Living in a digital, connected world comes with risks. There are certain vulnerabilities that are difficult to protect yourself against—like the recent Equifax security breach that exposed millions of social security numbers. But there are ways to build up your personal digital security when it comes to your devices and how you decide to share your information. Engineer Micah Lee and Jason Koebler of Motherboard help us sort through encrypted messaging, password managers, and VPNs to increase your cybersecurity safety and IQ.

is GoDaddy an honest vender?

I’ve got a complaint about GoDaddy’ s integrity!

 

A website and domain they were hosting apparently became infected with malware and was blocked.

GoDaddy said the domain was blacklisted and would cost $250 to recover the site, the owners refused and contracted me to build a new site.

I transferred the domain to my account and redirected the name servers to my server but was still getting the same error.

GoDaddy support claimed that even though the IP address changed, the domain name was still blacklisted and would still cost $250 to use the domain.

 

However, After transferring the domain away from GoDaddy the malware error was gone.

 

Is GoDaddy manufacturing malware errors for profit?

Solar debate

From Arizona Republic 7/9/17.

 

APS program would have customers never use the solar power directly. Rather, they send it straight to the grid, and APS gives them a monthly credit for the use of their roof. Customers would earn only $10 to $50 a month.

 

Residential customers would see an increase to $10-20 for the monthly basic service.

Higher basic service fees are part of a trend by utilities to collect more, groups like AARP arguing that customers will see higher bills under this proposal even during months that they may not occupy a home.

 

Solar customers send about 12,000 kilowatt-hours to the grid in a year.

The changes will reduce customer savings by about $132 a year.

 

Two commissioners, Doug Little and Chairman Tom Forese, were elected in 2014 with the help of dark-money groups thought to be funded by APS, which does not deny involvement.

APS confirmed last year it helped the elections of the other three commissioners.

Commissioners say they can’t legally prevent a utility from using its profits to support political candidates without interfering with the company’s First Amendment rights.

APS is spending money to elect the people who decide how much profit they makes.

 

The Corp Commission is corrupt but at least I’m grandfathered for 20yr.

What type of TV antenna do you have?

Last month I cut cable TV and installed an HD Antenna and very happy with quality and the available channels.

Do you have a HD antenna?

 

With my HD antenna I get 45+ channels.  Broadcasters have one main channel for older antennas but have up to multiple HD sub-channels.  This is just $35 on Amazon. Would use existing cabling, just would replace your antenna and add a decoder box but no monthly fees.

 

TV Antenna Outdoor Amplified - Motorized 360 Degree Rotation - Digital HDTV Antenna - 150 Miles Range - Wireless Remote

 

I was amazed to see that the picture quality was as good as cable, many of the sub-channels play old shows like McHale’s Navy, Bewitched, Star Trek, Dr Who, and many others.

Kaspersky

Kaspersky has been in the news lately claiming that hackers are to blame for recent problems.  Kaspersky is a Russian owned internet security company.

 

They say they found evidence of Hackers of the US financial system.

Do you believe they had nothing to do with the attacks or they are just bragging how they got away with it?
