Image
https://youtube.com/shorts/18Tpd0336U8 Welcome back to the @bob3160 channel for another Teddy-Tip! 💾  📷 QR codes can be handy, but scammers love them too.

In this quick Avast Bears tip, the message is simple: pause before you scan, and when possible, go straight to the official website instead. A little caution beats a big headache every time. 🐻🛡️ I used ChatGPT and Google Gemini to help me create this Avast Cybersecurity Teddy-tip.

TAAFT AI created Desktop Background Image - AI Art

Good for windows 10 and 11. New one daily or, whenever I remember to create it. Theme: AI Art (23) ChatGPT AI's Description: This AI art has a bold, cinematic sci-fi look: a dark, ghostly skull floating in deep space, surrounded by stars, sparks, and glowing bursts of light. The large golden word “TRANKS” dominates the center like a dramatic title reveal, cutting across the skull with a fiery, high-energy glow. The image feels mysterious, intense, and slightly eerie — part space fantasy, part digital horror, part movie-poster-style artwork.

Check the Secure Boot certificates on Windows 11

Image
https://youtu.be/OKJjLuLLRPY Secure Boot is one of Windows 11’s quiet security guards — it helps make sure your PC starts with trusted software instead of something sneaky trying to load before Windows does. In this Bob The Cyber-Guy tutorial, we take a practical look at how to check the Secure Boot certificates on a Windows 11 computer. This is not panic-button territory, but it is useful information for anyone who wants to better understand what their system is showing and why Secure Boot matters. You’ll see where to look, what the certificate information means in plain English, and why keeping Windows and your PC firmware updated is still one of the smartest security habits around. Simple, practical, and senior-friendly — because computer security should not require a secret decoder ring. This is the fastest way and works on all updated Windows 11 systems (April 2026 Windows 11 update or newer). Steps: Open Start → Windows Security Select Device Security Click Secure Boot Look at th...

Startpage vs Google Search - Is Startpage a Good Privacy-Friendly Search Engine

Image
https://youtu.be/b4E_tu-rnRo In this Bob The Cyber-Guy tutorial, I take a practical, researched look at Startpage and whether it is a good choice as the default search engine in Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers. This is a researched recommendation, not a paid endorsement. I do not work for Startpage, I am not affiliated with Startpage, and I have not received any payment, sponsorship, product benefit, or compensation from Startpage for making this video. The goal is simple: help everyday users, especially seniors, understand whether Startpage can offer more private searching, less tracking, and fewer misleading sponsored-result distractions compared with standard Google searches. Startpage ( https://www.startpage.com/ ) may be a good “middle road” choice for people who want more privacy without giving up familiar-style search results. But it is not magic. Sponsored results can still appear, and users still need to slow down, check web addresses, and verify before trust. Stay s...

Episode 11 Humans + AI — Trust Still Needs a Second Look

Image
https://youtube.com/shorts/bLXQLrgM8TQ 🤖⚡🧭 AI can be fast, polished, and very convincing — but confidence is not the same as accuracy. In Episode 11 of Humans + AI, we look at why human verification still matters. AI can help gather information, organize ideas, and point us in the right direction, but it is still up to us to pause, check, compare, and confirm before we trust the answer. A helpful reminder from Bob The Cyber-Guy: verify before trust — because even smart tools need smart users.
