There are plenty of very good reasons Facebook users should be extremely skeptical of the information the social media platform collects about them following years of data and privacy scandals. But even as the company continues to push its “transparency” narrative, many of its users still do not understand how their…

Dating apps have modernized the way of dating, whereas in the past you usually would need to talk to someone to find out more about them, such as shared interests, and so on. However with dating apps, a lot of that information is readily available at a glance, where users can lists their likes, dislikes, hobbies, and so on.
According to an initial report from MSPowerUser (via TechCrunch), it seems that Tinder is testing out new ways of communicating with your matches in chat by sharing music clips from Spotify. This seems to be an expansion of a previous feature which allowed users to showcase the top artists on their profile. Tinder had previously stated that music can be a powerful signal in terms of attraction, which was why they had included that feature back then.
In a way it makes sense, where if you come across someone who shares the love of the same artist with you, it makes you more interested in getting to know them. Now by giving users the ability to share music clips, it gives users more things to talk about with each other beyond the usual topics.
However users won’t be able to share full songs and only 30-second clips. Tinder has since confirmed that they are testing the feature in a statement that reads, “Users love connecting over shared tastes in music. In fact, users who update their ‘Anthem’ are most likely to start a conversation via Feed. With this in mind, we’re testing the ability to share music with a match while chatting on Tinder.”

Most of us didn’t get the limited edition Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 self-lacing shoes when the came out in 2017. Well, now we have another chance. Nike recently unveiled a new version that is more advanced, and thankfully, more affordable. They are called Nike Adapt BB, and they are perhaps the most technologically-advanced sets of footwear ever made.
Like their predecessors, they’re capable of mechanically tightening onto your feet. However, the HyperAdapt 1.0 used physical buttons to lace up the shoes, but with the Nike Adapt BB, users can fine-tune the fit using their smartphone. Now that is a little more futuristic. Each shoe has a custom motor and gear train that senses the tension needed on the foot and adjusts accordingly.
Nike says the underfoot lacing on these basketball shoes is able to pull 32 pounds of force. You can adjust the settings using the app on the fly; or even on the Marty McFly. The app will remember how tight or loose you prefer your laces in different situations like warm-ups, gameplay, or resting. Another neat feature is how they charge – using a wireless charging mat.
These Nike Adapt BB App-enabled Self-lacing Shoes will be available on February 17, 2019, at 10:00AM EST for $350. That is less than half of what the HyperAdapt 1.0 cost when they came out. Pretty sweet.

That said, we’re just at the start of innovation in this area and we might see more in the months ahead. And kicking off that next generation of … Continue reading
