In case you’ve been living under a rock, this past weekend (Sun., Jan. 28, 2018), Ronda Rouseymade an appearance at WWE’s “Royal Rumble” event and, shortly thereafter, announced that she had indeed signed a full-time contract with the professional wrestling organization.

And while some “Divas” within the WWE organization may be eager to test their mettle against Rousey inside the ring, other’s aren’t as happy with the move. Former WWE women’s champion Sasha Banks is among them, recently chiming in on Rousey’s crossover. And she didn’t sound thrilled ... at all.

“My feelings, and sorry to do it to you guys, but you know - I have nothing nice to say so I can’t say anything at all. So that’s it,” declared banks during an appearance on Sirius XM’s Busted Open(via Cageside Seats). “I have nothing to say about it, nope. I’ve got nothing nice to say, I’m gonna keep at that. You’re not gonna get nothing out of me.”

Still, when pressed about how she would react if she ever finds herself having to work with “Rowdy,” Banks — once again — kept it short and sweet.

“It’s like I do every single week — I do my job.”

Of course, there are those who may take her comments as nothing more than part of a story line, though it seems her feelings toward Rousey are genuine. Nevertheless, it seems Rousey won’t have too many friends in the locker room, though it’s something I’m sure she won’t mind.

A date has not been confirmed for Rousey’s official WWE debut, though all signs point to Wrestlemania 34, which is set for April 8, 2018, in New Orleans, La., as being a potential landing spot.

Here’s Sasha’s short interview in the embedded clip below:

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...
