Avira Warned Me of a Spam Call


So I have Avira on my phone and I like it enough to have the pro version. With Avira you can have it show things like above on calls coming in. Sure enough they wanted money. Now I'm not mentioning the group, but I know they do all their fundraising threw local events in the locations they are set up. I've never heard of them using a call center or anything to solicit funds before. So I emailed the group and sure enough, they actually WHERE using this service now. So it all turned out to be above board.

Still you never know. All I can think is that a bunch of people got calls from this number then used the report feature that it has. I don't tend to have money to give out often and this month not much at all sadly. But I tend to do any giving directly to a group if on the rare occasion I do that.

It also seems to have stopped the spam texts I used to get at least twice a month. I just no longer see the texts at all. So I'm impressed with it.

There is also support for Chrome browser and I like that a lot. I also got the cleaner as it does things the cleaner that Samsung has in the settings does not get. I paid a small amount to remove ads from the cleaner as well. All in all I don't tend to click links on social media unless I know where they are going and trust the site - so I am safe enough. Still I want the extra bit of protection. You never know after all.

Anyways I recommend the hell out of their product and they are NOT from some shady country known for spreading spyware threw antivirus programs. I use a different program on the PC as it comes with my internet provider. Before I switched to that one I did use Avira on the PC as well.

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...
