<title>Your Camera Is Watching. The Question Is Who Else Is.</title>

<description>So Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped. She had a security camera but did not pay the subscription service to store the video. Nine days later, Google was somehow able to recover video from their server that the camera had taken—even though she never paid for storage. Let that sink in. If you have a secur...</description>

<title>RSS Feeds, Album Art, and Why I Built a Real Podcast</title>

<guid>https://gruver.tech/blog/blog.php?entry=11.md</guid>
<description>Let me tell you about traditional podcasts and how I made mine—because what we call &quot;podcasts&quot; today barely resembles what they actually started as. Back in the day, Apple was looking for content for their new devices called iPods. Someone figured out how to take a directory of audio files from a ...</description>

<description>![XRP Price Chart](https://gruver.tech/images/xrp.png) XRP is more than just a cryptocurrency. It&#039;s a story about what happens when regular people organize and fight back against regulatory overreach. And it&#039;s one of the few digital assets that actually solves real problems. XRP was created by Rippl...</description>

<title>The Same Towers, Half the Price</title>

<guid>https://gruver.tech/blog/blog.php?entry=9.md</guid>
<description>Want to save money on your phone bill? Good. Let me explain how wireless carriers actually work so you can stop paying twice as much for the same service. There are three companies that own cell towers in America: Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&amp;T. Everyone else rents space on those towers and sells it ch...</description>

<title>The Laptop That Changed a Life</title>

<guid>https://gruver.tech/blog/blog.php?entry=8.md</guid>
<description>A man in Maine is serving a long prison sentence for a drug crime. He has been locked up for many years. When he first arrived, he felt like his life was already over. He did not see a way forward. Everything around him felt slow, hopeless, and empty. That changed when he learned about a new pilot p...</description>

<title>The Computer&#039;s Still Blind</title>

<guid>https://gruver.tech/blog/blog.php?entry=7.md</guid>
<description>People are scared of artificial intelligence right now — and I get it. The headlines make it sound like machines are about to wake up and take over the world, but that&#039;s not what&#039;s happening. What&#039;s really going on isn&#039;t all that mysterious. It&#039;s not magic. It&#039;s math — a super-powered version of...</description>

<title>The Planet Doesn&#039;t Need Saving — It Needs Time</title>
<link>https://gruver.tech/blog/blog.php?entry=6.md</link>
<guid>https://gruver.tech/blog/blog.php?entry=6.md</guid>
<description>When I was a kid, I used to play a computer game called *Sim Earth*. You could pump carbon dioxide into the air, move oceans around, or crank up the oxygen until everything caught fire. Drop it too low and the planet froze. It made you feel like a god with a reset button. Real Earth doesn&#039;t come wit...</description>

<title>More Common Than Gold, Just Harder to Admit</title>
<link>https://gruver.tech/blog/blog.php?entry=5.md</link>
<guid>https://gruver.tech/blog/blog.php?entry=5.md</guid>
<description>So-called &quot;rare earth&quot; minerals aren&#039;t rare at all. In fact, aside from plutonium, most of the 17 rare-earth elements are more abundant in Earth&#039;s crust than gold. The catch is this: they&#039;re spread out everywhere, but you rarely find them in high enough concentration to mine profitably. What that me...</description>

<title>Smiling High on the Market: How I Make a Dollar Multiply</title>
<link>https://gruver.tech/blog/blog.php?entry=4.md</link>
<guid>https://gruver.tech/blog/blog.php?entry=4.md</guid>
<description>I started investing in the stock market about two weeks before President Trump declared Liberation Day and the first round of tariffs were announced. The market dropped about 20% over the following two or three weeks, and I lost around $20–$30 immediately. I started with roughly $50 and kept going...</description>

<description>The magic of chat-based artificial intelligence is that you can just ask for stuff in normal human language, and in general, it can figure out what you&#039;re talking about and respond in a way that at least points you in the right direction. With additional context, it can largely solve problems. It&#039;s ...</description>

<title>One-Bar Town, Two iPhones</title>
<link>https://gruver.tech/blog/blog.php?entry=2.md</link>
<guid>https://gruver.tech/blog/blog.php?entry=2.md</guid>
<description>I keep things simple when it comes to hardware — practical, affordable, and efficient. Right now, I use two iPhones in rotation: both iPhone 12 minis, one with 64 GB of storage and the other with 128 GB. The 128 GB isn&#039;t any faster — it just has more room and gives me another computer to work wi...</description>

<title>AI Is My Guy Dog</title>

<guid>https://gruver.tech/blog/blog.php?entry=1.md</guid>
<description>Let me explain a little bit about artificial intelligence — also known as machine learning. This technology has actually been around since before the 1980s. The earliest seeds of it came from Asia, where engineers were trying to figure out how to type their language efficiently using a QWERTY keyb...</description>
