Keep privacy by changing AirDrop settings

Here’s a quick tip for you: set your AirDrop’s settings to “Contacts Only” to avoid having anyone near you send you files that might be offensive or otherwise. The Verge writer Josh Lowensohn demonstrated how easily you can send files through AirDrop. He sent AirDrop photos of sloths wearing spacesuits to commuters on a train in San Francisco. Of course, curiosity got to them and the file was downloaded by some. While his trick was harmless, imagine what others can do with this feature. So, it’s best you turn AirDrop’s setting off or to “Contacts Only.” You can do so by heading to the control center and clicking on the AirDrop icon.

HealthKit app Deadline tells you when you’re going to die

There’s nothing like a visual reminder of your impending death to keep you on your toes or creep you out immensely. A new HealthKit app for iOS 8 called Deadline is designed to let you know when you’re supposed to bite the dust. It makes use of a short quiz and HealthKit functionality to let you know when you’re supposed to die. It uses your answer and HealthKit information to calculate a generic algorithm for your death. It even has a timer that counts down to your death, which you can turn into a widget on your screen (if this is your kind of thing). Morbidness aside, it’s the kind of thing we’d need to remind us that life is short and we better get some living done.
