Last year, the Xiaomi 15T Pro easily won over the vanilla 15T in our poll. Now that the 17T generation has arrived, will history repeat itself?

By far the most economical options are streaming sticks; these sticks usually cost under $50 and simply plug into an empty HDMI port on the back of your television and are powered by one of the TV’s USB ports. They connect over Wi-Fi, and give you full access to all the streaming options you could ever want. The vast majority of people will pick a Roku or Amazon Fire TV streaming stick,…

Obsidian Security has released technical information and proof-of-concept (PoC) code targeting a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Flowise.

Although TikTok is widely described as a social media giant, it’s been gradually moving beyond that category. Over time, the video app added TikTok Shop, a map for local discovery, robust search, games, and so much more. Now, it has recently added hotel booking capabilities and is pursuing a fintech license.  It appears that TikTok is taking steps to evolve into what’s called a “super app,” a single platform where users can do much more than just watch and share videos, and actually handle a wide range of needs in one destination.  The super app model is big in China…
