they’re putting a lot of effort into gaming on Linux
family sharing

I don’t like any of them. But from what I see, Android is the first one to make that feature in a way that it’s compatible with non-Android devices. That’s what the U in USB was meant for. The Apple version probably only works with other Apple devices, I guess.

Yes and no. It’s both electromagnetic waves but the frequencies are very very far apart. So far, the techniques we use to emit and receive them are fundamentally different. Their propagation and transmission characteristics are also very different.
Also, the data transmission rate (in theory) only depends on the bandwidth of the transmission channel, not the absolute frequency. But there’s more “room” for large bands at higher frequencies, of course.
I’m okay with steam because:
