Fingerprint Stealing!

/in , /by

So, it turns out, the hugely popular peace sign that we all love to do in photo’s could now potentially be dangerous for us. Great. More things spoiled by some bad people!

According to research at the Japanese National Institute of Informatics when we make the peace sign we could be giving away our biometric data. (Our fingerprint to you and I)

Mashable reports that if the picture is clear enough, within 10 feet and the lighting is bright enough hackers could recreate our fingerprint using 3D technology and unlock things such as our iPhone for example.

Click here to hear the guys thoughts on the Eletrunks!

See below the original article:

 

There’s a new underwear brand in town and their hilarious but functional at the same time!

They’re called Eletrunks and they allow a user to adjust himself without having to shove his hand down ‘there’ The website describes the underwear as ‘chafe-free’ and keeps ‘you from sticking to yourself’ – regarding the issue of not putting your hand down ‘there’ the website describes how and where you place your baby maker and when you need to ‘adjust’ just give the ‘lifter’ a tug.

Founder Michael Walker, told Mashable how he came up with this crazy idea:

“I quit my job last September to travel through Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. Somewhere in the first week of Ecuador I convinced myself to buy a motorcycle to carry me through the rest of my journey,” he told Mashable. “Here is where I realized how incredibly uncomfortable each type of men’s underwear can be and how there is no true functionality. Somewhere crossing the Colombia boarder the idea for Eletrunks crystallized.”

Uber Self Driving Cars

/in , /by

 

Originally Uber had self driving cars in San Francisco, California. Until there was some legal trouble and the California Department of Motor Vehicles banned them from San Fran – now Uber have moved their self driving cars pilot scheme to Arizona.

Arizona Governor Doug Ducey flirted with Uber on Social media stating that: “California may not want you; but AZ does!”

Although California has banned them – the DMV have asked Uber to apply for a registration for autonomous vehicle testing, saying that it has a dedicated team to help expedite the process for them. The company spoke of the ban and argued that it behaved differently than Tesla, as they produce electric cars which include an autopilot feature. So didn’t apply for a license for California’s autonomous driving rules as their cars require oversight by a human driver. 

The California vehicle code defines an autonomous vehicle as  – “technology that has the capability to drive a vehicle without the active physical control or monitoring by a human operator.” – California’s DMV rules in state that a human driver is required to take control of autonomous vehicles

Companies are required to file reports when drivers intercede or their cars crash. Tesla doesn’t file any such reports and similarly believes it doesn’t meet the requirements for autonomous vehicles.

Uber also operates self driving cars in Pittsburgh, California was the second state in which the pilot program began.

Facebook Live Audio!?

/in , /by

As like most social media platforms in 2016 Facebook put a lot of time and effort into “LIVE” broadcasting. As of now the social media platform is launching LIVE AUDIO for a select few publishes and content creators with plans to open up the feature to a wider audience in 2017.

The audio only service could bring podcasts into peoples news feeds just like live video does for video. This could potentially help those in areas where broadband and internet speeds is incredibly poor or to those that require less heavy data efficient media.

Facebook sees LIVE AUDIO for other uses such as semi professional stage for events like book readings and interviews coupled with the services comments section this could create incredible amounts of creative content. As of yet the audio only live service is only open to the BBC World Service, Talk Radio’s LBC (Leading Britains Conversation) Book Publisher Harper Collins and authors Adam Grant and Britt Bennett.

Android users can keep listening to a LIVE AUDIO broadcast whilst doing other things though iOS users have to stay within the Facebook App.

No Money No Problem!?

/in , /by

A homeless guy asks for change and for most of us (even if you don’t like to admit it) we will say “Sorry Mate I have no change” – well that excuse may soon be null and void.

A company from Amsterdam called N=5 have created a jacket that has NFC technology on it that allows you to pay using contactless. So if you do wish to donate to the homeless and you have your card on you, all you have to do is tap your card on to their jacket and voila you’ve donated.

The donations are one Euro per donation and the money can only be redeemed by a user through an official homeless shelter in exchange for a place to sleep or eat.

An employee of N=5 spoke to indy100 and said:

“[Firstly], these days we tend to carry little or no cash at all…..Secondly, most people would like to help the homeless, but they feel that giving money basically goes to supporting addictions. So, we wondered: how we can make it easier for people to help others who need it?

“ The only way to redeem the money received this way is through one of the official homeless shelters. The money never goes to the homeless person as cash, but is always redeemed in kind. This way, it can be spent on a place to sleep, a shower or food. The homeless person can also choose to spend it on self-improvement, like vocational training courses or even in building up savings.”

It’s only in a trial period at this moment in time N=5 hopes to refine the product and get it out on mass to those that need it.

Government W*nk

/in , /by

A new national censor is expected to be put in place by the government which effectively tells you what you can and cannot pleasure yourself to!?!

According to campaigners at Open Rights Group, amendments will be made to the Digital Economy Bill which mean that this national sensor will have the power to enforce a block on sites not just on content & if ya favourite pornstar library doesn’t add age gate to it – that too could be added to a blacklist.

An exec director over at Open Rights Group – Jim Killock, said of the changes:

“In the short term, this is likely to disproportionately affect sexual minorities. However, there are wider implications for free speech. Once this administrative power to block websites is in place, it will invariably be used to censor other content. MPs have already asked why other material that is unsuitable for children is not being censored.”
