Lenovo AI ThinkPad

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. 

I am just going to sit by the sideline now and watch to see what happens next.

Dropbox Shares Files

If you have Dropbox you might want to review your files and opt out to have your personal files shared with OpenAI servers.

Still, this is a major concern for users especially since they did not opt in for these features.

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.

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.

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.
Now it will be interesting to see what the future holds for most of his companies and if the cash still keeps coming in. Because all that we are seeing lately is a lot of cash just burning up.

Stay tuned and do not be surprised when reality hits Telsa.

Google Location Data

Users may want to think again when it comes to Google privacy concerns. Let's just say that law enforcement can now use this information against you when it comes to prosecution. 

I might re-think the opt-in option feature moving forward.

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. I just want to see how all this is going to connect in the future along with their AI features.

E3 Expo is Over

It looks like increased competition and withdrawal from large publishing partners have put an end to the Expo and all we can hope is that somehow in the future this can be integrated once again.

Costco Selling Starlink

It looks like Costco is quietly selling Starlink to users and we are hoping that in the future cardholders will get a better discount during signup. Right now the cost seems to be similar to when purchasing directly from the company. And I believe as time goes on hopefully other services will be available at better prices.

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. 

Now hopefully it will give thieves a second thought about wanting to steal these pricey devices.

Largest BTC Holders

If you are wondering who is the largest Bitcoin holder, think again but I find it interesting how we have so many regulations for Bitcoin in the US, and still, the US Government is piling up on this so-called useless token.

Seminole Tribe Betting App

Florida is quietly but surely exploding with mobile betting and it will be very interesting to see how far they are willing to go.

It some how looks like the begining of a mini Las Vegas south of the border.

Meta Stops Cross Messaging

I guess is was always too good to be true and without any reason. But I can figure that they are not happy with user attendance now that you can contact users with both platforms.

Ancestry Data Hack

It looks like Ancestry data was hacked and now a list of user profiles are out there and you can bet on it that it's going to be used against them when it comes to identity theft.

OKTA Breach Update

It's worse than we thought it was and even though it affected only 134 customers it was able to get some users names and email addressess. So there are definite going to be targets of phishing campaigns. 
Hopefully these organizations have MFA set up to help protect their customers.

Flight Delay

Interesting site to check out to see when you fly the next time as a passenger what you are entitled to if your baggage is lost or your flight is delayed.

These are the things that the airlines refuse to answer, but you as a consumer are entitled to.

Reset Win 11 Network

If you are curious about how to reset your Windows 11 network settings, then these instructions will help you get reconnected again. At times restarting the computer usually gets it done, but if you want to avoid the restart, then doing this works as well.
