Verizon FIOS Voice Mail Trick -
to stop blank messages from robo callers.
FIOS voice mail allows multiple mail boxes.
(family members etc. - 5 total mail boxes)
So,
Create a new mail box.
Change your base level greeting to include
"you must press one to leave a message"
A robo call won't hear you say:
"you must press one to leave a message"
and also won't be able to respond properly to leave a message.
Also, you can create up to 5 mail boxes.

Hi there,
Just a thought and an offer ...
If you’re using an external drive to backup your pictures and files then there’s a way to make it easy.
I can write a simple old school DOS file to back up everything you have with one click. The real perk of this method is that it only copies new or changed files so there’s no wondering what to back up. It all gets done.
What you end up with is a clean duplicate of all of your files on your external drive.
If you’re interested give me a ring.

Make your important passwords cryptic.
Never use actual english words, pet names, street names etc.
Use your keyboard and create random nonsense like:
w87^Bd_(&,,.fT!%
into a .txt file and save it.
Copy/paste from the .txt file if you can't yet remember the new password.
Never allow your online banking site or browser to save/remember important passwords.
Get your ports probed to discover your internet vulnerability.
