Quick tip of the dayBefore the world of unlimited data, we jumped at the opportunity to tap into free Wi-Fi to avoid overage charges. Now, most of us have unlimited plans, but our phones still search for an open Wi-Fi connection to save data when possible. The problem is weak Wi-Fi slows you down and puts you at risk if you’re connecting to an unsecured or untrustworthy network. Instead of going through menus, ask Siri or Google Assistant to do it for you. A simple “Hey Siri, turn off my Wi-Fi” will do the trick. Speaking of Siri, tap or click for some of my favorite uses. |

AND FINALLY ...Let’s jump back into the 1950s for a story all about burgers. 🍔 (Well, mostly — it’s also about copyright and how one couple kicked back at a fast food chain.) Over 70 years ago, a young couple opened a small restaurant in the town of Mattoon, Illinois. They called it Burger King, filed for a state trademark and got to work flipping patties. Of course, they had no relation to the world-famous Burger King brand. But they were so protective of their restaurant that they kicked back at the big brand. 👑 When the chain started expanding into Illinois, the couple took it to court … and they won! To this day, the Burger King chain can’t operate within 20 miles of Mattoon. There’s only one Burger King in town — and it’s family-owned! |
