A leaked image suggests DJI could be planning to launch a robot vacuum It could be called the DJI Romo and combine a vacuum and mop It's early days for rumors but DJI has been entering new markets lately From e-bikes to power stations , DJI has been dipping its toes into new waters this year – and it could soon make a particularly surprising leap into robot vacuums, according to new rumors. According to a leaked image from @JasperEllens (picked up by DroneNR and Notebookcheck ) the so-called DJI Romo vacuum seemingly exists, in prototype form at least. Whether the Romo actually makes it to production remains to be seen, but given DJI's recent record of branching out from making the best drones , it certainly wouldn't be a huge leap. A robot vacuum would also, on paper, combine a lot of its existing tech. DJI currently makes robots like the RoboMaster S1 , drones with advanced obstacle-avoidance systems like the DJI Mavic 3 Pro , and cameras with advanced Lidar...

Fraudsters are impersonating US Government agencies Victims are encouraged to renew fake contracts using DocuSign Attacks have spiked almost 100% in the last month Cybersecurity researchers have found threat actors are increasingly using DocuSign impersonations to target businesses who interact with state and municipal agencies. Research by SlashNext found attacks have spiked 98% compared to the previous two months, with hundreds of instances are being detected daily, and tactics are outpacing detection methods.

Android 16 has just launched in developer preview form Developers can use it to start getting their apps ready A full launch is due in the first half of 2025 Android 15 was only pushed out to Pixel phones last month , but Google isn't hanging around when it comes to Android 16: the developer preview is now live, so app makers can start getting to grips with the 2025 software update. These previews give developers the chance to get their apps ready for the full release of Android 16, and they evolve over time – so right now, there's not a whole lot in the way of new features we can tell you about.

The foundations are also being laid for improvements to health record syncing across apps and devices, with user permission. Speaking of privacy, the Privacy San...
