In this week’s Digital Bytes, we explore tech that charges, cooks, and communicates:
-
iPhone 16 Wireless Charging: Marty clears up confusion around the iPhone 16e’s charging options. While it doesn’t include MagSafe, it does support wireless charging (just at slower speeds). Plus, he shares how a MagSafe-compatible case can expand your accessory options—though not your charging speed.
-
Smart Kitchen Real Talk: Chris shares a personal story about smart pressure cookers, app shutdowns, and why you shouldn’t depend too heavily on voice assistant integrations. She offers practical workarounds using AIRA, Be My Eyes, Be My AI, and tactile labels to keep cooking smart—even when your apps ghost you.
-
Accessible Amateur Radio: Michael gives a hands-on (and ears-on) overview of the Kenwood TH-D74A handheld radio. Learn how this device provides spoken feedback, what the keypad layout is like, and how to scan frequencies and memories without needing a screen.
