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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Stupid warning for new Apple Vision Pro users who own Tesla's are told not to drive wearing their devices when in a Tesla and using Tesla autopilot. It's a liability clause so that both companies do not get sued.

Bluesky

Ever since Elon Musk purchased Twitter it's been quite a disaster for the so called X aka Twitter. I doubt the company will ever recover and he will be lucky if he can some capital out of the company before it goes under.

Now Bluesky has a big shot on competing with X and shifting it's users from one platform to another. They just need to show their users that's things are better on their end.

It's going to be interesting to see the final outcome of Bluesky and X.

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.

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.
