Microsoft is automatically updating Secure Boot certificates on Windows devices to ensure continued security updates, while Facebook is rolling out new AI features to animate profile pictures and add animated backgrounds to posts, according to reports from The Verge. Simultaneously, Sharge has released a new power bank capable of charging two laptops at once, and the Shokz OpenFit Air earbuds are available at their lowest price. Additionally, a new mixed reality play is utilizing AR glasses to create an intimate storytelling experience.
Microsoft's initiative to replace boot-level security certificates on Windows devices was announced on the company's blog. Devices that do not receive the new Secure Boot certificates may miss out on future security updates, as noted by Jess Weatherbed of The Verge. The updates will be delivered as part of regular Windows platform updates.
Facebook's new AI features allow users to animate their profile pictures with preset animations, such as waving or wearing a party hat, as reported by Jay Peters of The Verge. Users will also be able to add animated backgrounds to text posts to make them more eye-catching.
The Shargeek 300 power bank, highlighted by Andrew Liszewski of The Verge, can simultaneously output 140W through two USB-C ports, with enough power remaining to charge a phone. The power bank's design features an aluminum shell with cutaway sections revealing its internal components.
Sheena Vasani of The Verge reported that the Shokz OpenFit Air earbuds are available at their all-time low price, with a 40% discount across all colorways. Open-ear earbuds are particularly useful for outdoor workouts, allowing users to remain aware of their surroundings.
Finally, Charles Pulliam-Moore of The Verge described a new mixed reality play that uses AR glasses to create an intimate storytelling experience. The play allowed the author to interact with Sir Ian McKellen, who shared a story using the AR technology.
