Facebook is testing a dedicated section for local news

Facebook is testing a new section dedicated to local news and events, Recode reports. Called “Today In,” it’s currently being tested in six cities — New Orleans, Louisiana; Little Rock, Arkansas; Billings, Montana; Peoria Illinois; Olympia, Washington; and Binghamton, New York. It’s accessible through the menu button on the bottom right of the mobile app and will include stories from local publishers — which will be approved by Facebook’s News Partnerships team — as well as emergency updates and local events.

Facebook made quite a few changes to how it manages news last year. It made efforts to minimize the spread of fake news on its site and incorporated new features to highlight legitimate news sources. Facebook also began pushing more posts from local politicians into the News Feed and started testing a “breaking news” tag.

Recode reports that Facebook intends to bring Today In to more cities in the future and will allow users to follow cities where they don’t currently live.

Confide Introducing New ‘ScreenShield’ SDK That Will Allow Developers to ‘Screenshot-Proof’ Their Apps

Private and secure messaging app Confide is gaining an interesting new feature that will successfully prevent its users from taking a screenshot within the app, and the team behind Confide is also planning to release the anti-screenshot technology as an SDK that can be used by other app developers.

Called ScreenShieldKit, the new SDK prevents screenshots, screen recording, QuickTime recording, Screen mirroring, Xcode screenshots, and viewing an app’s contents in the App Switcher on both the iPhone and the iPad.

There is no dedicated API to stop screenshots from being taken in iOS like there is in Android, so ScreenShieldKit is using a whiteout feature instead. In an app that has ScreenShieldKit enabled, screenshots taken are a blank aside from a single status bar at the top. The same goes for recordings.

Apple does have a feature that prevents screenshots from being taken in apps that stream video content from a server, such as Netflix and iTunes, but since Confide does not stream from a server, Confide’s developers tell us it took quite a bit of tweaking and work to develop ScreenShieldKit.

The Confide team used a “collection of technologies” to get ScreenShieldKit to work, and they believe they’re the first to come up with this screenshot proofing concept on iOS devices. ScreenShieldKit uses only public APIs, and no private APIs, and it’s a seamless experience for end users.

The current version of the Confide confidential messaging app already protects against screenshots by revealing just one line of text at a time, but the new ScreenShield feature is being implemented into the app to provide even more robust screenshot protection.

In the Confide app, ScreenShield will make it so any screenshot captured will show no message content. Confide also already uses end-to-end encryption and erases messages after they’ve been viewed to provide a secure messaging platform.

While Confide’s ScreenShield feature will prevent on-device screenshots, there is, of course, no way to stop people from taking a photo of an iPhone’s screen with a secondary device. Still, for on-device use, it’s a solid solution that many developers may be interested in adopting.

Confide is offering the ScreenShieldKit feature to developers, with more information available on the ScreenShieldKit website.

The Confide app, with ScreenShield built in, can be downloaded from the App Store for free. [Direct Link]

macOS High Sierra’s App Store System Preferences Can Be Unlocked With Any Password

A bug report submitted on Open Radar this week reveals a security vulnerability in the current version of macOS High Sierra that allows the App Store menu in System Preferences to be unlocked with any password.

MacRumors is able to reproduce the issue on macOS High Sierra version 10.13.2, the latest public release of the operating system, on an administrator-level account by following these steps:

• Click on System Preferences.
• Click on App Store.
• Click on the padlock icon to lock it if necessary.
• Click on the padlock icon again.
• Enter your username and any password.
• Click Unlock.

As mentioned in the radar, System Preferences does not accept an incorrect password with a non-administrator account. We also weren’t able to unlock any other System Preferences menus with an incorrect password.

We’re unable to reproduce the issue on the third or fourth betas of macOS High Sierra 10.13.3, suggesting Apple has fixed the security vulnerability in the upcoming release. However, the update currently remains in testing.

MacRumors is also unable to reproduce the issue on macOS Sierra version 10.12.6, suggesting the issue affects macOS High Sierra only.

The security vulnerability means that anyone with administrator-level access to your Mac could unlock the App Store preferences and enable or disable settings to automatically install macOS updates, app updates, system data files, and, ironically, even security updates that would fix a bug like this one.

This is the second password-related bug to affect macOS High Sierra in as many months, following a major security vulnerability that enabled access to the root superuser account with a blank password on macOS High Sierra version 10.13.1 that Apple fixed with a supplemental security update.

Following the root password vulnerability, Apple apologized in a statement and added that it was “auditing its development processes to help prevent this from happening again,” so this doesn’t look great.

We greatly regret this error and we apologize to all Mac users, both for releasing with this vulnerability and for the concern it has caused. Our customers deserve better. We are auditing our development processes to help prevent this from happening again.

Apple will likely want to fix this latest security vulnerability as quickly as possible, so it’s possible we’ll see a similar supplemental update released, or perhaps it will fast track the release of macOS High Sierra version 10.13.3. Apple did not immediately respond to our request for comment on this matter.

In the meantime, we can’t think of an obvious workaround for this issue, so if you keep your App Store preferences behind lock, you’ll want to keep a close eye on your Mac until further notice. If we learn of a solution, we’ll share it.

Update: It’s worth noting that the App Store preferences are unlocked by default on administrator accounts. While the seriousness of unauthorized access to the App Store menu is debatable, the underlying bug allowing a password prompt to be bypassed with any password is obviously unacceptable.

T-Mobile Announces BOGO Rebate Offer: Get Up to $700 Off Second iPhone 7, 8, or X

T-Mobile today announced a few new offers that will be activated beginning this Friday, January 12, one of which is focused on Apple’s latest iPhones, including the iPhone X. With the deal, new and existing T-Mobile customers can buy one iPhone and get up to $700 off another iPhone of equal or lesser value, offered in the form of a rebate received via prepaid card.

The BOGO rebate applies to the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and the iPhone X, which must be purchased and activated on T-Mobile’s Equipment Installment Plan. Other qualifications include needing to port in “at least one new line” on a T-Mobile ONE or select Simple Choice Unlimited plan, and trade in one eligible iPhone, LG, or Samsung smartphone.

Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with T-Mobile. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running.

T-Mobile broke down the steps for the offer on its website:

– Purchase two new iPhone 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, or X devices on equipment installment plans.
– Port in at least one new voice line onto an eligible rate plan to be used with one of the new devices.
– Trade in an eligible device
– Submit a request on the T-Mobile Rebates page (including IMEI entry) using promo code 18Q1APLBOGO within 30 days of second device purchase.

Instead of offering the rebate to customers in the form of monthly bill credits, T-Mobile will send those who complete these steps a prepaid MasterCard card with their rebate amount, around six to eight weeks later. While the new deal is not a straight discount since it still requires a standard payment plan, those who take advantage of the offer could eventually get a notable markdown on a second iPhone X, or even receive a cheaper iPhone for free. The rebate extends to Samsung and LG smartphones, so visit T-Mobile’s page for the offer for more details.

T-Mobile also added the iPhone X to its “#GetOutOfTheRed” program, in which the company pays off customers’ existing Verizon smartphones (up to $650 on a virtual prepaid card) when they choose to switch to T-Mobile ONE or ONE Plus International plans. T-Mobile said that all of the new offers start Friday and can be combined on the same account but not on the same line.

Apple Releases Safari Technology Preview 47 With Spectre Mitigations

Apple today released a new update for Safari Technology Preview, the experimental browser Apple first introduced more than a year ago in March of 2016. Apple designed the Safari Technology Preview to test features that may be introduced into future release versions of Safari.

Safari Technology Preview release 47 includes bug fixes and feature improvements with an experimental implementation of the Storage Access API, updates to Service Workers, and improvements to Media, Rendering, Web Inspector, and the Clipboard API.

Today’s update also includes mitigations for the Spectre hardware vulnerability that impacts Apple’s Macs. Spectre fixes were previously added to the release version of Safari with yesterday’s release of a supplemental update macOS High Sierra 10.13.2.

The Safari Technology Preview update is available through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store to anyone who has downloaded the browser. Full release notes for the update are available on the Safari Technology Preview website.

Apple’s aim with Safari Technology Preview is to gather feedback from developers and users on its browser development process. Safari Technology Preview can run side-by-side with the existing Safari browser and while designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download.

Hands-on: Asus ROG’s PG65 “Big Format Gaming Display” with Android TV

If you love playing video games, you know the woes of needing to game on a PC monitor vs being able to hang out on your couch and play on the TV. Technically you could stream your game to your TV or just connect it directly, but you could never really get the same experience on a TV as you could on your high end monitor. So why hasn’t someone taken computer monitor technology and just put it into something the size of a TV?

Now, Asus is looking to do just that.

The Asus PG65 is what Asus is calling a “Big Format Gaming Display”. Really, it’s a super high quality TV with the guts of a super high end monitor. It’s a 4k panel with a refresh rate of 120Hz and super low latency, so you probably won’t even notice the difference between this and the monitor at your desktop. It’s even got GSYNC. What TV’s have GSYNC??

Since Asus is working with NVIDIA on this project, there’s an NVIDIA Shield with Android TV built right in. That means you can stream games from your PC, play games with the Shield controller, and watch videos through apps like YouTube and Netflix. Really, this is a smart TV, but with all the gaming features you ever wanted.

This display is also HDR certified and can reach a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, so you can stream all your favorite content in its best format. It even uses the DCI-P3 color gamut, which is 25% wider than sRGB. Get ready for some vivid colors.

Asus hasn’t disclosed pricing or availability for this display, but we can assume that it will probably have a price tag to match its level of innovation. I’d love to get one of these in my house at some point, but for now it’s probably out of my price range.

What are your thoughts on the PG65? Make sure to leave your thoughts in the comments section below and keep it tuned for more CES 2018 coverage!

Alcatel Idol 5 vs Honor 7X: Can Honor’s budget hit take out the new Idol?

Flagship phones are great and all, but they’re a little pricey. Thankfully, these days you don’t have to break the bank to get a decent device — phones in the sub-$300 range are still easily able to handle everyday tasks like web browsing, social media, emails, and even some gaming. Among these phones are the new Alcatel Idol 5 and the Honor 7X, both of which offer some great features at an excellent price.

But which one is better? Does one phone stand above the other? We put the two devices head to head to find out.

3 out of 5 stars
4 out of 5 stars

Both of these phones offer some decent specs, but it’s clear that they’re a little different in their approach. It’s also clear that one approach scores much higher in the performance department.

The first thing to compare is the processor. The Alcatel Idol 5 offers a MediaTek MT6753 chip, while the Honor 7X includes Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin 659. Both of these chips are decent midrange processors — but the Kirin 659 seems to be a much higher performer than the MediaTek chip. On AnTuTu, the Alcatel Idol 5 scored 31,000, while the Honor 7X scored 74,998 — more than double the score. That was the 3GB version of the Honor 7X, too — so you could potentially get an even better performing device by going for the 4GB model, though it’s only available outside of the U.S.

When it comes to storage, Honor beats Alcatel once again. While the Alcatel Idol 5 offers just 16GB of storage, the Honor 7X steps things up to a much nicer 32GB, or even 64GB for the international model. Both phones offer a MicroSD card slot, so you can expand upon that storage if you need to.

When it comes to raw power, there’s a clear winner here.

Winner: Honor 7X

Design, display, and durability

Andy Boxall/Digital Trends

Design is largely subjective, but these phones are both nicely designed in their own way. We like the fact that the metal bezel arcs up on the Idol 5 to house the dual front-facing speakers, and the overall metallic look of the Honor 7X is attractive. Sure, both phones are a little basic — but they’re not bad looking devices. In general, the Honor 7X’s design is a little more modern, thanks largely to its big 18:9 display, which we really appreciate.

The display is less subjective. Both phones offer a 1,080p display, but because of the 18:9 aspect ratio on the Honor 7X, its longer side comes in at 2,160 pixels over the Alcatel’s 1,920 pixels. While the Idol 5’s display measures 5.2-inches, the Honor 7X steps things up to 5.93-inches. There’s a trade-off there — the larger display, with almost the same pixel count, means a slightly lower pixel density — but we don’t think that it’s a noticeable difference, and the slightly larger display size is preferable.

Neither of these phones are all that durable. Because of the larger display the Honor’s screen is slightly more likely to get cracked in the event of a drop, but not by much. Neither offer water resistance either — so you’ll want to keep these devices away from water.

We like the Honor’s more modern design, and the nice big display is a bonus. This one goes to Honor.

Winner: Honor 7X

Battery life and charging

Christian de Looper/Digital Trends

These devices are fairly different when it comes to battery life. While the Alcatel Idol 5’s battery comes in at 2,800mAh, the larger body size on the Honor 7X allows it to boast a bigger, 3,340mAh battery. Some of that extra juice might be used up in the larger screen, but we found that the Honor 7X offers signifcantly longer battery life overall — which is good news for users.

Both of the phones also offer some kind of fast charging tech, though you’ll want to use the supplied chargers.

Because of the longer battery life, this one swings Honor’s way.

Winner: Honor 7X

Camera

Andy Boxall/Digital Trends

The cameras on these devices are also pretty different. While the Alcatel Idol 5 offers a single-lens camera that we found to be capable of handling most standard photo-taking situations, the Honor 7X steps things up with a dual-sensor camera that we found could also perform pretty well.

Let’s talk specs for a moment. The Idol 5’s single-lens camera comes in at 13 megapixels with an aperture of f/2.0. The Honor 7X, on the other hand, has a dual-lens 16 megapixel camera with a secondary 2 megapixel sensor and an aperture of f/2.2. We found that the camera produced generally sharp images with good detail and color balance. Not only that, but with the dual camera you can create portrait-mode effects that blur the background, helping your subject pop.

While the Idol 5’s camera is decent for most standard photos, the Honor 7X’s camera offers a little more in terms of features and delivers good quality images.

Winner: Honor 7X

Software

Christian de Looper/Digital Trends

Both of the phones are Android devices, and they both ship with Android 7.0 Nougat — and Honor has announced that the Honor 7X will be getting Oreo at some point soon.

Alcatel hasn’t announced which phones will get Android 8.0 Oreo, but we don’t expect the Idol 5 to get it. The company generally isn’t great with consistent updates. Because of that, this one goes to Honor.

Winner: Honor 7X

Price and availability

The price of the Honor 7X raised a few eyebrows at launch — not because it was high, but because it’s so low. The phone comes in at only $200, which is only $20 more than the Idol 5, but it offers much more than $20 of extra value.

Pricing is pretty similar, but availability is not. While you can get the Honor 7X unlocked from the Honor website, you can only get the Alcatel Idol 5 from Cricket Wireless, at least in the U.S. That’s not good news for anyone who’s not on Cricket Wireless or willing to switch over.

It’s important to keep in mind that the Honor 7X is a GSM-only phone — meaning that it won’t work on Verizon or Sprint. You’ll need to be willing to switch to a GSM network if you’re currently on a CDMA one.

We think the $20 price difference is pretty small — but the difference in availability is not. The Honor 7X is the winner here.

Winner: Honor 7X

Overall winner: Honor 7X

There’s a very clear winner here. While the Alcatel Idol 5 is a pretty good phone for the price, it just can’t hold its own against the Honor 7X. The Honor 7X is a better performer, has a better camera, a larger battery, and it’s more widely available. There’s no question — if you’re debating between these two phones, then the Honor 7X is the right choice.

The best keyboards at CES 2018

If you’re on the market for a new mechanical keyboard, the Consumer Electronics Show is a great place to see what’s coming this year. All keyboards on our list target gamers, but they also work just fine in your typical home or office environment. That said, our list of the best keyboards at CES 2018 derive from well-known manufacturers such as Asus, Cooler Master, and HyperX. 

You’ll also see the return of Mad Catz in the PC peripherals arena. The company took a “break” after filing for bankruptcy in March of 2017, but now the brand is back under new management and packing a new portfolio of products. In addition to the mechanical keyboard listed below, the company also introduced a new ratty mouse we covered in a separate rodent-themed article. 

That said, three out of the five products on our list rely on Cherry MX mechanical switches, while all have customizable illumination. Several models attempt to push the mechanical keyboard form factor by providing unique features new to the peripheral market, such as analog movement control and gas pedal-like key presses. Take a look at our list of the best keyboards at CES 2018! 

Asus ROG Strix Flare 

Highlights

Cherry MX RGB switches 

Dedicated media keys and volume wheel 

USB pass-through port 

Customizable Aura Sync RGB 

Launch date: 1H 2018 

Price: TBD 

This new mechanical keyboard built for gamers relies on Cherry MX RGB switches with surface-mounted RGB LEDs. The company doesn’t list the exact types the keyboard will offer, but the MX RGB family includes Blue, Red, Brown, and Black flavors providing different styles of feedback and actuation force. Outside the switch aspect, the Strix Flare packs all the media keys you need into the upper left-hand corner, including a volume wheel – perfect for right-handed gamers. Unfortunately, there are no dedicated macro keys. 

Gamers will find an embedded, illuminated acrylic “badge” towards the upper right side sporting the ROG slash design. You can swap out this badge with another blank badge provided with the keyboard, which can be used to display a team logo, or a unique design. Other features include a USB-A pass-through port for connecting a mouse, USB headset, or some other peripheral, support for the Aura Sync platform, programmable RGB backlit keys, and a detachable wrist rest. LEDs are mounted under both sides of the keyboard for an awesome desktop illumination effect, too.

Vivo Fingerprint Sensor hands-on review

Research Center:
Vivo Fingerprint Sensor

One highly anticipated piece of new technology that failed to materialize in 2017 was the in-display fingerprint sensor. It was the subject of rumors for many months, and companies including Samsung to Apple struggled to incorporate it in their devices.

In fact, neither of these tech behemoths have shown off the first fully operational example. That honor goes to Vivo, a smartphone brand that’s not well known outside China, but has had teams of engineers working on the project for some time. The hard work has paid off. The in-display fingerprint sensor is no longer a myth or something to simply look forward to. It’s here, thanks to Vivo and sensor company Synaptics, and we’ve given it a try for our Vivo fingerprint sensor hands-on review.

The thing to know straight away is that you want this on your phone. It’s incredibly natural, works very quickly, and gives “bezel-less” smartphones with an 18:9 aspect ratio screen the sleek look they deserve. Vivo has integrated Synaptics Clear ID in-display fingerprint sensor into the screen of a new phone, which will be on sale in early 2018. The device you see in the photos and video is almost final, with only last minutes tweaks to be made before it goes into production.

We went through the setup process, which took slightly longer than regular fingerprint sensors, but it’s all done in the same way — place your finger on the screen until all the data is recorded. Scanning your finger happens in a very clever way. A fingerprint icon appears above the sensor to show you where to press, and light from the OLED screen illuminates the ridges of your print as it’s read. It’s just as fast as Apple’s Touch ID, but not quite as instantaneous as OnePlus’ fingerprint sensors. We’re nitpicking though, as it’s plenty fast enough for everyday use.

The sensor is equal to, if not more secure, than a sensor not set in the display.

What’s surprising is just how different it felt to using a fingerprint sensor in a button. The screen feels natural to touch, as that’s the way we have been interacting with our phones for years. It’s obvious where your finger goes, you don’t have to feel around for the right spot, and it’s clearly marked and operational when the phone’s used in the dark. It just makes sense.

Worried about security? Synaptics told Digital Trends the sensor is equal to, if not more secure than a sensor not set in the display. Vivo hasn’t tested it with mobile payment systems yet, though, so we can’t say whether it will support any at launch. Android Pay is not available in China — Vivo’s main market — hence it not being an immediately high priority. Vivo has worked on a few visual flourishes to make pressing the screen something special. We love the sci-fi animation surrounding our finger when the screen was unlocked from standby mode, for example.

This is our first look at technology that will become more commonplace in 2018. We’re fully expecting Samsung, Apple, and others to incorporate in-display fingerprint unlock systems, either as the sole security system, or as a complementary method to face or iris unlock. But Vivo’s almost certainly going to be first. We’ve recently been impressed by Vivo’s first international phone release, the Vivo V7+, and we hope this device also gets a wide release. For now though, take a good look at the tech you’re going to see a lot more of over the coming year.

Pokémon gone: ‘Pokémon Go’ is ending support for iPhone 5 and 5C

Pokémon Go has been out in the wild for well over a year at this point, but if you’ve been catching creatures on an older device, you may have to upgrade if you want to continue playing. In an  update coming in February, support will be discontinued for both the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C.

“In an upcoming update to Pokémon Go, we will end support for Apple devices not capable of upgrading to iOS 11, such as iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C models,” developer Niantic said in a blog post. “This change is a result of improvements to Pokémon Go that push the application beyond the capabilities of the operating systems on such devices.”

The change will take effect on February 28, and it also includes iPad models released earlier than 2013, such as the fourth-generation iPad and the first-generation iPad mini. If you’ve been using one of these devices, you also won’t be able to access your PokéCoins or any items in your account.

Even if you have a slightly newer iPhone, such as the iPhone 6, now is probably a good time to upgrade. The iPhone 6 can run iOS 11, but users have complained of decreased battery life, meaning that you’ll be limited to how long you can actually play Pokémon Go — the game is already quite demanding on batteries because of its GPS and online integration.

Niantic has yet to implement the two most-requested features in its game: Trading and player-versus-player battles. Speaking to IGN in December, global product marketing lead Archit Bhargava reiterated that both systems are “on the road map” but that his team hasn’t “full investigated” adding them. Given that raid battles and countless seasonal events have been introduced over the last year, it’s unlikely to instill much confidence in the developer.

Additionally, Niantic is working on another AR title, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Like Pokémon Go, players will explore the real world, but they’ll be learning how to cast spells and encountering creatures from the book series. We assume the ability to cast a Patronus Charm will be added in about 10 years, while a butterbeer-drinking mini-game will be included at launch.
