That’s why we supported Assemblymember Josh Lowenthal’s A.B. 566 throughout the legislative session and are now asking California Governor Gavin Newsom to sign it into law. The easier it is to exercise your rights, the more power you have. A.B. 566 does a very simple thing. It directs browsers—such as Google’s Chrome, Apple’s Safari, Microsoft’

OnePlus has revealed a few details about its next flagship phone at a Qualcomm event in China: it’ll be called the OnePlus 15, and it will come with Qualcomm’s freshly announced Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and a 165Hz refresh rate display. You didn’t blink and miss the OnePlus 14, if you’re wondering about that.
