Avira On My Phone and McAfee On My PC

This is using Avira on my phone. Just thought it was an interesting thing that it's all 2's LOL.

I have the pro version for $11.05 a year. I like it a lot and the free version works just fine if you don't care about using the browser (browser support is paid).

It will nag you to install it's VPN and app lock and a couple other things. I have also installed their cleaner as it seems to work very well. I also got the $2.49 paid version of that.

The thing with the paid version is you can have it on all your devices as long as you are using the same google account on all of them.

Avira is a German company and a LOT more trustworthy than something from Easter Europe or Russia.

I do NOT use it on my PC as my ISP gives me a free full paid version of McAffee. They are a US company and in my mind a lot more trustwoorthy than some of the "popular" ones for the Czech Republic or Russia.

In fact that one from Russia a LOT of people seem to like (after all there are great reviews all over the net) has been linked to hacking of systems including the NSA.

In any event, it's always good to have something on there. After all the windows one is kind of the worst you can get... Samsung and a couple of others have a low level security system built in but I'm kind of sure most users will never actually find it in the setting menu's...

I do have to say that the 2 I use are NOT low latency - they use a bunch of resources compared to others. BUT they are a lot more able to be trusted in my mind and the minds of most people I know - so I use them.

Have a good one and stay safe... P.S. Just don't click ANY click traps and you will be a LOT safer.

    I never had any trouble with the windows firewall, but i have used ESET Nod free online scan a few times to find and get rid of viruses and stuff. Windows firewall just sits there doing nothing as far as I can see. Every time I paid to get an antivirus program I have gotten bit, so I stick with free ones with a good reputation. I don't use Putin's Number One Spyware like some LOL.

      Kerspirsi had great reviews. Then it turned out to be a hacking tool.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
