Today's Story Highlights

Sonos Welcomes Devs With Open APIs
Getting Sonos' top-shelf speakers to play nice with other connected
devices in the home has been challenging in the past, but that's about
to change. The company has announced the Sonos Sound Platform, which
includes new APIs, developer tools and documentation to make it easier
for Sonos products to operate with third-party hardware and software.
Sonos also announced integration with IFTTT.

Medical Device Insecurity: Diagnosis Clear, Treatment Hazy
An increasing number of healthcare professionals have become alert to
the need for well-rounded medical device security in recent years, and
players throughout the industry have started putting more effort into
raising the bar. Developers have become aware of the most glaring holes,
and more information security researchers have been brought into the
fold.

To Resist Manipulation, Ask One Question
The level of effort devoted to manipulating our opinions is
unprecedented. Granted, a lot of this has to do with the fact that most
of the "free" online services we use aren't free at all. They are
trading our ability to make measured opinions for advertisers' money,
and some of these "advertisers" are foreign governments. There is one
question we should be asking of any inflammatory story: Why?

Cinnamon Mint for Debian Just as Tasty
The official release of version 3 of Linux Mint Debian Edition hit the
download servers at summer's end, offering a subtle alternative to the
distro's Ubuntu-based counterpart. Codenamed "Cindy," the new version of
LMDE is based on Debian 9 Stretch and features the Cinnamon desktop
environment. Its release creates an unusual situation in the world of
Linux distro competition. Linux Mint developers seem to be in
competition with themselves.

E-Scooters: On a Road to Nowhere
As summer winds die down here's hoping one of the season's most
ridiculous and unnecessary fads goes with them. Bird and Lime e-scooters
are just the latest twist on the foot-powered Razor Scooters that took
America by storm in 2000. Unlike Razor, which introduced electric-power
models back in 2003, Bird and Lime utilize a subscription model instead
of ownership.
