There is something really weird going on here. This is still happening after the windows 10 updates last night.

Something really weird is going on with windows 10 and these office programs. I tried both latest versions of libreoffice and I can't save with those for the life of me. I then uninstalled them and tried installing openoffice and here's the error that gives.

UPDATE: I found the problem to handbrake not writing. I uninstalled the new version and re-installed the older version and it works fine again. So something is not right with the new version. This is very weird since divx was giving me the same problem. I also got the same problem with libreoffice when trying to save a file. I then tested writing a text file to the individual folders and those are working fine. Not sure what's going on there, but at least I can keep working on the videos.

I used to work at a place where they had a lot of secured fences and doors, but it didn't matter because the people there would always prop the doors so that they could come back into the building. Here's a great example of something similar, with a car. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by it. Car quality has been going down for a while now. In this case Toyota. If you don't believe me look on youtube at all those broken door sienna handles. I'll be changing one soon too. In any case I hope you guys have an alarm on your car.

Spare tire.

It's been tough week because the water pump went out in my car, so I have been busy with that and because it's been in the upper 90's and 100 degree F in many areas here. Let's just say that's made it even more challenging, but hey, don't forget all the mosquitos that had me for dinner all those days and nights. This brings me to this article I was reading about some new vehicles not having spare tires when you buy them. Let me give you a nice scenario and see how you will feel about it if you didn't have a spare tire. It's new years day, everything is closed and you're driving back from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. The weather is not so great, it's a desert after all. You've been driving for about maybe half an hour when you get a flat tire. The traffic is stop and go coming out of there all the way to Los angeles. You go back to the car, put that spare tire on the car, hopefully you have checked the air on it when you checked all the others as well. Then you're back on the road. Good thing it's stop and go traffic because you can't go faster than about 60 on a spare. In short it takes 11 hours to get from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, but you made it with the spare tire. All is well because there was a spare tire. A very tiring long trip but you're made it. Well, this actually happened to a friend of mine and me coming from there. It was no fun, but we did made it back home. Now check out what they say about it in the article, maybe my story will change your mind about not having a spare tire. I think it's silly not to have one, but that's just me. Also, don't forget to check the air on your spare tires. I seem to find them pretty flat most of the time.

Google adds free remote desktop application to chrome browser.

Here's one more way you can now access your computer. It's still in sort of beta but so far it seems to work. They still need to work on the resolution as that still didn't looked so great when I tested it out. It's nice, simple and quick so I give it thumbs up. Obviously it's nice when you are the one helping people out, but keep in mind that the "bad" guys will used these as well. So just make sure you follow the instructions before using these types of programs.

Here you can see the remote desktop I used to test this out. The video still didn't look so great but the app worked fine otherwise.

Youtuber account seems to have vanished.

Yesterday I posted a youtube video for the new Urus from heather valentine. She's been making videos for some time now but I was checking things out today and saw that video is now gone. Actually the whole account seems to be gone. Here's what that account looks like at the moment. Something really weird is going on with youtube lately. I have noticed this in the last week. Then again, there were other music videos that had been messed with before this one. Hey youtube, you may want to check your servers. Everything else seems to be working fine. Here's the screenshot of that first lamborghini video I posted yesterday.

Flip phones! No they're not dead.

One type of phone that I miss a lot are flip phones, yeah those simple, small but clear and loud phones that we used to have. A couple of days ago a city worker or who I'll just call him that was working here and he was using a flip phone on speaker that was very loud and clear. I of course had to ask him about it. I found out it was made by Kyocera. Today I went and looked at their page and sure enough, they make these phones. I just like the simplicity and usability of these type of phones. I know of a lot of older people that would rather have these than any android smartphone. For a good reason, they are more confusing to them and many of them just don't use any of those other features. They just want something to make calls and not have to worry about all those updates and random ads. Not to mention freezes due to updates and just a number of random things that can happen with smartphones. In short, here's the page where you can find some of these. My current smart phone is hard to see outside and even at max volume I can't hear much unless it's next to my ear when there is some noise in the surroundings. In any case, these new phones seem to have updated software too. I just need to find if they have anything that's not locked in to any provider.
Did I forget to mention that they work globally too!

Youtube scam?

A couple of days ago I posted about that debt letter scam. Today I was just randomly checking some youtube videos and saw this one by Naomis video. I have seen one or two of her build videos and this one caught my attention because she said that she wasn't going to be making any more videos for a while. I just found this as odd since that's just not a normal thing for someone that builds stuff on a regular basis. The interesting part is that I found another video of another youtuber whose video I have also watched. Not many but they were about things that I was actually interested in. Naomi builds stuff and the other youtuber fixes computers but I was watching a video of a soldering iron or something like that at the time. In any case I noticed a  link to one of his videos in the comments of her video where he basically talks about what seems to be the same company trying to do the same thing to him back then. It's a long video, but it's hard not to put the two together if you have watched these  youtubers even if only a couple of times. Not to mention if you're even slightly interested in what they may be working on at the time. So needles to say, this seems to be yet another scam like that letter in a different form. They really seem to screw people with this one even more. So check the videos out. I'll post both below, but it's something to be aware of. Someone once tried to do something similar to me in a smaller scale, but needless to say I knew better than to accept too.

Coffee and cancer warning in California.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43594645

Scam notice of debt.

A person just asked me to check on this letter that they just received. Obviously something just didn't add up for a couple of reasons. The letter is after so called medical services rendered. There is no mention of what services and where. Second, I know for a fact that this person has not been hospitalized for anything. Third I looked up the company on the top of the page. There is a company with that name, but none of those phone numbers on the letter match any phone number on their website for that company. I decided to call the local office of that company in our state which apparently is also different from where this company is located. They are in Texas which just reminded me of a story I read a while back about some company from Texas suing tech companies about software licensing I think when they were not. Needless to say, this thing just doesn't add up for other reason because the city already has everyone's information and they would contact you directly and not through something like this. The PO boxes are also not in any of their contact pages. In any case I'm posting the letter which comes in two languages so I guess it depends on what you speak. I have taken off the information of that person but I wanted to show you what this looks like. I want people to be aware of these things. I'll also post some other links to pages talking about this particular letter and company. Now I don't know the actual company but I know for a fact that there is something very fishy about this letter. This has also been going on for sometime. I know that there are legitimate collection agencies, but when they are throwing things out like this to see who bites, that's when I have a problem. Because they don't have their facts correct. Not to mention this is for over fifteen hundred dollars. I won't say exactly how much but just to give you an idea. So it's not a few dollars either.

The only other example I can think of is this. We used to get random bills at one company for things I knew that I had not purchased. The good thing was that the accounting personnel would always ask me about anything that they were not sure of. The company was small enough that I only used maybe two or three vendors so we knew what we actually bought for my department. I just told them not to pay any those bills because I knew they were not from any actual purchases. Of course accounting also knows who is buying what and from where. Nothing ever happened because whoever the scammer was would not be stupid enough to come and claim a fake bill. If they did, the police wasn't too far.

In short, anyone can find your information nowadays. Make sure to verify things before even calling any number on anything you get. Specially if you know something just doesn't add up.

Here are a couple of links I have found regarding this type of letter.

What does it really cost to repair a tesla out of warranty, if you can even get the parts or service information.

This is a good look at this because I have a problem with a manufacturer that you can't get the service manual or even any information on fixing your own car if you are knowledgeable enough to do the work yourself. Not to mention companies making cars more disposable. There's nothing more annoying than trying to get a part for a car that has been more reliable than anything, but you can't get the parts to fix it because it's some years older. Now I can understand why that new law about being able to fix things are being written. Why do companies need to be told this is beyond me, but that's where Tesla seems to be with this. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

I think I just found the most interesting router and switch in one pc. Looking at my small router and separate 8 port switch, this would clean things up a bit real nice if I ran my own firewall.

I have always looked for something with more ports, but most routers are usually 4, 6 or 6 ports. This one comes with 10 plus the two on the back. Or you could just use something smaller and just plug into a large switch, but that's not what I have at home, but I could use the extra ports to run less pieces of hardware. If you have more cables than this supports though, you don't want to use this as it gets ugly and heavy with all the cables. That's when things become a nice mess of noodles.

I grew up with this cartoon as I'm sure many others around the world did. Aside from being one of those timeless cartoons I think the best part about many of these cartoons where not just the cartoon characters themselves, but the positive messages these programs had. We always looked forward to them and after they were over, you just felt good. So I hope this catches up again instead of a lot of the junk you see today. I didn't even know that they had made a new movie, but I don't see the English version here in the United States. Maybe there is, I don't know from what I have seen. I do speak Spanish so maybe I can watch that one. In any case, I'm sure many will remember this character.

When I got home this afternoon, my dad told me that my grandmother had passed away, his mother. The last one I had. News like this are always surreal. I got to see her a few years back, she didn't recognize me, but I did and she looked the same to me. I had not seen her for over 20 plus years before that I think. It was nice to see her again, little did I know it was going to be the last time I see her in person again.

Here's a real sample of genetic engineered food. I just saw this the other day when I was looking for some hot chocolate.

I was walking around at the 99 cent store the other day looking for some hot chocolate since it was cold. I like to look at all the sugar and other things that are in what I buy and noticed this on this package. If you don't look at what you are buying, you are probably already eating engineered food. Not that there's anything wrong this cocoa, but I had never seen this in anything before. I like my regular foods and none of that marketing that is used to hike up prices for just good old natural foods. I just thought this was interesting. I know this has been around for a while now, but I had just never seen it myself. If you don't believe me, just go to any 99 cent store here in the USA and pick up some of this cocoa.

Well, that's just scary.

Microsoft edge warning when reading an article from their main page, which oddly enough is full of ads at the bottom.

Firefox still seems to be getting bloated on the memory side so I thought I use Microsoft edge to see if there was any difference. Now I have an ad blocker in one, but not the other. I was just reading an article from edge which I'll post here in a second. While waiting for that video to show, here's a warning that just started automatically in that browser. Oddly enough all their articles on their main page have ads at the bottom. So you can't even read anything without getting all this junk nowadays. At least here in the united states. This is why I don't even bother reading much of the local sites and newspapers. You can't even get through an article without being bombarded with junk and pop ups. The best part is the recording telling you all about it while this displayed on the screen. I thought it recorded but unfortunately the voice didn't. So I'll just show you the error. I did not install any software, I just opened Microsoft Edge, clicked on an article and was reading it. The best part, check out the bad grammar on the text. Why would Microsoft let these ads or adware play is beyond me.

Introductory programming classes.

I thought this was an interesting article. The only programming class I took when I was at the university was a C++ course. I can say that I have to agree with the writer here. That class was like putting a non Chinese speaking person in a Chinese class. I'm using this as an example of course, but if you have never done anything with any sort of programming, this is what you end up with. It was an interesting class, but I barely made it through. This is definitely a class you don't want to start with as a beginner. This is how I found out programing just wasn't for me.  I guess the point with anything is that you have to find a way to start an introducing any subject in a way that's a little less confusing and intimidating and work from there. I think programming is one of those things, you either like it or you don't. And if you're not careful you can really turn people off from any subject no matter how good you are. I always thought about making video games, I used to like them a lot growing up, but then all the programming languages just didn't make sense to me back then which was a lot different than today. I got better at other things though. I even learned HTML. But even now, there are faster and easier ways to make pages without all the nitty gritty of me having to code each page.

Porsche is getting into electric cars too.

Electric cars are nice, but as more and more get into the streets, things will get more crowded and lines will get longer at chargers. I'm still waiting to see who will be the one to put the solar chargers on the car themselves so that you don't have to wait for it to charge from a plug. Cars do sit outside most of the time so it just makes sense.
