14 U.S. States Sue TikTok For Harming Young Users
A group of 14 US states filed lawsuits accusing TikTok of ensnaring young users with addictive features, then harming their minds and violating their privacy. The wave of local court lawsuits demanding corrective measures and financial penalties comes as the popular video snippet sharing app faces a ban in the United States if it remains owned by China based ByteDance. "Our investigation has revealed that TikTok cultivates social media addiction to boost corporate profits," California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a news release issued jointly with officials from other states. "TikTok intentionally targets children because they know kids do not yet have the defenses or capacity to create healthy boundaries around addictive content." Bonta contended that features such as beauty filters, endless scrolling, autoplay videos, and "likes" exploit youthful curiosity and a lack of willpower to stop. The lawsuits argue that TikTok then hits young users with money making ads.

Russia Blocks Access To Discord
TASS, the Russian News Service, reported Russia blocked user access to Discord Messenger due to violations of Russian law. TASS also reported that Russia blocked access to prevent the use of the messenger service for terrorist and extremist purposes, the recruitment of citizens to commit terrorist acts, the sale of drugs, and the posting of illegal information. Since last September, there have been five new decisions regarding Discord's violations of Russian law, after which there were insider reports about the possible imminent blocking of the messenger service. A Russian court has already fined Discord for failing to remove illegal information. In July 2023, the court imposed a fine of 6 million rubles, followed by another fine of 3.5 million rubles at the end of September. According to experts, Discord has between 29 million and 40 million registered users in Russia. The service is popular with gamers and companies that use Discord to communicate.

Judge Orders Google To Open Android App Store To Competition
A federal judge ordered Google to tear down the digital walls protecting its Android app store from competition as punishment for maintaining an illegal monopoly that helped expand the company’s internet empire. The injunction issued by U.S. District Judge James Donato will require Google to make several changes, which the company is resisting. The changes include a provision requiring its Play Store for Android apps to distribute rival third party app stores so consumers can download them to their phones. The judge’s order will also make the millions of Android apps in the Play Store library accessible to rivals, allowing them to offer a competitive selection. The court mandated overhaul is meant to prevent Google from hampering competition in the Android app market. It is part of an effort to protect a commission system that has been a boon for one of the world’s most prosperous companies and helped elevate the market value of its corporate parent, Alphabet Inc., to $2 trillion.

Elecom Unveils First Certified USB4 2.0 Cables
Elecom, a Japanese manufacturer of computer peripherals, is the first company to obtain certifications for new USB4 2.0 cables, which will offer a bandwidth of up to 80 Gbps and the ability to supply up to 240 watts of power with the cable. The new cables will be available in two versions. One cable is certified at 80 Gbps and 240 watts of power. The second cable is also certified for 80 Gbps of bandwidth, but only 60 watts of electrical power. The new USB4 2.0 Standard doubles the data transfer speed over the original USB4 with its 40 Gbps. The cables are expected to provide support for DisplayPort. Elecom plans to officially launch the cables in December 2024. Other manufacturers will also offer the cables which offer higher transfer speeds and the ability to supply power to a greater number of power hungry devices. USB4 2.0 has already been included in "Preview" versions of Microsoft Windows 11 operating system.

World Wide Web Foundation Closing
The World Wide Web Foundation announced it would close after 15 years of working to make the web safer and more accessible. The foundation was founded in 2009 by Tim Berners-Lee, who is widely credited with inventing the World Wide Web and making it possible for users to browse websites and download files over the Internet. When the WWWF was first created, only 20 percent of the world's population had access to the Internet. Today, that figure has increased to an astonishing 70 percent, and there are no signs of stopping. Alongside that growth, there are increasing threats of scams, malware, and hackers. Berners-Lee believes that while today's Internet faces new challenges, many excellent organizations have formed over the last decade that are defending the web's principles and users' rights online. Berners-Lee will shift his attention away from the foundation to develop his vision for the Solid Protocol, which aims to evolve the web more openly and decentralized.

Motherboard PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD Issues
Recently, members at several well known computer forums reported issues with PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs installed in Asus and MSI motherboards. Users reported that the computers initially worked fine, but after a period of time, they began to freeze and had problems starting Windows. Some users observed that drives began to be detected as running in slower PCI-Express 1.0 mode, although they still offered adequate transfers for the PCI-Express 5.0 bus. Corsair, with its own line of PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs, investigated and determined that the issue was with motherboards, not the drives. Further, Corsair observed the behavior on different motherboards from different manufacturers and reproduced it on their own internal systems. Neither motherboard nor drive manufacturers have yet developed a solution.

Scientists Developed Edible Transistor
Researchers from Italy and Serbia have recently achieved a significant milestone in developing edible electronic components. They successfully created the first edible transistor, which paved the way for using edible materials in constructing electronics. The team developed Organic Field-Effect Transistors using only edible components, with copper phthalocyanine as the semiconductor. They used inert silver and gold electrodes that are safe for consumption. Initially, scientists used parylene-C to make the substrate and the dielectric layer. However, the materials were not edible, so the scientists replaced those materials with ethyl cellulose, a commonly used food industry material. Studies have shown cellulose allows the transistors to operate effectively at low voltage, making them suitable for medical applications such as gastrointestinal monitoring. Tests also showed that these new transistors provided operation stability for over a year.
