Meta has quietly launched a new stand-alone app called Forum, which is basically their take on Reddit but built around Facebook Groups. It syncs with your existing Facebook account, profile, and groups, and even lets you post using a nickname, though everything you share still cross-posts back to standard Facebook. The feeds are designed to focus on actual community conversations rather than just what’s trending. Feature-wise, it includes an AI-powered "Ask" tab that pulls answers from discussions across different groups, plus an AI assistant to help admins moderate content. This isn't Meta's first attempt at a dedicated groups app (they tried one back in 2014 and killed it in 2017), but it's part of a massive new push by Zuckerberg to use AI efficiencies to flood the market with tons of new apps. They also recently dropped "Instants" for disappearing Instagram photos, though critics point out that most of these new releases like Forum, Instants, and Meta Edits are just blatant copies of existing platforms like Reddit, Snapchat, and CapCut.

Security experts warn that AI can now steal fingerprints from regular high-resolution selfies. Hackers may only need clear photos taken from about 5 feet away

Modern phone cameras and simple AI editing tools can sharpen faint fingerprint lines invisible to the naked eye, allowing people to create fake fingerprints to unlock phones, banking apps, payment systems, or smart door locks.

Chinese experts recently showed this on live TV using an ordinary celebrity selfie.

Although it does not work with every photo bad lighting, blur, or greater distance can prevent it, the technique has become much easier thanks to better cameras.

To protect yourself, think twice before posting selfies where your fingertips face the camera.

Blur or cut out the finger areas before sharing photos online, and use stronger security methods such as passkeys or Face ID for important accounts and devices.

Apple's iOS 26.5 update introduces end-to-end encryption for RCS messages between iPhones and Android devices, ensuring secure cross-platform texting globally without relying on unencrypted SMS fallbacks. This feature requires the latest version of Google Messages on Android and is compatible with major mobile networks worldwide, though rollout timing may vary by carrier integration. The update marks a significant security milestone, finally bridging the gap between the two ecosystems with the same level of privacy previously reserved for iMessage.

Kandappo sangadaie, How much hard he and his family went through...

A man in Odisha dug up his deceased sister’s grave and brought her skeleton to the bank Just to prove she had died.

He had been trying to withdraw ₹20,000 from her account, but bank officials kept insisting he bring the account holder in person. Despite repeatedly telling them she had passed away, they didn’t listen.

Frustrated and unaware of the legal process, he took this extreme step.

This incident shows not just a lack of awareness, but also a failure of basic human understanding in the system.
