I use FIREFOX as primary.
granted Bing does come up sometimes, but I just negate it
Unless something has changed, Bing is just a search provider. All that's needed is to change the search provider of the browser to either Google or DuckDuckGo. I recommend DuckDuckGo as they don't track you. Also, Chrome isn't as secure as using Firefox or Brave. I use AdBlock Plus with Firefox to block ads and Brave has settings you can enable to block ads by default with their built in blocker. Blocking ads is essential if you care about security and not getting malicious software on your system. Ads are not secure and malicious actors hijack them for their own purposes all the time.
Anyway, tech tips for the day...
That's a good question. Not really? I mean, you can find independent IT guys who could do it that would probably know what to do. Vinny comes to mind. Otherwise you're stuck with the Nerd Herd types, like Geek Squad, who aren't worth considering IMO. On the other hand there are major Information Security consulting firms, but I'm not sure they do consumer level consulting. The best thing is to research it for yourself. How best to secure your home network and devices. Using WPA 2 on your wireless, making sure the router password is changed from default, disable sharing on your computers, keep the patches up to date and use a browser like Brave or Firefox, with an ad blocker enabled. Those are the basics. Plus don't do anything financial on your phone if you can help it.
Here is a pic showing the P07 and the Phantom SS guide rods. You can see the Phantom's protrudes out more. I think that I will probably shorten it.
Knowing how computer companies get paid will tell you why they do the things they do. I've come to the conclusion that software sales are probably not their primary source of income, otherwise they would be more user friendly.
Always follow the money
I forgot... Don't use your Admin account to be your standard use account. These days even on Win 10 the machine you first log in with and setup the account (on consumer machines not connected to a domain, etc) seems to get setup with Admin rights. You can setup another local Admin account and then set the rights down on your general use account, or just setup another account for general use. When Admin rights are needed thr machine will prompt you for them and you can use the other credential.
Definitely don't let everyone using the machine be an Admin.
And when the machine prompts tou to elevate rights or the user access control prompts you (even if you are already running with Admin rights)... Read it first. Don't just blindly click allow, etc. If you don't think you tool an action that should have prompted that (such as installing something or changing an OS setting), then definitely don't allow it.
Too many people let their spouse or kids run around as Admin and surf anything on a machine and wonder why their machine is jacked up.
OK you guys have given me a headache. I am going back to a modem and dial up.......
You still have a typewriter?I'm gonna skip it all and write you something nice on a typewriter
I remember running a BBS with a US Robotics 2400 baud modem. It was the bad boy of it's day.I'm so grateful that dial-up is gone.
Chyea. Right next to my abacus. Lol.You still have a typewriter?

The SS guide rod that seems too long is on my Phantom, which has been shot a lot. I would just be shortening some of what is protruding out of the front. The problem is that there is so little clearance when installing the guide rod that it is extremely difficult.
I need a phantom.
