The EU Council has agreed to the EU Copyright Directive which includes provisions designed to make websites liable for uploads in certain instances, and limits on what snippets websites may display from news organizations without seeking a license.

The directive now goes to committee and then on to an EU parliament vote in March or early April.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports his sources say Apple's project Marzipan aims to let developers build an app once and run on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Starting later this year a new developers kit will let people port iPad apps to Mac. By 2020 iPhone will be added to the kit. By 2021 the kit can merge the three ports into one binary so they won't need to be submitted to each store separately. Apple will likely announce details at its developers conference which takes place June 3 through June 7.
Google announced earlier in February that the Nest Guard, the hub of the Nest Secure system, would get an update adding support for Google Assistant. That was a surprise since the Nest Guard, which came out in September 2017, apparently came with a microphone built in that nobody knew about and was not listed by Google in the specs. Google says it was a mistake not to list it and the mic was never activated and users would have to turn it on themselves in settings. The mic was originally included in anticipation of future updates that would allow things like detecting the sound of broken glass.
Garmin, makers of navigation devices and smart watches, reported a strong Q4 and forecast full-year revenue and profit above expectations. While car nav fell 28 percent, sales of marine navigation remained strong. And sales of Garmin's ADS-B based products for broadcasting a plane's position rose in advance of US regulations requiring the devices in planes by 2020. Garmin's sales of smartwatches to outdoor enthusiasts rose 25 percent.

that heart rate smart toilet could be really valuable in an old people's homes or in hospital wards where the information is valuable but getting people hooked up to get readings is hard. also not commonly brought up at the dinner table is how frequent and volume and type of bowel movements can be important. so seems like a really smart idea to get where people universally seem happy to expose their skin already.
