The Internet Patrol

Here is the entire full text of former president Donald Trump’s letter to the Jan 6 committee, in response to the subpoena issued by the January 6 Committee, issued on October 13th. This letter is 14 pages long, and we reprint it in full here, with no alterations, and also make it available as a PDF for download.

This free app provides a daily check-in service for seniors and shut-ins, and alerts their emergency contacts if they don’t respond within a certain period of time. Ever since the pandemic started the need for check-in apps for seniors living alone, as well as for shut-ins, has been amplified, and Snug is just about the perfect free check-in app for seniors and others.

In looking for how to cancel Apple subscriptions on the web using your browser (such as how to cancel an Apple subscription without an iPhone), you may have ended up quite frustrated when you found the Apple support page with a big blue button that says “Cancel a Subscription from Apple”, only to click on that button that says “Cancel a subscription” and find that it doesn’t take you to your Apple subscriptions at all, let alone let you cancel them!

In our last post, we briefly went over yabai, which is a tiling window manager for macOS. If you’re not experienced with Linux systems, the concept of a window manager (WM) is likely foreign to you, so I’ll pause briefly to provide an explanation and definition of a window manager, specifically a “tiling” WM.

The internet is a marvelous invention, and I could write a long series of dense books on why it’s marvelous, and what exactly makes it marvelous. Perhaps I shall. However, this format of media (being on the internet, of course) doesn’t exactly lend itself to long unengaging texts… Although hey,…

Have you ever felt the weight of minor disappointment sinking into your stomach after purchasing the newest iPhone only to find yourself more disconnected from its new fancy features? Like every step forward in the advancement of these tools leaves you still two steps behind last year’s big update?

If you’re one of the many mac users who’s spending a significant amount of time on your computer, you’ve likely spent some time thinking about how to speed up your workflow.

The best spam email blocker is not getting spammed in the first place. Here’s how to prevent spam email (or at least reduce the amount of spam you are getting) by removing your personal information from the Internet. You may already know this, but here in the United States, where the privacy laws are so lax, it’s perfectly legal for a company to scrape all of your contact information and then sell access to it. ZoomInfo, Spokeo, Crunchbase, Apollo.io, and RocketReach all do this, as do many others. And removing your data from those databases can help to reduce the amount of spam email that you receive. We’re going to tell you how to remove yourself from these top 5 sites, and then we’re going to tell you about a service that will remove you from all the sites (more than 500 of them), if you want to go in that direction.

If your Amazon Echo Alexa skill is not working, this may be why Alexa is not working for you, for example your Alexa news briefing not working. And especially if the symptom is Alexa responding “unable to play”. Using the NPR news briefing skill as an example, if you say “Alexa play NPR” (or “Alexa news” if you have the NPR skill set up that way), your Echo Alexa responds “unable to play NPR” instead of playing it as it has always done for years. If that is the issue you are having (whether with the NPR skill or any other skill) read on.

Here is the full, detailed list of all of the documents seized by the FBI from President Trump during their raid on Mar-a-Lago earlier this month. This list was just provided to the court and unsealed by the court yesterday. We are providing it both as a PDF and in plain text so that it can be searched. The Internet Patrol is not a political outlet, and we make this information available with no additional comment; we make it available because we have the resources and knowledge to do so, so that people who are searching for it can find it.

Late on Tuesday, August 31, 2022, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed its objections to Donald Trump’s Special Master request. The information in the document is the most damning yet, including an image of the pile of documents, accumulating on the floor as the FBI conducted their search, a document with the SECRET / SCI clearly visible. Below is that picture, and the full text of the filing as both a PDF and in plain text (we are in the process of adding the plain text, so refresh frequently until we are done). The Internet Patrol is not a political outlet, and we make this information available with no additional comment; we make it available because we have the resources and knowledge to do so, so that people who are searching for it can find it.

Here is the original PDF of the DOJ affidavit that was released today, August 26, 2022, and that was used to secure the search warrant that the FBI used to search Mar-a-Lago for documents and evidence in the investigation of Donald Trump. Among other things, the affidavit asserts that “As described above, evidence of the SUBJECT OFFENSES has been stored in multiple locations at the PREMISES.”

You may have recently received spam through an email service called EMLSend or GumbaMail being provisioned via acblnk.com, for example spam from ComplianceSR. And so now you are wondering who is behind the curtain. The answer is an ESP based in Spain called AcumbaMail. Despite being in the EU, where they are required to adhere to the requirements of GDPR, and to make sure that their email-sending clients also adhere to the requirements of GDPR, they very clearly are not doing this.

We’re imagining the evolution of the internet which will eventually be called the metaverse. What does metaverse entail? The metaverse concept is a tech-industry wide vision to create a tangible internet. Imagine a web of interconnected virtual spaces that will, in theory, operate much like spaces in the conventional world. In order to transform the internet as it is now into a more tangible space that we can interact with and experience in the same ways that we do real life. To create the metaverse, each of these interactive spaces need to be universally accessible.

If you’ve never found yourself hanging around the horned-rim glasses wearing literary fans or the all in black art crowd, you may not be familiar with the word “meta” and it’s many uses. Its origin story, like many others, takes place in ancient greek mythology. Meta was the first wife of the Athenian king, Aegeus. The word itself, Meta, is derived from μετά, meta, meaning “beyond” or “after”. Meta was the equivalent to the Latin “post-” or “ad-”. However, the contemporary version of Meta is not very old; meta appeared for the first time in 1988. Despite its age, Meta, has many definitions, all of which make it an uncanny name for the future of technology… or rather, of all things.
