We used to get 3-4 robocalls per week, except during election season.  But now we're getting 10+ robocalls each day on each of our mobile and land lines. 😠    Admittedly, some robocalls are beneficial  -- pharmacies and doctors use robocall reminders. But the majority of them are just spam.  Private analyses shows that U.S. consumers are receiving 4 billion robocalls per month.   The so-called DO NOT CALL registry is useless because scammers couldn't care less about it.   So what can you do?   I let my phone go to voice mail unless a) I recognize the caller or b) it's a call from my local area.  But that's not reliable due to widespread spoofing now.   1. If you don't recognize the caller, or they don't leave a voice message, block the caller.   2. If you do pick-up and the caller asks, "can you hear me, can you hear me?"  Do not say "yes."  Instead say "I hear you, who is this?"  Or "no"

Automated driving systems are wonderful in theory but numerous complaints and accidents stemming from malfunctioning self-driving & auto-breaking vehicles have been filed with NHTSA.  And there have been multiple reports of passengers stranded in unsafe locations by immobilized self-driving Ubers. https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2022/cruise-self-driving-cars-under-federal-investigation.shtml https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2023/tesla-phantom-braking-class-action-lawsuit-model-3-model-y.shtml  

A bomb cyclone, also known as bombogenesis, is defined as a rapidly intensifying storm that happens when atmospheric pressure drops significantly caused by overlapping warm and cold air masses.  Temperatures can suddenly drop tens of degrees in minutes creating ice hazards on roads, bridges, aircraft & waterways.    Much of the U.S. (west to east and below the Gulf Coast) will be impacted by extreme winter weather this holiday weekend.  The intensified storms and snap sub-zero temperatures are creating chaos for holiday travelers.    Footage of blizzard from a Wyoming Highway Patrol Trooper cam.   This morning, Casper, Wyoming reached a record-breaking 42 below zero.   Sub-zero temperatures can cause frostbite in as little as 10 seconds.  Stay safe everyone!   

Ever since Elon Musk has come around with giving out Patents for free and laying out technology fast instead of rolling them out slowly like molasses so they can make money off like the old companies, clear throat "Apple" or "Microsoft," these companies are a dying breed that is selfish and never share their patents and follow the ancient form of business. Common Adobe, can you not be as greedy as the other companies and discount your products? Sell off your mansions like Elon Musk did and get rid of your expensive belongings; you do not need them anyways; why do you need to show off your rich anyways? You need to expand the business, buy $$$ some social media companies and disrupt the world, not bling, bling or staying quiet. 

Hello...I have a company that wishes to purchase my .psd files of book covers to make audio covers themselves. I offered to make the files, but they want the psd and to do it themselves. They saidWe are interested in licensing the cover artwork for our audiobook editions. Please send me the licensing information for the following titles: I have no idea what they want here. Isn't this a problem with the stock images I purchased as well? If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.  carrie

Note... I learned that a gateway is a modem with a built in router to connect RJ45 computer cablesMy 6 year old Cisco DPC3941T Xfinity (Comcast) modem/gateway still works, but since it is now 3 generations old (models XB6-XB7-XB8) it does not have the latest built in security technology... plus it is 'about' half as slow as the latest versionI have ignored past emails from Xfinity offering a no cost trade but this time I decided it was time to retire the old Cisco and install a new boxI made this decision only AFTER I talked to a woman in tech support who said that I could go into the new modem and set the WiFi names to be the same as I already have... So I would not need to go to every WiFi device and do a new setupTo verify this I went into the Cisco... 6 years ago I changed the default password (printed on a label on the box) and changed the passwords for the 2.4 and 5.0 WiFi lines to ones easier to use when adding a WiFi device (such as a cell phone)I had not changed the WiFi line

Woke up to very low water flow from faucets... wife did a search, possible reason listed as a burst water pipe   Checked and couldn't find any problems in the house... wife called plumber, he said to check water meter   With a faucet in kitchen running the water meter dial was spinning... turn faucet off, dial was still   Water pressure problem not in our house... called utility company   About 10-15 minutes later a worker came to our door... they did not (yet) know the cause, but other people in the area were also reporting low pressure   My guess is a bad pump or a water main leaking... but, now that utility company knows I'm sure they will fix   So... if you ever have low water pressure the first thing to do is check your water meter... if the dial is spinning with all of your faucets OFF you have a water leak

My wife uses the very old Quicken 2013 to keep track of 3 checking accounts (hers, ours and her small online business) which I installed on Win10 for her when I replaced her old/slow computer running Win8.1She did NOT want to change, so we were going to just keep her on Win10 until support stopped, then switch her over to a different program (I had tried and her Q2013 would NOT install on my Win11 computer)While I was clicking around and reading various things I found that the new subscription Quicken would continue working after a subscription expired (Delux and above versions) for a check register, just no online functions at allSince she currently does not download bank information, I convinced her to let me upgrade her Win10 to Win11 for free... and if her Q2013 stopped working I would buy a new Quicken Deluxe that she could keep using after the 1st year subscription expiredStep one was to use the backup program I bought to make an image of her C drive, to be able to restore that i

Hey guys! I wrote a 30 page pocket book titled 'Display Technology, Pixels, and Printed Ink: The Beginner's Guide'. I'm looking for some sort of organization that will fact check it and add a badge to it that says it's been peer reviewed. Unfortunately, I can't find anyone that would do this sort of thing! What should I do?Attached is the guide.

It's been a bad year Adobe. There are critical bugs that have remained unfixed for over a year on most of your software offerings. Secondly you are removing 3D features from CC so you can sell a second license package for 3D software. Now you are raising prices. In summary, raising prices on broken software with less functionality. I know your excuse will be that you've created “fun new apps” for creators to upload content to tiktok from their iPhone or some other nonsense, but experiments in marketing paid for by your professional user base isn't innovation.

Romance scams are nothing new.  Dating sites & social chat rooms have been plagued by them for years.  But now the Romance Scammers are targeting teenage children.  The FBI warns of explosive increase in online "sexploitation schemes" coming from the western coast of Africa. The FBI said it is issuing the national public safety alert now since kids may be spending more time online as schools close for winter break.  https://www.10tv.com/article/news/nation-world/fbi-teens-targeted-by-online-sextortion/507-3325d068-9462-42ce-b132-b8496c456b53
