It looks like Samsung fixed the issues it had encountered when it first started rolling out its Android 12-based One UI 4 update. The company is rolling out the update again to Galaxy S21 devices and the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Galaxy Z Fold3.

Even with a public beta process, Samsung ran into some problems during its initial release in November. Users were reporting poor performance, screen flicker troubles, and other bugs. Last week, Samsung paused the rollout in South Korea when some users raised problems with Google Play. Hopefully, the rollout now is a smoother process for Samsung users out there.

LastPass wants to assure its users that there has been no breach into its system. The statement follows reports that users were getting notified of unauthorized login attempts. Nikolett Bacso-Albaum, senior director of LogMeIn Global PR, initially said the alerts sent were related to "fairly common bot-related activity," involving malicious attempts to log into LastPass accounts using email and passwords bad actors sourced from past breaches of other third-party services. But they wanted to emphasize that the service wasn't compromised by an unauthorized party.

LastPass Vice President of Product Management Dan DeMichele sent a release to The Verge late Tuesday night with a detailed explanation of what happened, claiming at least some of the alerts were "likely triggered in error" because of an issue LastPass has now fixed.

New 'The Batman' trailer drops with the focus on Bruce Wayne, Selina Kyle, and The Riddler

DC is teasing one of its big tentpole releases coming out next year. We're getting another look at the upcoming The Batman film starring Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman. In the new trailer titled "The Bat and the Cat," we get to see Bruce interact and trade barbs and a few kicks and punches with Zoe Kravitz's Selina Kyle/Catwoman. 

Beyond that, we're getting a better look at what The Riddler has up his sleeve (played by Paul Dano). Or at least we see him video chatting with Batman, sort of. All the questions we have about the new film will be answered months from now. The Batman will arrive exclusively in theatres on March 4, 2022.
