E-bikes are changing the way we get around cities, but they are usually bulky, heavy affairs that are even less friendly to trains and cabs than a regular bike.

Last September, OnePlus told us it’s planning to launch a smart TV in 2019. According to the company’s announcement in August, it’ll unveil the TV in India later this month and it’ll be called the OnePlus TV (shocking!).

Just when you probably thought you’d seen it all, scammers are now selling discounted hacked cash in exchange for Bitcoin on the dark web. According to security firm Armor’s 2019 Black Market report, released this month, savvy criminals are selling cash on the dark web to avoid the risks associated with having to deal with the funds themselves. The report says this alarming trend gives buyers the chance to buy cash in various amounts – $10,000, $5,000, $2,500 – and all they have to do is prepay the criminal their 10-to-12 percent fee in Bitcoin and provide them with a…

Whether data is used for creepy targeted advertising or bought or sold to third-parties, it’s clear many companies and hackers don’t have our best interests in mind. In fact, according to IMDEA Networks Institute, seven in ten smartphone apps share your data with third-parties these days. And just recently, 14…
