Bob the Cyber-Guy’s Cyber Safety Tip #123

Image
“Your Old Devices Still Remember You” Most people think the danger ends when a device is turned off, replaced, or shoved into a drawer. It doesn’t. 🚨 What’s the hidden risk? Old phones, tablets, laptops, and even smart TVs often still contain: Saved email accounts Stored passwords Wi-Fi credentials Cloud access tokens Photos, messages, and documents If that device is: Sold Given away Donated Recycled Or “reset” incorrectly …the next owner may gain more access than you ever intended . ⚠️ Common false assumptions “I deleted my files, so it’s fine” “I logged out, so I’m safe” “A factory reset always wipes everything” (Spoiler: it doesn’t always) ✅ Smart, simple protection steps Sign out of accounts first , then reset Remove the device from your Google / Apple / Microsoft account Encrypt before resetting when possible If the device is truly obsolete, physically destroy the storage (yes, really) For smart devices, remov...

Image
Good for windows 10 and 11. New one daily or, whenever I remember to create it. Theme: Cityscapes & Architecture (12) Grok's Description: A breathtaking panoramic sunset view of downtown Chicago with the Chicago River curving beautifully through the frame. The sky is on fire with rich orange, pink and deep red hues. Skyscrapers rise dramatically on both sides, blending historic stone architecture with ultra-modern glass towers. Dominating the right side of the frame is the massive, sleek, deep-blue Trump International Hotel and Tower — except in this delightfully surreal version the building proudly displays the word CRUMP in huge capital letters across its facade. Traffic lights sparkle on the curving roads, bridges cross the glowing river, and the whole scene feels like a perfect mix of majestic cityscape + wonderfully weird AI energy.

The Wi-Fi Calling Safety Trap – iPhone Edition 📱

Image
Hello everyone! It’s Bob here. 👋 We all love our iPhones, don't we? They are incredibly smart. They know your face, your fingerprint, and exactly how many steps you took before breakfast. But recently, a massive cell carrier outage revealed a hidden danger. It turns out your iPhone has a "blind spot" that could be risky in an emergency. I warned my Android friends about this recently, and now it is time to make sure my iPhone users are safe, too. 🛡️ The Problem: Your iPhone Might Be Invisible When you make a call using a normal cell tower, the tower "triangulates" your signal. This means 911 dispatchers can find your physical location automatically. It is a great safety net. However, when cell service fails and your phone switches to Wi-Fi Calling , that safety net disappears. The internet sees your voice, but it doesn't necessarily see your street address. 🏠 If you dial 911 over Wi-Fi without configuring this one specific setting, help might not be able...

Bob The Cyber-Guy’s Wi-Fi Calling Safety Tip

Image
Wi-Fi Calling is one of those quiet helpers that you don’t notice… until the cell network goes down and your phone still works . That happened to me during a recent Verizon outage. Wi-Fi Calling kicked in automatically, and I never missed a call. But there’s an important safety detail most people don’t know — especially when it comes to calling 911 . 🚨 Why This Tip Matters When you call 911 over a cell tower , your location can usually be found automatically. When you call 911 using Wi-Fi Calling , your phone is using the internet — not cell towers. That means 911 depends on the emergency address you entered in your phone. No address, wrong address, or an old address? 👉 Emergency services may not know where to send help. The good news? Fixing this is easy — and you only need to do it once.- Unless you move! ✅ Bob’s Step-by-Step Wi-Fi Calling Emergency Address Check (Simple enough for anyone to follow) Step 1 Open your Settings app ⚙️ (That little gear icon.)

Bob the Cyber-Guy’s Cyber Safety Tip #122

Image
“Your Voicemail Can Be a Back Door” Most people protect their email. Most people protect their bank account. Very few people protect their voicemail. Scammers know this. 🚨 What’s the hidden risk? Many services still use voicemail for account recovery : Password reset codes “We just sent you a verification call” Security confirmations If a criminal: Steals your phone number (SIM-swap), or Accesses an unprotected voicemail They can intercept reset codes and take over: Email accounts Financial accounts Social media Cloud services No malware needed. No hacking wizardry. Just voicemail. ⚠️ Common mistakes scammers exploit Default voicemail PIN (often 0000 or 1234 ) No PIN at all Voicemail accessible from any phone Reusing the same PIN as your bank card (yes, people do this) ✅ Simple protection steps (5 minutes total) Set a strong voicemail PIN (not birthdays or repeats) Disable “remote voicemail access” if you don’t use it ...

The Social Contract - Reclaiming American National Unity

Image
https://youtu.be/AZf-j2SLiec America calls itself the United States—but how united are we, really? In this episode, we take an honest, plain-spoken look at one of the most difficult conversations facing the country today: unity, identity, and immigration. Without slogans or shouting, we explore what it means to belong, why shared values matter, and how unchecked division—on all sides—puts our future at risk. This isn’t about blaming people. It’s about asking hard questions, respecting those who followed the rules, and figuring out how a nation built by immigrants can stay united without losing itself. A thoughtful conversation for anyone who loves this country, worries about where it’s headed, and believes honest dialogue still matters. The video was created by NotebookLM based on my Blog post: https://bob3160.blogspot.com/2026/01/united-states-of-america-how-united-are.html
