China Unicom issued an announcement to remove 2G/3G networks
According to the latest reports from domestic media, China Unicom recently issued an announcement to Beijing users that from January 1, 2024, new mobile service customers will turn on the 4G/5G network function by default.
And the new SIM card will not support 2G / 3G network, if the mobile terminal does not support 4G / 5G network function, it will not be able to use the communication function normally.
This news immediately aroused a large number of heated discussions among netizens, and the focus of the debate was: What should I do if I have an old mobile phone but want to enter the Unicom network? Beijing Unicom's reply was: It is recommended to replace the terminal equipment and turn on the VoLTE function before entering the network.
Unicom's move is undoubtedly in response to the previous call of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to "accelerate the withdrawal of 2G/3G networks", and some media speculated that this time it was only the first pilot in Beijing, and more operators and regions will follow up this plan.

Microsoft has announced a new AI key for the Windows keyboard
Recently, Microsoft announced that the Windows keyboard will usher in the most significant change in 30 years, and all laptops with Windows pre-installed will have a dedicated AI Copilot key.
Judging by Microsoft's official demo, the dedicated AI Copilot key sits between the Alt key and the left arrow button. Seems to replace the rarely used right CTRL key.
According to WC, after the decision was announced, it was boycotted by many netizens. Many people believe that Microsoft has "imposed" artificial intelligence on users, and for users who don't plan to use AI (or can't use it), this button is a chicken rib.
It is reported that the first PC devices with AI Copilot keys will be unveiled at CES 2024 next week and will be available at the end of February, including the upcoming Surface devices.
Microsoft's executive vice president said: "The introduction of the Copilot key marks the first major change to the Windows PC keyboard in nearly three decades.
