This is also the cheapest HDMI streaming device you can buy that supports 4K HDR, which alone makes this a really great purchase. Technically, the Roku Premiere is not an HDMI streaming stick, but it acts the same way. It’s actually a tiny set-top box that sits under your TV. Or you can use some 3M adhesives to attach it to the back of your TV – since you don’t need to point the remote directly at the Roku to use it....

The EU hasn’t released a formal statement on the matter yet. The EU warns Elon Musk after Twitter suspended several journalists Twitter suspended several prominent journalists on Thursday evening....

As part of this process, Facebook was required to provide regular updates to the CMA about its compliance with the IEO....

The Facebook News Feed is changing its name For some reason, Facebook felt that this was necessary to change. The News Feed is where most people spend their time on Facebook. They scroll through statuses, pictures, and other forms of media that people create. Now, via a tweet from the official Facebook Twitter account, the company announced that its News Feed will simply be called Feed. It seems weird that Facebook would make this change, but there may be some solid reasoning behind it....

Now, this isn’t the first time we are hearing about Fast Pair support for Chrome OS devices. Back in November 2018, the Android Developers Blog announced that the feature is in development for Chromebooks and will roll out in 2019.

But, with Google doing away with the centralized app for Wear OS 3, Fossil moved the setup for its Wear OS watches to the app....

According to the FTC announcement, Drizly should destroy unnecessary data and restrict future data collection and retention. Also, its CEO James Cory Rellas should adhere to specific data security requirements. FTC says the platform “failed to take steps to protect consumers’ data from hackers,” and the data of 2.5 million customers was exposed. “Our proposed order against Drizly not only restricts what the company can retain and collect going forward but also ensures the CEO faces consequences for the company’s carelessness,” Samuel Levine, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection noted....

According to @TechInsiderBlog on Twitter, Samsung will offer the Galaxy A53 5G in the following two configurations: 6GB+128GB and 6GB+256GB. No, it’s not a typo.

Firstly, Samsung says the Galaxy S22 trio can now capture clearer and brighter videos in low-light conditions. A similar enhancement recently rolled out to the Expert RAW camera app as well.

The new Galaxy flagships are also getting improvements to the touch functionality. We expect a faster and smoother touch response following this update....

Ice Universe, a well-known tipster, tweeted out something really interesting today. He shared the following tweet “Note is over, but it’s not over. S becomes Note!”, which clearly hints that Samsung is moving the S series towards the Note territory.
