Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry said Friday he’s confident he’ll be back from a sprained right knee within the two-week time frame originally given by doctors.

“Having talked to the doctors, athletic training staff and all the experts, that two-week timeline is an educated guess based on other cases and the recovery time they had,” Curry said in his first public comments since he was hurt last Sunday.

“Obviously, everybody heals differently, so whether it’s before two weeks, right at two weeks, after two weeks, the plan is to stay the same.

“Every day I’m getting treatment, every day I’m trying to do whatever I need to do to get back on the floor and when the body says it’s time, we’ll push that button.”

With Curry sidelined, the Warriors kept their hopes of successfully defending their NBA title on track with a 114-81 rout of the Houston Rockets on Wednesday that sent Golden State into the second round of the playoffs.

The Warriors will next face either the Portland Trail Blazers or Los Angeles Clippers.

In addition to receiving treatment on the knee several times a day, Curry said he is lifting weights and riding a stationary bike to stay fit, but he said he felt pain in the knee when he tried shooting a basketball.

“I’m feeling better, but I have a ways to go,” he said.

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
