  • Meh, no one should be on Facebook.

    Too many people say nothing when it’s mentioned, so tacit approval is assumed.

    I’ve blocked sites like Twitter and FB, etc, on all my devices and networks. My friends and family still send me links, after I’ve repeatedly told them my devices can’t go to those websites (I’ve never once in my life been on either one).

    So I think it’s appropriate to point out using FB is as problematic as Reddit (worse actually. It needs to be continually said.

    FB had the Cambridge Analytica scandal that exposed how bad it is, and people still use it 🤦🏼‍♂️. They had tracking pixels for years, and whole I’ve never even visited the FB website, those bastards have a profile on me.

    So no, fuck FB.



  • Everybody in my team gets to own something. What you own depends on your capability.

    This is a point I try to constantly make when people don’t understand why 2 people have the same title but don’t really have the same job, especially in technical fields.

    No two people have the same set of skills, so we all end up taking on the tasks we’re more capable of than the next person.









  • Look at it this way, $30 per machine is a helluva lot cheaper than mitigating whatever 11 will break.

    Not to say don’t update, but Enterprise works on this stuff in advance, testing their systems with the newest versions as their Betas are released, to develop their mitigation strategies (including staged deployments).

    Even there, $30 is cheap insurance if they need a little extra time to address issues.

    For the home user, fuck that. Just ensure your security model includes layers, e.g. Don’t run as admin, isolate systems that are at risk, etc.

    Hell, at home I run different VLANS for my own stuff (cause I do risky things), one for TV (because those things are terrible about security), another one for everyone else, and a guest network.

    I was just thinking about this a little earlier.

    People simply can’t be bothered to learn how systems work (any kind, technical, financial, political), then bitch when it doesn’t work the way they want or think it should.

    I’m as guilty as anyone (especially finance). At least I try to not bitch about it too much, and work at keeping away from more complex stuff that I just don’t understand well enough.
