6:00 PM Today! Here are the Guys To-Day!

  • ICE “In Case of Emergency”. On an iPhone you can fill in your Medical ID in the Health app and include who to contact in case of emergency as well as your medical conditions, allergies etc.
  • Your ‘Grab-Bag’ of Internet Recovery after a Disaster- Recovery Text number, email and ‘Escrow’ if you Die…
  • Avoid Mail Systems SBCGLOBAL, YAHOO, OUTLOOK, HOTMAIL, COMCAST… will explain WHY
  • Your Right To Be Forgotten. I tried POST.COM and NEXTDOOR.COM, dislike them No End — It’s NO use simply binning the app or not using it anymore & hoping for the best : )
    I want all my Info and Logon GONE- they provide NO easy way other than you must Email them FROM the Account Email used to log in- If it’s an Alias this complicates things. ‘Orphaned’ accounts can be broken-into and misused as ‘you’
  • Google and Safari web page account saving passwords– The Issues.
  • Pay Attention to Google Password manager when it says some password has been compromised!
  • Apple iPhone 14 or newer will allow you to add a second “Face” to access your phone in case you are not able to. I’d recommend you do this with a person you TRUST IMPLICITLY as it gives them total access to your phone.
  • Search for Google’s Inactive Account Manager which can help users plan what happens to their account if it’s inactive for a set period of time. This period can range from 3 months to a year, and the account owner can choose who to notify and what to share like Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Contacts etc.
  • Large MPG variance on Hybrid vehicles depending on where/how you drive after filling up your gas tank!

Welcome to 2024!
– Ad Based Free Speech: Google sends out AdSense memo which is where you can monetize your site with their various ads:
Warning: that a ‘sensitive event’ allows them to ‘change policy’ quickly as their Metrics demand. If they will lose advertisers, they will dump YOU first. Promptly.
___________________________________________
Elon Musk makes it profanely clear he does not care that he lost half his advertisers on X aka Twitter due to his and other rants because, surprise surprise, he is not motivated by profit and ad revenue so much as having a Musky Megaphone that he can, after all, afford.

Importnat: I have added some new Evergreen Pages about securing your identity esp in the face of AI ingenuity used to unravel your ID

Security by Obfuscation: Look up your own name, address and more to see what OTHERS could learn, Do this is “Incognito” mode so it appears exactly as a stranger might see it all
