Re: The control-G vm fusion question again

Re: How does one get to know your e-mail address?
Oh I do too but I hear more and more creative scams on the news. Latest one is virtual kidnapping. The woman this happened to said the caller warned her not to hang up but follow directions and her daughter would be safe. She was to drive to Western Union and send 10 grand in some form of currency that cannot be traced. He tracked her all the way, knew exactly where she was at any given moment. Of course her daughter had not been kidnapped and that 10 grand was gone forever.

Re: Emergency Text Messaging
Verizon is my carrier. I think as the emergency responders do. Plan plan plan and expect the unexpected. From E.T.'s Keyboard...

Verizon has both battery backups and generators at their cell sites. Verizon was one of the only networks available during Katrina for example. AT uses battery backups good for 8 hours but does not have generators. T-Mobile I believe uses both battery backups and generators at their main sites, Sprint is very hit or miss with no backup or batteries only. AT has a big investment in a thing called cows or cells on wheels. They can roll a cow to a site that’s diminished or needs more capacity. You’ll see these a lot of the time during natural disasters or say in the parking lot of the stadium hosting the world series or some major event. They were for ever rolling them around San Francisco for a lot of the rock festivals. Verizon has some of these but fewer as they tend to over engineer the permanent cell site. Remember in earthquakes other things can break for example fiber trunks or the towers can fall over. Another thing, all the carriers have generators and battery backups on their central offices. Cable providers usually have batteries on the cable head ends and terminals. Hope that helps.

As a percentage of the population, at no point in our history have fewer people been in a state of war. THere’s a very good book called the end of Violence which demonstrates on a historical basis that actual remarkable decrease in violence that’s taken place over the last several thousand years. At this point, less than 1% of the population lives in a conflict zone which is vastly reduced from even the beginning of the 20th century let alone farther back. Next, Apple working on cars had absolutely 0 to do with their bottom line. Apple has 233 billion in cash in the bank which is more than the economic output of Ireland to put it somewhere near your UK for reference. Apple is worth more than most countries on the planet so whether they spend a billion or 2 on cars makes 0 difference to the bottom line. Apple brings in over a billion per day in revenue on a gross basis and operates somewhere around a 38% margin so that’s 380 million in the bank every day. If anything, Apple needs to go on a spending spree and start bringing some new talent in house. Apple for example could buy Tesla, Twitter, and still barely have to dip in to the bank account. And just like it was offensive for my president to involve himself in your politics and try to bully his way in to your brexit decision, we’d kindly ask that you British stay out of ours, remember what happened the last time you tried to force your will on the colonies? :) (I’m kidding of course, your opinions are always welcome) I would however seriously recommend that book for your consideration. Our media and by our I mean the world or at least the western world media creates so many artificial stories that aren’t based on reality at all that if you watched anything whether it’s the beeb or CBS or the Clinton News Network or what ever you’d think the world is burning in a fireball of war, it’s not, not even close. Massive blocks of people trade with each other who never did before, your continent of Europe has reduced it’s wars and aside from a few hotspots which are definitely disturbing the vast vast majority of us live in a peaceful world.

I'm not even going to reveal their gender. Anyway, he/she has just recently obtained an iPhone. They are incredibly new to the iPhone world. In fact, they are new to the smart phone world in general. When they go into settings, Cellular, they see things using data like Apple Music, YOutube, etc. I tried to explain to them that yes, those things are turned on, as they are set to where cellular data is allowed to be used with the apps. I told them that if they either turn off any of those apps, or for that mind, do what they wanna do by totally turning cellular off completely, that's not a very wise idea in most cases. I tried explaining that when cellular is off, then nothing will work if they're on the Verizon cellular 4G/LTE network. The only time they'd have data internet connectivity would be if they were on a wifi network. Obviously, they don't believe me, or don't understand, one of the two. I don't know how to explain this any easier. I told them that all they're doing by disabling those apps under there like Apple Music, etc. is, they're not disabling the apps from currently! using data. All they're doing is disabling the apps so they never! will use cellular. The example I gave them was, if they turn off Apple Music, then any time they move out of range of their wifi, they won't be able to use Apple Music, as they've disabled it from being able to be used with Cellular. I told them, if they turn off cellular entirely, then they won't be able to receive phone calls nor make calls, etc. unless they are on a wifi network, as they do have wifi calling enabled. Of corse, if they're on wifi, then their internet would also work regardless, but as soon as they move away from the wifi range, their internet would go kaput

I also did the dark blue colored Otterbox Defender. So, is there anything I should try on this baby that I may find either different, or a huge improvement to? I know about it now having the two rear cameras. Does it also have two front facing cameras? Also, with this thing now in the case, I can't quite tell, but where're the two stereo speakers? It looks like they're both on the bottom of the phone with the lightning in between? Is that accurate, or not quite. I thought they were frontfacing not bottom facing, but I could be wrong. Yeah, that headphone jack's definitely gone all right. God that feels trippy! BTW, I really really like the new home button, how they put 3D force touch into it instead of it being a physical button that literally moves when pressed. I have my click set on 2, and for me, that's perfect! I'm still frustrated that I don't get both the Siri enhanced voices, but oh well, that's ok. And you know, guys? With these speakers being so much better? I might not wind up needing it. I might actually be able very well to get away with Alex. I'm gonna try. Also, is it just me, or am I correct that the thing is more responsive and faster than the 6+? Good! God that sounds good! Right as I was typing, Alex finnished downloading, and started barreling through. Wow! I'm impressed! Again, is there anything you'd say to try specifically that I may either see is different/new, or that I may see a huge improvement in with performance? I hear the battery in this thing is freaking insane!

I wonder whether it's because I've done a few clean installs of OS operating system on two macbooks and they persist there in the list although they actually do not exist. Is there a way of refreshing the list? I thought I could just sign out of icloud for it to happen but I received a warning message that if I were to sign out of icloud, all my cards will be removed from Apple pay, and it seemed too great a price to proceed. So I'm asking, has anyone else encountered this issue and is there another way of removing the unwanted devices from the list altogether?

This seem likely then to, as on their phones, see the increasing removal of all mechanical parts on Macs. To my mind the disappearance of all the specialist keys apart from possibly the basic Qwerty set is pretty inevitable given the travel of their thought.Obviously speculation but I think intelligent speculation given their record. It will be a little in the future but I believe that they would probably want to eventually get rid of even the Qwerty keyboard, possibly accomodating touch typists by using virtual keys in much the same way as the home button has been recently replaced by a virtual version on the iPhone 7. You would have a nice pretty smooth look not spoilt by the "old fashinoned" look of technology with keyboards. the argument will be everybody will be dictating anyway. . I can hear the debate now. "Old fashioned" touch typists who had an issue with this would probably be invited to use a bluetooth keyboard in the same way as they do on their phones. I personally will not be buying one of these in the future when they arrive, or if I did , I would immediately attach a proper keyboard.

Hi,
Sounds like a phishing expedition. These have found there way to
gMail, Google Apps and other big eMail providers. They are designed
to get you to login to a fake web page with your gMail, Live or
whatever account. They will then gain access to your password, your
contacts and much more. Often they will change some things in your
eMail settings like your return address, and/or set up filters or
blocks to further mess with your account. If you didn't login,
you're fine. The best thing to do from the prospective of the
affected user is to change your password, as was already done, but
to also set up two step or two factor authentication. This usually
will make it so that this sort of attack is no longer an option.
Later...

Re: Attention Aleeha Dudley
So click the Block link. Simple as that. You are now safe. Simple as that. This requires no further attention. From E.T.'s Keyboard...

The odd thing is, rather than showing the message, there is a link I have to click to view the message. When I scanned the link before openning it, it didn't appear to be infected, so therefore I opened it. Now, it wants to give something called Zorpia access to my Google account. I'm not sure I feel comfortable doing that. I have no idea what Zorpia is. Aleeha, I welcome you to e-mail me directly, but please don't send me anything through Zorpia, until you further explain both what it is, and what your reasonings were for sending that to me.

Re: Urgent, urgent Apple Logo appears with a message Installing Progress has not windows sometimes when I turn on My Mac computer!
Traci and all, I no longer pay any attention to such messages at login. My system seems to run just fine after I am logged in. I have a suspicion this anomaly is due to timing of events that take place during boot up. In other words, these events are not totally in sync and VO may be slightly out of sync and speaking events that are already done with. I see this occasionally when opening or closing apps or doing other tasks and I will hear something like "has no window". From E.T.'s Keyboard. . . I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.

I would like to see apple give genuine consideration to implementing the ability for users of voiceover to optionally sync settings between Devices using iCloud. This could be incredibly beneficial in terms of things like Dictionary pronunciations which can be given an extra option of making the announcement change local or for all devices. this idea would also be extremely useful because if you sign in using a new device you could have a prompt when voiceover first starts to import your settings from the cloud.

Re: My 10 Favorite iOS Apps of 2016
Mark, Nice way to wrap up the old year. How do those banking iOS apps compare to access via the web? This may be what I should work on in the new year. From E.T.'s Keyboard. . . I have seen the truth and it makes no sense. E-mail: ancient.ali...@icloud.com On 12/30/2016 12:28 PM, M. Taylor wrote: Hello Everyone, As the end of the year approaches, I thought I would share with you my favorite iOS apps as of 2016. First, keep in mind that I use all of the apps, listed below, via VoiceOver. Second, let me say that my most absolutely favorite apps are those of my banking institutions. For security reasons, I will not list them here but suffice it to say that they afford me an independence which I would never have dreamed possible even a few short years ago. I like them so much so that I conduct virtually all of my financial business via iOS. Third, I do not like, nore do I use subscription-based apps so none are listed here. Fourth, I will not list the native iOS apps, save two, because we all have instant access to them and, no doubt, have various opinions that will not be swayed one way or the other by public comment. The two native iOS apps that I have come to rely on a great deal are: 1. The Maps app. This app has gotten better and better with each passing year so much so that it has freed me from the subscription-based A T & T Navigator app, which, for many years, was a must-have for me. I use this app not only to facilitate vehicle navigation but also as a business telephone number and address lookup directory. And 2. The native iOS Wallet app with Apple Pay. This iOS feature has truly revolutionized my purchasing experience; if you have not yet done so, by all means, give it a try. Okay, on to my 10 favorite third-party iOS apps which are listed in no particular order, almost (smile). 1. The official Twitter app. Hands-down, this is my favorite app of all time. It's informative, fast and easy to use, fun, and allows me to participate in the global conversation. In fact, just the other day, the Wendy's restaurant chain posted one of my tweets to their page. 2. The CVS Pharmacy app. This app has greatly reduced the amount of time it takes me to order/refill my prescriptions. It also has a wonderful reminder feature for those who need help remembering when to take their meds. 3. The TV Guide Mobile app. Simply stated, with over 400 cable channels to choose from, I don't know how I would manage my television viewing without this marvelous tool that allows me to quickly and easily find what I want when I want it. The best part is that it provides episode descriptions. This is great when watching a marathon as I can determine which episodes I want to see, hour-by-hour. 4. The Over Drive app. As surprising as it may seem, recently I have been using this app on a daily basis in order to enjoy commercially available audiobooks. While the BARD/NLS app will always remain a must-have resource, I find that it's easier to find more recently produced titles via Over Drive. I strongly suggest that you become a member of as many public library systems as possible in order to maximize the number of available titles ready for download. For example, I currently have three library cards. I belong to two local city library systems and one local county library system. 5. Seeing Eye GPS XT and Nearby Explorer. I use the iOS native Maps apps for vehicle navigation and business lookup but when traveling alone, my go to apps are both Seeing Eye and Nearby Explorer. 6. The Downcast podcast player. Again, a must-have app, in my opinion. 7. The Nant Mobile Money Reader app. 8. The Digit Eyes apps remains a true and trusted resource for me. 9. The OO Tunes radio tuner. I love this app-especially during baseball season (smile). 10. Both the CapitalOne Mobile app and the CapitalOne Wallet app. I am truly amazed at the progress CapitalOne has made in 2016 in, as of this writing, making their products 100% VoiceOver accessible. Well, there you have it. I hope you find this, if not useful, then at least intertaining (smile). Please reply with your favorite iOS apps of 2016, okay? A Happy and blessed New Year to you all and may 2017 be the most accessible year ever. Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
