The application is designed to work with Bluetooth tracking software made possibe by third- party vendors. 

Here is more information about the application and I would advise users to install it as soon as possible just in case.

Russia Starlink Access

It looks like Russian's are using the Starlink network dishes for a counterattack against Ukraine and regardless of the legality they are being used for illegal purposes.

I am unsure how Starlink plans to restrict access but one thing is for sure is that it is definitely keeping this terminals active.

Elon's Worst Predictions

As a forecaster pridicting the future is a tough job and if you are Elon Musk well let's just say he has an unrealistic reality when it comes to timing. If he would just choose his words carefully he would be a true believer. But that's not likely to happen any time soon and it's just another broken promise. 

Time is running out for Elon and if he does not get his act together, he is just going to be another voice in the wind.

TikTok Count Down Begins

It's going to be roller coaster ride for this social media company once the lawmakers force ByteDance to sell again. This is not the first time the company has been under scrutiny and this time around it will be interesting to see who is still interesting on buying the company.

Google Forms UPI Payments

Now taking payments can easily be done using a UPI QR Code with Google Forms. This is opening the door to easier payment options for users when it's time for purchasing.

There is so many different options that this can open up and I just hope that it gets even easier going forward.

iOS AI

It looks like iOS 18 is going to have AI incorporated into the iPhone. Then here comes the kicker, even though Apple saids it's commited to privacy the phone might struggles to handle it's new features.

Hopefully Apple will play catch up and get it's act together in future versions to be able to compete with it's competitors.

AI Pin Review

Easy word to say that it's not there yet but it could be better in the near future. It still has more to do before it gets there but right now it's not a replacement for anything yet. More for research and development.

Tesla Robotaxi Update

It looks like Tesla is struggling to catch up with it's Robotaxi and none of the agencies that regulates robotaxis has heard of it yet. So I would not be surprised that the project will be delayed when it comes out in August of this year. 

So with no deploymnet permit in process this might just be another Musk failure when time comes. But again it could be just a robotaxi and not a robotaxi service so only time will tell when everything comes to light.

But as of this date his failed promises are just adding up.

Hacker Downs N Korea

Here is the hacker that took North Korea down and his story is pretty interesting along with what the government should adobt to stay ahead of these cyber attacks.

It's pretty bizaar that the government does not want to use the hacking powers more aggressively and to stop ransomware actors extortion fees.

Win 11 Blocking Updates

If you have these specific apps installed on Windows 11, Microsoft will block updating your computer. I guess you should look at the list and decide if updating your computer is worth it.

It's unfortunate but as per Microsoft it's a security and performance concern and I guess you will have to follow the procedure or be excluded all together.

Home Depot Breach

Not surprising with the Home Depot breach and hackers are going to go to extreme lenghts to make any access possible even if they cannot reach their ultimate goal.

In the long run it's third parties that are going to be affected and lets just say if these companies do not get their game together they will easily be removed from the Home Depot affliation.

EV Charging Evolution

Here is the evolution of EV charging and how it varies in many different areas. The only way the EV adoption is going to be successful is if the United States adapts to what's going on worldwide and how they are using the resources around them to make the adoption possible.

It's going to be a rollcoaster ride and it will cost us millions if they do not start thinking out of the box how to make this transformation possible.

Tesla Failing

It's no surprise that this EV company is failing terribly and it's partialy because nothing has really changed since 2013 besides the software.

Now they should be mastering other areas and be ahead of the game when compared to other EV companies and it looks like the company has been to comfortable.

Now like all technology, if you don't do anything new every few years, the chances that consumers going to continue buying your product is going to be slim.

So my advice to Telsa is this, wake up and get with the program.

TikTok Ban Reason

Here is an article to clear the real reason why the government wants to ban TikTok all together. Let's just say there is 14.7 Billion reason for this.

Regardless on who benefited the most, this social media giant can easily control the U.S. ecommerce markets with just a flick of a switch.

MAC Desktop Dead

It's no secret that the MAC desktop are dead as more users adapt to portable devices because of their convience. MAC and other manufactures are easily turning away from desktops and focusing on items that many consumers want which is portability. So long live the new MacBooks.

Vision Pro Spatial Personas

Vision Pro just enabled Spatial Persona and let's just say it's makes FaceTime calling more realistic that it already is inside a window.

It's more like having a 3D type conversation when you talk to the user. This is definitely going to take Vision Pro to a new level and get ready for more.

Roku secrets

It looks like some users can open up Roku secret screens by doing a list remote functions on the device to unlock the controls.

The hidden screens will help you restore you device should it act up or do a factory reset, usb test, Cycle channel store server, cycle software firmware update and update the software.

If your Roku device is in need of a tune-up, doing this reset will definitely get your device to behave again.
