On My Mind

Democracy is a gift, and a privilege.

Folks in several countries die each day trying to get what we have.

Let us treasure it.

El Presidente Obama, on his first biting political speech since leaving office: "You can’t opt out because you don’t feel sufficiently inspired by this or that particular candidate. This is not a rock concert. This is not Coachella."
A Fortnite Monopoly board game? Of course! :-> Fortnite Monopoly ditches money for weapons and chests

Microsoft & All Things Windows

Microsoft to charge for Windows 7 updates. Good. If you’re still running Windows 7 today, it’s you fault. Update, or bug off! I was bothered enough to write s small blurb here. Crazy!

Business

I wouldn’t put it past Tsar Vlad The Terrible and his minions! :-> France Accuses Russia of Space Satellite Espionage
It’s an ideal workload for electric trucks, I would think -> Your UPS deliveries may soon arrive in electric trucks

Technology

Kinda sucks, doesn’t it? On MacOS/OS X, no less.:-> The most popular "privacy" tool in Apple's Mac App Store was stealing users' browsing history and sending it to China.
Living in multi-story homes, I have neve been an iRobot Roomba fan, opting instead to have whole-house vacuum systems and their attendant in-wall ports installed instead. The news that Roombas upload a map of your crib to the cloud swore me off them. Just for that, I’m still not a fan of their latest product, the Roomba i7. I won’t be getting it.
For pet owners to decipher, they mean. :-> Fitness trackers help put fat pets on a diet

General Interest

Very good read :-> What’s driving me crazy about electric cars
Bottom line, and in-line with everything I have read: Canon’s new mirrorless line is basically half-steppin’. Engadget had it for three days.
Just make Pluto a planet again, and let us resume our search for Nemesis (Planet X)!
