What you should know before buying a charger

ZAP Notícias7 September 2026 at 22:30

Before buying a charger, it is important to consider whether you should choose an original model from the equipment manufacturer or a third-party charger. Original chargers are considered a safe option.

There are also third-party chargers that comply with safety standards and appropriate charging protocols, often being cheaper. However, these chargers may have deficient construction, inadequate insulation, low-quality components or insufficient protection systems.

Under certain circumstances, these deficiencies can cause charging problems, overheating and equipment damage. The main associated risks are electric shock, fire or explosion.

For this reason, if you choose a third-party charger, it is recommended to select a reputable manufacturer that guarantees compliance with safety standards.

The brain is building its successor

The article analyses the paradox of artificial intelligence: biological neural networks created artificial networks that are beginning to transform the very environment that will shape human evolution. Comparing brains and AI models across parameters, energy efficiency (20 watts vs gigawatts), memory and sensory integration, the author argues that although machines surpass humans in specific tasks, they still do not match the integrative richness of the biological brain. The central question is not whether machines will become human, but whether humans will remain exclusively biological — advocating for gradual integration with open norms, protection of neuronal data, and for Portugal to position itself at the intersection of AI, neuroscience and fundamental rights.

Giant screens have arrived in cars. Drivers want the buttons back

Major car brands are installing increasingly large screens on their vehicle dashboards, which often extend beyond the driver's area to include the front passenger. However, a J.D. Power study reveals that many owners do not place great value on this technology, preferring physical buttons to touchscreens. Companies are facing difficulties justifying higher prices based solely on the presence of screens.
