techcrunch.com Aisha Malik 2025-09-27 22:53:21

In Brief Tinder is requiring new users in California to use facial recognition technology to verify their profiles, Axios reported on Monday. The new “Face Check” feature aims to reduce impersonation on the dating app and ensure that people aren’t being connected to bots or fake accounts. Face Check requires users to take a short video selfie when they’re signing up for the app. The scan confirms the person is real, checks if their face matches their profile photos, and also detects if the sam

Nothing fans are mixed on the Phone 3’s leaked design, but what do you think?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-28 02:58:25

Nothing is expected to launch the Nothing Phone 3 tomorrow (July 1), and we already know that the phone will have a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and a 50MP periscope camera. However, Android Headlines posted apparent Nothing Phone 3 renders last week (seen above), and it certainly seems to have drawn a polarizing response online. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that the sentiment has been overwhelmingly negative, with people calling it “ugly” and “awful.” One Redditor even called it an “abomina

What can we expect from Apple’s rumored new 2026 MacBook, with an iPhone processor?

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-09-28 02:31:56

Analyst Ming–Chi Kuo has suggested that Apple plans to launch an all–new MacBook next year, powered by an iPhone processor. Specifically, he expects it to have the A18 Pro chip which currently powers the iPhone 16 Pro line–up. While there’s no word on pricing, the only way the report makes sense is if Apple is targeting an even lower price than the $999 starting–point of the current MacBook Air. Indeed, if you factor in discounted pricing on that, then it would have to be significantly cheaper.

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-28 02:00:45

Canada has folded in its battle with US President Donald Trump over tariffs by cancelling its proposed digital services tax (DST) on big tech companies, the government announced. On Friday, Trump ended trade talks over the levy, which he called "a direct and blatant attack on our country."
