Our EXCLUSIVE VID of MIRACLE TECH: Charge your phone in 16 SECONDS – WIRELESSLY

Rhomboid

This is probably the only device I've seen that could inspire a rush of bored housewives to start tinkering with electronics at hacker spaces. Their the only demographic that can flatten batteries as fast as blackberry users.

On a side note, i find it odd that i haven't seen any write ups on this snazzy bit of IOT tech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJklHwoYgBQ

Sound advice

Congrats on tying the knot Dewix,

From the info you did provide, to save yourself a world of hurt in the long haul, (I'm sure someone's speech at your wedding reminded you that her family are now your family)

as a bare minimum follow the sound advice from several other posters above:

1. Don't waste time fixing up every thing, go for a fresh install (time allocation: 2 pints +? for installing apps)

2. Harden her preferred browser with the suggestions by the venerable rm -rf *.*, ghostery and self-destructing cookies also recommended to minimise her browser slow down and reduce future attack vectors. If she likes watching the occasional cat video on youtube, add https://www.youtube.com/html5 to her bookmarks.

(time allocation: 1 pint)

3. Change her user account to remove useless start up apps and remove admin privileges.

4. Setup remote management so you can do future maintenance from home via VNC (3&4: time allocation 1 pint)

5. Use carbon copy cloner to make a fully functional back up, so no matter what happens you never have to sit around your inlaws drinking pints on sunday afternoon unless mandated by law. (time allocation: Sunday Roast)

As several people have mentioned, AV on it's own isn't worth a whole lot and probably won't save you from tech support emergencies during an FA cup final.

Putin seeking Sponsorship?

After their success sponsoring a NASCAR driver, I suggest the Doge coin community jumps onboard, joint venture style with the Moon coin community to crowd fund the enterprise.

Obvious choice of slogan...... To the moon!

Aye!

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to Haarp on it. Most folk are afraid to publicly address conspireggcies.

Are they serious?

I'm outraged, people don't use the internet to raise awareness, share information or call others to action. Enough allegations and restrictions of our civil liberties... start tweeting your friends, we're forming a lynch mob!
