Xiaomi TV Stick 4K officially announced with support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos

Xiaomi has silently launched a 4K variant of its streaming stick called the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K. To put things into perspective, the Mi TV Stick available in India is a 1080p stick and to go 4K, you will have to consider the Mi Box 4K (review). It isn’t clear whether the new Xiaomi TV Stick 4K will come to India, but considering the diverse portfolio of the Amazon Fire TV Stick, it could give Amazon’s streaming dongle a run for its money.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14

Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta.
