Chrome is working on logging online with biometrics. No more passwords!

Why remember stuff when you can just put your fat finger on the display? Rumour online is that Google is hard at work at implementing fingerprint scan access – feature well known from smartphones – to online websites. First step on this path was for Chrome to implement WebAuthn standard that allows such function. Fingerprint logging will reach Chrome soon, but will only be available for testers at first. Much depends on websites’ owners – without them implementing similiar standards the function will not ...

Facebook ”memories” are getting a lifting

That is great. I cannot wait to remember all the good moments that me and my eight Facebook friends have hardly spent together. Mm. I must be an exception, though, since seemingly lots of people enjoy their FB memories. It is for them that Zuckerberg is updating memories with new functions. New, modernized memories are said to be divided into a number of sections; one for the already known That Day, another for collage of events that you and your friends participated in, another for events that we missed by not spending every waking moment on social websites etc.New and better memories are ...

Data of 92 million people has been stolen or goddamn, every twat online can see your data now

This time the victim is MyHeritage, an Israeli organization that researches one’s lineage based on the DNA tests. If you thought that Facebook letting some hackers get away with 50 million accounts data was bad, check this out – nearly twice as much has been stolen from MyHeritage’s data banks. The attack has been performed last year – yeah… and the data stolen has belonged to everyone who has logged into the organisation’s website before 27th October 2017. MyHeritage has officially stated that the user’s DNA info, passwords and back account info ...

Elder Scrolls: Blades, or mobile Skyrim

Elder Scrolls: Blades is a mobile game taking place in The Elder Scrolls universe (also known, by the uneducated, as ”that Skyrim place”). Game’s reveal trailer is available here. It can be treated as mobile Skyrim, but that does not really tell the whole story, or so it seems. Blades can be played in one of three gameplay modes: Abyss, where the player traverses a procedurally generated dungeon, Town, where the focus of the game is building up your own place by completing quests and Arena, which is all about fighting enemies with particular sets of rules. Little is known ...

Teenagers turning away from Facebook?

According to the research concluded by the Pew Research Center, Facebook is now more popular among adults than teens.

Twitter came in fifth, used by 32% of people surveyed. Further research revealed ...

Destiny 2: Forsaken, another expansion pack

Destiny 2 is a bad game. Yeah, I know it has a load of fans. It is not my fault that kids have a bad taste and some adults want to spend their free time playing brainless video games. Destiny 2 is now in the same situation that the first game was – basic game has proven shallow and unentertaining, so it has to be saved by releasing a whole bunch of expensive and good-to-bad expansions. Forsaken seems to be on the good side, but we will see… promised features of the game include:– new campaign in a location known from the first game, The Reef,– improved mods system ...

Lenovo Z5 premiered. Lenovo promised us a lot but did not deliver

The company tried hard to make us believe that the Z5 smartphone will be The thing, the new cool kid on the block, the best thing since sliced bread. Awesome specs, kewl looks, full-panel display etc. Well, Z5’s official presentation came, and it is… just another smartphone. Nothing special. All the promises about the borderless display turned out to be lies – phone has a notch as well as a considerable ”goatee” at the bottom of the front panel. Bleh. Specifications of Z5 are also nothing spectacular:– processor Snapdragon 636 (it was supposed to be 845), ...
