Astroturfing :
“the deceptive practice of presenting an orchestrated marketing or public relations campaign in the guise of unsolicited comments from members of the public”

Look Up: “Best Web Hosting” or, better: “Largest USA Site Hosting”
Long Contracts? Proprietary Stuff? I don’t think so!

YELP.com is a blend of astroturfing and unmoderated postings.
WISH.COM creates its OWN product reviews
AMAZON can be Gamed as many do for Postive Reviews while Negating competition
What To Do? We will talk about that.
“Passing Off” (A UK term) or misrepresentation as major branded sites is another issue… : (
That is so long as you are not a “Moron In A Hurry” like me– an “MIH” I got caught by XFinity on Friday!
You are expected to be a Person with Normal Skill in the Art AKA “PHOSITA” and may not, for example, reasonably be expected to recognize deep fakery for what it is

Power Supplies Messing Up Hardware? Shotgun Troubleshooting– Replace!
With Reference to Maralyn- Overrating Current is OK but not Voltage.
Stability and ‘smoothness’ of power are what’s needed.

Non Fungible TOkens??

THANKS ‘Buzz’ Barnett for Zooming this Show

Microsoft Hack– We learn 6 weeks after they did : ). Who Else?.. Marilyn: “Low versus High value targets”

HDMI= High Definition Media Interface– (Intel Intellectual Property) How to Capture and Use that (Game Streaming, Etc)
Nope, you cannot stick your HDMI camera or game output into the computer HDMI port & expect that to work : )
There’s an inexpensive USB adapter can do it, though.

A little on ThunderBolt/USB3– Yes, It’s Bi Directional and does not need ‘On the Go’ adapters
Why Pay More?? ThunderBolt Dock adapters as little as $20.00– Not $200…?

A little more on “Apple Silicon” currently at “M1” — Likely to proceed to M2, M3, M4…
These are “ARM Processors” just like in your Phone– Apple created the A series for its iPhones
A4, A5… Currently at A14. More Here
This supersedes Intel Chips and are in fact a licensed patented technology customised by numerous other vendors too.
M1 MACs: great for Audio Recording with onboard MIC as– NO noisy hard drives, NO fan. Little Heat even when very ‘busy’ Zooming, etc.
Put it on sponge though : )

Did I mention that so much is integrated that NO upgrades or repairs are possible?

Benford’s Law! Thank You Jerianne
