Weird things happen in big cities, and as one of the biggest, New York City is like a petri dish of bizarre happenings. The latest, and perhaps best, example of this comes in the form of a heap of discarded chicken, um, material, which littered a Brooklyn street late last week.

The tale of this chicken apocalypse has two parts. First, Sara Vilkomerson, who works on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, posted a video shot in the Boerum Hill neighborhood showing a street littered with bloody chicken bits. It wasn’t clear how they got there, or when the video was shot, but Jalopnik decided to follow up and check out the scene first hand.

Facebook says it might start hiding like counts in a desperate bid to keep users happy

The symbol most closely associated with the largest social network in the world, other than that of the app that launches it on mobile devices, is a thumbs-up that designates a “like.” It’s a universally recognized sign of approval for Facebook posts which has been so integral to the service’s experience pretty much since its inception, for both good and ill. As time as gone on, more attention has been paid to the effect that chasing likes and addiction to social media has on peoples’ health, which is why Facebook-owned Instagram has been experimenting with hiding like counts on posts from everyone but the user. The thinking is that there’s no longer any reason to preen and posture for social media approval when no one can see your like counts anyway.

Facebook, meanwhile, is reportedly close to launching a similar test, no doubt chastened by users spending less and less time on the platform and in some cases abandoning it altogether. Could this be the kind of thing that keeps at least some of them around?

$%name Android 10 release date for every Pixel leaked by mobile carrier by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

In anticipation of the final Android Q rollout, Google surprised the world a few days ago with a massive branding makeover. Dessert names have been abandoned in favor of numbers, and Android Q shall be known as Android 10 going forward. There will also be a new logo and font to go along with the name.

A Google customer service rep then told customers that all Pixel phones launched to date would get the final Android 10 update in early September. Soon after that, a similar leak came out of OnePlus, which indicated that it’s looking to update some of its phones to Android 10 on the same day the Pixels get the release. This brings us to the latest leak, which tells us the same thing: Android 10 is coming this week.

China’s lunar rover found a bizarre and unexpected substance on the Moon

China’s space program started the year strong by performing a soft landing on the far side of the Moon. It was a first for the country, and for mankind as a whole, and while the Yutu-2 rover the lander delivered to the lunar surface wasn’t as feature-packed as the robots NASA sends to Mars, it still returned some interesting findings.

Now, as Space.com reports, researchers have revealed a particularly bizarre and totally expected discovery made possible by the rover. The robot apparently stumbled upon a tiny crater that contained material of an unusual color and consistency. The material, which is described as being “gel-like” is now forcing scientists to come up with an explanation as to its origins.

New OnePlus 7T leak shows off cheaper model’s redesign once again

In recent years, virtually every flagship smartphone has leaked in full weeks ahead of launch, from the iPhone X to the Galaxy Note 10. By the time the phone is actually unveiled, we know almost everything there is to know about it, including its design from top to bottom. But for some reason, the OnePlus 7T leaks continue to contradict each other, even as we inch ever closer to its official reveal, leaving us guessing about the final design.

Last month, we shared a leak from prolific leaker @OnLeaks (via PriceBaba) which showed off the purported design for the OnePlus 7T. The renders were surprising because the rear camera array had been completely redesigned, as OnePlus opted for a circular module housing with three lenses lined up horizontally.

There’s still a few weeks to go before Samsung’s newest wearable, the Galaxy Watch Active 2, will go on sale in the US, something Samsung confirmed last month about the device — which will also go on sale this Friday in South Korea, the same day, incidentally, that Samsung will supposedly release its first foldable smartphone.

Regarding the watch, we already knew that the wearable would be lacking the Apple Watch 4’s best features at launch. However, a new report confirms that the Active 2, which will include a digital rotating bezel, will add the ability to detect when its user has fallen as well as an ECG feature in the first quarter of 2020.

Sophisticated iPhone malware specifically targeted China’s Uyghur Muslims

$%name Sophisticated iPhone malware specifically targeted China’s Uyghur Muslims by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Late last week, security researchers from Google’s Project Zero team provided us with fascinating details regarding a sophisticated exploit targeting iPhone users. The exploit itself relied upon a number of 0-day vulnerabilities and, somewhat curiously, indiscriminately installed malware on any device that happened to visit an infected website.

Once installed, the malware would collect a user’s photos, private messages, passwords, and even send GPS location data in real-time. Initially, the Project Zero team didn’t mention who was behind the malware or who it targeted, save for a cryptic message that it may have been designed to target a specific ethnic group.
