 don't valet park my car I did once I was probably 18 19 at the time and I was hired by some people to come and take photos at their which we call it a New Year's Eve party and I got there and they had a valet parker and the valet he would a valet parker I think there's called valets aren't they anyway the valet guy they had him because they were all parking on these people's lawns so they wanted the cars organized in a way they had a lot of people coming so I let that guy park my car but in general I don't let people drive my car it's you know it's not even about you know paying someone to park my car when I can myself which is a little silly but I don't understand why people let somebody especially somebody they don't know drive their car I don't I'm not comfortable with friends driving my car unless I have to let them you know why do I bring that up here because it's kind of the same thing with computers I have known people who have fallen victim to those scams where you get little pop-ups because you clicked on a link and it's like oh your computers infected by a virus and call this number and then they give those people remote access to their computers and it just blows my mind I would not let anybody I don't know it's like how can you trust somebody you don't know to access your computer I again when let most people I know sit down and use my computer without me looking over their shoulder because it's my computer let alone let somebody who's probably another country that I have no way of gaining access to them if they were to do something malicious and but people do this and I just don't get it but for me it's the same thing with the valet parking you're gonna let somebody one of the most expensive things I own my car you know next to my house it's the most expensive thing I own and I'm going to give it to to somebody I don't know to drive around have you never seen Ferris Bueller's Day off I and you know with my with my new car the key fob itself when I bought the car you only came with one key fob it's one of those keyless entries which is really a beautiful thing you know you think oh it's you know how hard is it to take your keys out you know and click a button to unlock it we don't even have to put our keys anymore now I don't even take my keys on my pocket to open the door or start the engine especially when you have kids it's really really nice kind of going off topic again but it's amazing how you see gets a simple little things like that but only came with one key fob so I had to get a second key fob and hire someone to program it the guy at dealership said don't have us do it it will cost you almost 300 bucks he told me go on Amazon find the right key make sure it's the right key order it and then find a locksmith who can program it and I did that and I want to say the key fob was maybe $75 and then I think it was another $75 or something like that the guy did come out to my house he cut the key for me which I didn't even wasn't even expecting so I have a second key because there is an emergency key it's a keyless car but it has an emergency key in case the battery is dead you can unlock that he cut that for me and programmed the key for me and I looked into that before I bought before I hired someone I'm like can I get software and somehow program this can I buy it I mean if it's gonna cost me 200 bucks to do this can I buy a piece of hardware and program it myself it turns out really can't at this time because it's so proprietary and even talking to the locksmith so he has this little computer device that he can program the keys with but he has to buy security certificates for each key he programs and I think he pays like I forget it was a it was about a year ago but also he pays like 10 or 20 bucks per security key security certificate and it took him two tries for some reason my key didn't program the first time he had to go through two of the certificates the little machine has a countdown and when he runs out he's got to order more and they load more certificates on there for him so even if you have the hardware to program your key you got to buy certificates for it which is ridiculous and of course it's one of those it's about security when it's really not about security because obviously I could put certificates on my key and have them be secure without having to buy certificates from somebody it's all about making that extra buck but going back to that it's like this this key fob plus programming it costs 200 bucks I don't feel comfortable just giving my key fob to somebody I don't know let alone the fact that my house keys on there I also have a little flash drive on there obviously I can take that off and just give him the key fob but it's a $200 key fob for my car and and I just don't feel comfortable letting someone try my car bring this up because I had to meet somebody at a restaurant today and the restaurant had Valley parking only Valley parking only I literally pull in their parking lot and there's three empty spots right next to me and I go can I just park right there no Valley parking only I'm like okay I'll go park somewhere else and I drove down the block where there's beach parking drove around there for five minutes until a spot opened up and paid for parking over there and then walk back because I'm just not letting someone else drive my car and again it's the same as my computer says that's the rule of thumb is if you don't know and trust somebody why would you let them use your computer you know why would you let them your computer carries all your information I mean most people have you know their passwords saved for their email so they don't have to type it in when they log in so and once you have access someone's email it's like that's that's how you reset accounts you have access to premiums all their other accounts if you have access to their computer I actually SSH into a server to check my email so someone did get my computer they would still need my passphrase for my security key to log into my SSH server to check my email but there's still I still you know I have a lot of my personal stuff on my computer so why would I give somebody I don't know access to that and they I mean even though they have that they could leave something on there a key log or something that remotely sends stuff back why would you let anybody you don't know access your computer why would you let anybody you don't know drive your car and it just blows my mind I just don't understand the thought process behind that people do it all the time where I live there's ballet parking everywhere you know like I said usually it's an option it's not a requirement and I just don't get it you know I guess it just makes you feel rich and fancy to be able to you know pay somebody to drive your car 10 feet and park it for you can't do it yourself even though you can but yeah computer security a lot of it is about trust and people hire people from geek squad or wherever you know that they don't know to work on their computers I don't see the trust there and I mean and you can you can search you know online find videos as the undercover people watching these tech guys who come to people's houses to work on their computers and the malicious stuff they do sometimes they install stuff they shouldn't and sometimes they just flat out lies so they can charge for other stuff and I even saying that the majority of computer repair people wherever you want to call them are like that but a good percentage of them are and you don't know if you don't know the person and really I actually do think that most of them are scam artists but because they're always trying to sell you software they're always trying to sell you some antivirus software if you watch my channel you know my views on antivirus software that's a complete scam it's just ridiculous a scam started by McAfee who's a nut job to make other people paranoid so they'd buy his software and 30 years later people are still doing it I mean not that he's involved with the McAfee software or people and I see I see YouTube channels talking about it like high five I mean they talk about installing antivirus it's like really you're gonna suggest that how about just securing your computer antivirus is for all I really don't I'm not gonna secure my computer so hopefully this thing will alert me if something happens anyway those are my random thoughts of the day on giving random people access to your valuable things such as your computers and cars it's kind of like another example of this you have a coupon on your phone and you show it to somebody you know like oh can I see your phone that happened to me once like back when smartphones first came out like 10 years ago you know I'm at a restaurant here here I got this coupon and the server went oh let me see and then they turn it went behind the register with my phone I'm like I wasn't expecting them to do that and now it's just like no you can't you can't hold my phone look just just write down the number from the from the coupon it's like no I'm not gonna hand you my phone it literally takes five seconds especially if my phone's unlocked for you to plug in something in the USB and now you own my phone people people if you don't personally know somebody don't trust them and if you do personally know them still don't trust them thanks for watching have a great day
