We’ve seen smart mattresses with dual-zone heating, which is perfectly fine, but it basically amounts to a smartphone-connected electric blanket. But Eight Sleep’s upcoming Pod mattress raises the game with a true, active heating and cooling system.

When you delete your private direct messages on Twitter, it is safe to assume that many would probably assume that they are deleted for good. As it turns out it might not be the case. In a report from TechCrunch, it has been discovered that Twitter actually holds onto old and deleted direct messages for years.
This was initially discovered by security research Karan Saini who found that not only does Twitter not delete old direct messages, but also keeps them even from accounts that have been deactivated or suspended. This means that if you had a Twitter account that you deactivated from years ago, there is a chance that the direct messages you had associated with it could still be kept.
This seems to go against Twitter’s previous claim where they said that when an account had been deactivated, there will be “a very brief period in which we may be able to access account information, including tweets.” Twitter has since responded to the discovery and while they do not acknowledge it, a spokesperson said that the company was “looking into this further to ensure we have considered the entire scope of the issue.”
Clearly this is a pretty huge privacy issue since we naturally assume that delete means delete. It would be a different story if it was an archived message.

Due to the fact that the majority of our electronics are powered by lithium-ion batteries, it carries the risk of the device exploding and catching on fire. For the most part the number of devices exploding and catching on fire is pretty low in the grand scheme of things, but when it happens, it can be disastrous.
Such is the case from back in 2017 where an alleged defective iPad caused a fire resulting in a man dying. Now it seems that the man’s wife has decided to file a lawsuit against Apple for “wrongful death”, “survival action”, and “strict products liability”. Unfortunately details about the cause of the explosion is unclear, so we can’t say for certainty as to what happened or caused the fire apart from what is being alleged in the lawsuit.
However we should point out that to date no iPads have been recalled due to a potential fire hazard, so there is a chance that this could be a one-off incident. Like we said, a lot of our devices run on lithium-ion batteries which carries the risk of such incidents. Samsung is a company well-aware of this problem as the Galaxy Note 7’s exploding batteries did cause a pretty big scandal for the company, although one that they have since managed to recover from.
