Earlier it was reported that Facebook apparently decided to delay the launch of their smart speakers due to the current privacy scandal that Facebook has found themselves embroiled in. Now according to a report from The Information (paywall; via Engadget), it seems that Facebook will also be further tweaking the upcoming devices to focus on privacy.
For those learning about this for the first time, it has been previously reported that Facebook was working on a couple of smart speaker-like devices like Amazon’s Echo Show which would come with a display. One of the rumored features is that it would come with facial recognition that would suggest users to make a call when they are near the devices.
Now according to the Information, Facebook will be making some changes to the devices where instead of the video data being sent to servers for processing and storing, Facebook might make it so that it is all stored locally on the device itself. This means that you won’t have to worry about Facebook collecting your data and storing it on its servers.
Speaking to The Information, Electronic Frontier Foundation attorney Jennifer Lynch said, “It would be concerning in my mind if Facebook is designing and releasing a hardware device that uses facial recognition, as they already have one of the largest facial recognition databases in the world. It would allow them to really take their algorithms to a whole new level because it would be scanning people inside the home from all different perspectives.”

Over the years we’ve seen Hasbro’s Monopoly take on several different versions by partnering up with other companies and franchises, such as Star Wars. However if you’re more of a Nintendo fan, you might be interested to learn that Monopoly Gamer: Mario Kart Edition is now available for purchase.
For the most part the game will still play a lot like Monopoly where players will be able to purchase various properties from the Mario Kart series, such as Rainbow Road and Bowser’s Castle, just to name a few. However there will be also the inclusion of a racing element in the game to make it more Mario Kart-like.
This racing event is triggered when players cross the “Go” mark, where players will then compete against each other for a Grand Prix card. There will also be the use of various Mario Kart weapons and items, such as shells and banana peels. At launch the game will feature four racers which includes Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad.
It is also expected that a Power Pack addon will be released later this fall that will bring Bowser, Rosalina, Shy Guy, Metal Mario, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi to the game. Monopoly Gamer: Mario Kart Edition is priced at $25 and will be available via GameStop starting today, and will make its way to more retailers this coming summer.
