Ford has filed a patent trademark to make car windows into advanced microphones. This would allow drivers to tap on the glass or talk close to it in order to access the car without keys, bracelets, or phone apps.

Zoom meetings have become the new norm for many people who are working from home. However, a recent study has shown that the mute button on Zoom is not actually effective in stopping audio from being sent to the Zoom servers. This means that anything you say during a Zoom meeting, even if you hit the mute button, can still be heard by others. This is an important discovery for Zoom users, as it means that they should not rely on the mute button to keep their conversations private. Instead, they should use a microphone that is not connected to the Zoom servers, or turn off their video and audio altogether. By taking these precautions, Zoom users can ensure that their conversations are truly private and confidential.
