MS Word Pad Ends
It looks like Microsoft Word Pad is ending the software and there no longer will be updates and any installation on its future OS. I guess it was good while it lasted.

Ransomware Simulation
I wanted to share a video with everyone on ransomware attacks and how easily anyone can be a victim. I caution users when getting emails not to open anything that does not look right.
Most of these ransom attacks can be halted if users get more proper education on how to open suspicious emails.
Also if you do become a victim reach out to Lockard Security since they were so nice to simulate an attack for us and educate us.

Download Win10 Enterprise ISO
Windows 10 Enterprise has another two years before Microsoft eventually pulls the end-of-life plug on the OS, but in the meantime, if you want to evaluate the software and see what else you have access to as an administrator, it's a great OS when all of the features are exposed.

Uber Eats Delivery Bot Update
People have been wondering since its recent deployment if these Bots will open up more surveillance tools for the police to monitor.
Now this is already being used in other parts of the world, so this is nothing new. But citizens should be concerned that at least they are being proactive against crime.

Win Going Wrong
It looks like Windows 11 is going wrong again, well sort of. In Windows 10 Microsoft did away with some of user's favorite options and continued to do it again with Windows 11.
I just do not understand why they just do not follow what users still want.
I guess it's back to consumers to decide if they want to upgrade or not and for Microsoft to learn another valuable lesson when it comes to sales. Stay tuned.

Interesting how MGM Resorts was attacked by ransomware using BlackCat. The ransom uses a malware-infected email or website to bait its victims. It just took ten minutes and let's just say in my opinion everything went down. I hope that had a good reliable backup system.

Shift
A lot of browsers are now copying with other browsers are doing and Shift is one of them. If you prefer to install the software instead of using these browsers then installing Shift makes sense.
I must admit having these simple tools on the side to easily connect to does simplify having easy access to the application with just a few simple clicks.

MS Azure Breach
You would think that a company this big would make it difficult for malicious hackers to get in using simple tactics. But it looks like negligence played a key role in this breach.
I think it's time for their security measures to be updated if they plan on being a key player in the cloud.

It looks like the IRS is using AI to crack down on potential tax violations from wealthy people. In the past they would use manual tricks and tips, now they are hoping that AI will detect these actions automatically and easily point out tax cheating individuals.

MS Google Alternative
Microsoft is doing a lot of new tricks to get users to switch to Bing, but it's just getting awkward and tiring for many users.
This is nothing new for Microsoft and they should first keep on focusing on making their browser number one again before trying to convince users to switch over to Bing.
9/3/23
Apple Maps
It looks like Apple Maps palette is causing a lot of attention and it looks like Google Maps is showing similarities.
Let's hope the new colors do not confuse some users, since it does take some time to get use to, especially if your a Google Maps user.
