Vision Pro Returns
After all the hype on Apple Vision Pro, owners are now returning back their devices and waiting for their refunds. It looks like though even some users were impressed with the device, they are not still comfortable wanting to keep them that long to justify their current costs.
It looks like it's going to maybe take several generations of upgrades for the devices to justify their net worth. I guess it's still not a bad outcome for the development of this new technology.

From state of the art operating rooms, big basements, flight simulators, safe rooms, to underground shooting range, massive fireplace and a shark tank. These bunkers have just about everything you can think of with additional added defenses for security.
You may thing that they may be taking this over the limit, but can you blame them with all the current kaos going around in the world.
2/7/24
Vision Pro & Telsa
Stupid warning for new Apple Vision Pro users who own Tesla's are told not to drive wearing their devices when in a Tesla and using Tesla autopilot. It's a liability clause so that both companies do not get sued.
And if you watch the video you understand why they are doing this.

Bluesky
Ever since Elon Musk purchased Twitter it's been quite a disaster for the so called X aka Twitter. I doubt the company will ever recover and he will be lucky if he can some capital out of the company before it goes under.
Now Bluesky has a big shot on competing with X and shifting it's users from one platform to another. They just need to show their users that's things are better on their end.
It's going to be interesting to see the final outcome of Bluesky and X.

End of Workforce Loyalty
Our new technlogical world is changing the workforce rapidly that things that were normal in the workforce years ago are no longer there. Workforce loyalty is a toss up and down depending on who you talk too.
Companies like Telsa think it's alright to push employee's to the brink of exhaustion only to easily layoff these dedicated workers. Is this right and is this the proper approach.
This article is a must read on Workforce loyalty and could be the end if companies do not make changes.
1/23/24
Why is Tesla Autopilot Ruined
Depending you who talk to, Telsa's autopilot had made it hard for drivers not to pay attention at the road at all times.
I guess with all the current lawsuits, the software being still in some what BETA version because it's not full proof. You cannot blame consumers for feeling that they were mislead.
1/22/24
Big iOS Update Coming

Benz Scource Code Out
It's no surprise for Mercedes-Benz exposing some source code by leaving a private key online with unrestricted access. It's just good practice to have periodic security audits in place to prevent things like this from occurring.
Hopefully this is a wake up call for the company to advance their security concerns, and that they do not get exposed again.
1/19/24
NSA buying US Browsing
It looks like the NSA is buying USA citizens browsing records and sources say that it's legal unless the courts say otherwise.

The EV market is currently exploding and car buyers may think that buying a used EV will be worth it the same way you buy a used car.

I guess for now until things change it's best to purchase directly a new EV until their circumstances change.

Telsa bitter cold
It looks like some Tesla owner's had to be towed during a recent cold spell in the Windy city and some user's even experienced slow charging times at charging stations.
It's too bad that these users did not read their owners manual to keep the charge over 20 percent during the bitter cold. But if you are from the Windy city, then this is expected.
1/10/24
Tesla Battery Lifespan
Telsa owners should be aware of Telsa battery lifespan and let's just say not paying attention to this on a regular basis will cost you dearly if you do plan to keep the car for a long haul.

Malicious Chrome VPN
It looks like this malicious VPN extension from the Chrome web store infected over a million users before it was removed by Google.
This is why Chrome keeps on being proactive to make its browser safer and it will not be the last but as time goes on, malicious software as we know it will in time be hard to install on Chrome users.
12/28/23

12/23/23
ChatGPT & Bard bad at Math
It's kind of funny to think how this state-of-the-art technology using AI is still bad at math. The only thing that I could think of is that the AI technology is mistaking these items for something else.
Once programmers figure this out hopefully the math calculations will get better. I think it's time we teach them a thing or two about math.
12/22/23
Google Password Manager

Although it is a handy feature, you should always be careful about what files you download when using your browsers. As Chrome continues securing itself, hopefully, this will be a thing of the past.
12/19/23
Cybertruck Info
If you are deciding on purchasing a Cybertruck buyers should be aware of the actual cost of the truck. From what the listed price is shown it looks like the final receipt is coming down to paying more than some users anticipated and then there are accessories.
You also have to take into account the long waiting period which now is 18 months and it's going to be longer depending on the list of orders that are placed.
So you might rethink 18 months from now if you really want to be driving.

Art Investing
Here is a pretty ordinary way to invest in art, they select the artist and purchase the art and then you just invest in the masterpiece, get proceeds for 3 to 10 years and you can sell your shares before they sell the art.
Unsure of what's going to happen to those users who are unable to sell their shares before the sale but it hopefully makes you passive income.
12/15/23
Telsa Repair Problem
If you are thinking of buying a Tesla I would think again until they resolve this ongoing suspension and steering problem. The company has long been aware of this and they still feel like it's not their responsibility to make this right with consumers.
It's kind of ridiculous and they should be ashamed, this can be a costly repair for many consumers and the manufacturer should take full responsibility. I am hoping more consumers fight back.
12/14/23
Elon Gamble
For a few years, Elon Musk has been on a hot streak and now it looks like the tides are changing and his luck may be just running out.

MS Team Changes
It looks like Microsoft is replacing file apps in Teams without having users make much effort by linking it with the OneDrive app. The new management is going to make it easy to save and get access to these files going forward.

12/8/23
iOS Stolen Device Protect
Apple is now moving forward with its device protection software to deter iPhone-increasing thefts. It's going to definitely be a game changer for thieves moving forward as long as the user features are enabled.

Pi for iPhone
iPhone users have a bunch of AI tools that they can use and the Pi app is definitely one of them.

I guess this user is never going to make that mistake again.

A few years ago Apple was exploring 3G theory connectivity to its Macbook but abandoned the plans because of space and processing chip. Their thinking was just too advanced for the technology but if they could integrate a wireless modem into chips the laptops would have better connectivity.

Now let's see if their dreams can be accomplished.
