“No one has done more for Black Americans. To make our lives worse,” explained the “Late Night” writer.

A Kelly defense attorney said he had “no involvement whatsoever” in any attempt to silence witnesses.

When it comes to mobile chipsets, Qualcomm is undoubtedly king. This isn’t to say that they are necessarily the best, but they do have a massive chunk of the chipset market. Samsung is producing chipsets of their own, although benchmarks have shown in the past that the company’s Exynos chipsets simply aren’t up to scratch compared to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon series.

However, that could change soon because according to a report from Business Korea, it seems that Samsung could be looking to take things up a notch by partnering with the likes of ARM and AMD. For those unfamiliar, ARM is the company that developed the architecture that many companies like Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, and Huawei use for their own chipsets.

AMD has largely kept to developing processors for computers, and while Intel still holds a lion’s share in the market, the company’s more recent processors have started to gain more ground. Partnering with the likes of Samsung and ARM could also allow AMD a way to elbow in on the mobile market, a market that Intel themselves have tried to find a place in, only to have failed.

We’re not sure what kind of chipset this partnership could produce or if it will be good enough to challenge the likes of Qualcomm, so if true, it will be an interesting development to watch.

The argument that the US government is using in their bid to ban TikTok is that they claim that the app collects data on US citizens, which they believe poses a risk to national security. It seems that whatever excuses TikTok is making to defend itself might be moot, especially with a recent discovery.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, it appears that towards the end of 2019, TikTok had actually been collecting data on Android users in the form of the user’s MAC addresses. Unlike cookies that can be easily deleted, MAC addresses are unique identifiers that are used especially in digital advertising to identify devices.

Apparently the app had been exploiting a widely-known Android security flaw which according to AppCensus co-founder Joel Reardon, who documented the exploit, is surprising that it is still exploitable and not closed by Google. The report goes on to claim that TikTok had apparently stockpiled the MAC addresses it collected for at least 15 months.

Google has since stated that they are investigating these findings, while a TikTok spokesperson claims that the app has since been updated where it no longer collects MAC addresses of its users, although we have to wonder if it is too little too late as the damage has already been done.

NASA has announced that its OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has completed another rehearsal before it’s landing on the surface of Bennu. When the spacecraft lands on the surface of the asteroid this fall, it will collect samples to return to Earth for study. On August 11, OSIRIS-REx successfully performed its second rehearsal reaching an altitude of 131 feet over the sample site, … Continue reading
