The 2018 Tonys will be presented by Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban, but the show could well be stolen by a certain Bruce Springsteen. ‘The Boss’ will be performing live at the extravaganza, giving us a taste of his critically-acclaimed show, Springsteen on Broadway. He’ll also be presented with an already-announced Special Tony Award, as will John Leguizamo for his one-man comedy show, Latin History for Morons.

The rest of the awards remain a mystery, so you’ll have to go down one of the routes below to tune in and find out where the accolades are heading. Live stream the Tony Awards with our guide.

The OnePlus 6 is a fantastic smartphone, but it also has a pretty serious security flaw, as discovered by an independent security researcher – a flaw that could give tech-savvy hackers unrestricted access to your phone, if they were given physical access to it with a PC nearby.

As reported on XDA Developers, and first noticed by researcher Jason Donenfeld of Edge Security, the bootloader on the OnePlus 6 isn’t as locked down as it should be – that’s the part of the phone’s built-in firmware that stops you replacing the OnePlus OS with whatever else you want to install instead.

It turns out that OnePlus 6 lets you boot any code you like, even when the bootloader is supposedly locked, without having to jump through the usual security hoops first – so a host of malware could be installed and you’d be none the wiser.

Don’t panic

To exploit the flaw, someone would need physical access to your phone, a USB cable, and a computer, so this isn’t something you’re going to get hit by while your OnePlus 6 is in your pocket. Nevertheless, it looks like an oversight from the manufacturer.

The phone maker has confirmed in a statement that a fix for the bug is going to be rolling out shortly, but until then don’t let your OnePlus 6 out of your sight. While the chances of someone taking advantage of the exploit are in reality very slim, we’re talking about fundamental Android security measures, so it’s surprising that OnePlus has missed this.

According to reports, OxygenOS 5.1.6 still includes the hack-friendly bootloader, so a patch might be included in OxygenOS 5.1.7. When we get more information on a software update, we’ll let you know.

It’s the fifth and final day of Sony’s countdown to its big E3 showcase on Monday, and the last reveal is the arrival of Beat Saber on PlayStation VR, having previously been available on the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

If you’re not already familiar with Beat Saber, imagine being a Jedi knight traveling through a Tron-style corridor wielding a couple of lightsabers. Your task is to cut down the glowing neon blocks as they zoom towards you – it’s a bit like Guitar Hero with VR swords instead of guitars.

“Beat Saber is a VR rhythm game, where your goal is to slash the beats which fit perfectly into precisely handcrafted music,” runs the official spiel, and if those descriptions aren’t enough for you, you can check out the trailer below.

As yet we don’t have an official release date or price for Beat Saber for PS VR, but the game is confirmed as coming to the platform, so you shouldn’t have too long to wait before the title is available to buy.

Even if the game doesn’t seem like something you’d ordinarily get into, it is extremely well reviewed by the people who’ve actually played it, so it might be worth giving it a chance – the Steam version allows custom levels as well as levels designed by the developers, so there’s plenty of variety included.

And that concludes Sony’s countdown to its E3 press conference on June 11 at 6pm PT/9pm ET/midnight June 12 BST. The Beat Saber announcement adds to the news we’ve already had about Ghost Giant, Twin Mirror, Days Gone and Tetris Effect.
