  1. Not quite face eating yet, but trending that way:
  2. I'm sure this would never be used for anything nefarious.
  3. Whew. Glad they got another hardened criminal off the street.

  6. Ahem. For the more technically astute folks here, who may want every device in their house to automatically select an alternative location for certain websites, I suggest Control D. It's not a VPN, but managed DNS service for your home. Among the many features: https://controld.com/teleport It's not free ($40 a year) but it works really, really well. There's a lot of other advantages of using a managed DNS service as well. https://controld.com/

  12. Received this email from Social Security overnight. I'm almost afraid to look. I like how the word "statement" is repeatedly italicized, for some reason. Dear Francisco: Your Social Security Statement is streamlined and easier to read than ever before. That is because we have redesigned the Statement to provide you the most useful information up front and at a glance. We encourage you to check your Statement at least once a year to review: Your earnings record (to make sure it’s accurate and notify us if you see any errors); Your personalized monthly retirement benefit estimates (which now display how much you can expect to receive depending on when you decide to start your benefits between ages 62 and 70); Other useful information that will explain your benefits and help you prepare for your financial future; and New fact sheets that provide additional information based on your specific age group and earnings situation. You can access your new Statement by signing into your account at socialsecurity.gov/reviewyourstatement. Now that you can access your Statement instantly and anytime online, we will not automatically send one by mail. We hope you find your new Statement useful and informative.
