China is suffering an estimated 5,000 unofficial deaths a day in brutal COVID-19 surge

China officially attributes just 5,200 deaths to COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic, including fewer than 40 COVID deaths since Beijing lifted President Xi Jinping's strict but ultimately futile "zero COVID" strategy Dec. 7, The Washington Post reported Monday night.

XGIMI Magic Lamp Lifts the Ceiling on Simplifying the Home Projector

XGIMI doesn’t carry the same brand recognition as the biggest players within the home entertainment technology category.

We don’t hesitate to say their models are often deserving of serious consideration if budget and installation/placement are strong concerns. XGIMI’s Android-powered projectors often top lists for consumer-grade, everyday projector models primarily because they’re extremely easy to set up; their catalog of projectors automatically focus and calibrate images on start up, and include built-in streaming app services,...
