T. Rex skulls had built-in air conditioning

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

When you look at a fossilized skull from the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex there are a few things you’ll immediately notice. For starters, it’s huge compared to the rest of its body, with almost cartoonish proportions. It’s also packed with massive, dagger-like teeth that could crush just about anything and, wait, what are those big holes for?

For years, the prevailing theory of why the T. rex had those large gaps in its skull was related to its complex jaw muscles. It was believed that dense muscles took up this space and aided the animal by providing an even more forceful bite. Now, a new study published in The Anatomical Record suggests that the holes had an altogether different purpose, and it was related to heat management.

Android 10 has a terrible bug that can’t be fixed

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Google released the final version of Android 10 for all four Pixel generations just a couple of days ago, but it looks like the software upgrade is hardly the smooth experience Pixel users had hoped for. Earlier this week we learned that several Pixel models froze on the boot screen during the update, with the whole thing lasting anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. You either had to wait for the phone to move past the boot screen or downgrade to Android 9 and attempt the update later.

It turns out that’s the least of your worries, as Pixel owners are now reporting an even more annoying problem for devices already running Android 10. The current build kills sensor functionality on various Pixel phones, and there’s no way to fix it.

Facebook accidentally exposed over 400 million user records, but hey, at least they have a new dating app

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Oh Facebook, you just can’t seem to stop tripping over your own big, dumb feet, can you? Today, the world’s largest social network and noted privacy destroyer is introducing a brand new product to the United States. It’s a dating app that aims to take on the likes of Tinder and Bumble, and while it’s been rolling out to a number of countries since late last year, you probably won’t need to rely on it if you’re looking to meet new people.

Why? I’m so glad you asked! You see, that new Facebook feature that is designed to connect you with people you might not already know completely pales in comparison to the wealth of personal information the social network somehow leaked and was recently found on an unprotected server. Why wait for Facebook Dating to connect you with someone new when the company accidentally allowed the user records of over 419 million people to be posted online?
