This morning on CEP! I start going through articles, and then a surprise special guest stops by. We catch up on some articles:
- Not only are VPNs unnecessary for normal consumers, but they introduce tons of side effects
- Hundreds of HP printer models feature a critical-severity vulnerability… on top of the sanctioned malice from HP itself.
- Senior communities add local tech support as one of their perks, and people need it
- The third generation of iPhone SE – the perfectly fine $399 alternative to the thousand-dollar iPhones they try to push on seniors
- Apple’s plot to RENT you the iPhone so they can make even more Money off of you. Did it succeed?
- Apple gets $200m in public incentives from Des Moines, IA, in exchange for how many jobs?
- Russia threatens to nationalize some Microsoft locations there. My response to them.
- Hackers breach Samsung servers, exposing how useless “trusted” software is, and the article’s very damaging recommendation to users.
