What should travelers expect at TSA during peak times?
If you're heading to the airport, brace yourself. Spring break crowds plus a partial government shutdown means security lines are hitting three hours in massive hubs like Houston, Atlanta, and New Orleans. Your phone is your best friend in this mess. First, download the MyTSA app. Real wait times right on your screen. See the chaos before you walk into it. Next, check if your airport offers security reservations. Orlando, JFK, and Seattle all do. Book a free time slot online and skip the line entirely. Think Disneyland Fast Pass, but for adults with actual places to be.

How can tracking devices improve your travel experience?
Welcome. We're going to start with you. What's going on?
Well, hi, Kim. Lots of stuff that's not good is going on. I am a QuickBooks pro-advisor, and they publish a site for me where people can find a pro-advisor and make contact to discuss doing books. Well, I've received several calls on that, and everything's gone fine. And about a month ago, I received a call or a message. Actually, it was an email. for someone who wanted me to take a look at doing his books. And that's normal. So I said, sure, I'll be glad to talk with you. And he said, I would like to do it with a Zoom link. Well, I view Zoom, so I said, not a problem. And time came for him to send me the link, and I hadn't received it. So I emailed him and said, you know, where's the link? I'm ready to talk with you.
And he came back and said he'd been busy, and he'd send it to me right now. So I get the link and it's a normal Zoom link.
What is World Backup Day and why is it important?
So I click on it and it went to a site or went to a page that said, you need to upgrade your Zoom.
Which happens. Well, it does happen.
Well, yeah. Yeah, that happens. And so I was not suspicious at that point. So I clicked on the link and it went to a really strange page. that I had never seen before and suspected it was not legitimate. So I got out of it. And I think it was too late because I believe he got into my computer.
How does Carbonite ensure data protection for users?
Now, nothing was going on. I got out of it and just deleted his email message and never figured I'd never contact him again. And so I was working on my computer. It's a laptop, actually. And I was working on my laptop doing some accounting. And I took a break to get something to eat and drink. And I'm sitting in front of my computer doing that. And all of a sudden, this screen pops up that says Microsoft is updating your system. Well, I've seen that before, so I didn't suspect anything. But it started at 10%. And for the 5, 10 minutes I was sitting there, it never changed from 5%. 10% of speed. Then all of a sudden, my mouse starts moving on the screen. And I'm not touching my mouse. Okay. So I realize somebody's in there besides me.
So I hit the power button and shut down the computer and waited 10, 15 minutes or so.
