Typing the1975com in your Android phones Google app will surprise you

-
Call it weird but typing "the1975..com" in the Google app on certain Android smartphones will show your personal text messages in Search. The bug was discovered by a user on Reddit who was trying to search for the band 'The 1975' and accidentally typed 'the1975..com' in the search bar on the default Google Pixel launcher. As a result of the Google Search, the user's SMS messages were displayed on the screen as if they were Search results. "For some unexplained reason when I type in 'the1975..com' (specifically with two periods) into my search bar on the default pixel launcher it displays my recent text messages through Google," the Google Pixel owner wrote. According to media reports, the bug in the Google app on Android devices - especially OnePlus, Samsung, LG, and Huawei -- has left several users baffled. We tried the same on a OnePlus 5T and the bug exists indeed. The messages also will only appear in the app if the user has given permission for the Google app to access SMS messages, the report said.  "It's like just about the weirdest glitch I have come by," the Reddit user posted. "Is this combination just a super random coincidence or is there something else going on?" Google is yet to comment on this, while other Reddit users said they got the same results when searched for "Vizela viagens" (a travel agency). With inputs from IANS

Check. RGB RAM? Check. RGB SSD? Check.

Syncing them to the rest of your build’s light show shouldn’t be an issue. All you’ll have to do is to plug them into the board’s RGB header and then using software like Asus Aura Sync or MSI Mystic Light Sync to control the effects. In case your board does not come with an option like that, the Strimer comes preloaded with 10 lighting presets. Sleeve cabling has always been an interesting thing to do with your PSU cables. Not only does it give it a n

Rumours suggesting the Samsung Galaxy S10 will feature an in-display fingerprint sensor are nothing new anymore. We've been hearing for a couple of years that Samsung will eventually introduce the technology but so far have yet to see anything. Now, according to a report from Korean news outlet ET News (via SamMobile ), the Galaxy S10 will finally get an in-display ultrasonic sensor, courtesy of Qualcomm.  Samsung Galaxy S10 specs, release date, news and rumours: What we know so far Apple and Samsung developing ultrasonic in-display sensors; won't appear until 2019 That last bit is a little unexpected, since a few weeks ago, another report out of Korea said that Samsung was in fact working on its own ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that it would then integrate with other non-smartphone devices, such as smart home devices and home appliances.  It's possible that Samsung either wasn't working on its own sensor at all, or it hit a few obstacles and would rather turn
