While the years following the original run of titles released by Team Silent are not often considered a prosperous time for the franchise, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories has managed to be remembered as a release which went against the reputation of lackluster rehashes. It may not have achieved the same degree of recognition that the first four games in the series have largely maintained, but its focus on innovation which challenged genre tropes has seen Silent Hill: Shattered Memories earn the status of an underrated gem in recent years.

TikTok is down for its 170 million users in the United States after the company voluntarily removed itself from Apple and Googles app stores. Users can no longer download TikTok to their devices, and those with the video-sharing app were prompted on Saturday night with a message saying you cant use TikTok for now.The move follows a decision by the Supreme Court to uphold a law, the Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which forced parent company ByteDance to either divest from the company through a sale or prevent U.S. users from accessing the app until a solution could be found. Last May, TikTok sued the U.S. government to overturn the law. The Justices upheld the legislature earlier this month.There is no doubt that, for more than 170 million Americans, TikTok offers a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression, means of engagement and source of community, the court said in its ruling. But Congress has determined that divestiture is necessary to address its well-supported national security concerns regarding TikToks data collection practices and relationship with a foreign adversary.The action by the U.S. government, which gained momentum during the first Trump administration and fell to President Joe Biden to sign into law, was born out of a fear that ownership by the Chinese-based ByteDance posed a national security risk for Americans. But in the days before the law was to take effect, both Biden and Trump kicked the can on taking action to prevent the shutdown. We have laid out our position clearly and straightforwardly: actions to implement this law will fall to the next administration, Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, said last week. The administration said it would fall on the incoming president to make the next move. In response, TikTok made clear that the app would go dark if the government didnt intervene.In his own statement last week, President Trump said he would negotiate the situation when he arrives to office on Monday, though how he would do so remains unclear. An internal memo issued at TikTok, viewed by The Verge, suggested that theres hope for action and that teams are working tirelessly to bring our app back to the U.S. as soon as possible.Meanwhile, many TikTok users have already found their next platform. In the lead up to the shutdown, media apps RedNote and Lemon8, both saw a surge in new users.

The Qi2 wireless charging spec was originally announced back in early 2023. However, Android phone makers havent exactly been rushing to add Qi2 support to their latest devices since then. Thats made finding a compatible handset rather difficult, which is a bummer for anyone who has seen the wealth of accessories and power banks that iPhone owners have had for several generations.On top of faster charging speeds (up to 15 watts or higher in later revisions), Qi2 dictates the inclusion of embedded magnets designed to make aligning and attaching peripherals a cinch.But what makes the slow rollout a bit more frustrating is that Apple is a member of the Wireless Power Consortium (the governing body in charge of Qi2) and its MagSafe tech was used to help define the spec and ensure that compliant add-ons work seamlessly with Qi2, so its not like theres a lack of compatible peripherals.Regardless, to help you figure out which Android phones officially come with Qi2, weve compiled a list of supported devices. (Note: Due to the complexities of the Chinese market, this list is primarily focused on gadgets available in North America and the EU.)Android phones with Qi2:The HMD Skyline.Thats it, seriously. At least for now.However, things are looking up for 2025, as Samsung has already committed to making multiple Android devices supporting Qi2 this year. And with its upcoming Unpacked event slated for next week, things could change very soon.Google has also seemingly pledged to throw its hat to the ring. That said, things are a bit less concrete with the company saying that it will play a leading role in the development of the upcoming Qi v2.2 standard, which includes Google's contribution of its own high-power wireless charging technology to WPC."Looking further ahead, with Mobile World Congress 2025 starting on March 3, were expecting to see updates from even more major manufacturers.As new phones with Qi2 hit the market, we will try to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. Or at least until the spec becomes a much more mainstream standard.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/here-are-all-the-android-phones-that-support-qi2-150052702.html?src=rss
