What we know about Netflix's password-sharing crackdown

Netflix began testing its password crackdown last year. That entailed the service charging extra for those who shared their accounts with people outside of their households. Now, Netflix has plans to release this widely as an official feature or condition for the service. The streaming service hasn't shared the complete details for this feature. But the company is looking for ways to "monetize account sharing" after it recorded its deepest subscriber loss in a decade.

We don't know yet how much it'll cost when Netflix brings it here. But it has varied in the countries where Netflix was testing the option. The service will start rolling out the account-sharing fees before the end of March, with a full, global rollout in the next couple of quarters. The rollout will be progressive across markets. Netflix doesn't plan to start charging everyone globally at the same time. Instead, it'll start in a few places and go from there.

Google Chrome on Android lets you lock Incognito tabs behind biometric authentication

Source: Google

With this new feature rolling out on Android, you can hide what you browse privately in Incognito mode. Google is bringing the option to lock your Chrome Incognito sessions behind biometric authentication. So, if someone's using your phone, they can't see what you browse privately. (Of course, they can see the tabs you have in the regular Chrome browser.) 

When you have the feature enabled, you must verify your identity through face unlock or fingerprint every time you want to return to an Incognito tab after exiting Chrome or moving to another app. Google first started testing the feature on iOS. You can check if it's available on your Android device by heading into Settings > Privacy and Security > Lock Incognito tabs when you leave Chrome.

We get our first official and unofficial look at OnePlus' first tablet, the OnePlus Pad. The company is scheduled to unveil the OnePlus 11 internationally on February 7.

Another image from its Indian page shows a camera bump on the OnePlus Pad similar to the OnePlus 11's camera. It also shows the tablet in a green colour option.

Leaked images from OnLeaks and MySmartPrice also show off more renders of the tablet expected to sport an 11.6-inch display and metal unibody chassis.

'Dead Space' skin on 'Fortnite' out with Isaac Clarke, exclusive in-game challenges

Source: Epic Games

Fortnite brings more Gaming Legends into the game. And this time, it celebrates the remake of the original Dead Space game with Isaac Clarke introduced into the Fortnite island. Unlike your typical collaboration sets, you'll need to pay US$12 (around CA$16) for the Dead Space bundle. But that gets you the Isaac Clarke skin, two reactive back blings (including his iconic RIG that shows your health meter and a model of the USG Ishimura), a Plasma Cutter pickaxe, and some V-Bucks, too.

The Cutter comes with an emote that you can use to conjure the weapon in the middle of a battle even if you have a different pickaxe equipped. It works similarly to the emotes for Doctor Strange's magic sword or Wolverine's claws. This bundle also gives you the Strange Transmissions quests, which can grant you a total of 1,500 V-Bucks if you complete a few days worth of daily bonus goals.
