March 4 2022 Link Roundup

Here are some links to interesting articles I found on the web this past week.

Fitbit Recall

The Fitbit Ionic has been overheating and burning people. Please go to the official recall page if you own a FitBit Ionic. Even if the smartwatch/smart tracker has not been heating up or burning you, I would not mess around with this kind of issue. Go and turn it in before you or someone else gets hurt.
