Equifax Pity

It's sad to hear that Equifax recently was hacked. It just confirms that your data is not even safe in the hands of the credit bureau. And to add insult to injury by adding account freezes to combat identity theft and slapped again in the face for using outdated security features that anyone can still hack in matter of seconds. That's already two strikes for Equifax and now I am wondering if the company really has it together or they are just playing the blaming game.
They are the only one's that can really fix their internal problem and for consumers for now. They just have to wait and monitor their credit report daily, weekly or monthly.

D-Link Vulnerability

Looks like this D-Link vulnerability will never be patched and this is a good lesson that consumers should be aware when purchasing D-Link products.
Looks like the vendor refuses to even do the patch updates to fix these holes for this old product and are just telling user's that it's time to replace the unit.
It's so sad that they took that approach and moving forward I am staying away from purchasing any of their future products. It just shows the company poor support on software support.

Apple Security Flaw

Looks like Apple these days are having a lot of flaws in their software and this time user's are warned not to update their OS (macOS High Sierra 10.13.1) without them fixing their password glitch.

Just comes to show you how sloppy Apple programmers and getting when doing patch updates. Did everyone forget what Apple did with iOS11.

These programmers are quick to deploy the software without testing and  quality control. All too similar what Microsoft did back in the days did when they roll out updates.

My suggesting to Apple is to wake up and smell the coffee.

Taxify Coming Soon

Looks like Uber better be ready for competition. This new taxi service is coming from Europe and it might just take down Uber once and for all. It's structured similar to Uber but cheaper and with delivery pickups radius near the area you live.
I just hope Uber concepts stays alive and may the best company win.

Metric System Adaptation

Looks like America is way behind the metric system and their foolishness is causing problems. It not until something devastating occurs that everyone will understand that maybe it's time to upgrade. This should have been done years ago, but no one pushed for it and this is why we still have this problem today.

OneDrive Uninstaller

One this with Microsoft that I learned a long time ago is that you never can trust a company that likes to control what they install on your computer. OneDrive is a great example of that and for those user's who don't use OneDrive and have no use for Microsoft's online folder. Here are the instructions on how to remove. But there is no telling if Microsoft will again try to re-install it's bundled software in future updates.
