Equifax got hacked, with up to 143 million Americans impacted. What to do? Don’t sign up for Equifax’s free credit monitoring on the web, get a Credit Freeze put on your account.

Check your credit reports, and set up a fraud alert via the FTC website… more info in the video, and if you do end up getting your identity stolen, head to identitytheft.gov!

So excited to hear their thoughts on the New IPhones.
It’s interesting they didn’t mention anything about having the charger – headphone jack cable included. I feel like they are giving you less for your dollar. When I bought my AirPods it didn’t come with the wall adapter, just the charging cord.
TekThing delivers again! Thank you.
Woop!
I went skydiving ~40 years ago. No tandem jumps, so I jumped by myself. Only took a month for my knee to heal.
Geesh is snubs really that dumb or is she playing dumb ….. did she not see the Apple event on Tuesday????? “what’s an ami-emoj” even my 6 year old can figure out “animated emoji”.
I think this might be a reason they skipped Windows 9: https://www.networkworld.com/article/2691814/software/why-did-microsoft-skip-windows-9-and-jump-to-windows-10.html
The reason why these companies are skipping the number nine in their version is because of Japan, they think that the number nine is bad luck. So if Windows or Apple came out with the number nine version they thought that Japan would not buy their products.
Kinda scary having Apple to have your face in there servers
dang tht basilisk looks amazing (im gur /a/uWkcH)
keep one eye closed, phone won’t unlock IIRC from some article I read
Why isn’t the Basilisk southpaw friendly? boooooooooo.
@TekThing. Hey, I think your video’s length might be off… I think you should listen to my songs :). youtube com/XimerTracks
FYI the Equifax hack did not only affect US residents. Also affected were an unknown number of Canadians and UK residents. Here is the Canadian Privacy Commissioner post re the hack which of course does not contain any useful information other than Canadians should not use the Equifax am I affected page https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/opc-news/news-and-announcements/2017/an_170912/
Here in Canada you can buy the starting level iPhone X for $1314 Canadian plus sales taxes. Premiere smart phones have been over $1,000 for a while here.
Projectors I need help … I don’t want to spend a fortune I’m not sure if I want 1080P or 4K what would be my two best options?
i really can’t wait for all those bad doers to leave an apple compatible air charger in a hotel or coffee shop that is designed to overload the battery on the iphone x or 8 and make it catch fire that will be the day just calling it now
Keep in mind if you DO buy into the Equifax credit monitoring…..you wave your right to any lawsuits against them in the future.
