Maybe it’s time to cancel HBO Max Subscription

HBO Max has been “cracking down” on account sharing for quite sometimes now. I first got the message some months ago, even though I technically did not share my account. I do however watch HBO Max at the office, where I have an Apple TV.

I also occasionally watch HBO Max at a home office at my friend’s house which we often do work on.

In addition to that I also use my iPad and iPhone to watch some HBO Max.

Apparently HBO Max system is flagging my account as being shared.

HBO Max, warning to subscribe to keep watching.
Verify Your HBO Max Household

The worst part is now I kept getting this message whenever I’m launching HBO Max app at home.

Maybe it’s time to cancel the subscription.

Malware, Malware and more Malware.

For the past week I have been removing a lot of Malware from a lot of computers running Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Some are harder to remove than the others. In general I’d like to avoid the Scorched-Earth scenario whenever possible, as it is the last resort.

Malware Script

There are a lot of ways to remove Malware, there is not a single solution.

Whenever removing Malware from Windows computers I tend to boot to Safe mode with a Command prompt and remove any Malware reference from “Run” key in the registry and Start from Programs Menu.

Some tools/programs that I use:

I then use Microsoft’s Malicious Software Removal Tool and Safety Scanner to for the second run of Malware removal.

There are a lot of other tools/programs that I use to remove the Malware whenever necessary.

So you want to install iOS 7 beta on your iPhone.

So you want to install iOS 7 beta on your iPhone. Here are some advise I can give you:

  • Are you an Apple Developer?
    Just because you paid the $99 Apple Developer fee, does not make you an Apple Developer.
    If the answer is “no” then do not install iOS 7 beta on your iPhone.
  • Please do not go to any sites who would give you access to iOS 7 beta by giving them your UDID and some money.
  • Do you have an iPhone (or iPod touch) that you can sacrifice?
    If you do, then go ahead. If you don’t, then proceed with extreme caution.
  • Read the release notes and instructions.
  • Do not post the “iOS 7 beta is so buggy” message on the Apple Developer Forums.
  • Do not post the “Will Apple ever fix this bug?” message on Apple Developer Forums.
    <sarc>Apple will never fix those bugs!</sarc>
  • Be aware that you might not be able to downgrade to iOS 6.
