Internet and Web

Zack thinks that cable has gotten too expensive, especially since he only watches two news channels. He wants to cut the cord and go "over the top" to the internet. Leo says that with CNN, you have to buy a package that includes CNN. So that means you have to either do cable, or use something like YouTubeTV to get it. But that will give you everything you want. SlingTV is another option. ScooterX says if you go to go.cnn.com you can get CNN Go. But even if you could cut the cord, your internet prices will rise. So you're really not saving money doing that.

Jason would like to move his email away from GoDaddy, but he doesn't want to use Gmail. Any options? Leo says the nice thing about having your own domain, is that you can move it anywhere, and even to another registrar. You may need to jump through a few hoops, but it can be done. You can also go into the domain record and forward your email to another host. It's under the MX record. Leo recommends using a paid one, because it will not only give you support, but they won't close your account out of nowhere. Should he run his own server? Leo says no. Don't do that. Its too much work.

Sean's wife has MAC she recently upgraded to Mojave, and after updating to a "new flash player," she's now having problems. First her Safari browser has defaulted to the BING search engine. Leo says that BING isn't too bad, but it's clear her browser has been hijacked by a browser hijacker or "launch demon." And if her search engine has been changed, there's a good chance other things have happened as well. Check your browser extensions to see if there's anything nefarious there.

John recently discovered that he was being charged 2.1GB for Sunday, even though it was Saturday when he found out. What gives? Leo says it's likely based on UTC Universal Time Zone or Greenwich Mean Time. So that's why it's listed as tomorrow. But if you have had data used up when you're not using it, then someone may be "borrowing a cup of wifi" from you. You can also check your router's data logs. Call AT&T and tell them that you aren't using that much data.
