“Extended Security Updates” only to patch woes and updates antivirus
Requires a Microsoft Login.
Throwaway Email Address wil Do!
Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and look for the “Enroll Now” option
Windows 11 also now  tries also to force you off a Local Account although there are ways around that
You make a grown man cry


Lithium Iron Phosphate  
batteries form ‘Static Backup’ Devices from the likes of  Jackery for power outages and RV use?? .VS. Generator: “Pure Sine Wave” Etc.
How does this Compare to a Generator?!


RV campgrounds in 2026 will require  Grounding Monitor Interrupter (GMI), or GCI 
Generally a part of OSHA regulations. This is not the same as GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter),
This is seperate from overload protection…. etc


California fired cyber-security chief


Giant “BotNet” made out of YOUR devices at home?! Krebbs on Security great report
“Post Hoc ergo Propter Hoc”– avoid blaming it for EVERYTHING

What’s the difference between Video and Cinematic on an iPhone?
AI tells me:
It creates a shallow depth of field (blurred background) and automatic focus transitions,
similar to Portrait mode but for Movies.

CHROME emergency Updates


APPLE has jumped latest MacOS _and_ IOS to
version 26 “Tahoe” from about 18
Leaving behind more hardware- iPhone must be newer than iPhone X (10)
IE: 11+. I like it though, I do NOT like that it will make older hardware increasingly unable to get or update Apps like the STARBUCKS one left behind as IOS 15 : (


What use are your older phones and devices? 3G was left behind so for example nothing older than an iPhone 5 will work as their 3G only will not work….


Multiple Issues with both PC/MICROSOFT   and now mainly APPLE automatically encrypting your drive during an upgrade or even an Update. Apple uses FILEVAULT while PCs use BITLOCKER. More on this during the show.


Scam Mechanism thoroughly explored : ) Who has Time for this? “Pleasant Green”.
If a friend is entangled in any such thing find the correct video and Send it. 10 mins

Here is “Pleasant Greens” Channel
