Micro-blogging platform Twitter has reportedly expressed an interest in acquiring TikTok's US operation, as the threat of a potential ban looms large over the ByteDance-owned video-sharing app. Reuters reports say while sources have claimed that talks are in place, experts have speculated that Twitter may not have enough capital to make the deal possible, especially when it comes to outbidding Microsoft. Twitter has nearly as much valuation as TikTok, but will need to raise additional funds to see the deal through, say reports.

Reports from Motherboard and ZDNet have said that hackers spammed dozens of Reddit communities with pro-Trump messages on August 7, by compromising moderator accounts on the platform. A Reddit spokesperson has been quoted as saying that the firm was investigating the issue, and that affected subreddits were locked down while they were being restored.

According to reports, Facebook overruled its own fact checkers in order to allow conservative pages on the platform avoid take-downs for spreading misinformation. Leaked documents obtained by NBC News point to evidence that employees regularly intervene in the firm's fact-checking method in order to avoid the "PR risk" involved with taking down misinformation posted by high-profile conservatives.&nbsp;

Reports say video-sharing platform TikTok may file a lawsuit against US President Donald Trump's administration on August 11. The firm will reportedly contend that an executive order banning TikTok is unconstitutional and in violation of its due process right to respond. Reports quoting sources have also said that TikTok believes the national security concerns regarding the app are based on "pure speculation and conjecture".

Chipmaker Qualcomm has reportedly argued against US trade bans that limit Chinese telco Huawei's access to Qualcomm's chipsets. A Wall Street Journal report has said Qualcomm has lobbied the US government to allow Snapdragon processors to be sold to Huawei, since a ban would lead to Huawei buying chips from MediaTek and Samsung, costing US-based Qualcomm a significant portion of its business, especially with regards to the 5G chipset market share.

Harman Kardon has also launched a new pair of neckband-style wireless earphones in the FLY series in India for ₹4,999. The FLY BT earphones are optimised for travel and with 8.6mm drivers and up to 8 hours of playback time from a single quick charge. There&rsquo;s a three-button microphone remote control, voice assistant support and IPX5 water and sweatproof resistance. The lightweight, high-fidelity earphones feature tangle-resistant fabric cords, magnetic earbuds, and can quickly lower the volume for real life conversation with TalkThru.

Harman Kardon has launched a new pair of true wireless earbuds in India. The FLY TWS come with an Ambient Aware feature, 5.8mm drivers and can quickly lower the volume for real life conversation with TalkThru. The company promises up to 5 hours of battery life on the earphones, and up to 15 hours of battery life with the charging case. There is also fast charging, voice assistant support, IPX5 water resistance, touch controls, in-ear detection, and multi-point connectivity for more than one source device. The new true wireless earbuds also have Google Fast Pair support for quick pairing and are available for ₹9,999.

Chinese tech giant Huawei will reportedly be forced to stop production of its own most advanced Kirin chips to make smartphones due to US sanctions. News agency Associated Press cited a company executive saying that the production will stop on September 15 after the ban barring US companies from doing business with Huawei was extended for another year. This is because the chips are reportedly made by contractors that need US manufacturing technology. The official said that Huawei&rsquo;s smartphone production has &ldquo;no chips and no supply&rdquo;.

Apple has launched the public beta of macOS Big Sur, the company's next major update to its laptop and desktop operating system. It replaces the 20-year old Mac OS X to offer a spacious new design that makes navigating the UI much easier. The application window has been updated with new color schemes, transparency effects and rounded corners. There&rsquo;s also a customisable menu bar, full-height sidebar, a new floating dock and Control Center and a whole new set of app icons along with iOS-style notifications and widget interface. Apple claims Safari on macOS Big Sur is 50 per cent faster than Chrome in loading webpages as well as offers better battery life than competitors. It also offers what Apple calls a Privacy Report, which shows you what trackers the browser has blocked for you. Apple says macOS Big Sur will be released sometime this fall.

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, one of Apple's camera lens suppliers for the upcoming non-Pro iPhone 12 models is having quality issues. Kuo says that Genius Electronic Optical has discovered issues with cracking coatings on the wide-angle camera lens meant for the lower-end 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch &zwnj;iPhone 12&zwnj; models. However, this is seen as a minor hiccup and won&rsquo;t necessarily have an impact on Apple's launch schedule. Earlier, Apple confirmed that the iPhone 12 will be "available a few weeks later" than its usual late September launch.

Xiaomi sub-brand Poco has started rolling out its first ever MIUI 12 update to Poco X2 smartphones in India. The over-the-air update arrives as a 813 MB download but it&rsquo;s unclear if this is just a soak test or a more general rollout. Users should get a notification when the update arrives on their devices, but they can also check for the update by heading over to System update in the Settings menu. To recall, the MIUI 12 was officially launched in April as a custom skin on top of either Android 9.0 or Android 10. It brings plenty of new animations and visualisations, an improved system-wide dark mode, Dynamic Always-on Display and more sophisticated privacy controls.

Twitter is introducing new labels for accounts and tweets tied to government-linked media and "key government officials", starting with China, France, Russia, the UK and US. The micro-blogging platform said that it would not amplify tweets by state-controlled media outlets, save for those that maintain editorial independence despite government financing. The move will make affected accounts less likely to appear in search results, notifications and on a user's timeline. Twitter suggested that these labels are part of a larger effort to &ldquo;democratize political discourse and increase transparency and accountability.&rdquo;

Millions of Android smartphone users are at risk of being spied on by hackers after researchers discovered hundreds of vulnerabilities inside Qualcomm&rsquo;s chipset. According to cybersecurity company Check Point Software Technologies, there are more than 400 vulnerabilities in Qualcomm's digital signal processor chip that could allow hackers to access video, photos, microphone, and location data on a target's phone. Moreover, hackers can inject malware and malicious code on these phones and even render the phone inoperable via a denial-of-service attack. Qualcomm has fixed the issue, but mobile vendors will have to roll out the security fixes to their smartphones.

Popular battle royale title PUBG Mobile can now be played at 90fps, exclusively on a select range of OnePlus devices from August 6 to September 6, after which the feature will likely be rolled out to other devices. 90fps will be available on the OnePlus 7 Pro, OnePlus 7T series and OnePlus 8 series globally, except for gamers in Mainland China, Korea and Japan. This is the first time PUBG Mobile will be available at a high refresh rate on a smartphone device, and is expected to enhance the gameplay experience.

Virtual reality game Vader Immortal is officially coming to PlayStation VR on August 25 for $30. The Star Wars title is already available for PC VR, but will now be compatible with the less advanced PSVR system. The virtual reality series takes place on the lava-filled planet of Mustafar, the home to Darth Vader's fortress. All three episodes along with the Lightsaber Dojo will be available as one purchase.

Reports say Intel has been hit with a massive internal data breach, with around 20GB of confidential data being stolen and leaked by an anonymous hacker. The breach is said to have taken place earlier this year, and stolen data includes various documents marked "confidential" and "restricted secret". Intel is reportedly investigating the breach, and believes the leak came from the firm's Resource and Design Center.

Samsung Galaxy A51 has received a price cut of ₹2,000 in India, bringing the effective cost down to its original launch price of ₹23,999 for the 6GB RAM variant. The 8GB RAM model has also received a discount and is now listed at a revised price of ₹25,999. To recall, the smartphone features a 6.5-inch full-HD+ super AMOLED Infinity-O display, a 48MP quad rear camera setup, and 128GB storage.

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. The Pixel 4 series featured a 16MP dual rear camera setup, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 855 chip and a proprietary face unlocking system.

Sony has launched its latest flagship range of noise-canceling headphones, the WH-1000XM4. 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. There&rsquo;s Adaptive Sound Control that can learn and apply a custom sound mode for different locations and a new Speak-to-Chat feature that automatically pauses the music when the user starts speaking or when he takes the headphones off. The headphones also support gesture controls, Google's Fast Pair feature and can be paired with two devices simultaneously. They get a claimed battery life of over 30 hours with active noise cancellation on. The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones cost $350 and are expected to make Indian debut in September.

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.
