And it’s more than just flagship size, too — it also copies the style. The renders show a tablet with symmetrical bezels and a flat-edged frame. There’s only a single camera on the rear of the device, but that’s not surprising; the rest of the Galaxy Tab S10 series also bears…

Social media giants Meta and X approved ads targeting users in Germany with violent anti-Muslim and anti-Jew hate speech in the run-up to the country’s federal elections, according to new research from Eko, a corporate responsibility nonprofit campaign group.
