"While you're trying to save $20/month on your email marketing tool and $50 on cheaper coffee for the office, your competitors will be spending their time and money to acquire your customers" - How if they are wasting their money as where you are saving? Wouldn't it give you more resources to go after their customers?

Same for the CEO of my company. Each additional app is a potential security risk they want to minimize. Web browsers they don’t seem to understand the risks as well. They think of webpages as being a potential attacker on the street that they can just avoid where as an app is a potential burglar of their home with their prized possessions

You aren’t getting dumber, you’re getting wiser. You’re brain is tired of studying and starting to question the point of it all which is sapping your willpower. You brain is craving for diversification. Not all lessons are learned in a classroom, in fact some great ones can be learned in a bar. You need a new challenge in an orthogonal field to academics

I see you’re quite the nihilist when it comes to computer security. But for your information, there are a lot of people in the corporate and government world that think computer security works like a bank. Unfortunately for us, many of those people are running the show, and too wealthy to care about learning about the details; that’s our job. So ultimately this so that they can feel save at night knowing they’ve covered their ass from negligence. This is why things like NIST-171-800 exist and this tool would be helpful for mandatory practices required to do business

Yea in 2009 it was worth 1$ per bitcoin and there's no reason it can't be the same in 2029.

I stand corrected. I confused Apple and Twitter when recalling this article.

Great example of why CCWs should be unconstitutional. How come some people can pay to exercise their 2nd amendment right?

Not when you're looking for someone with wisdom/experience to contextualize the event rather than give their opinion.

It would but I encountered a situation once, where when I would remove the drives of the array and test the disk 1 by 1 they would all work. It wasn't until all the drives were powered on and under max write stress would the power-supply under-volt to drives randomly making it appear as multiple drives were all failing.

At least Trump fixed that whole Russian Interference thing since people (Twitter, Facebook) seem to be so sure this election was secure.

It would be nice to be able to mount a remote linux data share as a drive without using SMB due to all the EternalBlue Ransomware issues. Having that convenience in windows file explorer like nautilus would be helpful for people who aren't necessarily power users.

It would be wonderful if sftp was included in windows distributions natively
