Apple’s Groundbreaking Response to TikTok Ban for iPhone Users

TikTok was recently banned in the United States, and while people thought this just meant no updates or downloads, the app completely went dark. Surprisingly, things moved quickly, and TikTok’s owner, ByteDance, announced it is bringing the app back. However, TikTok has not yet returned to the Apple App Store. Here's what’s going on. Why Isn’t TikTok Back on the App Store? Although former President Trump gave assurances that made ByteDance feel confident enough to restore TikTok, legal issues remain. ByteDance must sell TikTok’s U.S. operations to a government-approved buyer to avoid a permanent shutdown. Trump allowed a 90-day extension for this, but ByteDance needs to prove they’re actively working on it. Some politicians, like Republican Senator Tom Cotton, have warned that any com...

Nvidia RTX 5090: Twice the Speed of RTX 4090, But with a Twist

Nvidia’s Bold Claims for the GeForce RTX 5090 Performance At CES this week, Nvidia made striking performance claims about its new GeForce RTX 5090 and other recently announced models. The most notable assertion is that the RTX 5090 is twice as fast as its predecessor, the RTX 4090. Such a leap in performance is extraordinary, as generational upgrades typically deliver only 10% to 30% gains. Most new models perform similarly to the tier above from the previous generation. However, there’s a significant caveat to these impressive figures. RTX 5090 vs. RTX 4090: What Powers the Performance Claims? Since the launch of the original RTX series in 2018, Nvidia’s advancements in AI-driven features have become increasingly integral to its GPUs. Technologies like DLSS, which uses upscaling and fr...

AI-Powered Smart Ring Introduces Chatbot Trained on Medical Journals

At CES 2025, AI is dominating health tech, but concerns over accuracy and privacy persist. Movano, the maker of the Evie smart ring, introduces EvieAI, a chatbot designed to deliver trustworthy health information.

EvieAI focuses on providing accurate health and wellness guidance, especially for women, without stepping into diagnostics or treatment. For example, if a user suspects diabetes, it might ask clarifying questions about symptoms like low vision or weight gain. However, for emergencies like a severed finger or suicidal thoughts, it direc...

Urgent Microsoft Update Alert—Action Required for 65% of Windows Users

Microsoft Windows users are facing a serious security risk as Windows 10 approaches its end-of-life in October 2025. Around 800 million PCs are at risk of losing critical security updates. ESET has issued a warning, especially in Germany but relevant globally, urging users to upgrade to Windows 11 immediately to avoid cyberattacks, data loss, and other vulnerabilities.

Extending support for Windows 10 is possible but costly, and many older PCs won’t meet the requirements to upgrade due to hardware limitations like missing TPM chips. Microsoft has introduced a $30 one-year extensio...
