Today's Story Highlights
28M Records Exposed in Biometric Security Data Breach
Researchers associated with vpnMentor, which provides virtual private
network reviews, discovered a data breach involving nearly 28 million
records in a BioStar 2 biometric security database belonging to Suprema.
"BioStar 2's database was left open, unprotected and unencrypted,"
vpnMentor said. "After we reached out to them, they were able to close
the leak."

Snap Unwraps $380 High-Tech Specs
With the announcement of its Spectacles 3 sunglasses, Snap must be
hoping three times will be the charm. Unlike the two previous
generations, Spectacles 3 has two HD cameras to add depth perception to
the peepers' repertoire. "The second camera for depth should improve
capture and the overall experience, if not add anything truly new," said
Eric Abbruzzese, senior analyst at ABI Research.

How to Distro Hop With a Web Browser
Getting familiar with Linux up close and personal is easy to do with a
free service provided by DistroTest.net, which allows testing without
ISO downloads or local installations. Are you a wandering Linux distro
hopper looking for a way to streamline the selection process? Are you a
Windows or macOS user who wants to try Linux? Linux has countless
distributions and dozens of desktop environments.

Samsung Announces Monster 108MP Smartphone Sensor
Samsung and Xiaomi have announced a new sensor for smartphone cameras
comparable to those used in high-end DSLR shutterboxes. The new Isocell
Bright HMX packs 108 megapixels on a three-quarter-inch sensor, similar
to the sensors found in digital cameras that use interchangeable lenses.
The new sensor could "enable smartphones to capture images that rival
DSLR cameras," said analyst Charles King.

Technology Could End Mass Shootings
I'm tired of being upset about mass shootings and the government's lack
of progress to end them. I'm particularly tired of the partisan
bickering around talking points that have no basis in fact. The left
wants this to be about guns. The right wants to blame mental illness and
video games. What is needed is deep analysis to look at the causes,
craft a fact-based solution, and then implement it.
