The worst thing about this Android tablet is its price.Review: Samsung Galaxy Tab S4

The Tab S4 suffers from a problematic premise. If Samsung didn't insist it was designed for getting serious work done, I'd be more forgiving. However, its work-centric DeX mode is simply too unreliable for any regular use. Reviews Editor Cherlynn Low cites the companion keyboard as a major problem, but a lot of the fault here lies in the software as well. As an Android tablet alone, the Tab S4 is actually pretty good.

The NFL has been equipping players with durable, shock-absorbent helmets for years to guard against traumatic injuries, but quick head movements can still leave athletes susceptible to concussion. HALO is a new form of wearable tech that could help to bridge that gap. It looks like a typical compression shirt, but under the hood, it's been specially engineered to minimize the risk of whiplash. It's made of a rate-responsive polymer that becomes rigid whenever the head moves abruptly, and according to Aexos, the team that created it, this would mitigate the stress and fatigue an athlete might experience.

Cupertino reaffirms to the US government that it doesn't spy on you.Apple says the iPhone doesn't listen to your conversations

Last month, members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee fired off a letter to Apple, following reports that phones and other devices, such as smart speakers, can listen in on conversations.
