Stuff I bookmarked recently. Some off topic, some not:

Your Smart Light Can Tell Amazon and Google When You Go to Bed
For several years, Amazon and Google have collected data every time someone used a smart speaker to turn on a light or lock a door. Now they’re asking smart-home gadget makers such as Logitech and Hunter Fan Co. to send a continuous stream of information. In other words, after you connect a light fixture to Alexa, Amazon wants to know every time the light is turned on or off, regardless of whether you asked Alexa to toggle the switch. Televisions must report the channel they’re set to. Smart locks must keep the company apprised whether or not the front door bolt is engaged.
Those devices will never see the inside of my home.

Android phones can be hacked remotely by viewing malicious PNG image
Android users are being told to patch their Android OS Nougat (7.0), Oreo (8.0) and Pie (9.0) as soon as updates are available after a bug related to PNG images was found.
“as soon as updates are available” Yeah, that’s the thing isn’t it.

FREE Android App – App lock & gallery vault pro (nornally $4.49)
Apps locker & vaults is one of the best Android lock app with privacy guard, the best app locker with password & pattern lock screen, an amazing apps lock that provide high secure features.
This is the super aap locks that will protects your apps, hide picture, all features of app lock for apps & vaulty in a same lock box. Privacy your photo, note, call, sms, email, settings…, all the privacy guard functions for you to ensure your phone security and keep your privacy safe. With this app loxk security protection, your privacy is well protected with password lock screen & pattern lock screen.
Just passing this along and don’t know how long this deal will last. I don’t know anything about this app but the developer has a 3 dozen apps with good ratings. You’ll have to excuse the bad grammar and spelling as the developer seems to be from Vietnam.

Tudder
Tinder for livestock. Sheer genius (ba dum dum tss). And, so many jokes untold…

Franklin County moonshine legend Amos Law dies at 83
Officers kicked down the door of his Rocky Mount home. They dragged him outside, stuffed him into a police car and drove him to jail.
Over and over again.
