Good Morning Everyone!

I woke up this morning but my Apple smartphone didn't!

If you own a smartphone, especially if you've owned it for a long time, you know that having your phone go belly up could be an absolute nightmare. Your first thought is, "My entire life is on that phone," calendar appointments, contacts, birthdays, anniversaries, email, and so many little utility apps. How will I get everything back if my phone is completely dead? Will I have to re-create everything? Wow, how much time will that take?

Fortunately, the entire phone is regularly backed up to Apple iCloud. So, I went to the Apple store at the Mall of America and replaced the phone, downloading the backup and installing all the apps, data, and content from my original phone! What a relief! The phone was expensive, but it was great to get it back, looking precisely like the one I lost.

Cloud backup is available for Android phones too.

*Make sure you check out Gulliver's Travels today. This is the last of 3 episodes in Argentina and Brazil.

Good Morning Everyone!

Grandma gets some bad news!

As we age, we look for fun and convenient places to retire. Of course everyone tells us to try Florida, Arizona, or San Diego! Who knew that a liquor store might be just the perfect place?

Special Bulletin!

* New COVID booster shot aimed at the latest Omicron BA.5 will be available in early September. Plan to shoot up as soon as possible!

* Newly approved Over-the Counter hearing aids approved for sale. Best Buy will offer them for sale (and assistance in purchasing, fitting, etc.) early this fall!

The Coachmen's Turntable SE (Apple Security fix)

8/20/2022

Hi Everyone!
This one we need to take seriously

This Special Edition of the TT is meant to make you aware of an important security risk on apple products. Please update your equipment as soon as possible!

Apple warns of security flaw for iPhones, iPads and Macs
Associated Press
AUGUST 19, 2022 — 8:05AM

An Apple iPhone 6S. Apple disclosed serious security vulnerabilities for iPhones, iPads and Macs that could potentially allow attackers to take complete control of these devices.

Look for this on all Apple devices and click to update.

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple disclosed serious security vulnerabilities for iPhones, iPads and Macs that could potentially allow attackers to take complete control of these devices.
Apple released two securityreports about the issue on Wednesday, although they didn't receive wide attention outside of tech publications.

Apple's explanation of the vulnerability means a hacker could get "full admin access" to the device. That would allow intruders to impersonate the device's owner and subsequently run any software in their name, said Rachel Tobac, CEO of SocialProof Security.

Security experts have advised users to update affected devices — the iPhone6S and later models; several models of the iPad, including the 5th generation and later, all iPad Pro models and the iPad Air 2; and Mac computers running MacOS Monterey. The flaw also affects some iPod models.

Apple did not say in the reports how, where or by whom the vulnerabilities were discovered. In all cases, it cited an anonymous researcher.

Commercial spyware companies such as Israel's NSO Group are known for identifying and taking advantage of such flaws, exploiting them in malware that surreptitiously infects targets' smartphones, siphons their contents and surveils the targets in real time.

NSO Group has been blacklisted by the U.S. Commerce Department. Its spyware is known to have been used in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America against journalists, dissidents and human rights activists.

Security researcher Will Strafach said he had seen no technical analysis of the vulnerabilities that Apple has just patched. The company has previously acknowledged similarly serious flaws and, in what Strafach estimated to be perhaps a dozen occasions, has noted that it was aware of reports that such security holes had been exploited.

   Coachmen Rally Details

When: Saturday, September 17, 2022
Where: The Courthouse Pub in Manitowoc
Time: 11:45 AM

I'm hoping you'll be able to attend. In addition, I'm looking for volunteers to capture the event on camera, so those not in attendance may join us "in spirit" afterward.

Could you let me know how many will attend as soon as possible? I'll finalize arrangements for the event with the folks at the Courthouse Pub. Then, as usual, we'll make a plan to keep the fun going in the afternoon.

I'm sure this can be a "maskless" event as we all have had our COVID and booster shots.

As usual, Joan & I will be hanging out in Manti Saturday nite. We plan to have dinner at "The Original Pizza Garden" on 8th street. Please let me know if you'd like to join us, and we'll make reservations.

Good Morning Everyone!

Ever wonder why we are all so screwed up? It's because every time we see a real opportunity, we have to question the motives of the person offering it! I'm pretty sure this little guy will never be the same.
