Rumours about a paid Facebook have been afloat at least ever since the memorable Mark Zuckerberg hearing before the US Congress. As it turns out, there is at least some truth to them; according to Bloomberg, Facebook is discretely gathering data on whether or not would a subscribed Facebook be a success. This has a double goal: first, to allow FB to make more money and second, to see whether or not are people willing to pay for removing ads. It has been reported that a relatively large number of Facebook users leave the website due to the growing amount of ads (something that I personally ...

All 330 million Twitter accounts have recently had their passwords exposed due to an error in hashing process (the thing that turns your password into a random string of numbers and letters). This in turn has caused user passwords stored in an internal log to go unmasked for a moment. Twitter claims that the glitch was fixed immediately and that there were no signs of a breach.

Android P operating system has recently changed its gun emote; instead of an actual pistol, it now presents a water gun. The change can be pretty surely tracked to the latest mass shootout that recently have become America’s national pasttime. Since no company wishes to risk being somehow connected to the future and past trageides, many smartphone providers decide to ”chicken out” and remove any gun icons from their phones’ completely. Google is not the first one to do so, too: both Microsoft and Apple have got rid of them way in 2016. Gun emotes can still be found ...

Unfortunately, these owners are now facing a serious problem with their devices.An increasingly large number of Lenovo P2 units has problems with unlocking their bootloader. Whenever somebody tries to enable OEM unlocking in order to run the ”fastboot oem ...
