After Math: Stunning figures | Engadget

[ad_1] I’m disappointed in you, Puerto Rico. Getting snookered for seven figures by a run-of-the-mill phishing scam is the sort of behavior I’d expect from Florida, but you should know better. It make have taken a decade but WhatsApp hit a major milestone, crossing 2 billion registered users. The company also took a moment to […]

Next version of Chrome brings web AR and NFC to more users

[ad_1] This also opens the door to tap-based interactions. A new Web NFC framework lets mobile devices interact with tappable objects, again without using a native app or system-level features. You could learn more about a museum piece or check into a conference without needing special software. Again, this won’t be useful until site developers […]

Overwatch League moves matches to South Korea after coronavirus outbreak

[ad_1] A specific schedule is coming “soon,” but the league promised that this wouldn’t affect other Overwatch homestands in Washington, Florida and Atlanta.

Strava now syncs workout data from your Apple Watch

[ad_1] It’s a two-way connection as well. You can automatically send any Strava activities to Health, so you don’t have to worry if you leave your Apple Watch at home.

The International Olympic Committee said it was “investigating a potential breach” into the accounts, while FC Barcelona said it would run a “cybersecurity audit” that included reviewing its “protocols and links with third-party tools.” These aren’t […]

Ultrasonic bracelet jams the microphones around you

[ad_1] The bracelet design isn’t for the sake of fashion. It not only ensures omnidirectional jamming, it eliminates blind spots (where transducers cancel each other out) through your wrist movement. As a result, it’s more effective than dedicated stationary jammers and can even scramble hidden mics. You’re not about to use the prototype bracelet. It’s […]

SpaceX delivers the Crew Dragon capsule to its launch site

[ad_1] The SpaceX Crew Dragon, which is slated to be the first spacecraft to carry humans to orbit from American soil since 2011, has arrived at its Cape Canaveral launch site.

Love at first fold: 24 hours with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip

[ad_1] Things I already love Even after just a relatively short time with the Z Flip, when I use my Pixel, it feels weird that I can’t fold it shut. I even find myself trying to bend my Pixel, my fingers itching to fold the Z Flip like they’re searching for a phantom fidget spinner. […]
