The company is following up its now extensive range of earbuds with bigger headphones coming this summer. “I think they’re better than AirPods Max,” says Nothing designer Tom Ridley as he and the design team tease what to expect while critiquing the competition, but we’ll have to wait to learn more than that.

    The EU thinks TikTok broke its ad rules.

    The preliminary finding in an investigation opened last year says TikTok breached the Digital Services Act’s requirements to publish information about the content of ads, which users are targeted, and who paid for them.
