Apple wants to copy, buy, and steal everything while putting the most absurd mark ups on them. Yet it's wrong if they don't like the price when it costs them🙄🙄

                    dbjungle, 10 Dec 2022True, however something needs to be done about patent trolls.You mean the Apple who started the trolling trend with the patents ? As absurd like rounded edges and so on. Also Apple dont release any of there patents to the market for competition also so why should any other do it ? Also it's a product from the companies that make the technology.

                            Near field communication or NFC technology was originally developed in the late 1800's when Thomas Edison was experimenting with radio. Its roots goes back to radio-frequency identification (RFID). It can be defined as a short-range wireless communication technology.
