The law, SB 2420, or the App Store Accountability Act, would have required app stores, like those run by Apple and Google, to verify user ages and require parental consent for those under 18 to download apps or make purchases. In addition, it would have required…
Introduction There is a new crop of Redmi Note 15 phones in town, and we have started going through them one by one. Today, we have the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G. It is not the best of the lot, but it’s certainly not the worst either. We would call it a sensible middle-ground kind of device in the grand scheme of things.

Both devices are expected to feature similarly sized interior displays with near identical shapes, distinguished only by sharper corners on the Samsung model versus rounder ones on Apple’s iteration.

With just a single injection, a new treatment transforms immune cells in cancer patients into efficient tumor-killing machines. Now equipped with homing beacons, the cells rapidly track down and destroy their cancerous foes.The shot is based on CAR T cell therapy, a breakthrough that uses genetic engineering to supercharge cancer-fighting T cells. Since its first FDA approval in 2017, CAR T has vanquished some deadly cancer cases with a one-and-done treatment.But the technology is costly—for both body and wallet. CAR T cells are usually made outside the body in a lab. Patients undergo chemotherapy and other harsh treatments to make…
