Our Things to ponder segment

It seems as though Better Help is more in trouble than we thought. Besides the potential breaches, we spotted a video that talks about all kinds of stuff. Its 16 minutes, but I feel that this is of value. This is the link to the Youtube Video that we linked to from our blog post. If you want to see it, you may. This came from the mastodon account, Today I learned. Also read: Better help shares data to facebook as this is mentioned in the video.

Our complete moron of the podcast

This has to be the moron of the podcast. While you can carry around cards like drivers licenses digitlly, this guy who is named in the article did not. He also either stopped after starting a chase, or the owner was able through the app to stop the truck. Besides theft, the suspect has no license at all. Nice going! Tesla’s Cybertruck thief chase cut short by Delaware police is the article. Have fun with a fine, and other penalties that are coming with no drivers license.
