Today’s story is about Philips Hue by Signify. They will soon start forcing accounts on all users and upload user data to their cloud. For now, Signify says you’ll still be able to control your Hue lights locally as you’re currently used to, but we don’t know if this may change in the future. The privacy policy allows them to store the data and share it with partners.

    My neighbor bought a wifi enable rat trap the other day. It notifies her when it’s been triggered and send a picture of the cage.

    A fucking rat trap and she felt the need to spend and extra $40 just so she can share her rat infestation data.

      Its important to know exactly when the rats neck gets snapped with screenshots and the exact velocity trajectory of the spring charted on a data plot, otherwise how else would you for sure the trap got the rat at maximum efficency?
