Chrome Protection

Chrome now is enabling real-time protection to safe guard users from going to dangerous sites that can get them viruses or malware.

This is the standard for other browsers as well and hopefully this will safe guard consumer protection.

Let's hope they continue this process for years to come moving forward.

Sci-Fi Reality Inventions

It's amazing to believe on how these out of the world technologies became reality with the mindset that anything is possible. 

So the next time you see a Sci-Fi movie remember this, if you can believe then you can make it possible.

Here is a flashback on items that came to reality.

AI Regulation

Everyone knew when AI came out it was only a matter of time before some technology regulation came into effect and the EU looks like is leading the way that other countries will eventually follow.

Since AI is currently in the wild west it would make sense to have some type of protection to citizens and how the tech giants complies to these rules.

It's only a matter of time before the EU start's slapping fines to these tech giants for rushing to create AI applications without filters.

Wendy's airdrop

It looks like fast food Wendy's has begun using drones with DoorDash testing out the service to some lucky residents in Virginia. 

If all goes as planned it's definitely going to change food delivery service as we know what it is today. Not only will it revoluntionize the industry but open doors to instant deliveries.

I can't wait to start seeing this in my area. 

3/22/24

Neuralink Info

It's a futuristic idea with a high risk when you talk about implanting a chip to a human brain. Kind of reminds me of a hollywood movie called "The Lawnmover Man" with Pierce Brosnan. 

The sifi movie had similar futuristic ideas similar to what Neuralink is doing.

Now it's beyond me who would want to risk brain damage but Elon's goal is not to to save paralyzed volunteers but somehow incorporate it with AI and this is when it get's scary.

Now I already know how the movie ends and maybe you too should watch the movie too. 

3/21/24

HP Rental Info

HP recently started it's printer rentals and if you want them to manage the hardware and ink supplies it might be a service that you are looking for but here is the catch.

Their privacy is a nightmare and your personal data could be at risk. The more you read into the service the more concerns you should have about your privacy.

So I would caution users who subscribe to read their contract carefully and understand that whatever you are going to print is going to be in my terms public domain. 


3/20/24

FCC Quad Band

It looks like the FCC has increased broadband speed to 100Mbps. And hopefully it will only be a matter of time before the internet providers provide this access to all their users. 

Hopefully now with the new speed it will give users the oportunity to cut their cords and subscribe to all sorts of internet services. 

3/19/24

TikTok Ban Coming

It looks like we got again another TikTok ban and this time if Bytedance does not sell it's going to be very interesting to see how American's react to the new law.

It could definitely challenge everyone's constitution right on what the government can and cannot control. 


3/18/24

Copilot Update

Copilot is going to get a free GPT-4 Turbo upgrade and it's going to be free. With more info, more pages in a single prompt and improved performance. 

It's going to definitely be something to compete against and I just cannot wait to see with Copilot's competitors do next. 

3/17/24

Palm Size Drone

Let's just say that the military is getting advanced with this Black Hornet drone. It's going to innovate how teams are deployed into the battlefield by having another set of eye's map out areas of uncertainty. 

It's definitely a game changer and will change the future of warefare.

Video Doorbells Hacked

It looks like a list of vendors who sell video doorbells can easily be hacked. And those home owners who were trying to protect their homes now have another threat to worry about. 

I would suggest that users be very cautious when buying security devices for your home. 


3/15/24

HughesNet Loss

It's no secret that satellite provider HughesNet is losing subcribers with the popularity of Starlink. I guess customers are starting to piece together old technology with new technology and Starlink does make a difference when it comes to download speeds. Take a look at the comparision and see who is better.

Now if HughesNet does not catch up, it's definitely going to go under very quickly. 


3/14/24

Project Kuiper

It's looks like Starlink is not the only company trying to connect the entire world via broadband. Amazon is currently testing hundreds of prototype dishes to do the same.

Hopefully both companies will be smart enought to form an alliance to connect the world and then figure out how to compete against each other. You can accomplish more and bring down the costs with unity.

Apple Car Failure Update

The truth comes out from former Apple employee's who worked on the Apple Car and why the research and developement team failed to deliver.

Besides going to four team leaders and different ideas of what the car should be, the project looks like it was going in circles on what type of vehicle it should be.

It's no wonder Apple dumped the project all together. Maybe as time passes on, some of it's ideas can be incorporated into their products. Only time will tell. 

3/12/24

Lenovo Transparent Laptop

All that I can say is that it's out there and it's going to be a beauty to see these devices perform in the real world with AI. I feel like your it's not going to be that great security wise since everyone can see what you are doing but I am amazed to see what other manufactures are going to do now that this has come out.


3/11/24

Siri Can Do This

If you have an iPhone here are some tricks that Siri can do for you just in case you did not know. You will be surprised on how easily things can be done if you know these simple commands with Siri.

If you play nice with Siri then it will do more than you can imagine. 

3/10/24

Facial Smart Locks

I can see this company definitely going places with it's smart lock that can recognize your face. This high end technology has been out for sometime and now it's affordable to anyone who want to secure their homes. 

Imagine living in a world where your access is granted by your face, how precious that can be. 

3/9/24

Apple EV Cancellation

It looks like after going back and forth Apple is scapping for now it's autonomous electric car. It's no surprise that building something like this takes massive expertise to get to the end result. 

This is not for everyone and maybe it's just better to look into some other type of project that will benefit them better.  

3/8/24

ChatGPT Tax Filing No No

I never even thought about this but with AI hitting all types of markets it's no surprise someone would want to try ChatGPT to do their taxes.

Along with that here are some great examples why not to do that and first most is hackers. It's right now the wild west for AI and ChatGPT is just not ready to safe guard your information.

So before you decide to use ChatGPT for your personal finance, read this. 

3/7/24

Google Pay Sunset

It looks like Google is shutting down Google Pay in June. The application that was replaced by Google Wallet is being cosolidated. It's only a matter of time before Google Wallet becomes the standard for everyone to use. 

3/6/24

X Audio & Calls Rollout

It looks like X aka Twitter will be rollingout audio and video calls for users and it put's them in straight competition with Meta's messenger chat features.

It's going to be interesting getting calls from users using X. 

3/5/24

Solar Eclipse Coming

Next month the solar eclipse is happening on April 8, 2024 and so many user's can watch the breath taking moment others are also recommending purchasing the eclipse glasses. 

Now I would be very cautious during the viewing since it can definitely affect you vision. 


3/4/24

No rice on iPhones

A while back some users mentioned that if your iPhone was to get wet your best bet was to use rice to save the phone. Now they are saying that this might not be a good idea.

I guess Apple's recommendations seems better for now until the myth is put to the test. 

3/3/24

Elon Twitter Input

An analyst is piecing together the real reason's why Elon Must purchased Twitter and if you really narrow it down he could have a point and if this analyst is correct. Then you are definitely going to see xAI explode when it does come out of closed doors.

Win 11 Update News

It looks like news is getting out that Windows 11 users who upgrade to version 24H2 coming in October will not be happy if they do the upgrade. It's said that it will not boot on old computers.

Let's just say it's just another way for Microsoft to force users to buy a new computer.

Manage Paid Subscriptions

Have a lot of paid subscriptions and wish it can be managed better. Take a look at these cools sites that keep you informed when prices changes, due dates are coming up, bill negotiation and subscription cancellation. 

In this day an age you have to alway be on top of your bills so that your service is not cancelled and you do not become deliquent.

CyberTruck Flaw

It looks like Telsa's new Cybertruck has a flaw and it's becoming very popular among most of it's current owners. It looks like the truck outer body is causing stains on the vehicle.

It's definitely not a good sign for the EV car manufacture and if the company does not resolve this quickly I am almost certain that consumers will look elsewhere when it's time to purchasing a new EV.

Let's see how the stains play out as more adopters get a hold of their new delivery vehicles.

Should I Shutdown

My answer will always be yes, unless you a savvy technician who always feels the need to always be connected and continue where they left off every hour of the day.

So if you are not on the computer on every hour of the day, then I would suggest you just shut it down to save power and prevent mishaps. It's pointless leaving the device on if you tend not to use it daily. 

2/26/24

Norway EV adoption

I believe that we have it all wrong when it comes to EV adoption and Norway is good proof of this. Ever since the early 90's this country has been doing almost everything possible to start EV adoption like offerring no taxes on zero emission vehicles, free parking, use of bus lanes and no tolls. 

Besides users buying more EVs, gas pumps and parking meters are being upgraded by chargers. It's the ultimate auto revolution occurring quickly in this country and if anyone want's to make a difference creating incentives is the key to adoption. 

I strongly believe Norway will achieve it's goal and be a major role model for other countries to follow. 

2/25/24

iOS iMessage Update

It looks like Apple is doing a massive security update to it's messaging software with advanced security. This is definitely going to secure all users messages moving forward and it's going to be harder to decrypt messages if they get into the wrong hands.

I wonder if the federal government is happy about this new update? 

For those that do not know, the feds just a few years ago were pleading with Apple to give them access to their software and Apple refused. 

2/24/24

At&t Outage

At&t recent outage was not a cyberattack but as they say a technical error but an application and execution of an incorrect process.

Canada Bans Flipper

It was only a matter of time before the Flipper would be banned and I can see this powerful tool definitely causing security problems where ever you go, but this is still a remidial device compared to other devices that consumers should be concerned with. 

Instead Canada should enforced their car manufactures to safe guard consumer goods. 

2/21/24

X Fake Online Traffic

Recently X aka Twitter reported that it's users post and video's were rising, and after review from a third party it looks like it was fake. 

Information like this is no surprise from a company that's still sinking and user use is jumping ship. But it's nothing new in the world of Elon Musk.

I would guess now would be a good time to rehire the thousands of employee's that he laid off. 

2/20/24

MS Publisher Support End Date

It looks like Microsoft if pulling the plug for support to Publisher in 2026 and plans on integrating the software to it's other office applications. 

Microsoft is definitley slimlining it's software and in the future you are going to see more of this happening to it's other main products as well. It makes sense, saves space and will be easier to use.

Google Drive Replacement

Here is another story on how users are trying to cut costs by using third party platform to store the content and if you do not mind your stuff being all around the web it's not such a bad idea at all.

Microsoft was thought by many that it would be released this year a new OS running Windows 12 but this looks like it's not the case and instead they are just going to do a major big overhaul in the Windows 11 24H2 update with more AI functions. 

I guess we are just going to have to wait another year to hear what they will be ready to roll out Windows 12.

It's still in testing and and in small numbers but as it becomes more popular it will reach broader public.

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.

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.

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.

This is definitely going to be a game changer for laptop users once AI is incorporated into the device. 
It's going to change the things we already are used to and it might just revolutionize laptops as we currently know it.
