Facebook Messenger tests screen sharing

Here's one useful feature for Facebook Messenger that we hope gets released. The company's messaging app is trying out a way to share screens on its mobile app. App researcher Jane Manchun Wong discovered in the app's code that Facebook is developing a new functionality called Share Your Screen Together. 

It's accessible via a new icon at the bottom of your Audio/Video call screen. When you activate it, the user will be warned that it'll capture everything displayed on the screen. For Android users, you'll need to permit that app to do this. Unlike other apps, sharing your screen will turn off the camera. You won't see the picture-in-picture image of the person you're talking to when this feature is activated. We don't know yet if Facebook plans to release this feature to the public.

TSA bans special edition Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Coke bottles

If you thought the special edition Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite bottles from Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge theme park in Disneyland California are cool and you want to take them home, then make sure these aren't flying with you. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is banning these on flights, both in your luggage and as a carry-on. The bottles are shaped as a thermal detonator and the TSA says, "Replica and inert explosives aren't allowed in either carry-on or checked bags." Now, if you really want to keep them, then it's better to post them separately. Drink the contents if you want to keep shipping costs down.
