If you’ve lately been mulling over whether to upgrade your home network to Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), the simple answer is: unless you urgently need a new router, you shouldn’t. Wi-Fi 7 is blazing fast, and we’re slowly getting relatively affordable routers, but Wi-Fi 8 is just around the corner, and current standards like Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E still offer more than enough bandwidth and features for most people. Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 routers are still very expensive And most lack a defining Wi-Fi 7 feature The biggest, or better to say, most expensive issue with Wi-Fi 7 is the price…

On May 12, 2026, Yoweri Museveni will take the oath of office for a seventh time as president of Uganda. Statistics show that 75% to 80% of the country’s population was born after 1986 and, therefore, is the only president a majority of Ugandans have known. The majority have grown, studied, graduated, and given birth to children under his regime. I can’t describe what life was like under the previous regime, even though I was born there; I only know it from Google or from people who experienced it. Over the past six terms of his rule, Museveni has contributed…

The discussions come as escalating tensions in the Middle East continue to disrupt global supply chains and heighten uncertainty in oil-producing regions, pushing crude prices…
In the past few months, I have covered startups such as Zerocard, CoinCircuit, and Machankura, all operationally distinct, but philosophically trying to do the same thing: plug cryptocurrencies into everyday spending. Building solutions like that is a far cry from the first wave of African crypto solutions. In its early years, peer-to-peer (P2P) trading platforms and offshore exchanges accounted for significant activity in the continent’s crypto ecosystem. It’s the first time the centre of gravity in African crypto is moving from cross‑border arbitrage to low‑value domestic payments, asking a more practical question: can this thing pay my landlord, my Uber…
Enugu State in southeastern Nigeria says it is planning an artificial intelligence institute intended to prepare graduates for roles in global digital markets. Arinze Chilo-Offiah, the governor’s special adviser on digital economy and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, who leads the project, frames it within a broader economic argument. “If you look at (diaspora) remittances, they rival what we earn from crude,” he told TechCabal on Tuesday during a visit to his Enugu office. “So the question becomes, what is our real competitive advantage?” He argues that talents, particularly in specialised fields such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and software…
Designing for agentic AI requires attention to both the system’s behavior and the transparency of its actions. Between the black box and the data dump lies a more thoughtful approach. Victor Yocco explores how to map decision points and reveal the right moments to build trust through clarity, not noise.Designing for autonomous agents presents a unique frustration. We hand a complex task to an AI, it vanishes for 30 seconds (or 30 minutes), and then it returns with a result. We stare at the screen. Did it work? Did it hallucinate? Did it check the compliance database or skip that…
