New Phone > Paired to New Car > This Comes Up?

Dec 1 2015

It’s a days-old Android, connected via WiFi, to a 2015 Jeep Cherokee with about 300 km.

As in – clean as it gets.

And this appears? The phone never rang? It’d been paired for about 4 minutes, it just popped up.

Don’t know what it means, but do think Facebook hooks deeper into our phones than we realize.

I’ve never given FB access to my photos, or contacts.

Find the Actual Number of LinkedIn Connections

Nov 30 2015

Know how the number of Linkedin connections stops at 500+ …

The real number is just 1 click.

It works regardless if your accounts are connected or not.

Triangle beside their name > hover over, menu appears >

Updated my LinkedIn Account Finally, Really

Nov 26 2015

Took this screenshot, gave it a long, last look…

… then changed my account name and URL to my real name – .com/KeriPotipcoe

Goodbye to my non-real-name,
fully functional LinkedIn account

(huh Keri? See this post)

Been adding videos to my page, and photos like above.

The header came together well.

8 years of a game, the end.

My Facebook account will remain Keri CDN.  Ya I have one of those ha.

Beware of Bots in your Instagram Feed

Sep 29 2015

Few weeks ago, I Instagramed the below photo, along with the hashtag #MrRobot

Within 13 seconds of posting, the account florstyles12 replied with the below comment.

By the next day, the comment had been deleted.

The Attack

A popular hashtag is posted > bot is programmed to automatically reply > reply is full of links to other accounts > curious recipient visits other accounts > malware is waiting in one of them

The Defence

Time. Note how fast the reply came back.

There’s no way to type those 8 tags in 13 seconds… try it. Right?!

Therefore – must be an automated reply, therefore not clicking and getting involved.

Think before you click.

I Like Nothing on Facebook

Sep 9 2015

Since the start, I have liked no page, no interest, no group, nothing.

Why? Makes it tougher to track, predict behaviour, or use against me in the future. Because if you don’t think that’s possible… side eye face.
