Samsung won't bundle chargers with its phones next year
If you have been following the events surrounding Apple phones in recent days, you may have already noticed that Apple will most likely not include headphones or a charging adapter with its iPhones from this year. Together with the iPhone, you only get the charging cable and the manual. On the one hand, this is a great environmental step, but on the other hand, most likely all apple fans expect a price reduction - which will probably not happen in the end, and on the contrary, Apple should make its phones more expensive by a few tens of dollars. Samsung, which has taken a similar step several times in the past, decided to follow the same path. Just remember how Apple removed the 7mm headphone jack with the iPhone 3,5. At first, everyone laughed and users couldn't imagine life without a headphone jack, but soon Samsung, along with other mobile device manufacturers, followed suit. Today, you would look in vain for a headphone jack on the body of the latest smartphones. It will be almost 100% the same in the case of the aforementioned packaging, and in a few months (maximum years) practically no one will be packing a charging adapter and headphones with their devices. We discussed this topic more in one of the previous articles, which you can access by clicking on this link. What is your opinion on removing adapters and headphones from smartphone packaging? Let us know in the comments.

If you are a movie and series enthusiast, you most likely subscribe to Netflix. It is the largest streaming service in the world that brings countless movies, series, shows and more to its subscribers. Nowadays, Netflix is available just about everywhere - you'll find it pre-installed on many smart TVs, you can also download it to your iPhone or iPad, and last but not least, you can go to the Netflix web interface on any computer to watch shows look too. If you are one of the users who watch Netflix in the last mentioned way, i.e. from the web interface, you will definitely be pleased to know that Netflix is planning to change the design of this web interface. The first screenshots of the new design appeared on the Facebook group Netflix CZ + SK fans, you can view them in the gallery I have attached below.

nVidia vs Intel - who is more valuable?
nVidia, Intel and AMD - a vicious triangle in which each of the three companies is fighting for the crown. It could be said that in the current situation AMD wears the crown. In recent years, it has made incredible technological progress, both in the field of processors and in the field of graphics cards. Of these three named companies, nVidia is at a slight disadvantage, as it is a company that only develops graphics cards and not processors. Even though nVidia is at this "disadvantage", it managed to surpass Intel in its value today. To put things into perspective, Intel is currently worth $248 billion, while nVidia has climbed to $251 billion. As for the nVidia company, it is scheduled to introduce new graphics cards from the GeForce RTX 3000 series product family this fall. On the other hand, Intel is still drowning in considerable problems - another nail in the coffin is, for example, the introduction of Apple Silicon - Apple's own ARM processors, which are supposed to replace those from Intel within a few years.

Apple device services in the Czech Republic can rejoice
If you wanted to have your iPhone or other Apple device repaired in the Czech Republic, you practically only had two options - either you could take the device to an authorized service center, where the repair will be carried out using original parts, or you could take it to an unauthorized service center, which he was able to repair the device at a lower cost, but unfortunately with non-genuine parts. Until now, unauthorized services did not have access to original Apple spare parts. But that changed recently, as Apple decided to give unauthorized services the option to purchase original spare parts. If you are one of the home do-it-yourselfers, this means that you could also get access to these original parts when repairing your devices.
