Apple iOS 10.3.3 Update

Another update is out by Apple, but as always we recommend waiting a few days to enjoy the calmness and prepare for any storm that may be following...

It looks as though this will be the last update for Apple in the 10's, so be prepared for 11...

We feel that any phone under 7 might have issues with 11, so tread cautiously if updating to 11 and make sure you back up first...

*UPDATE**

iPhone 7, 6 and 5s have now been updated without a hitch...

If you're phone was running good before it'll be running just fine after updating to 10.3.3, with one exception...the iPhone 5s will be running better...

iOS 10.3.2 left the iPhone 5s with latency issues with the keyboard, hard to press icons and glitchy screen changes...

You'll be relieved to know the 10.3.3 fixes all those issues, so it's best to update as soon as possible...

As always, check your iTunes make sure it's up to date, if so, backup your iPhone just in case you have to go backwards, oh, and make sure you have enough room on your phone first...

The update only took about 5 minutes, have fun...

Here's an Idea...

Match Face...

Have you ever been on the other side of the phone thinking about what the other person looks like...

Or what about listening to the radio, trying to figure out what the person looks like by the sound of their voice...

When it comes to radio, you can rest assured there is a reason why they are the voice on the radio, hence the term, you have a face for radio...

Although when talking on the phone to someone you have never met, your imagination begins to design an interpretation your mind has perceived that person should look like based on your mood and preconceived notions...

Want need and desire come into play when trying to analyze the voice and tone of a person which often confuses the outcome you have perceived that person to be if one ever meets the face of a voice...

What if you could take this curiosity most people endure to a game show...

Contestants would hear a voice and would try to guess what that person would look like based only on a conversation that people have every day...

It would be a point based system based on the ethnicity, the size and the color of the hair of a person...

The dynamics of the show are based around political correctness and the evolutionary state we are in right now on describing how a person looks...

Previously people would just call a person fat, to more recently, plus size, but even that term has become fauxpas for today's standards and has been replaced with curves or fiercely real...

The compound adjective of the hyphenated ethnicity has also created a dynamic to the game which could be a daily double type scenario, like African-American or Asian Americans to European Americans or quite the opposite, White American, or even Black American...

Just because you can trace your heritage back to a certain region doesn't necessarily mean you associate with that genealogy anymore, based upon the length of time your family has been removed from that element which in turn has created a new generation...American...

Just choosing to use what has become standard is not standard any more in today's standard which changes daily based on the fact that America is more diverse than it ever has been before...

America is more evolved than any other nation on the planet due to the fact that we allow multi-generational people's which has given America a step up in the evolutionary gene pool...

Our Cultural diversities has given rise to a more modern way of thinking and reacting which has left the rest in the dust when it comes to conversing and relating to one another...

This game will show how far ahead we are and how far behind some people are when it comes to describing what you think you see a person as, and how that person identifies themselves...

We also think that it would be better to keep the audience in suspense as well, this way you prevent the rebuttal, oh I knew that, or how stupid are they that they couldn't figure that out...

We also think that you shouldn't be given a choice of three images to decide which person it could be, like one of our cohorts considered...

Although, we think it would be a good idea to include the audience as well as online watchers to be able to text in their answers, this way the contestants could choose their answer or go on their own...

This gives it away to much in our opinion, and if you think about it, the only image you have are the images you've gathered on your own, and leaves little for advanced interpretation...

Remember, we are trying to think outside the box, removing stereotype and in the process meeting a new person and creating a new relationship with someone you might have thought you would have never been able to connect with before...

Opening the door even wider to help create a forgiveness and acceptance for the past transgressions we have thrown on one another and acceptance for the things we have no power of being able to change...

The game also opens the door to a possible romance that can be created and those contestants could be brought back on the game to see if their stereotypes have changed based on their new interpretations...

This game also creates the ability to open a dialogue by opening up the discussion with contestants from all walks of life that only America has the ability to do...and that's a fact!

What was that...

"Shares have fallen in recent weeks amid slower-than-expected trading at HPE Software and ahead of an expected sell-off as American funds that do not own foreign shares sell their existing stakes"
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/07/12/micro-focus-shares-slump-hp-deal-approaches/

HPE has quietly begun to lay off yet more programmers and software engineers...
http://www.zdnet.com/article/new-round-of-hpe-software-layoffs-begin/

How does this story go...oh yeah, have the shareholders buy as much stock as they can even if the price goes down, just keep telling them it will be a great buy you'll see, while the Top Execs sell of their shares and design an exit strategy for Meg Whitman to prepare her for her run at Governor of California...

Mhmm...

5hVnz Book of the Month...

Thinking of the classics, this is a book that everyone should read if they are thinking of moving away from the billiards room and moving out to the range...

Pool is a game a lot of younger people play, because it's cheap and fairly easy to master because the field of view never changes...

Sure you can hear of a tighter pocket table, or faster greens, but it's just a rectangle with the same six holes in the same positions, the only difference is the accuracy of the shot...

When you're ready to move on from the musky old pool room to get some fresh air, try taking up golf...

The best thing about Golf is that, it's never the same game twice, so it will never get boring...

Sure, you'll get frustrated more, but that's because it's not a game you can master...

There's an old saying in golf, it's not a game you can win, it's a game you can play:

"When you play to win, you create tension and pressure that adversely affects your brain's chemistry and your ability to perform. If you play to play, you are relaxed and give yourself a chance to perform at a much higher level so you can win. However, as true as this is, most golfers continue to get caught up in the outcome and winning, which causes their game to suffer."

Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/198779.Ben_Hogan_s_Five_Lessons

The best thing about golf with today's health conscious minds is your ability to get in your 5000 steps a day, so when the wifey complains about you being on the golf course all the time just remind her, honey, I got my 5000 steps in today, and she'll reply, that's awesome honey, and the argument is over...and that's a fact!

**UPDATE**

We heard some great advice from a long time player of the game when we asked them if my Club was too high on my return:

"There's no magic move, this elbow or those hips. Everyone thinks there is. There is only repeatable and not repeatable. Every swing change is only to make your swing easier to repeat identically. What do Jim Furyk, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan's and Jack Nicklaus's swing have in common? Not a damn thing, except they've won all majors."

Here's an Idea...

It's time to reboot the Andy Griffith Show...

Opie Taylor  (Ron Howard) goes back home to visit his roots, to reconnect with his younger self...

However, Mayberry isn't the town he remembers, and has turned to a complete and utter disaster...

Homelessness, drugs, slow business, and a corrupt Sherriff behind it all...

There is a bit of nostalgia to the Sherriff, with the bumbling idiot of a Deputy and the Sherriff brave enough not to wear a gun considering he thinks he's above the law...

Floyd's barber shop is still there, but the kids have turned it into a bookie location and an underground gambling room...

They felt if Grandpa could do it, they could do it to, however, like the youth of today, they lack the facts surrounding the situation...

They've also been dumping chemicals in the woods and burying the barrels in the ground and covering them up with concrete, cementing the chemical into the soil and leaking into the water system...

Opie's mother and father are buried together at the old cemetery where he visits them and insists that he is going to clean up the town...

Emphasis on his mother that died when he was very young and how that impacted his adulthood...

The idea is to bring back human value, respect for others and a willingness to work together to make progress happen for everyone, not just an individual...

Freshly baked pies on the window sill, a family working and playing together in the yard, entertaining the bachelor and his kid next door...

Yesterday's values with todays realities and an unwillingness to accept the status quo...

Opie is a good kid and doesn't believe in violence and vows to his father that he'll abide by his values and clean up the town and restore it to what it once was...

**UPDATE**

Here's what we see...

You have to get Opie (Ron Howard) back to the town somehow, and we see that he left a girlfriend back there that passes away and he has to go back for the funeral...

Little does he know that there is another girl that stayed in Mayberry that also likes him and is the one who calls him to tell him the bad news...

Come to find out the girl who dies used to work for the city and her death is left with questions and they think that she discovered something and might have been killed because of it...

Mayberry is just as naïve as it always has been, but life around them has evolved and there will be a bit of nostalgia to attract the people that grew up with the show, but more modern to attract a new crowd...

There's nothing wrong with creating a storyline on where Opie has been all these years and what he has grown up to be, but you'll need a little action to attract younger viewers...

After 4 hours of research we have determined that the Monthly "Quality" Rollup for Windows 7 is causing explore to fail...
 
We like the word "Quality" in this update, and Microsoft has promised that it would not fail in the new way of updating with this rollup updates procedure, but now they have...
 
Do not load KB4022168 until "Quality" control fixes the update...
 
Is this Microsoft's attempt to force you into Windows 10 again, are they creating errors like they create gridlock to force people onto transit...
 
It's an optional update so it won't automatically download, it has to be manually chosen...
 
You have a problem Microsoft...and that's a fact!

**UPDATE**

More problems with KB4022168...

Click->KB4022168

**UPDATE**

Well, well...well, it looks as though Microsoft has removed update KB40...22..16...8 :-D they have become very very sneaky lately...

Outlook users also experienced problems with KB4022168 and Microsoft has provided a patch for them, but only for 64bit users...

Microsoft we mentioned awhile ago about not putting all your eggs in one basket, and that is what you are doing with Windows 10 and banking that everyone will change, even upgrading them for free, but now even that has backfired on you...

The latest Windows 10 update is causing issues for computers that are only a few year old and you forcefully upgraded them, and coincidently enough, a guarantee was provided by you for them that as long as they upgraded they'd be fine...

Microsoft has already admitted that Windows 10 will only work best on certain hardware, but that was the small print, and by legality standards has given them a way out of any liability thrown against them by any user that feels they have been jilted when they find out their hardware won't support the latest Windows 10 advancement...

Their other way out is that they will still be responsible for security updates like they do for most surpassed software versions, but that can only last for so long...

Like Windows 7 support, it's hard to staff and afford support for a version that is no longer considered mainstream and the users that were updated to Windows 10 with outdated hardware will feel they fall under the umbrella of the Windows 10 agreement, but that will only last until Windows 11 comes out...

That is how Microsoft will get out of any legality agreements/promises they've made to the end user that they updated overnight without their permission...

Microsoft cuts off Windows 10 support early for some PCs...

Just like they secretly removed KB4022168 so will they remove Windows 10...and that's a fact!

The New American Dream...


Child: Mom, when I grow up I wanna live in a tent in the middle of a sidewalk underneath a highway with a brown pallet fence...

Mom: Well honey, you don't have to wait until you grow up, you can live that dream today...

Child: I can...

Mom: You sure can...

Child: How...

Mom: Well, all we have to do is get in an argument about, oh let's say...eating your vegetables, I'll say, you need to eat your vegetables and you'll say, you can't make me, and I'll say, while you live under this roof you'll follow my rules and you'll say, well then I'm leaving, and you're on your way to living your dream...

Child: Really? That's all I gotta do...

Mom: Yep...

Child: What am I gonna do about food...

Mom: Don't worry honey, people will give you food all the time, and if you're adventurous you'll find food in some of the most unusual places and it's all free...

Child: Wow, that's sounds cool...

Mom: Sure, and on certain days of the week you can go to the Food Bank where you can get all the cookies and beans your little heart desires...

Child: I like Cookies...

Mom: I know you do honey, and remember, you can always come back and eat here, but I'm gonna put veggies on the plate and I know how much you don't like them...

Child: What about clothes...

Mom: You can take as many clothes as you can carry in your knapsack from your closet here, and dad won't mind if you take the tent from the garage. People like giving away their things to people that don't want to pay for them, so get used to that kind of generosity...

Child: Really, for free, so why don't you do that mommy...

Mom: Well someone has to provide for the people that get mad at their mommy's and runaway because they don't want to eat their vegetables...

Child: What if you're not home...

Mom: Don't worry, just break a window and break in and take whatever you want, people love that when it happens...

Child: What if I get a scratch on my knee...

Mom: They have a solution for that too honey, it's called "Free Healthcare" and you'll be able to get a free Band-Aid paid for by the working class people...

Child: Will they blow on my booboo and make it all feel better...

Mom: No honey, that's what mommy's are for...

Child: Oh...

Mom: Now dreams aren't easy to come by honey so you'll have to build up some resentment for the days that don't go so well for you...

Child: Huh...

Mom: Sure, most people have a story about how they blame everyone else for their problems and why they are in the situation they are in, and soon you'll start sharing your stories about the people you blame for putting you in the situation you are in...

Child: I will...

Mom: Sure, you can tell them that your mommy used to make you eat your vegetables and that if you were going to live under her roof you're gonna have to follow her rules...

Child: Oh yeah, that's a good one for sure mommy....

Mom: Of course it is honey, but that'll be just the start of it, you'll gain some more ideas when you're out on your own...

Child: I will...

Mom: You sure will and after awhile those stories and all those people that put you in that position will start to weigh on you and before you know it, you'll develop a drug problem...

Child: I'm gonna do drugs, but you said drugs are bad mommy...

Mom: Well you won't be living under my roof anymore, so you can do what you want and make those decisions for yourself...

Child: Wow, that sounds Awesome, I'll be able to do what I want...
 
Mom: Not Awesome honey, Amazing, you don't want people to laugh at you, so try to make sure you stay current with what's trending...
 
Child: Wow, that sounds...Amazing :-)

Mom: That's right honey, and you won't have to answer to anybody, and as a matter of fact, they now have a facility where they'll give you free needles and drugs and people to hang out with and the best part is, the government approved it, so you won't even get in trouble for having drugs...

Child: REALLY...

Mom: Really...

Child: I can't wait to start living my dream mommy...

Mom: Well you don't have to, remember....

Child: You mean...

Mom: That's right, all we need to do is get in a fight about eating your veggies and you'll be on your way to living that dream...

Child: Okay, I'M NOT GONNA EAT MY VEGGIES AND I DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW YOUR RULES ANYMORE MOMMY, I'M LEAVING...like that mommy...

Mom: Perfect, then I say, go ahead and see if I care, you'll be begging me to come back...

Child: No I won't because you're gonna make me eat my veggies and tell me drugs are bad for me...

Mom: Now you're gonna want to stomp around and slam the door when you leave to make it feel official, theatrics are great for these types of situations...

Child: stomp stomp stomp, SLAM!...

Mom: Honey, you almost forgot your Participation Trophy...

Child: Oh, thanks mommy, I'm sure that will come in real handy...

Mom: Okay, now get out of here and start making me feel ashamed of myself...

Child: Okay mom, thanks...

Mom: You'll be back, you'll see...

Child: No I won't...

Mom: :-)

Child: :-)
