as well as the first line of the paragraph. How is that supposed to be useful for me? If instead, the article were something along the lines of "Wi-Fi 7 just came out, but don't buy yet", then that might be different. The author is trying to put a happy tone on a negative article. Whether that's the editors or the write, I don't know, but the output is a waste of time for people who read the headline thinking wi-fi 7 has taken off.

To be fair it's CES coverage.

The Verge is a "corporate messaging" website. Interview with X CEO (Comments disabled) Their transportation editor Andrew J. Hawkins: ``` Waymo’s driverless cars are finally ready for the highway VW’s software division and Bosch are testing robot parking and EV charging Hyundai says hydrogen will play a ‘prominent role’ in going carbon neutral Kia’s ‘Platform Beyond Vehicles’ is a family of modular electric minivans for businesses Lamborghini will measure your heart rate as you burn rubber around the track Meet the new Tesla Autopilot, same as the old Tesla Autopilot. Tesla is recalling another 1.6 million vehicles in China. Tesla’s Autopilot fix ‘doesn’t go far enough. ``` I wonder which companies buy advertising on The Verge? It's crazy their anti-tesla bias.
