Know when to drink water with the HidrateMe smart water bottle

Sometimes we need tech to remind us of our biological needs. That’s where products like the HidrateMe smart water bottle come in handy. This Kickstarter project is a Bluetooth-enabled bottle that glows when it wants to let you know it’s time to drink water. It’s smartphone app calculates how much water you need to be drinking based on certain personal details, such as weight, age, sex; environmental conditions, such as humidity, temperature, elevation; and if you link it to your fitness apps, your activity level. If you pledge US$45 you can get the HidrateMe Bottle in the color of your choice. The product is expected to ship December of this year.

Wikipedia fortifies encryption to prevent others from tracking your activity

Wikipedia fortifies encryption to prevent others from tracking your activity

What you search on Wikipedia should just be your business. At least, that’s what Wikipedia seems to be telling us as it starts encrypting its web traffic through HTTPS, making it harder for people to track your research. Encryption isn’t exactly new for Wikipedia. The organization has had a manual HTTPS option since 2011 and this always-on policy means you get at least basic level of privacy. And it should somewhat deter censorship-happy governments from blocking facts they don’t want shared.
