Google has officially discontinued its Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL smartphones that were released in October 2019. The firm has stopped selling its flagship device almost immediately after launching the Pixel 4a, an affordable version of the Pixel 4 series. Google has said the phone will be available via retail partners until stocks last.

They come with the same dual microphones and QN1 noise-cancelling chipset as its predecessor but have a new SoC that samples music and ambient noise 700 times per second.

Popular video-sharing app TikTok has reportedly threatened to take legal action in US courts against Donald Trump's executive order banning anyone under US jurisdiction from doing business with the company's owner ByteDance, news agency AFP reported. TikTok said in a statement that it will &ldquo;pursue all remedies possible to ensure that the rule of law is not discarded and that our company and our users are treated fairly.&rdquo; This comes after Trump issued an executive order to ban TikTok and WeChat from operating in the US in 45 days if not sold by their Chinese parent companies.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly told his employees that he&rsquo;s &ldquo;really worried&rdquo; about the possible TikTok ban in the US and that the decision would set &ldquo;a really bad long-term precedent.&rdquo; According to BuzzFeed, Zuckerberg addressed TikTok&rsquo;s &ldquo;extraordinary circumstance&rdquo; at a recent all-hands meeting with Facebook employees. US President Donald Trump has told TikTok&rsquo;s parent company ByteDance to sell its US operations to an American company by September 15 or face a nationwide ban on the viral short-video sharing app.

Microsoft has reportedly blamed Apple for the lack of cloud gaming apps and subscription services on iOS devices through unfair enforcement of its App Store policies. The software giant also accused the iPhone maker of consistent bias against gaming apps, but promised to find a way &ldquo;to bring cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to the iOS platform.&rdquo; Earlier, Apple told Business Insider that the cloud-based services are in violation of its App Store guidelines simply because it &ldquo;isn't able to review each game&rdquo;.

Microsoft is chasing a deal to buy all of TikTok's global business, including the short-form video app&rsquo;s operations in India and Europe, according to international daily Financial Times. This follows the software giant&rsquo;s announcement that it was in negotiations with TikTok-owner ByteDance to explore a purchase of its service in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. TikTok was a huge hit in India, with more than 650 million downloads, before it was banned since the end of June along with 58 other Chinese apps over national security reasons.

Tech giant Facebook has announced that it is extending its work from home policy, to allow its employees to voluntarily work remotely, until July next year.
According to a Facebook spokesperson, the decision has been taken based on guidance from health and government experts in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The company will grant an additional $1,000 for the employees' home-office needs.
The move follows similar announcements by Google and Twitter, among other companies. Facebook expects to have nearly half of its workforce working remotely in the next 5-10 years.

US President Donald Trump on Thursday issued an executive order that would ban the Chinese social media apps&nbsp;TikTok&nbsp;and WeChat from operating in the US in 45 days if not sold by their Chinese parent companies.&nbsp;
Trump had threatened a deadline of Sept. 15 to &ldquo;close down&rdquo; TikTok unless Microsoft or &ldquo;somebody else&rdquo; bought it. "The United States must take aggressive action against the owners of TikTok to protect our national security," the order said.
The order alleges that TikTok "automatically captures vast swaths of information from its users". This data collection, the order says, threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans' personal and proprietary information -- potentially allowing China to track the locations of Federal employees and contractors

The move comes at a time when President Trump has threatened to ban the app in the US on the grounds of its Chinese ownership which makes it a national security risk.
TikTok's&nbsp;parent company Bytedance&nbsp;is in talks to sell its US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand operations to Microsoft.
