Microsoft's Your Phone app will soon allow you to make calls from your PC

Microsoft's Your Phone app is the company's solution for linking Android phones to Windows desktops and laptops. And it looks like the app is about to get more useful. Windows leakster Ajith found screenshots that show the user interface of the Your Phone app with a new "Calls" feature, suggesting you'll be able to make calls using the desktop app. It features a traditional keypad and also allows you to search for your contacts. The assumption is these will be synced from your phone to your desktop. And you will need to grant permissions in the settings for this to work. Microsoft has said in the past that this feature is in the works. But this is the first time we are seeing the UI and how it could work. There is no word yet when it is going to roll out to users.

Your Phone brings everything from notifications, text messages, as well as the use of some apps to your desktop or laptop so you wouldn't need to pick the phone up while working.  A quick reply system is also in the works for those who need that. You will need to have the app installed on both your Phone and Windows 10 to establish a link between devices.

TSA reverses ban on the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Coke bottles

We reported earlier about the US’s Transportation Security Administration banning the “thermal detonator”-shaped bottles of Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite made especially for the Star Wars: Galaxy’s End theme park. Now, the TSA reverses its decision, allowing travellers to take home these collectibles. The TSA claimed this could confuse TSA screeners at airport security checkpoints. As expected, the decision wasn’t met kindly on the internet. And now it seems the government agency is listening to the gripes and will treat these containers as “oversized liquid.” So, if you choose to bring it with the liquid in it, you need to put it in your checked bags. If it’s empty, you can carry it with you. But the TSA warns that “TSA officers will maintain the discretion to prohibit any item through the screening checkpoint if they believe it poses a security threat.”

The Google Pixel 4 might come in new 'Coral' colour option

If this leak is to be believed, we're getting a more eye-catching colour option for the Pixel 4. Photos circulating on Chinese site Weibo show the Google smartphone in this new orange colourway. It could end up being called Coral if we're to base it off the accompanying text of the leak as well as Google's use of the name for orange products in the past.

Based on the images we've seen, it seems to be a matte application of the colour. And it's in line with what we've seen so far. There have been white and black models, with the white one sporting an orange-accented power button. This "Coral" version seems to have the same orange-coloured power button. It's also a departure from how Google chooses colours for its smartphones. But it might just work for those who want a more pop of colour on their unit.

Bryce Dallas Howard's documentary Dads, which will debut at the Toronto Film Festival on Monday, will reportedly be heading to the Apple TV+ streaming service. The tech company used its "first-look" deal with Imagine Documentaries (the film company of Bryce's father Ron Howard) to secure rights to the documentary. It focuses on what fatherhood looks like in today's world with commentary from ordinary dads as well as celebrity fathers like Jimmy Fallon, Neil Patrick Harris, and Will Smith.

There is no premiere date yet for Dads, but a run in theatres is said to be "on the table." Apple hasn't commented on the deal yet.
