This looks like an attempt to commandeer and force private business to be controlled by the government in regards to security. That hasn't worked out for Americans at all in the last 2 years.

If you are one of the several hundred learners enrolled in our Linux for Beginners course, your invitations for tomorrow's Weekend Linux Workshop (to be held Sat. June 18th @ 5:00pm ET) are being sent out to your email right now! (If you can't be there live, the wekeend workshops are always recorded so you can watch them later on the LMS!)

This week, learn how Windows tracks your personal data and how big the black market for personal data is. Learn how switching from Windows to Linux frees you from the risk of monitoring and surveillance where it matters most -- at the Operating System level of your computer.

Then, we revisit one of our all-time favorite topics, easy ways to revitalize older and refurbished cheap computers that work just as fast as new, with Linux! More relevant than ever, with semiconductor prices skyrocketing, supply chain problems and China's political problems with Taiwan on the horizon. Now is the time to find a cheap laptop, format the drive and install Linux!

If you can't make it to this weekend's live workshop, don't worry, it will be recorded (as always) and posted in our LMS system, for you to view with your login and password, any time you like!

Anyone remember Computer Shopper?

This was an incredible sports watch for its time.

Now a vintage LCD watch, the Seiko D138 "running man."

Netflix is making a move to try and save itself. The acquisition of Roku is more about ads than anything else. Spend money to make money seems to be the answer. If this fails it could sink both Netflix and Roku.

GOD MADE A FATHER

At the dawn of time, God looked down on all He had made and said, “Now, I need a caretaker.”

So, God made a father.

God said, “I need someone to teach children to fish, and to ride a bike without training wheels, and to play catch in the backyard. It must be someone who’s tough enough to run a chainsaw and yet, gentle enough to join his little girl and her dolls for tea.”

So, God made a father.

“I need someone to notice practical things, like how the tread on the tires is wearing and if the weather stripping around the front door needs replacing, for no one else will.”

“I’ll help him find time for the important things, like saying ‘I’m proud of you, son,’ or giving Mama a hug.”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I need,” thought God. “A father to love my children, and if necessary, to lay down his life for them. Someone . . . well, someone like Me.”

So, God made a father.

Big tech Zuck was a major part of the 2020 election theft. Control of the information and money, censorship was the means to stifle anyone questioning what was happening. We must never forget what the CEO of Facebook/Meta did.
