Worried about what might happen under a #TrumpNation? You can at least protect your online and digital presences from anything less than a NSA level intrusion. #security https://www.google.com/amp/s/static.theintercept.com/amp/surveillance-self-defense-against-the-trump-administration.html?_utm_source=1-2-2

I haven't read any of these and have only vaguely heard of a few of them, aside from Ursula K LeGuin.

I haven't read any of these and have only vaguely heard of a few of them, aside from Ursula K LeGuin. Everyone's heard of her. So, you're mileage may vary. https://www.google.com/amp/arstechnica.com/the-multiverse/2016/11/all-the-science-fiction-novels-you-need-to-make-it-through-winter/%3famp=1

Looks like we did get the #Spider-Man to trailer today. Woot!

Looks like we did get the #Spider-Man to trailer today. Woot! I'm just not a fan of the whole "Tony Stark takes Peter under his wing" thing. Spider-Man started out a loner. Had the movies not kept rebooting the character, yes, he could have grown into meeting the Avengers or whatnot, but Spider-Man was never mentored by anyone but trial and error. Here they're taking away his self-esteem I nation and turning him into the sidekick who goes rogue, rather than the hero. Maybe the trailer didn't accurately reflect the movie, though. Maybe it's all marketing because the Avengers are hot right now and Marvel/Disney are trying to capitalize on Robert Downy Jr's Iron Man popularity. I guess we'll see in July. https://youtu.be/xrzXIaTt99U

I uninstalled the Cortana app a few weeks ago for a number of reasons, most significantly the way it used my lock screen and made getting into my phone annoying. This is on Android, of course. I also don't use it on Win10 due to the requirement that GPS be turned on for it to function. Same with Google Now. Why do you need my physical location to answer a question or search the web for me? Sure, Now and Cortana need it for certain functions, but if GPS isn't turned on just make those functions unavailable or five less specific information. Yes, I know they (Microsoft and Google) want to track my device so they can sell my patterns and habits to advertisers, but I'd like to keep some mystery to the relationship. https://mspoweruser.com/microsoft-revamps-cortana-android-ios-fresh-new-look-brings-uk/

Oh good, our President-elect is going to have a side job to keep himself busy.
