UK Home Office vs Apple 

So the thing is Apple has this feature called Advanced Data Protection ADP built into their operating systems which is their version of end-to-end encryption. What it does is to lock all your data such that it’s so secure that not even Apple would be able to access your data even if they tried. However, you have to opt in to actually get the benefits.

A few weeks ago, the UK government were reported to have demanded Apple give them back door access to ADP for UK based users. This was served under the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA), which compels firms to provide information to law enforcement agencies. The crowd went wild! Security analysts were complaining,  even two senior US politicians chimed in calling it a threat to American national security.

Apple have always had a clear stance in these sort of issues and as a result have now disabled the ADP feature for UK users as opposed to giving the government backdoor access

Right, which one of you weirdos asked for this? - It sure as hell wasn’t me 🙄

Tech accessory manufacturer Zugu has announced their latest ‘innovation‘ called The In Case of Death Case.

*sigh*

It is an iPad case that comes bundled with a synced smart ring with a heart rate monitor built into it.

The ring constantly monitors the heart rate of the wearer and in the event of death, it will send a trigger to the iPad which will cause it to completely wipe the device.

Yeah, even browser history 💀

This saves the post-humus embarrassment of your loved ones seeing all the wired shit you get up to when no ones looking.

You can learn more about it on their website.

No but seriously though - which one of you was it? Own up now 👀

Can you imagine being trapped in a whale’s mouth?

One faithful day, Adrián Simancas and his dad were out kayaking in the Chilean Patagonia region. Out of nowhere, a giant humpback whale showed up and trapped both Adrián and his kayak in its mouth!

Crazy shit!

His dad - Dell Simancas (rolling in the deep 🥁) who wasn’t too far away, caught it all on camera while he encouraged his son to remain calm. You can watch the video here.

I know this sounds like a very familiar bible story, but this is in fact a real-life story!

Moments later, the whale let him go and thankfully he was left unharmed.
