🖥️ Tech of the Week

The rapid evolution of smartphones continues to astound consumers, and Google's Pixel lineup stands at the forefront of this progress. The Google Pixel 8 Pro, an extraordinary device, has captured the attention of smartphone enthusiasts (that’s me, I’m one of the many enthusiasts) with its exceptional features. As a proud owner of the previous model, the Pixel 7 Pro, I was nothing short of excited to upgrade to Google’s newest flagship phone.

The Pixel 8 Pro brings a potent blend of cutting-edge camera capabilities, a sleek design, impressive performance, and AI-driven features that elevate the user experience, solidifying its position as a standout choice in the fiercely competitive smartphone market.

By far, my favorite smartphone right now.

📌 In Case You Missed It

The US House of Representatives voted decisively in favor of a bill that may pave the way for a nationwide ban on TikTok, posing a significant hurdle for one of the globe's leading social media platforms. Under this bill, TikTok could be barred from US app stores unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sells the platform to an American entity.

In a recent video posted to TikTok, CEO Shou Zi Chew said:

Advocates for the bill argue that it seeks to mitigate national security threats linked to ByteDance, asserting that the company may potentially share sensitive data from American users with the Chinese government. In contrast, TikTok has refuted claims of posing national security risks, a stance reiterated by Chew in his TikTok video.

A Postscript Afterthought

I would like to take this time to wish my condolences to the family of the iconic Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball, amongst many other anime’s. His creative storytelling, vibrant characters, and boundless imagination have not only captivated generations of fans but also inspired countless artists and writers worldwide. His legacy will continue to live on through the beloved characters and stories he has shared with us, bringing joy and inspiration for years to come. May he rest in peace, and may his family find solace in the enduring impact he has made on the world.

Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama 🕊️
[1955 - 2024]
