TikTok: a feature threatens your personal data
Felix Krause just shared his research on TikTok and the verdict is not happy. Indeed, the developer reveals that the application saves the searches of its users via JavaScript code. If the Chinese firm claims not to use this feature to spy on users, the fact remains that the social network can easily recover your identifiers, passwords or bank data.

ING France closes its doors and customers stagger
The closure of ING France is not going as planned! Indeed, since the beginning of the summer, many customers have seen their current account closed overnight, without having time to transfer their funds to another banking establishment. Savers and holders of mortgages were also victims of these far too short transfer times. Our colleagues from the Le Particulier site confide that this departure of ING from France is also shaking up the other French banks which are struggling ” to respect the deadlines imposed by ING », as recognized by the director of the BNP Paribas Foch Maillot agency in Paris.

FIFA 23 sold for only 6 euro cents by mistake
Several FIFA players were lucky enough to profit from an error by EA Sports. Indeed, the publisher has unfortunately listed FIFA 23 at the sale price of 6 cents instead of 100 euros on the Indian storefront of Epic Games Store. Orders then multiplied before the error was corrected. The publisher shared in a public statement its decision to honor all purchases made at this price.

Soon new adventures for Gandalf and Aragorn?
It was Embracer Group that ultimately bought the rights to JRR Tolkien’s work, and the publisher seems to have big plans for the characters in the saga. Indeed, the Swedish firm wants to adapt stories “which have not yet been used“. Several spin-offs on the key characters of Lord of the Rings could thus be developed. Embracer could therefore honor Gandalf, Aragorn or even Gollum in future projects related to the cult saga.

Apple MacBook Air 2022 (M2): an almost perfect Apple ultrabook?
If we regret the few USB ports, the absence of Bluetooth 5.2 and the screen notch not always well managed, we must admit that Apple offers an excellent ultrabook here. We love the design of this particularly light new MacBook Air. The new processor is more powerful, autonomy has been improved, as well as compatibility with MacIntel apps. Among the notable new features of this ultraportable, we note the Facetime webcam, the Magsafe port to free up a USB port and the four Spatial Audio compatible speakers.
