https://youtu.be/Ie6m39oPwpo 🤖🔐 When you use AI, what really happens to the things you type, upload, say, or share? In this Bob The Cyber-Guy tutorial, Bob breaks down one of today’s most important privacy questions in plain, everyday language: the difference between “used by AI” and “used to train AI.” This episode helps average users understand why AI tools can be helpful, why privacy settings matter, and why we should all think twice before uploading sensitive documents, private photos, medical information, financial records, or anything we would not want floating around in the digital soup bowl. 🥣 No panic. No tech jargon. Just practical guidance to help you use AI more wisely and confidently. Written and produced by Norbert (Bob) Gostischa in collaboration with ChatGPT, NotebookLM, and ScreenPal.

After publishing my first look at Windows 11 Point-in-Time Restore, I continued testing the feature on my own Windows 11 system. This follow-up is important because it clears up something that first looked disturbing. At first, the Point-in-Time Restore settings screen showed only one restore point: 6/30/2026 8:04 AM 10.0.26200.8737 That did not look right. My settings showed that Point-in-Time Restore was turned on, set to create restore points every 24 hours, and set to retain restore points for 72 hours. Based on that, I expected to see more than one restore point listed. Since today is July 3, I expected the list to include newer entries, especially from July 1 and July 2. So I did some digging. First, I checked the underlying Volume Shadow Copy Service information using the vssadmin command. That showed that Windows had actually created multiple shadow copies, including ones from July 1 and July 2. That was a very useful clue. It told me that the restore data appeared to exist und...

https://youtu.be/ojk33DtdSyk Windows 11 has a new recovery feature called Point-in-Time Restore, and it could become a very useful safety net when things go wrong. In this tutorial, Bob The Cyber-Guy takes an early hands-on look at where to find it, what it shows, and why users should understand it before relying on it. This is not the old System Restore, and it is not a replacement for a real backup — but it is definitely worth watching.

Windows 11 Point-in-Time Restore: A New Way to Roll Back Your PC Microsoft has added a new Windows 11 recovery feature called Point-in-Time Restore, and this one is worth paying attention to. I discovered it after installing the 2026-06 Preview Update, KB5095093, which brought my system to build 26200.8737. After the update, a new recovery option appeared under: Settings > System > Recovery > Point-in-time restore This is not the same thing as the older System Restore feature many Windows users may remember. System Restore mainly focuses on Windows system files, drivers, registry settings, and some installed software. Point-in-Time Restore is designed to go further. It can roll the PC back to a recent saved state, including Windows, installed apps, settings, and local personal files. That sounds powerful — and it is — but there are some important details users need to understand before treating it like magic. Spoiler alert: it is not magic. Windows still does not come with a t...

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.

https://youtu.be/gKTH2uW3c-M Choosing an AI tool can feel like walking into a digital candy store where every wrapper says, “Trust me!” But not every AI platform deserves your personal information, your files, or your confidence.

You’ll learn what to watch for before signing up, what information you should never share, why privacy settings matter, and why “free” is not always as free as it looks.
