WhatsApp for Android prepares the arrival of a new protection system for the application through fingerprint authentication. As with your own operating system and bank apps, you'll soon be able to activate an extra security mechanism to ensure that only you can access the app. pp. The novelty is also on the way to iOS, but as in the Apple system, still in the development phase and not active for everyone, reports the site WABetaInfo. To use it, the user accesses the system settings and activates the "Digital fingerprint" function, and has the chance to use the same credentials already registered in Android. WhatsApp currently only has the password protection function, when a PIN is requested from time to time to release access to the application. With support for digital authentication, WhatsApp takes a significant step towards enhancing the privacy and security of its users.

China releases first photos taken on the moon's hidden side

After successfully landing a probe on the moon's hidden side, the National Space Administration of China released on Sunday (6) high resolution photos of the hitherto unexplored region of our planet. They show the Yutu 2 rover and the Chang'e-4 spacecraft analyzing the local terrain. One of the aims of the Chinese mission is to examine the lunar South Pole. Scientists now believe that this site is a crater formed by the collision with another object billions of years ago. The probes are expected to be able to gather information to calculate the date of this and possibly reveal news about the formation of our solar system. Although it is popularly known as the Moon's hidden side or the dark side of the Moon, this region is not necessarily in the dark all the time. This fame came more from the fact that it is the side that never faces the Earth, which makes it difficult to explore the region, since there is a lot of interference from the communication signals sent there.

Cosplayer Marvel Movies Thor's Awesome Visual Recreation [video]

If you're a fan of superheroes, you should definitely meet Thor, the mythical God of Thunder. One of the most striking features of the character's power is his brilliant eyes, as shown in the film Thor: Ragnarok. Of course this ends up being a big problem when cosplayers live the character, since the options available to reproduce the effect are usually restricted to contact lenses and Photoshop effects. However, Kyle Simpson, a New Zealand cosplayer, has figured out a way to solve this problem. For this, he used black light LEDs and contact lenses that react to this type of lighting, getting bright. To build Thor's helmet, Simpson developed this wirelessly connected system and created the helmet using a 3D printer. You can check the result in the video below: As you can see, the result was very cool and realistic. However, the problem is that it would not be possible to use the kit for a long time, because black light is harmful to vision and can cause damage to the retin...
