Esto es un extracto de la tertulia de AUTOFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero y se sube a este canal de podcast todos los lunes. La tecnología de LoJack para localización y recuperación de vehículos robados LoJack es un sistema de rastreo de vehículos que ayuda a los propietarios a recuperar sus coches en caso de robo. Esta tecnología opera mediante dispositivos ocultos de geolocalización, que permiten ubicar el vehículo en tiempo real, incluso si ha sido trasladado o escondido. A diferencia de otros sistemas de rastreo basados en GPS, LoJack utiliza una tecnología de radiofrecuencia que, en combinación con la colaboración de las fuerzas policiales, permite una localización precisa incluso en lugares donde la señal GPS puede perderse, como estacionamientos subterráneos o áreas rurales. ¿Cómo funciona LoJack? El sistema LoJack se instala de forma discreta en el vehículo y se activa automáticamente cuando el propietario reporta un robo. Las estaciones policiales y otros cuerpos de seguridad en colaboración con LoJack cuentan con receptores que pueden rastrear la señal de radiofrecuencia emitida por el dispositivo del coche robado. Una vez activado, el dispositivo envía señales intermitentes, facilitando a las autoridades localizarlo y recuperarlo. ¿Qué coches son más susceptibles al robo? La preferencia por ciertos modelos de vehículos varía según la región y el valor de mercado de las piezas de estos coches. En general, los coches más robados tienden a pertenecer a marcas populares y modelos comunes debido a la alta demanda de sus partes. Entre los más sustraídos suelen figurar: Coches utilitarios y SUV de marcas como Toyota, Honda, y Nissan, que son populares en el mercado de reventa de piezas. Vehículos de lujo como BMW y Mercedes-Benz, que son codiciados en redes de crimen organizado. Camionetas y vehículos comerciales, debido a su versatilidad y valor en el mercado de segunda mano. ¿Dónde y cómo ocurren los robos? La mayoría de los robos de coches suceden en áreas urbanas y de alta densidad poblacional, donde los vehículos suelen estar estacionados en la vía pública o en aparcamientos sin vigilancia. Los métodos de robo pueden variar, siendo los más comunes: Intrusión electrónica, mediante dispositivos que capturan la señal de la llave para desbloquear el vehículo. Desbloqueo forzado, que implica forzar cerraduras o ventanas. Remolque, utilizado en zonas concurridas para evitar levantar sospechas. Contar con un sistema como LoJack no solo incrementa la probabilidad de recuperar el vehículo sino también actúa como disuasión para los delincuentes, ya que aumenta significativamente las posibilidades de rastreo y recuperación.

We're Baaack! So There I Was—the podcast where the stories are real, and sometimes, the lessons come from unlikely sources. Like this week's gem: ever been told that even a monkey could do your job? Our guest, LoJack, sure has. When he was scrambling to get his private pilot's license in just two months, his flight instructor looked him dead in the eye and said, “I could teach a monkey to fly in two months!” And that's where it all began. From humble (and hilarious) beginnings to near-World War III incidents, LoJack's journey is packed with the kind of stories you can't make up. So, grab a seat and buckle up—this one's going airborne!

Some reviews of the Mort Downey show. --- "This was so much fun! I did leave the station later that year to go sailing, but Neil shouldn't have worried about me stealing his car for real...you can't take a car with you on a sailboat! ;p My live bit comes on at 23:20 and the second one is at 47:00 when they arrest me and put me in handcuffs."

In this conversation, we chat with Kurtis Lin, the co-founder & CEO of Pinwheel, a leading payroll connectivity API. The son of two immigrant parents, Kurt saw how the lack of credit history created a greater struggle for them to access and secure financial products. This experience became a driving force for him and his co-founders to create Pinwheel. Kurt has been involved in multiple startup acquisitions, first Idean and later with Luxe. Following Luxe's acquisition by Volvo, he received an HSA and experienced similar challenges to those of his parents. He realized if you didn't have money to pre-fund an account - which most Americans don't - opening an HSA was basically impossible. Kurt and his co-founders set out to create a more automated HSA process and soon realized the key problem was actually inaccessibility to the data and controls in payroll systems. Thus Pinwheel was born with the mission to build a fairer financial system. More specifically, we touch on the journey to building a fintech API infrastructure play, integrating inset payroll systems via APIs, the demise of payday lenders, and so so much more!

Not all car insurance is the same — car insurance quotes will vary by company, driver, car, and city. You need to research your situation to make sure you have the right coverage for yourself. We put together a list of how to get cheap car insurance now and in the future, whether you're mid-policy or shopping around for new quotes this year. What is the average price of car insurance in Canada? BC - $1,832 Ontario - $1,528 Alberta - $1,316 Saskatchewan - $1,235 Newfoundland - $1,168 Manitoba - $1,140 Nova Scotia - $$891 New Brunswick - $867 Prince Edward Island - $816 Quebec - $717 *Source: Insurance Bureau of Canada Why do we care about the average? Public car insurance, where the government provides insurance, is in BC, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Note these provinces sit among the most expensive in the country. On the other hand, auto insurance in Quebec is the cheapest because it's a hybrid model – you buy your accident benefits (the health insurance portion, and most expensive part, of any car insurance policy) from the government. But you buy everything else from private insurers. For the rest of the provinces, you buy your car insurance privately from whoever will give you really cheap car insurance. So, if you're asking where to get cheap car insurance, move to Quebec or Atlantic Canada. Still, even a postal code change within your city can reflect price changes due to many factors beyond your control, like theft, density, and proximity to the nearest collision-riddled intersection. Also, we just want to show you the average, so you know whether you're getting cheap insurance or paying too much. With that, on to how to find cheap car insurance. 1. Choose the right car to keep your insurance costs down If you want cheap car insurance, you should keep insurance costs in mind when you're thinking about buying a car and even do some insurance price research before driving that car off the lot. Insurers consider a range of statistics when assessing how much to charge for coverage for any driver and car combination. For instance, car models frequently targeted by thieves may cost you extra to insure, as will rarer cars and fancy sports cars. However, a minivan is often one way to get super cheap insurance because of its association with families carrying precious cargo. You can use the Insurance Bureau of Canada's CLEAR table to discover which vehicles have low claims against them, translating to lower auto insurance rates. However, if you're not an Excel wizard, you can just compare car insurance prices by entering your postal code above. 2. Adjust your policy to reflect your needs Different drivers have different insurance needs, so find an insurance plan that caters specifically to you. There are four mandatory coverages, pretty well across Canada: Third-party liability - if you damage someone else's property or injure them accident benefits - if you're hurt following an accident uninsured auto - if an uninsured motorist hits you Direct compensation property damage (in most provinces) - so you only ever deal with your insurer regardless of fault. Your insurance company receives compensation from the other insurer. The minimum third-party liability (TPL) is $200,000 but is generally set at a default of $1 million. If you want really cheap car insurance, get the minimum. However, we do not recommend it. Many TPL claims go easily over $1 million, and you'll be paying that difference out of pocket. Accident benefits pays for your recovery after an accident for physiotherapy and medical expenses. It also pays for loss of income and funeral expenses. You can upgrade this portion to receive more income replacement (it's not much, depending on the province). Still, suppose you have quality health benefits at work (including long-term and short-term disability) and life insurance. In that case, you can reduce this to the minimum coverage. 3. Drop the optional coverages if you no longer need them If you have an old car, consider forgoing collision coverage. Many drivers skip collision coverage if their old car is not worth repairing because it doesn't hold much value. Think of it this way, if you have to pay a $1,000 deductible to repair a car, that's only worth $500, you can drop collision. Put the savings into a new car fund. You can also forgo comprehensive coverage to get cheap car insurance. Comprehensive protects your car when it's not driving – bad weather floods your vehicle, or a tree falls on top of it, for instance. 4. Track your driving Consider usage-based insurance (UBI), especially if you're a student or a young driver. Young males typically pay much more than the average for car insurance due to stereotyping from insurance companies. UBI itracks kilometres driven and other stats like how aggressively you brake and accelerate, speeding, and how you handle turns. With this system — which you can monitor yourself on your phone — you can earn discounts for driving well. Many auto insurance companies like Intact, CAA, or Onlia offer UBI, either in-app form or a device installed in your engine, to monitor your performance outside generic statistics. 5. Shop around and get quotes When shopping for car insurance, do not take anyone's word that they're the best deal for you — you need to find that out for yourself. Do your research. Don't assume the most prominent company is the best, just because they spend the most money on advertising to tell you they're the best. You may not have heard of some great insurance companies. You can use our car insurance quoter to analyze what different insurers will charge you. Or consider also doing it the old-fashioned way and visit an insurance broker to help you find the best fit for you. Make it an annual tradition because companies change pricing all the time. 6. Keep a good driving record Collisions (that are your fault) and driving convictions make your insurance rates go way up – and they stay on your insurance record for years. Drive safely, drive sensibly, and obey the road rules (don't speed, don't text and drive, don't drink and drive, etc.). Drivers with the best records over long periods pay the lowest rates. 7. Ask about ways to get discounts on car insurance If you're still wondering how to save money on car insurance, call your insurance provider or broker. Many insurers may be able to offer discounts. Are you a member of any professional organizations or affiliation groups (e.g. union or alumni), ask if they have discount relationships with any insurers. 8. The bundling effect on your policies You may get discounts if you bundle insurance plans together, for example, by having your auto and home insurance with the same carrier. If you drive multiple cars, you can get a multi-line discount by insuring them all with the same company. 9. Make your payments on time, all the time Don't miss a payment. For one, it can lead to NSF fees and overdraft charges. Your insurer now has to chase you down for payment, which can increase your rates in the future. A missed payment can hurt your credit score, too. 10. Install winter tires Quebec requires winter tires or face penalties and fines. For the rest of car insurance in Canada, you can get a 3-5% discount by installing winter tires. That level of discount won't pay off your winter tires, but at least you'll stop in time in the snow and avoid the skiing down the road helping to avoid expensive claims, thus saving you money. 11. Pay premiums annually, not monthly If you pay your premiums up front for the year or half-year, you may get a small cut of the savings from administrative fees. 12. Consider increasing your deductible The deductible is the initial amount you pay on any claim before the insurance company will jump in and pay the rest. Increasing your deductibles can be a way to lower your premiums. But that also means you're paying more cash as a deductible payment if or when you crash your car. 13. Take an accredited driving course Especially useful for new drivers, an accredited driving course will make you a better and safer driver while also resulting in a discount from many insurance companies. 14. Install anti-theft devices Many new cars have immobilizers installed already. But any anti-theft device for a car, from steering wheel locking devices to GPS tracking devices (e.g. Lojack), may earn you a car insurance discount. If not, it prevents a comprehensive car insurance claim for theft which could raise your rates. 15. Don't use your car I know, it sounds ridiculous. But, know this, in COVID, when everyone was working from home, many Canadians called their insurance company to say, “Hey, I'm driving less,” and as a result, saw a discount. The less you're on the road – walking, cycling, or taking transit to work – the more money in your pocket. The Bottom Line If you want cheap car insurance, follow the steps above. They are easy to do and may result in immediate savings. You can also move since location is a factor – Brampton car insurance costs more than car insurance in Toronto – but that's harder to achieve. If you're 25 & under, you'll pay more, but that's hard to change. Finally, you can swap your car out for one that's cheaper on car insurance, but that may be cost-prohibitive.
Ep. 22 Today's episode is with Katie Nelson, Public Information Officer (PIO) for the Mountain View Police Department. We talk about how police agencies are connecting with community at the local and national level. Katie has a prominent role as the Chair of the PIO Section for the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) – the world's largest and most influential professional association for police leaders with more than 31,000 members in more than 165 countries. I tap her insight into what's going on around the country in terms of new legislation in certain states, the elimination of qualified immunity for some, and new laws that are affecting not only law enforcement, but also community members and victims who have not necessarily been fully updated on how these new laws affect them. We also discuss #PathForward, the IACP's digital initiative to help enhance law enforcement's efforts to better tell the story of all that policing is and the good work officers do every day. I highly recommend checking out the posts on Twitter. If you are in law enforcement, use the hashtag to highlight the stories in your own community, the stories that don't make the news. I also want to provide the press release issued by Auburn WA Police Department about a recent incident and a link to their Facebook post that explains why officers were unable to take action. I reference this in the episode. You can always reach me at Abby@Ellsworthproductions.com https://www.facebook.com/AuburnWAPolice/videos/377749317316960 *****Press Release/Stolen Vehicle***** 08-31 Around 2:30pm Officers with Auburn PD were dispatched to a stolen vehicle report near the Auburn Police Substation on Lea Hill. The victim at the scene told the officers she had been robbed at gunpoint and her vehicle, a white 2016 Lexus RX, had been stolen. Using a photographic montage, the victim was able to identify the suspect. Officers learned, the vehicle was equipped with Lojack and it had been activated. Just after 3pm, while searching for a suspect on an unrelated call, King County Guardian One reported that they had been receiving pings from the stolen Lexus. Guardian One followed the Lojack signal and at about 3:15pm located the vehicle backing into an apartment complex in the 900 Block of 12 ST SE. Not long after, Guardian One saw a male had left from the backseat and another male had left from the front passenger seat. Neither of these males were able to be identified. The male from the back seat walked across the parking lot, while the male from the front passenger seat got into another vehicle. As patrol units began to converge on the area, Guardian One said a patrol unit had just driven by the Lexus as it pulled out of the apartment complex parking lot. The Lexus had come close to one of our patrol vehicles and drove around our officers. Officers and Guardian One continued to try and track the stolen vehicle, but they eventually fell too far behind and could not keep up. Without anyone observing the driver, identifying the driver or any other possible occupants in the vehicle, there was no probable cause for anyone in the vehicle regarding this robbery case. Due to the recent legislative changes regarding vehicle pursuits and use of force in Washington State, we were not legally allowed to pursue the vehicle.

Show Notes Episode 277: The Stranger Danger Is Dangerously Strange This week Host Dave Bledsoe is offered free whiskey and foolishly climbs into a white panel van. (They soon kicked him out when he became drunk and abusive.) On the show this week we Save the Children from all the people who want to save the children. Along the way we talk about Stranger Danger in the 80's, including what happened to the milk carton kids. (Not the kids themselves, but why they aren't on milk cartons anymore.) We visit Dave during his good years, helping the good people of the time keep track of their kids. (Don't worry, he was supervised) and then we shamelessly begged for a plug from our sister shows on the network by gratuitously name dropping them for no reason whatsoever. (Call us Danny and Mike!) Finally we get down to the meat of the show namely what the hell is up with all these people protesting about child trafficking and why they should honestly be protesting something else entirely. (Don't worry, they are white liberals, they soon will be!) Finally we explain why Noah and Madison are NOT gonna be snatched off the street by sex traffickers. (Little white kids are SO 1992!) Our Sponsor this week is Lojack for Kids, keeping kids from being kidnapped through technology for 20 years! We open the show with George Carlin who has some bad news about the kids and close with James Marcal who would like you to leave them kids alone.

Jeff Gardner joined me on the Accelerate Show to discuss what he's been doing as the new President and CEO of CalAmp, a local company that has always been a pioneer in IoT and connecting the mobile economy. He’s been on their Board for over 5 years, so he knows the company well and has a strong vision for its future. Through their hardware and software they have enabled others to track, trace and manage their assets more effectively, such as vehicles in a fleet. One of the brands that you may recognize that they own is LoJack, which has helped many people recover stolen cars over the years. They have over a million customers and track over 20 million products where they are installed. We talked about their roots, innovation and solutions today and into the future. Prior to CalAmp, Jeff was the President and CEO of Brinks Home Security, a well-known national company home security solutions. He was also President and CEO at Windstream for 10 years, a multi-billion dollar telecommunications company, which had been a part of Alltel, where he was the CFO. He’s also been heavily involved in M&A and technology throughout his career. I did my best not to hold it against him as Jeff graduated from my college rival, Purdue. It's great to now have him in the area, accelerating a leading technology company!
Neil and Glen are still dealing with the problems with Hallandale and Jack. Neil's car is "stolen" by Sharon Mahony to demonstrate how well the LoJack system works, it better work because she is packed to go far far away. Neil receives a letter listing the accusations against him and WIOD that was sent to the Hallandale City Commission. Some reviews of the Mort Downey show. *Audio Repaired* read Sharon's comments ------>
Tips to protect your car from being stolen:Keep custody of your keys: don't leave them in a running car, don't leave them in a sitting car, don't hide a key on the car, don't give a key to someone who doesn't need itSecure your vehicle: lock your car, close your windows all the wayChoose the best parking place: park inside your garage or carport, park near a building entrance, park in a well lit area, park near an attendantDon't leave valuables in the carAnti-theft devices: alarms, steering wheel immobilizers, kill switch, live video feedGPS recovery: On Star, LoJack, or a trackermaybe a manual transmission car (kidding, not kidding)Don't let a stranger follow your car to your destination. Make the block if you think someone is tailing you (this happened to a neighbor)Recalls for the week: 2019 Toyota RAV4, RAV4 Hybrid: damaged connector in the audio display unit may cause the backup camera; 2020 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator: manual park release cover may be missing and instrument cluster may be in factory mode, which disables warning alerts and chimes, and does not display the PRNDL gear positions and which gear is selected; 2018-2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio: instrument panel may indicate a fuel level that’s higher than the actual levelYou can find out if your car has a past recall by going to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration’s website: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and inputting your VIN number.Consumer Reports has a list of vehicle models that have a record of much-worse-than-average overall reliability based on subscriber responses to their Annual Auto Survey. Today, we’re going to caution you about: 2011 Chevrolet Cruze The most-reported problem is anti freeze smell in the car. Please consider reading up on the reliability of this car before purchasing it as a used car, suggests Consumer Reports. https://www.consumerreports.org/used-cars/used-cars-to-avoid-buying/ https://www.carcomplaints.com/ is another resource for unreliable car lists.

In this week’s episode Shadow Talk, it’s a vulnerability extravaganza. We cover malicious use of legitimate software, as APT28 attributed to hijacking LoJack and Blackrouter delivered via AnyDesk software. Vulnerabilities found (and exploited) in GPON home routers, and Loki Bot exploits two remote code execution vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office (CVE-2017-8570 and CVE-2018-0802).
In today's podcast we look at some indications that LoJack for Laptops might have been compromised to report back to Moscow. World Cup cybersecurity. Schneider Electric patches developer's tools. Travel and hospitality rewards points are the menhaden of the black market. Medical device vulnerabilities. Taking the gloves off Cyber Command. It's National Password Day, and Microsoft (along with many others) would like to move beyond the password. And a requiem on Press Freedom Day for working journalists murdered by the Taliban. Ben Yelin from UMD CHHS discussing who’s responsible when an AI kills someone. Guest is Edna Conway from Cisco on pervasive security architecture and third party risk.

July is “National Vehicle Theft Protection Month” and has one of the highest vehicle theft rates of the year. In this informative podcast, vehicle theft protection experts Frank Scafidi of NICB and D.J. Thompson of LoJack reveal the most common mistakes people make that leave their vehicles vulnerable to theft and provide tips to ensure theft protection.
Ian Ayres of Yale University Law School talks about the ideas in his new book, Super Crunchers: Why Thinking-by-Numbers Is the New Way to Be Smart. Ayres argues for the power of data and analysis over more traditional decision-making methods using judgment and intuition. He talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about predicting the quality of wine based on climate and rainfall, the increasing use of randomized data in the world of business, the use of evidence and information in medicine rather than the judgment of your doctor, and whether concealed handguns or car protection devices such as LoJack reduce the crime rate. The podcast closes with a postscript by Roberts challenging the use of sophisticated statistical techniques to analyze complex systems.
