Tesla announced today that as a kind of expansion of its bug bounty efforts, the electric carmaker is making a Model 3 available for use in the Pwn2Own hacking contest that will be held in March in Vancouver.

It’s the first time the contest will include an automotive category, and among the contest’s potential winnings are more than $1 million in cash and prizes available for researchers. A Model 3 is also being given away to one winner in accordance with the contest rules. Tesla, of course, has issued hundreds of over-the-air software updates that have served to fine-tune the performance, safety and security of the company’s cars ever since making the first OTA software update available back in 2012. And its involvement in the hacking competition is likewise an expansion of sorts for the carmaker’s bug bounty efforts, which included expanding the maximum reward payments from $10,000 to $15,000 last year.

$%name ‘Rocket League’ now features full cross platform play on PS4, Xbox, Switch and PC by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

The barriers preventing true cross-platform gaming across all consoles continue to crumble as Sony announced on Monday that Rocket League is the newest game to join its PlayStation Cross-Play Beta program. What this means is that PS4 players can now be matched up with or against people playing on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, or PC, if they so choose. This applies to all online match types: Casual, Competitive, and Extra Modes.

Cross-platform play is enabled by default, but if you want to make sure it’s turned on (or if you want to turn it off), you can do so by going to Main Menu > Options > Gameplay and ticking (or unticking) the box labeled Cross-Platform Play. Once that box is ticked, all you have to do is start matchmaking.

Someone slipped a gun past the TSA in Atlanta and flew with it all the way to Tokyo

$%name Someone slipped a gun past the TSA in Atlanta and flew with it all the way to Tokyo by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

The TSA’s army of screeners who make sure passengers adhere to security procedures before boarding flights at airports around the country are, of course, among the some 800,000 federal employees affected by the ongoing government shutdown. As in, the TSA agents have either been furloughed or aren’t being paid at the moment. But the agency wants to assure you that the shutdown — which has reportedly led a number of federal workers around the country to call in sick, freeing them up to work other jobs they can actually get paid for — had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that a few days ago, a flyer was able to slip a gun past TSA agents in Atlanta. Not only that, but the passenger flew with it, tucked in some carry-on luggage, all the way to Tokyo Narita International Airport.

Following months of leaks and speculation, Samsung finally announced last week that it will hold its latest Unpacked event on Wednesday, February 20th in San Francisco, California. The presence of the number 10 on the invitation all but confirmed that the Galaxy S10 will make its debut on the 20th, but we still weren’t totally confident that Samsung would bring its foldable phone to the event as well. But Samsung might have just removed all doubt.

In a post on its Newsroom site over the weekend, Samsung shared a series of photographs taken at the Place de la Concorde in Paris of several new billboards the company recently installed. The Hanegul text reads “미래를 펼치다” and “이월 이십일,” which translates to “The future unfolds” and “February twentieth.”
