FACEBOOK SECURITY UPGRADE

If you’ve been on Facebook for a while, chances are you’ve use you’ve tried and abandoned quite a few apps. Facebook apps can be useful and fun, but they also have permission to do all sorts of things with your info.

For the apps you use regularly and trust, that’s not a big problem, but if you’ve got a lot of apps that you tried once and then stopped using or forgot about, that could turn into a problem one day.

The good news is, Facebook now lets you bulk remove third-party apps, and any and all posts those apps may have published on your behalf, a welcome privacy change that should make it easier to strip access to your profile from services you no longer use.

This update is coming few weeks after Facebook was accused of violating user privacy by data privacy scandal linked with data analytics firm Cambridge analytical (CA). The bulk removal tool could make it much easier for users to take control of their data and protect their identity, though the damage to Facebook’s reputation is largely done.

How Can I Bulk Remove Third Party Apps From Facebook?

Go to the Facebook settings if you are on desktop
Click on Apps and you’ll see all the third party apps connected to your Facebook account.

3. Click on any number of the apps you’d like to disconnect, and use the remove button at the top of the screen to do so

4. You’ll also be given a prompt to delete all posts those apps may have posted to your timeline / profile. Hit the delete button and you are good to go.

For Mobile:

>>Click on the three horizontal lines on the navigation bar at the bottom and scrolling down to settings. From there, head to the Apps section.

Facebook further says that it will now remove apps automatically if a user hasn’t accessed them in over three months.

EcoFlow Burst PowerBank (for Phones,Laptops and Even Your Car)

EcoFlow burst onto the scene last year with a $1 million crowdfunding campaign for its portable and, fresh from announcing $4 million in new investment, the U.S.-China company is back with its second product: a mobile charger. Follow-up acts are always hard, especially when the first product was a runaway hit beyond initial expectations, but the company is opting to tackle a problem that will appeal to many, staying powered on the go. River Bank — today’s new addition — takes the concept of the portable mobile phone charger and super-sizes it with a power bank that can handle phones, laptops, cameras and even jump-start a car. Two of the main issues with regular mobile power banks are the days-long battery life between in each charge and that they can’t be taken on planes. While I’m not sure I need The River Bank, the fact it holds its charge for a year, covers more than just phones, and can be taken on planes — that stands out from the competition and makes it pretty da

New Gmail Total Makeover

Gmail is rolling out the biggest makeover since 2011! Asides from the mild design change: You also get a couple of cool features. One of my favorites is: Confidential mode Personally, this is the biggest addition so far! The new Gmail now sports a confidential mode that makes it possible to set an expiry date on emails or better still make them disappear! Now, if you have something sensitive you plan on sending in an email but are also worried about it surfacing 20 years from now, well, you can click on the lock icon at the bottom of an email to turn on Confidential mode. Did I mention that this feature also prevents people from copying, forwarding, downloading and printing the emails you send them? Google Apps Integration Another addition is the ability to access Google apps— like Calendar— from the side panel of the web version Snooze that email! This little feature would let you archive, delete, mark as unread or snooze an email by just hovering over them Reminders
