Trash Bubbles
This week on Battle Born Tech. We go from hair on fire, past pants on fire all the way to human torch with a Linux’s CVE-2026-31431 or Copy Fail to its friends.
Nora only gets trash emails and we search in vain for the filter that is out of control. Between Thunderbird and webmail spam filters, you’ll be shocked when we get to the sort out the solution.
Robert takes us on a journey where the trash gets recycled, but not in a good way as scammers return for more scamming. In this cautionary tale, checking with his bank and a trips to his local computer tech keeps his computer trash free.
We are in the studio Saturdays 9 am to 11 am Pacific. Call direct to studio then or anytime at 775-241-3571 and set up a time to battle your tech!
“Update your servers.”
“Have you thought about getting better quality emails?”
“Everything is going to trash.”
“Where do I find all these things?”
“Why doesn’t everyone just the US Mail like God intended.”
“It’s stupid not you.”
“She stumped me.”
“Sorry you’re getting emails again.”
“Next time ask for Bubbles.”
“Scammers have good customer service at the beginning.”
“Makes a funny sound.”
“I got to figure out how to do that…that sounds awesome.”
“He had no reason to get on my computer.”
“These are scammers. I don’t know what dances they do.”

BATTLE PLANS
with help from Claude.ai
CVE
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures is a publicly maintained list that assigns standardized ID numbers to known cybersecurity vulnerabilities, making it easier for security teams to track and discuss specific flaws.
Inbox Zero
A productivity philosophy, popularized by Merlin Mann, where the goal is to keep your email inbox empty (or near-empty) by consistently processing, deleting, delegating, or archiving messages.
CRM
Customer Relationship Management is software that helps businesses track and manage their interactions with current and potential customers, centralizing contact info, sales activity, and communication history in one place.
McAfee
One of the oldest and most recognized antivirus and cybersecurity software companies it’s name is often used by scammers. Currently owned by foreign investment bankers, McAfee was founded in 1987 by John McAfee, who resigned from the company in 1994 and later became its most vocal critic, urging consumers to uninstall the software and calling it bloatware. However, its aggressive marketing tactics, excessive system resource consumption, intrusive renewal pop-ups, and notoriously difficult uninstallation process have earned it a reputation that, for many users, feels indistinguishable from actual malware.
