Welcome to the Tech Meme Right Home for Tuesday, July 3rd 2018. I'm Brian McCullough.

Today, a big problem with Samsung messages.

Dell comes back to the public markets,

more machinations in the transportation shuffle,

more NSA say shenanigans,

and the 10th anniversary of the App Store.

Here's what you missed so far this week in the world of tech.

Samsung phone owners beware your messages texting app might be randomly

sending photos to people in your contacts list messages is the default texting app on Samsung devices list. surfaced on Reddit and on Samsung's official forums.

One user even saying that it's not just random pictures being sent either, his entire photo

gallery was sent to a contact in the middle of the night.

And this is apparently a really pernicious thing because if your

phone has sent photos to people you might not be able to get any indication that it's

done so until someone tells you about it. In a statement to Gizmodo, Samsung said

quote we are aware of the reports regarding this matter and our technical teams are

looking into it. Concerned customers are encouraged to contact us directly at 1-800 Samsung."

To be clear, this doesn't appear to be happening to everyone, but it does seem to happen more often to owners of late model phones like the Galaxy

Note 8 and Galaxy S9.

One intermediate fix you could try seems to be to go to your phone's app settings and revoke the ability for Samsung messages to access

storage. But until there's an official fix, you might want to proactively delete any photos you wouldn't want someone else seeing

just to be on the safe side.

Dell is going to become a public company once again, but it's not going to be through an IPO.
