iPhone 14 Pro Max Video Zoom
Demonstrating the Zoom capabilities of the new iPhone
While I was at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, I decided to demonstrate the iPhone 14 Pro Max's zoom capabilities.
From my section in the stands, I recorded some of the pregame activities across the field. The video was recorded in 4k.
In addition, you will also be able to hear how well the iPhone 14 Pro Max handles stadium sound.

When telephone bots go wrong
Why Not Ask the Bot a Question?
I get a lot of automated phone calls. I enjoy these calls since they are fun to trick.
In this video, I am going to show you what happens if you have a telephone bot that fails! Note: As long as you don't ask any questions, the bots work fine.
Asking for my Age
Why do they want to my age?
I keep getting calls asking my age. I decided to change it up a bit on a couple of calls I got this week.
Mondays are the days when I receive the most scam calls.
When will these people stop calling me?
Manager Letter Video
Something to think about on Labor Day
I created this video based on the "Letter to my Manager" that was going around a few years ago. There are a few good points in this video about what employees want from their job - besides good pay.
Apple Support Call
Calling a Fake Support Number
Apple Support is one of the most reliable support services available. However, there are some scammers who are pretending to be from Apple Support. They create fake websites and try to scam people by asking for their personal information or money.
If you ever receive a call, email, or message from someone claiming to be from Apple Support and asking for your personal information, do not provide it. Instead, go directly to the official Apple website or contact Apple Support yourself to verify the legitimacy of the communication.
Apple takes security very seriously and will never ask for your personal information in order to provide support. If you think you may have been scammed by a fake website, report it immediately to apple@apple.com
Apple Call
A fake Apple site caught my attention, so I decided to give them a call.
This is how the conversation went :
He ends the call by saying, "Lovely Lisa." I have no idea what that means.
PermalinkFinancial Enhancement Services
It's a student loan scam, don't fall for it
Last week I got a call from Financial Enhancement Services. They called about my student loans.
Which is great because I don't have any student loans. Yet somehow I made a request for a student loan.
Here's how that call went:
CVS Back Pain Scam
Do not fall for these scams.
There's a new phone scam making the rounds, and this one is targeting people with back pain. A caller will pretend they are from CVS and that there is a new medicine that medicare is going to pay for.
It's all a scam. CVS is never going to call you on behalf of Medicare.
Listen in to the CVS scam call that I got last week:
Breast Cancer Relief Committee Pac
Automation Call Gone Wrong
There is a Political nonprofit that has been calling people asking them to contribute to their organization. According to a opensecrets.org report, this is a scam as most of the money raised doesn't go to help any Breast Cance Relief. The calls are misleading and very deceptive.
Listen to this call in action...
