Editor's take: A recently published Sony patent application outlines a method for identifying users based on nuances in how they hold and interact with a controller. It could be an interesting alternative to traditional password-based authentication methods but what about privacy concerns?

Sony in the patent application notes that when logging into your account away from home (say, on a friend’s console), your password could become compromised by prying eyes in the room. What’s more, if you forget to log out of your

The big picture: School is starting back up across the US with various in-classroom and remote solutions being pushed to adapt to the unique challenges of this school year.

In context: Almost every smartphone maker these days is packing its latest flagship with a high refresh rate display, alongside a 'Pro' or 'Ultra' version that usually goes into four figures. Asus, too, has now adopted this model strategy with the Zenfone 7 and Zenfone 7 Pro. Refreshingly, both models don't differ wildly in terms of specs, with the chipset and RAM/storage configurations being the only notable factors contributing to their ~$200 price gap.

Bottom line: Current methods of communicating with or via technology, like typing on a smartphone, are rather slow at around 10 bits per second. Computers, on the other hand, can exchange more than a trillion bits of data per second. Musk believes that if we are to remain a dominant race, we must address this communications bottleneck.

Serial entrepreneur Elon Musk has confirmed plans to share more information regarding his neurotechnology company Neuralink Corporation on Friday.
