you know tech news it's a funny thing
oh no google amazon and apple are collaborating on something and no i
checked there are no zombies running around so this isn't the apocalypse
yet the tech giants are joining forces to develop an open source standard for
smart home technology that is that wow
that's pretty awesome because up until this point the industry has been crowded
with a million competing ecosystems and the big three aren't even the only ones
involved here other big name partners include the zigbee alliance ikea samsung
smartthings and signify that's what
philips hue transmorphed into that is almost all of them the project is called
connected home over ip which is weird because you'd think putting that many
smart people in a room would uh turn into a cooler name like like ultimate
smart home club robot house robot house
sure thing bender we finally got our heads out of our bikes oh boy have i got
some bad news for you though you know how we've been told for years that the
blue light from our phones is what's been preventing us from getting a good
night's sleep so uh every software company went out and added blue light
filter modes that warmed up the screen colors to a more orangey red well
unfortunately a new study from the university of manchester apparently
shows that these filters don't do in scientific terms
jack at all the researchers studied the reactions of mice to various light
conditions and found that because it more resembles the color of daylight
warmer colored light actually affected internal body clocks more than blue
light but the study concludes that instead of reversing coarse and exposing
ourselves to blue light in the evening we should probably just refrain from
using devices with screens right before bed
they didn't even mention though that i'm not a mouse so i really don't know how
seriously to take this and puma has come along to answer the
question of why you just haven't been pwning as many noobs lately

i remember dreaming a dream of quack backs and then it was real google has
released a fix for a chrome update on Android that caused data in other apps
to disappear the tech giant explained that the data wasn't actually gone per
se it was just rendered invisible by a
bug which has now been fixed so no i
guess we haven't finally found the proof we need that google is actually an extra
dimensional alien who consumes our data and uses it as nourishment for her
legion of unhatched alien eggs maybe next time

reports have sprung up this week about the pixel 4's inability to charge itself
while using certain usb a to USB-C cables most c cables seem to work fine
but if they don't support the usb pd standard they might be about as useful
as an umbrella in arizona so make sure you test your cables before going on a
trip or whatever by the way in arizona you could use an umbrella but it would
be to block out the sun it's called a parasol a loophole has been closed that allowed
ads for e-cigarettes to appear on facebook and instagram such ads were
already banned but influencers could skirt the rules by publishing sponsored
posts promoting vape products so it's part of a crackdown across multiple
social platforms on content that's related to vaping and frankly i've
already been talking about this for far too long we're gonna get demonetized way
to go riley and californians are about to see more
autonomous vehicles on their streets as the state's department of motor vehicles
is pushing a proposal through for a permitting system that would let more
companies test and deploy driverless vehicles helicopters aren't included yet
but if companies like skyrise continue their r d we might soon live in cities
where we can worry about nothing anymore except
driverless planes falling on our heads
other than that anyway that's it dang it we're straight out of tech news i guess
