How Climb-On Maps is Making Climbing Safer and More Accessible | Digital Trends
Finding climbing routes can be a frustrating process for even the most seasoned of climbers — be it dealing with dangerous walk-offs or fumbling with large guidebooks. After years of not only experiencing this but also hearing from their peers, married couple and avid climbers Rick Momsen and Stefani Dawn decided to create Climb-On Maps . Their idea was to have it pick up where guidebooks and sites like Mountain Project leave off, offering users clear route types, grades, and count per crag. In its physical iteration, it also provides water- and tear-proof, highly detailed maps of approaches and (non-rappel) walk-offs for some of the United States’ most popular climbing areas. About Climb-On Maps Of course, there are other climbing apps like SloperClimbing , Rakkup , and ClimbingWeather built to assist climbers with weather conditions, planning routes, and even GPS navigation . But what about what satellite images can’t see and differing GPS systems? These … [Read more...] about How Climb-On Maps is Making Climbing Safer and More Accessible | Digital Trends
TikTok should be expelled from app stores, senator says | Digital Trends
The wildly popular TikTok app continues to come under pressure from U.S. lawmakers. Many are concerned that ByteDance, the Beijing-based company behind the app, has close ties with the Chinese government, and that laws in China mean it could be required to hand over user data to the government to assist in intelligence gathering. There are also fears that the app’s algorithms could be tweaked to push particular content designed to further Chinese interests. In a letter shared on Thursday, Michael Bennett, a Democratic senator from Colorado, called on the CEOs of Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores at the earliest opportunity. Also a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Bennett said in the letter that no company subject to “Chinese Communist Party dictates should have the power to accumulate such extensive data on the American people or curate content to nearly a third of our population.” Bennett added: “Beijing’s requirement raises the obvious … [Read more...] about TikTok should be expelled from app stores, senator says | Digital Trends
