These new Aukey wireless chargers come with cooling fans
Aukey debuted three new magnetic wireless chargers at IFA in Berlin that come with fans to keep your phone cooler while it’s charging.

Researchers say a bug let them add fake pilots to rosters used for TSA checks
A pair of security researchers say they discovered a vulnerability in login systems for records that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) uses to verify airline crew members at airport security checkpoints.
