Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Android’s Identity Check feature is being expanded in the upcoming Android 16 QPR2 update to better protect your sensitive apps. The feature will now enforce biometric-only authentication for any app that uses the biometric prompt, removing the screen lock credential as a fallback. This optional security measure will prevent thieves who know your PIN from accessing sensitive apps when you’re outside of a trusted location. Late last year, Google announc

With iOS 26 coming within the next month or so, Apple doesn't have many reasons left to update iOS 18. But this is one of them. The company pushed a security update for its platforms on Wednesday. iOS 18.6.2 patches a vulnerability related to image processing.

Scientists Say They've Figured Out a Way to Turn Nuclear Waste Into a Powerful Fuel

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-16 20:07:16

Scientists say they've developed a way to salvage nuclear waste from fission reactors — and turn it into a potent fuel for fusion reactors instead. As Gizmodo reports, it's an exciting prospect that could give fusion — which has remained elusive despite decades of research, though many scientists believe it could mature into a viable grid-scale power source — a chance of one day becoming a viable source of clean and safe energy.

Do Large Language Models Dream of AI Agents?

Bilt, a company that offers local shopping and restaurant deals to renters, recently deployed several million agents with the hopes of doing just that.
