In the modern era, it is quite common for apps to require users’ identity, along with a series of other credentials before proceeding forward. However, it creates unnecessary exposure towards the user by using their sensitive information in order to pass the authentication phase. One such example can be when users are attempting to access a website whose content might not be acceptable to view for the younger generation.

LG was able to make this possible by cutting a shallow furrow of 0.01 inches (equivalent to 0.3mm) thick on the lower backside of the cover glass and installed the fingerprint sensor inside of it using their supreme precision and combination technology. Since the sensor is placed behind the glass, manufacturers will be able to produce more handsets boasting smaller levels of thickness, because according to them, a smartphone being sleek is the definition of aesthetics....

The study was presented by Rachel Greenstadt, an associate professor of computer science at Drexel University, and Aylin Caliskan, Greenstadt’s former Ph.D. student and now an assistant professor at George Washington University, at the DefCon hacking experience.

In December last year, Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan had pledged to donate 99% of their Facebook shares – about $45 billion – in a letter to their newborn daughter Maxima Chan Zuckerberg – to advance human potential and promote equality for children. The couple had then declared that the “Chan Zuckerberg Initiative” would initially focus on “personalised learning, curing disease, connecting people and building strong communities”. “As you begin the next generation of the Chan Zuckerberg family, we also begin the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to join people across the world to advance human potential and promote equality for all children in the next generation,” they posted in a 2,200-word letter to their new-born daughter on Facebook....

According to the company, the bug causes Windows 10 to show duplicate copies of printers installed on a device, commonly with a similar name and the suffix “Copy1”. Also, applications that refer to the printer by a specific name cannot print a document.

The Redmond giant says it is working on a new update to address the problem in a future update....

For those unaware, the PC Health Check app was announced alongside Windows 11’s announcement back in June. This tool helps you determine whether your PC is compatible with Windows 11 or not. However, the app was subsequently taken down from the company’s website due to some controversies surrounding system requirements, in addition to fluctuating and inaccurate results. In August, Microsoft updated its list of supported CPUs as well as re-released an updated preview version of the PC Health Check app to Windows Insiders for testing....

The long story short is that if you watch the video below, Lee can actually go through the Windows 95 Start Menu and load a program but that is pretty much it due to limitations of the OS....

The Chromium-based Edge browser will be rolled out to Windows 10 users with a new Windows 10 update. It will replace the existing EdgeHTML browser engine and switch to the Chromium engine. First reported by The Verge, the new version of Edge still doesn’t include full mouse and keyboard support and is unsurprisingly buggy. Currently, the test is only limited to Xbox testers in the Alpha Skip-Ahead group who will automatically find the new Edge in their apps library once they install the latest Xbox system update....

According to the papers obtained by Torrent Freak, Microsoft has not identified the person (or persons) that owns the account, but has the person’s IP address, and is now requesting a subpoena from the court to identify this person who activated thousands of copies of Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server and Office 10. “On information and belief, each of these activations and attempted activations constitutes the unauthorized copying of Microsoft software, in violation of Microsoft’s software licenses and its intellectual property rights,” the company says....

The researchers have developed a new brain-computer interface records “yes” and “no” answers in patients who lack any voluntary muscle movement. The researchers who are from Europe say they’ve found out the answer after using a brain-computer interface to communicate with four people completely locked in after losing all voluntary movement due to Lou Gehrig’s disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The new mind-reading tool has been developed by neuroscientist Niels Birbaumer from Wyss Center for Bio and Neuroengineering in Geneva....

For the unversed, Pointer authentication works by offering a special CPU instruction to add a cryptographic signature — or Pointer Authentication Code (PAC) — to unused high-order bits of a pointer before storing the pointer. With Pointer Authentication enabled, bugs that normally could compromise a system or leak private information are stopped dead in their tracks....
