Metaverse

It's here and its quickly changing things and it's what the future is promising. It's only a matter of time before someone puts the pieces together and makes it a reality.

Fake 2FA App

Android users need to be on full alert of this fake two-factor authentication app from the Google Play store. This extremely dangerous malware is designed to steal bank credentials. 

Even though the app has been removed this is the beginning of the next generation of malware to come.

Lenovo Productivity Laptop

Lenovo came up with a laptop that has a second screen and it looks like a laptop with a tablet. Now it's kind of strange but it will be great for photoshop and adding more details to your documents, so it's definitely an out of the box item.

Apple should have thought of this idea long ago.

Tesla Mining Rig

Its amazing on what lengths people will take to make passive income. In the long run this owner will continue to reap profits beyond the cars total value, so in some cases it's worth the expense.

I feel that todays mining rigs still consume to much power and hopefully someone sooner or later will put all the pieces to the puzzle together to create an energy efficient mining rig. Kudos to this owner.

Popcorn is Dead

It looks like this pirate site that was popular with many users has shut down and this time it may be for good. Since things are changing rapidly for cord-cutters the interest is no longer there and since there are other ways to get content the site became obsolete. 

It was good while it lasted and it paved the way for other services to offer free content.

Grinch Bots

Lawmakers are now considering banning shopping bots that buy up online products and then resell them for higher prices on third party sites like eBay and Amazon.

Microsoft New Updates

It looks like Microsoft now is changing its update rules and soon updates will be done once a year. This will be a great solution for system administrators who need to constantly keep Windows updated. 

And I guess this will give them a good reason to want to upgrade to the new version to get the latest features. 

2/8/22

New Phone & Tablet rules

 It looks like Phone and Tablet makers are being forced to update their devices. The new law will only protect Europe but if passed it could change policies around the world forcing manufactures to allow the devices to get updates for up to seven years. 

So hopefully when you then go out and buy an outdated product, the manufacture will have to continue updating the device for seven years. 

Let's hope that everything passes and consumers get their money's worth.

The WD19 started looking better than the old model but recently they just stop working from one day to the next. 

I just hope one day they see the light because I just cannot understand why their docking station has so many problems.
