Hello Clubbers!
We had a good meeting. A little about bitcoin, a little about Facebook, some scary stuff on cellphones, and a retraining on closing apps. Here are some of the topics and links when appropriate.
- an impromptu conversation about bitcoin and the Eero mesh WiFi extender.
- Zuckerberg will be questioned in Congress by 55 committee members of which only nine have not received payments from Facebook. (see article [here].)
- Steve Wozniak drops FaceBook (see article [here].)
- The Cellphone industry skewed research to make us think that phones are safe to our health in a way similar to what Big Tobacco and Big Oil have been caught doing in the past (see article [here]).
- and…Stop Closing your Apps!. Watch the Verge video [here] and learn why you’re not helping your device, nor your experience.
Well, that about covers all the hights from today’s meeting.
I hope you like it.
Thanks,
#TechOn! and I’ll C U all next Tuesday.
