TikTok facing new orders from Canada to cease operations within the country due to national security concerns. Mobile users of the Google TV app can now share shows with other contacts, making binge recommendations much easier. VoltPost brings lamp posts to the Detroit area that can charge electric vehicles.
Canada is cracking down on TikTok. The country ordered the company to shut down its business in Canada, citing national security risks. The company’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, must end its activities, but the app itself isn’t banned. In April, President Biden signed a law giving ByteDance until January to find a non-Chinese buyer, or be banned nationwide in the U.S. TikTok is fighting both decisions in court.
A new perk for Google TV users: the app now permits movies and shows to be shared with a link. If you are the recipient, the link will only work if the app is installed on your device. It also does not work on a computer.
AT&T and tech startup Voltpost are bringing internet-connected EV charging lamp posts to the Detroit area and across Michigan. The connection helps Voltpost know when a station might be offline. The stations are mounted on street lights.
