Sony’s forthcoming Xperia 1 VI is anticipated to undergo slight alterations in dimensions compared to its predecessor, the Xperia 1 V, as per recent leaks. The rumored removal of the 4K display in favor of a 19.5:9 aspect ratio would result in a shift in the phone’s measurements.

The purported dimensions for the Xperia 1 VI are 162 x 74.4 x 8.45mm, making it 3mm shorter and slightly wider than the Xperia 1 V, which measures 165 x 71 x 8.3mm.

Despite the reduction in vertical space, Sony is speculated to retain its traditional design with top and bottom bezels. This decision ensures the preservation of features like stereo speakers and a front-facing camera housed within the bezel rather than integrated into the screen.

Regarding the display, leaked information suggests a screen size of 149.6 x 69.4mm, resulting in a 19.4:9 aspect ratio and a 6.49-inch diagonal measurement.

A California-based startup, Astrolab, is collaborating with creative agency Group of Humans to pioneer lunar surface advertising opportunities, marking a potential shift towards a futuristic vision where the moon becomes a platform for commercial messaging.

Astrolab plans to deploy its ‘Flex‘ rover to the moon by 2026, aiming to offer brands space on the vehicle’s exterior for advertisements. The initiative seeks participation from various sectors, including telecommunications, construction, and art. Group of Humans has introduced a ‘lunar charter,’ requiring brands to commit to enhancing life on Earth as a condition for participation.

The project envisions leveraging the unique lunar environment to showcase product durability and innovation, with the absence of atmosphere and reduced gravity offering a distinct advertising backdrop. While advertising during space travel isn’t novel, the prospect of lunar ads presents new opportunities for brand exposure and exploration.

SpaceX to Transport the First Flex Rover to the Moon

Astrolab’s Flex rover, designed for lunar mobility and payload transport, completed a successful test drive in Earth’s desert terrain, simulating lunar conditions. SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, is slated to transport the first Flex rover to the moon, coinciding with NASA’s plan to return humans to the lunar surface in 2026.

Beyond commercial ventures, NASA’s Artemis program aims to establish a sustainable lunar presence, with plans for a permanent moon base by the end of the decade. The Group of Humans website is actively seeking interested companies to participate in this pioneering advertising endeavor, framing it as a transformative leap for science, culture, and civilization.

TikTok, already fighting a proposed law that could lead to a ban of the app in the United States, may soon also find itself in the crosshairs of the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC is close to wrapping up a multiyear investigation into the company, which could result in a lawsuit or major fine, Politico reports.

The investigation is reportedly centered around the app’s privacy and security practices, including its handling of children’s user data. According to Politico, the FTC is looking into potential violations of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), as well as “allegations that the company misled its users by stating falsely that individuals in China do not have access to U.S. user data.” TikTok could also be penalized for violating the terms of its 2019 settlement with regulators over data privacy.

While it’s not clear if the FTC’s investigation will result in a lawsuit or other action, the investigation is yet another source of pressure for the company as it tries to secure its future in its largest market.. After a quick passage in the House, the Senate is considering a bill that would force TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app or face an outright ban in the US. The Biden Administration, which has also tried to pressure ByteDance to divest TikTok, is backing the measure and US intelligence officials have briefed lawmakers on the alleged national security risks posed by the app.

TikTok didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
