Google IO 2022 date set for May 11 and it will be an online event

Google I/O 2022 goes live on May 11. It will be a two-day event extending to May 12 as well. Going with the tradition, Google had released a puzzle to guess the date and details of its Annual Developer Conference. The four-part puzzle has been solved by now and the company chief Sundar Pichai has confirmed the Google I/O conference 2022 will be free and online for everyone.

Later, in a statement given to The Verge, Google spokesperson Alex Garcia-Kummert said, “This year’s event will be broadcast in front of a limited live audience, and is completely free and open to everyone virtually.”

Although mentions of I/O 2022 being “live from Shoreline Amphitheatre” and “in front of a limited live audience” might have confused some, it was later clarified to Ina Fried of Axios that this limited audience will be mainly Googlers and some partners. Meanwhile, the media and the public can watch it all online.

Here’s the aforementioned I/O puzzle:

Google I/O 2022 puzzle

The four-part puzzle consisted of tangled strings with physical and musical loops. Once untangled, they started playing a tune, which can now be heard on the io.google/2022 website. Therein, you can also see a countdown timer to the event.

Google I/O 2022 Registration and What to Expect

On the I/O website, even though you get a sign-in option, the FAQ section notes, “Registration will be available in March 2022 - check back on this website for more details.”

However, once you register, you will receive key information like the session topics, speakers, and various activities of the event through email.

This year’s I/O is free for everyone. All sessions and keynotes will be available on-demand and in different languages even after the event without any charges. There will be virtual demonstrations too.

That said, the exact schedule is yet to be revealed. The company hasn’t hinted about the products it may announce either. Even if this is a dev conference, we may get to learn about consumer-facing products and features it is working on like say Android 13. Let's see. We’ll keep you in the loop.

Specs comparison: Honor Play 8A vs Honor 8X

The Honor 8A has been the talk of the town for quite a period of time. The phone was leaked on TENNA earlier then revealed on the Chinese website called Weibo. Finally, the smartphone got launched in China last week with a MediaTek chipset. On the other hand, the Honor 8X is another mid-range segment device by the company that is powered by a Kirin 710 octa-core processor. We are comparing these two smartphones to see which one will be the right choice in terms of specifications? The Honor Play 8A sports a 6.03-inch display that offers a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels, while the Honor 8X features a slightly bigger 6.05-inch display that comes with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. The Honor Play 8A has a water-drop notch on top of it, which houses the front-facing camera, while the Honor 8X has a traditional notch. Coming to the processor, the Honor 8X is powered by a Kirin 710 octa-core processor, which is paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal memory. On the other hand, the Hono

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14

Face unlock easily defeated with photo in over 30 smartphone models

We’ve seen a resurgence in face unlock across the mobile industry, arguably due to Apple’s iPhone X touting the technology. Unfortunately, a new study shows that plenty of phones can be defeated with a simple photo. The Dutch Consumentenbond organization found that out of 110 devices tested, 42 could be unlocked with a high quality photo of the owner (h/t: The Register ). To be fair, the organization counted regional and dual-SIM variants as separate models in its testing, so the real number of dodgy devices is actually in the 30s. Nevertheless, this still represents a massive number of devices that are vulnerable to a simple photo. The list wasn’t restricted to a few manufacturers either, as the likes of Alcatel , BlackBerry , Huawei , Lenovo , Nokia , Sony , and Xiaomi were all featured here. Most of these phones were budget devices, but we also have a few flagships affected by shoddy face unlock. These devices include the HTC U11 Plus , the Huawei P20 Pro , and Sony’s Xper
