Sunday Beauty #128
Folks, here’s another interesting image for your weekend.
And, yes. I know I have been a bit light on the ‘tech’ topics here. But there’s a reason for that. I am micro-millimeters away from simply advising – as a friend of mine says – we simply chuck it into the nearest canal. (aka ‘go off the grid’.) As, yes, it’s that flawed.

Today’s quote: “Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong – these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.” ~ Winston Churchill

New kind of Yahoo spying?
Folks, I am skeptical about this article published today..
* Yahoo’s spying billboard: It would ID you, watch and listen to your reactions to ads
“Yahoo is exploring a smart billboard that would use microphones, cameras and other sensors to bring targeted advertising to outdoor displays.” Read more..
I’m skeptical because I think companies are already doing this. They’re certainly doing it with our computers and game consoles…
Because dummies still think advertising works. LOL.
And it’s one of the few “industries” still making big money.

Use Spotify? Be aware..
Folks, yet another item to know about.
* Spotify serving malicious ads to freemium users
“Several Spotify users are reporting that the streaming music service is serving malware to its users through its advertiser network. Users on company’s user forum noted that ads running on Spotify Free, the streaming music service’s free product, automatically open malicious websites without their permission.” Read more..

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.
