Questionable pet parenting aside, we can\u2019t help but wonder why these feeders need a connection simply to function. We ask that kind of question a lot about the Internet of Things.<\/p>\n<p>The second story takes us to the land down under, where Facebook is being called upon to ban links to the Pirate Bay because they may contain malware and endanger users. We then head to Britain, where MI5 is once again beating the drum to weaken encryption.<\/p>\n<input type=\"hidden\" class=\"category_for_banner\" value=\"ksc-gaming\">\n<p>In an interesting twist of fate, our fourth story discusses the EU Commission asking its staff to start using Signal, because of the app\u2019s strong encryption. We take a break from the news to shed some light on Kaspersky\u2019s blockchain voting offering, <a href=\"https:\/\/polys.me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Polys<\/a>. To end this week\u2019s episode, we head back to Europe, where the free Wi-Fi at UK rail stations suffered a bit of a breach.<\/p>\n<p>If you like what you heard, please consider sharing with your friends or subscribing.
