MS Google Alternative
Microsoft is doing a lot of new tricks to get users to switch to Bing, but it's just getting awkward and tiring for many users.
This is nothing new for Microsoft and they should first keep on focusing on making their browser number one again before trying to convince users to switch over to Bing.
9/3/23
Apple Maps
It looks like Apple Maps palette is causing a lot of attention and it looks like Google Maps is showing similarities.
Let's hope the new colors do not confuse some users, since it does take some time to get use to, especially if your a Google Maps user.
9/2/23
Chrome AI Summaries
Chrome will soon offer AI-generated text summaries of articles and this is certainly going to be interesting to see when you browse. I am hoping that it will simplify my everyday reading habbits.

8/30/23

Everything on this laptop is upgradeable and it's amazing on how simple you can upgrade the device.
8/29/23
Viral Theft
Two companies are being sued for failing to install engine immobilizers in their vehicles. The hack was shown viral on social media and has led to a whole sorts of lawsuits.
It's unclear why the manufacturers chose not to address the problem that still exists today. Do they believe this is just going to go away.
8/28/23
Firefox Chrome Import
Firefox is now allowing imports from Chrome extensions and has plans to open it up for others as well. It's a great move so that you can easily have access when migrating or using other browsers.
Let's hope other browsers continue this model moving forward for their users.
8/27/23
PS Plus Hike
It looks like gamers should prepare themselves for the PlayStation Plus subscription hike and this hike is a pretty big jump when compared to its competitors.
I guess inflation is catching up with Sony and it's passing it on to it's consumers.
8/26/23
Temp Number by Hushed
Here is a smart way to give out a temp number when subleasing an apartment, condo, or house. You can also use this for other things so that you can always keep your phone private. It's a great way to have a number available when you need it and then make it go away when all is done.

Disney Password Sharing Ends
You could have seen this coming right after Netflix made a major change. Password sharing online future is ending and consumers should not get upset that they can no longer share their accounts with family and friends.
8/21/23
Google Cams
I have been a Nest customer for some years and find it upsetting to finally have to say goodbye to the product because Google could not get their act together.
After years of back and forth, they finally got the product to work as it should and now trying to replace it with something less inexpensive and pointless.
Maybe if they had stayed focused when they acquired Nest, it could have been something amazing. It's a few years too late and they should just call it quits for good. The competition already has an advantage.
8/20/23
Google Code Points SOS
It looks like Android is following Apple's trend to create a free SOS emergency service similar to Apple's emergency SOS.
It's about time and I am excited to see a quick adaptation to a service that can save anyone in case of an emergency.
8/19/23

8/18/23

If you are looking for Mail Merge in Gmail, note that this feature is available only to subscribers. With a limit of 2,000 outgoing mails.

This application is a must for network administrators and it's going to be interesting for the future outlook on how other applications are going to easily integrate with it.
8/15/23
8/14/23
FBI Ransomware Investigation
Hackers should be aware that now the Feds are investigating the ransomware attack that shut down emergency rooms in several states and let's just say that little game they're playing might just catch up with them because now they are crossing the lines when it comes to public safety.
I always say, karma always comes back and you might just not like it when the tables are turned.
8/13/23
Apple Moving Hang up Icon
It looks like Apple is planning to move the hang-up button on the iPhone to a different location and it sort of make sense because the button can easily hang up your call while holding the phone.
8/12/23

Get ready for the last year of doing paper taxes, the IRS is preparing itself to go paperless by next season, and you can say goodbye to pay stubs, receipts, and government forms moving forward.

8/10/23
Printer Discarding
If you are discarding a printer it's a good idea to manually wipe the WiFi settings for your printer so that users do not get access to your network.
It's a simple thing to do and it's so easy for hackers to get valuable information from you by not being careful. So before you throw it out, confirm that it's not in any way tied to you.
8/9/23
Renting Clothes
Luxury fashion can be expensive so why buy your clothes when you can just easily rent them. This path lets you get designer clothes and it does not stop there.
8/8/23

8/7/23
8/6/23
8/5/23
Apple 999 Calls
It looks like the Apple Watch has a flaw that you can accidentally activate to sound an alarm and call emergency services.
I guess Apple did not test the new update carefully and they should be held liable for flaws like this so that they can get their act together.
8/4/23
When Branding Goes Wrong
Twitter or X recent name change is a good a example of when branding goes wrong. The last minute changes, the confusing webpages and the reference to search Twitter when a name change took place just looks awful and this is the reason why when companies change their names, there is a process and procedure that many individauls need to abide by so that everything reflects the new name.
8/3/23
Amazon Surveillance
It's no surprise to see Amazon employees posting videos taken from their in-van surveillance cameras. The company has for years violated a lot of privacy policies.
I believe the only way the company is going to adhere to employee rights is to unionize and have some representation for all those employees who still work with the company and feel violated.
I believe the only way the company is going to adhere to employee rights is to unionize and have some representation for all those employees who still work with the company and feel violated.
8/2/23
Copilot Ouch
If Microsoft thinks that paying $30- per user extra a month for Copilot will be an easy adoption, think again. This could definitely delay early adopters for sure and regardless that it's going to be a game changer, it's a hefty price for big business.
8/1/23
GitHub Copilot Chat AI now in BETA
The long-awaited software from Microsoft is now in BETA and I am going to enjoy seeing how this turns out in the long for users, businesses, etc.

7/29/23
Useless Car Tech
It looks like a lot of users are no longer using their car's native controls and continue using their smartphones as mirroring devices. It makes sense since smartphone technology keeps on advancing with new features that make it easier for users to connect and control what they want to do when traveling.
This could be a new game changer for automakers if users keep on adapting to this method.
7/28/23
Telsa One-Time Transfer
If you have a Telsa and already purchased a self-driving package you can now transfer the package to a new vehicle but you still have to do it before the deadline and new car delivery date.

7/27/23

If you ever get this error from your Organization what it means is that your company can be using Microsoft Intune and they enabled the digital security of copy and pasting of materials on their mobile devices also known as DLP.

It looks like Twitter's users will soon be tweeting out, the social media company is now limiting the number of posts users can view per day.
Now I do not know whose bright idea was this but this is definitely the beginning of the end of Twitter as we know it.
In a time of rising interest rates, inflation, and job loss, people are having difficulties staying afloat, how can you even consider paying a price to post when other other social platforms are free. This is a no-brainer for Twitter users to jump ship and I am not alone on this theory.
7/2/23

Microsoft is going a long way with Intune and I must admit that as time goes by the application just keeps on getting better and better.

6/30/23
Apple Vision Pro Failure
Even though it's a great device here are some reasons why they believe this device may fail. Unfortunately, unless they can resolve some of the ongoing problems that they now have, it's going to be a while before consumers even entertain the idea of purchasing this device.
I am excited that Apple took this approach but I am hoping other manufacturers put their minds together and figure out a solution to make the fantasy a reality.
