I don’t want some guy in Russia controlling my thermostat, LOL. Especially now that the “global warming” has blown away and it’s 10 below.

Imagine having your refrigerator tell you that you’re overdrawn at the bank?

Well when your phone falls out of shallow ladies jeans front pockets into the toilet when you turn around to flush it, you are more or less forced into the new phones. Then you get addicted to the new features of music, and photos of your grands, great grands and often the only place you get the photos is from FB posts.

...ways to avoid your appliances getting cease-and-dissist email from your ISP. Setting a password on the ISP router/modem, disabling ISP email and blocking the routers port 25 are a few simple ways.Could you explain disabling ISP email and blocking the router's port 25, for us dummies? (including mac dummies, if possible.)

No problem.
The ISP email is a feature of your provider. You can go to their website, login to your ISP account and disable the email feature -if possible. The best option is to configure your premise modem/router to avoid getting hacked.
Login to your ISP modem via the web interface to it:
Bring up a blank http:// webpage. The ISP router/modems usually have a default address (from within the LAN) of 192.168.1.1. Enter that to bring up the modem’s logon page. If you haven’t changed the logon it will be the default something like Admin/Password123. If you’re unsure google it via the name of your ISP. Once you get into the router the firewall feature will have ports and/or protocols. Disable/block port 25 or the SMTP protocol if you do not directly access an email server. Web mail will be unaffected by this.
Most of all set a password on your modem/router other than the default. That’ll stop the hack mentioned in this article.
