I have first hand info from Avast - Norton merger and turning into corporation which doesn't value good RE talents was ridiculous and I've worked in corporate before, but this was just another level.

Middle management and up, their technical knowledge ended at turning PC on, hehe.

Btw they forced everybody even devs/RE guys into switching from Slack to Teams.

But still I have respect for original owners who build this AV company from 0. Too bad over the years it turned into this BS, where gathering and selling people's data is a normal thing for them.

At least there are guys from ESET, which is where people really care about fighting malware.

Guys sometimes you overthink stuff.

I saw companies got scammed, because they used default settings in Exchange Online.

And attacker just made the DNS "unavailable" for brief moment and all phishing emails passed. Because MS server responded with DNS "temp error" and pass all emails as not a spam. (detailed: received-spf: TempError (protection.outlook.com: error in processing during lookup of : DNS Timeout) and DKIM is checked on domain of sender's SMTP server, in this case attacker's server used for phishing )

Then I had the great experience with MS IT/security support, people there can't even understand how emails works, very funny and sad experience. I hope outsourcing works for them.

I'm running a lot of Win builds on VMs for debugging etc. and it's enough for me.

Or this Ytong https://as1.ftcdn.net/v2/jpg/01/99/70/94/1000_F_199709412_vW...

Because these are most common materials used for building houses, (in CZ).

And wanted to distinguish I don't mean classic house made of classic bricks. Because if American see a brick house, they think this, right? https://st.hzcdn.com/simgs/afd1745b0164c256_14-6933/home-des... And this type of house is very rare here. Maybe you can't even build it here, because of bad heat insulation etc.

So you will think twice to get it and you really don't want to loose it. Basically turning gun owners into the most law abiding citizens there is.

If you're talking about countries like UK or similar, where you can't legally defend against attackers and biggest cities are controlled by gangs with kitchen knives and acid bottles. Even police don't have guns and can't arrest them, cuz racism or something. GG EZ.

For comparison, I've paid around $2000 for whole family house project, it's not just plans but also heat-loss computation, heating systems plans etc.

Country CZ (EU). It's two story house made of "bricks", with gas+wood+heat pump heating systems. I would say pretty classical here. For ~$270k, not counting the property.

Also soon there is starting another round of EU subsidies in range of $50k paid upfront for houses with solar panels, green roof etc.
