Just a little humor

Thanks S2. I probably should have already done that long ago.

sear not trying to be a troglodytic stick in the mud, but the notion of making personal information public is absolutely unacceptable.
This is cyber-butt-sniffing transcendently beyond what is entitled to consideration.

I suppose I could - $pay a guy - , but am alarmed at every facet of this.
It's their game,
their rules.
I'm out.

Note: Generally simply as a sensible computer security protocol when I buy a new computer the first thing I do with it fresh out of the box, before booting it up, is to defeat / disable the camera. The microphone is a little more problematic.
 
Interesting - I've never provided any sort of selfie for FB. Of course I used a "real sounding" name when I set it up. I used to have one where the name was a play on a nickname and they eventually asked for a copy of gov't issued ID so I dropped that one.

As for the camera, I simply put a piece of adhesive tape over it - that way I can use it when I'm in a Teams meeting and then cover it again.

Multiple plausible explanations. I suspect the reason is because many, the two of us included, attempt to acquire access without the human life threatening complications. No worries.

That works. BUT !!
Any computer that has a camera is likely to also have a microphone.
And the monstrous nightmare of it is: it's been scientifically engineered to be exceedingly difficult for even level II technicians to defeat / control.
CERTAINLY they can find the MS Windows Control Panel controls. BUT !! Those are merely soft switches. The authorized user / owner can switch it / them off. BUT !! A criminal, or a government fishing expedition can under warrant switch it back on again without the user's permission or knowledge.
Computers aren't the only risk. A "smart" television can also spy on you. When I first read of "smart" televisions, I combed the market, found a few -dumb- televisions, nice UHD/4K 43" flat panels, and bought a few. So my desktop computer now has the display screen equivalent of eight 1080HD displays.

When I worked for a bank IT together with Corporate Security had disabled the speakers on all our machines because it is possible to turn speakers into microphones. When we had to listen to something on the computer we used our earphones.
 
Trump can't fire Santa Clause. Santa lives in Canada (he has a postal code not a zip code) which makes him Canadian (the red and white suit would have been a give away) and No Canada isn't about to fire him. Yes Canadians share him with the rest of the world because that's the way they are and frankly he likes it too. Merry Christmas everyone.

Colbert rocks

Santa lives in Canada BUT
has powerful international influence. In the U.S., males undergo 4 stages in life.

1) We believe in Santa Claus.
2) We don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) We are Santa Claus.
4) We look like Santa Claus.

#4, the reason I never wear red, unless Madame Boudoir demands it. Can't say no to her (and live to tell about it).
 
Little Johnny’s mom was suspicious that he hadn’t been paying much attention in Sunday School. So as soon as they got home, she asked, “So, Johnny, what did you learn in class today?”

“We learned about Joanna and the Whale,” he said proudly.

"Joanna and the Whale?” she repeated, raising an eyebrow. “Tell me more.”

Johnny nodded and launched into his version of events.

“Well, Joanna lived in Miami, and one day she went deep sea fishing in the Bermuda Triangle. Then a big storm hit! The boat captain panicked and threw her overboard because her fishing line got tangled with something huge.”

His mom crossed her arms, skeptical. “Uh-huh… go on.”

“It turned out it wasn’t a fish at all,” Johnny said. “It was actually a CIA submarine. They picked her up, took her to Cuba, and told her to warn Castro to behave—or Uncle Sam would drone him.”

“And then what happened?” she asked, half amused, half horrified.

“Castro said okay, and everyone lived happily ever after,” Johnny concluded with a smile.

“Johnny… is that really the story your teacher told you?”

Johnny shuffled his feet, avoided eye contact, and finally muttered,

“Not exactly… but trust me—if I told you his version, you’d never believe it!”
 
2 guys met in a bar. Shared a few drinks and lots of stories.

Suddenly, one guy looked at his watch ans exclaimed; Hell I have to leave, Pronto. Otherwise my wife will get upset and make my life hell.

So the second guy said; Tell me, how you go home.

The first guy said; I drive home, stop on the driveway QUIETLY. Close the car door QUIETLY. Walk on the lawn as rhe gravel track is too NOISY. I open the front door QUIETLY. QUIETLY I walk down the passage to the bedroom. When I get there all hell break loose!!!!!

Naah, the second guy said; That's wrong. Stop with screetching brakes. Slam ths door. And if you walk down the pastageregte singing, I'm In The Mood for LOVE.

I guarantee you your wife will sleep soundly until Sunrise Tomorrow……..
