[ad_1] The vulnerability could have resulted in TikTok users being sent messages containing malicious links. If clicked, attackers could take control of user accounts. Check Point also discovered a separate flaw, which allowed researchers to obtain personal information via TikTok’s website.

‘Bayonetta’ developer is the latest to throw itself at Tencent’s feet
[ad_1] The cash influx won’t just improve Platinum’s financial position. Sato said this would help his firm move beyond development to possible self-publishing. He also hoped this would give the team a “wider global perspective” than it had in the past. This isn’t Tencent’s biggest investment. It has full control of League of Legends creator […]
Sony is still trying to make 360 Reality Audio a thing
[ad_1] The content is there. When 360 Reality Audio was first announced, my primary concern was content availability. It’s one thing to create a new audio standard, it’s another to convince people to use it. Sony has its own record label, so it had a library of music to pull from. Plus, it negotiated deals […]
YouTube will premiere a Coachella documentary on March 31st
[ad_1] The doc includes some of the behind-the-scenes stories that formed the California festival’s foundations. It includes exclusive footage and interviews, along with performances from the likes of Billie Eilish, Kanye West, Daft Punk, Travis Scott, LCD Soundsystem, Rage Against The Machine, Pixies, Jane’s Addiction, Björk, The White Stripes, Moby, Beck and Radiohead. Meanwhile, YouTube […]
Korg’s Wavestate resurrects a classic ’90s synth for the modern age
[ad_1] Part of what made the Wavestation so unique was its wave sequencing, in which several samples could be crossfaded together to create evolving timbres. That allowed it to produce rich cinematic sounds (though with a distinct ’90s vibe) with just a single key press. The Wavestate picks up the same capability, including the ability […]
THX spatial audio is coming to smartphones
[ad_1] I got to try a quick demo spatial audio on the ZMBIZI smartphone using the just-announced Panda headphones from Drop and THX. Blasting Pink Floyd’s “Money” through the Pandas sounded great no matter what setting was activated, but it actually sounded best on the THX-enhanced stereo setting to me. Activating spatial audio removed a […]
Sennheiser’s latest over-ear wireless headphones offer affordable ANC
[ad_1] The two can handle AAC and AptX (including its Low Latency variant), and a Smart Control app can tweak the sound to your liking for podcasts or other listening. Sennheiser ships the 350BT first, in mid-January, while the 450BT arrives in mid-February. We wouldn’t bet on either sounding as good as the Momentum, but […]
Sony’s 8K and OLED TVs adapt their sound to your room
[ad_1] The Z8H and X950H also boast a Sound-from-Picture-Reality feature that delivers directional sound based on what’s happening on screen. Don’t worry, there are visual upgrades. All of the TVs offer Triluminos Display to produce “more shades of red, green and blue” than before, while every set except for the X900H is running on a […]
TCL’s 8K Roku TV should come out this year
[ad_1] In the future, TCL TVs will ship with a new form of Mini-LED technology (not to be confused with Micro-LED) called Vidrian. The company says it’s the first TV backlight with “the driving semi-conductor circuitry and tens of thousands of micro-meter class mini-LEDs directly infused in a crystal-clear glass substrate.” In practice, that should […]
Hisense unveils a $5,000 short throw laser projector
[ad_1] The projector can display a 100-inch image and comes with embedded speakers and Android TV with over 5,000 apps and games. However, it’s a full year behind Optoma’s P1 Cinemax ultra short throw laser projector and a lot more expensive too, at $5,000 compared to $3,000. It’ll arrive in April. Hisense will also show […]
