At the moment when someone uploads a photo of you onto Facebook, the only way you will know about it is if they tag you or if someone else tells you about it. However that could change in the future as Facebook has announced that they will begin using facial recognition to notify users when photos of them are uploaded onto the social network.
However there is a catch and that is these users will have to agree to allow Facebook to keep a facial template on file. This might raise some eyebrows due to privacy concerns, but if you’re particularly concerned about having your photos uploaded and shared on Facebook without your permission, that will have to be a small price to pay.
Note that this feature is completely optional so users can choose to not bother with it if they’d rather not have Facebook keep their facial templates on file. That being said, this feature seems to be only available in the US for now due to the different privacy laws in other regions. This feature also seems to be similar to how Facebook announced that they would combat revenge porn.
This also involved users uploading photo(s) of the image they think might be uploaded by a vengeful ex so that Facebook can preempt it before the photo even gets posted. There was some controversy with this solution that Facebook has attempted to address.

It used to be that when you bought a piece of software, that’s all you’d have to pay for it, a one-time upfront fee. However in recent years we’ve started to see more developers shift to a subscription-like model, where users would pay monthly/yearly fees to keep using the software, which in the long run ultimately adds up to more.
This is something that Adobe has been doing with its Creative Cloud program, although the company did continue to offer standalone software to users who didn’t really want a subscription. Unfortunately for users of the standalone version of Lightroom, this is the end as Adobe has released Lightroom 6.14, which is also the final version for the standalone copy of the photo editing software.
According to Adobe, “While you may continue to purchase and use Lightroom 6 with a perpetual license, Adobe will no longer provide updates to the software. Consider upgrading to the Creative Cloud Photography plan to get the latest updates in Lightroom Classic CC and the all-new Lightroom CC, and ensure that the software works with raw files from the newest cameras.”
For hobbyists or amateurs who take photos for fun and non-professional purposes, we suppose this probably won’t hurt them too much, although as DPreview points out, newer camera models might not be supported by the software, plus there might be OS compatibility issues in the future as Microsoft/Apple updates their platforms as well, something to think about if you plan on keeping it.

If you’re looking for some games to play and don’t really want to pay money for it, you’ll be pleased to learn that Ubisoft has decided to make a bunch of its games free. This includes Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed 4, and World in Conflict. However note that these games are only free through Uplay, and will only be available until the 23rd of December, 2017.
As pointed out by VG247, Ubisoft had previously made Watch Dogs free in November, and now it looks like the game will be free to play again, at least while this offer is still valid. That being said, these aren’t necessarily the latest titles from Ubisoft and to a certain extent, some of them might even be considered “old”.
However if you never got around to playing them due to whatever reasons you might have, then now might be a good time to check them out since it won’t cost you a dime, although you will have to download Uplay and download the games through Ubisoft’s platform in order to qualify for it.
The deal will run until the December 23 and ends at 10am UTC, so if you’d like to learn more, you can hit up Ubisoft’s page for the details.
