The TEK team selected a set of applications for iOS and Android. Among this week's choices are games, a Portuguese application dedicated to trails, and a suggestion for those who want to spend more time disconnected from their smartphone.

The Portuguese app was highlighted for users who want to follow information about trails and routes. This application allows users to stay up to date with trail-related news.

The third suggestion is for those looking to reduce phone usage time, offering features to help keep the device turned off.

End of "eco-friendly" smartphones! European Union tightens the noose on tech giants

The European Union has defined that Directive 2024/825, which aims to regulate the sustainability of technological products, will come into force on September 27th. This directive imposes new rigorous rules on manufacturers of smartphones and other electronic devices, requiring greater durability, reparability, and reduction of environmental impact. Tech giants will have to adapt to these new requirements, which could represent the end of so-called "eco-friendly" smartphones that do not meet the new European standards.

Does your phone charger have this symbol? Almost no one knows what it really means

Many users are unaware of the meaning of the number inside a circle of arrows found on phone chargers. This symbol represents the Environment-Friendly Use Period (EFUP), an indication from Chinese standards that refers to the period during which dangerous substances in the equipment should not be released into the environment, not meaning a mandatory "expiration date". The article also warns that, although the charger doesn't technically expire, components such as cables and plugs can degrade over time, and it's important to check for signs of wear such as a burning smell, overheating or physical damage. Other common symbols are also explained, such as the house (indoor use), the crossed-out bin (mandatory recycling) and the square within another square (Class II equipment with double insulation).
