More Pixel 6a owners find that any fingerprint can unlock the phone
With the Pixel 6a now available in stores, some buyers have noticed that any fingerprint is able to unlock their new phones in a rather worrying security lapse by Google. Last weekend, two reports out of India emerged about the Pixel 6a’s under-display fingerprint sensor (UDFPS) allowing anybody to unlock. This includes people that did not register their fingerprints ahead of time. Just today, following the Pixel 6a launch in 13 countries, there are — so far — six additional reports of this o...

They’re perfectly fine for us to play casually and we’d never notice a thing, but most of them have enormous loopholes in their code that have let speedrunning players do everything from clipping inside their maps to performing quick bumps around the finish line to record impossible-looking times. Throughout all that exploration and exploitation...

New emoji for iOS and Android include a high five and shaking face
It’s World Emoji Day on Sunday, so that means we’re getting a preview of the emoji that will eventually come to iOS and Android.
