Why you should buy the Xgimi Horizon Pro 4K projector

The Xgimi Horizon Pro 4K projector is included in our roundup of the best home theater projectors as it’s a bright and portable 4K projector that’s packed with features. With a weight of just 3.5 pounds and a compact design, you can easily set up the 4K projector anywhere that there’s enough space for it, and you can quickly get it up and running because of its Android TV operating system. The platform grants direct access to all of the popular streaming services through the projector, so you won’t need to connect it to a streaming box or mirror a phone to it to catch up on the most popular streaming shows.

With impressive brightness of up to 2,200 ANSI lumens, the ability to project images of 40 inches to 200 inches, and auto focus and auto keystone correction, the Xgimi Horizon Pro 4K projector will be a welcome addition to any living room as it will enable a cinematic experience within the comfort of your own home. The projector even packs a pair of 8-watt Harmon Kardon speakers, for decent built-in audio if you don’t want to connect it to a soundbar.

Memorial Day brings with it a healthy number of projector deals, but only a few can provide similar value to Amazon’s offer for the Xgimi Horizon Pro 4K projector. From its original price of $1,699, it’s down to only $999 following a $700 discount. There’s a chance that the savings of $700 may not make it to the holiday itself though, so it’s not a good idea to wait until the last minute before you go ahead with your purchase. If you want to get the Xgimi Horizon Pro 4K projector for cheaper than usual, you’ll have to buy it now.

I desperately want a new classic Walkman, but Sony probably can’t give me one
Tech minimalism is begging for a new Walkman. Though rebuilding it may be close to impossible
Sony Walkman WM2011

Every few months, another piece of tech that seems obsolete crawls out of a drawer and becomes cool again. The age of minimalism has revived the popularity of iPods among younger buyers. Dumbphones have become an escape hatch from endless notifications. Similarly, digital cameras are dangling from bags again. Physical media keeps attracting people who want something they can actually hold instead of another frustrating subscription.

All of this makes it the perfect time for Sony to bring back the classic Walkman, which was a phenomenon during the 80s and 90s. I would love one. Give me a compact cassette player, physical buttons, and wired headphones. Keep the apps, notifications, and algorithms that shape your taste of music. No more AI assistants or personalzied feeds, just you and your Walkman. There is only one problem though. Recreating the Walkman that people love and remember, would be far harder than putting an old design back into production.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim 
Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.

LG is cracking down on smart TV apps that quietly turn your TV into a secret proxy
LG OLED Settings

If you own an LG smart TV, there's a chance one of your harmless-looking apps has been moonlighting as an internet relay for someone else's traffic. According to a report from KrebsOnSecurity, LG says it's finally stepping in to stop this menace. This week, the company confirmed it plans to suspend any webOS app that turns a TV into what's called a residential proxy node.

The move follows a report from security firm Spur, which found that more than 42 percent of apps on LG's webOS store include SDKs that quietly reroute internet traffic through your TV, indefinitely. Samsung isn't spared either, with over a quarter of Tizen apps carrying similar code.
