Samsung users beware, it may behoove you to read the article below and understand what happened and how you can further prevent yourself. Great little read from the guys over at the register.

Tight-lipped chaebol still won't talk about the dodgy app, though

Everyone loves a good browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc. What people do not often think about is that those who produced the extension (or add-on) may not have your best intentions in mind. Check out the link below to see some of the worst extensions that you can install to your browser.

Browser extensions are handy, but they can also be really dangerous. Here’s what can go wrong and what you can do about it.

We love iMacs, we bet you do too! Pictured here are two iMac 2010’s that we combined parts together to get one working machine. Even when your tech might seem to be dead, there is always a way to bring it back.

What an interesting find tonight when doing some network management on my home network. After capturing some packets and checking out their sources, I noticed one perfectly stubborn IP that was connecting in multitudes of 2-3 times every few seconds. Getting to the bottom of it, I followed the link (after properly checking that it was a non-malicious link) and was greeted with a short explanation about the endpoint, and how it was used to manage cookies for many larger electronics companies.

However, one interesting thing I found on the page was the ability to opt out of data collection during internet browsing. Below is the link to follow, once there click "opting out" and select the check boxes of the companies you wish to no longer collect data on you. Some of them you have to follow a link to be added to the "opt out" list, but most of them you can do from the landing page on that site.

https://www.w55c.net/ (note, at the bottom it will ask you if you would like to accept this sites cookies, you do not need to do so, and frankly I would suggest not to, as we are on this site to get less tracking cookies on our PC's not more!).

(You will do no harm by visiting the site and/or opting out from data collection). This is just one step towards making our data private again. If you are having a hard time understanding the website, or are just plain scared you might ruin something we certainly can help you out with this!

It may be time to stop putting everything you do online, or just time to step away from the gadgets for a while. Companies are now hyper targeting people, all with data users are freely giving up. May be time to start reading end user level agreements (EULA’s) again...

The customer data platform (CDP) is the newest tool in the customer experience arsenal as big companies try to help customers deal with data coming from multiple channels. Today, Adobe announced the general availability of its CDP. The CDP is like a central data warehouse for all the information yo....

The underutilization of technology is astounding. In a world so dominated by technology, there are so many people that are left utilizing the devices of yesteryear. Technology adoption should be upon the forefront of many peoples minds. There are many benefits from utilizing new devices and technology, for both personal and business development alike. It is time to separate from how things were and to start to adopt to how things are now and how they will be in the future. Do not get left anymore behind then you already might be.
