So it’s kind of like back in the Netscape days.

Men are men, women are men, boys are men, and little girls are FBI agents.

That’s why we need script blockers by default.

Why stop there? By spending an extra $15 every month you get the new, updated software every time it launches!

Kinda miss the semi-futuristic 80s and 90s though. Give me those grey boxes and neon lights again!

Arr… owning stuff is the good thing.

Pretty interesting video! Thank you!

Yes… the part of the course I am at right now is about encryption on windows. I just skipped how they expained encrypting your HDD with veracrypt… that’s sad… windows itself lets you encrypt stuff natively…

Edit: now they encrypt it with bitlocker… like a whole 10 minutes of showing that…

I hate to admit, but I played Raid shadow legends on day 1. it was shit-tier after 3 hours and thirsted for money.

Needless to say, a YouTuber I saw during a YouTube-Trip said that they declined the raid shadow legends deal, despite it being 5 figures. Didn’t say the specific amount though.

Yeah I’m not going to use it. I used it once back in the days, but never since because it fucked up everything. It’s just, I paid for a cyber security course that’s all about how you can be safe, and then they throw NordVPN and CCleaner onto you in 2023 and I just… I’ve learned a lot about networking and security in this course and then that?

Hello world! It's me again with a question!

So, I remember back in the days of WinXP and Vista when we had the CCleaner or CCCleaner. I recently watched a YouTube video about some guy stating that it is so good and the best thing you can use today.

If I recall correctly, didn’t they get compromised like 7 times already and switched owners a couple of times?

Same guy talked about NordVPN being so cool and stuff but a friend of mine found some software of them on his server, I don’t remember what kind, probably some tracker or adware, and since the incident happened around the time everyone started to get sponsored by them, I don’t really trust VPNs.

I love the use of the female pronouns instead of he/she. Makes the text easier to read without triggering feminists. Anyway, I’m about halfway through and had to say this: This is the problem with nearly everything. You’re just told what and how it does but not why. I recently had a data-protection schooling at work and made some notes. Like they tell you that “social engineers“ manipulate you into giving them data (not to stick usb sticks you don’t know from some people into your PC, all the stuff you’re familiar with) but not how they obtain data.

Why do so many companies and people say that your password has to be so long and complicated, just to have restrictions?

I am in the process of changing some passwords (I have peen pwnd and it’s the password I use for use-less-er sites) and suddenly they say “password may contain a maximum of 15 characters“… I mean, 15 is long but it’s nothing for a password manager.

And then there’s the problem with special characters like äàáâæãåā ñ ī o ė ß ÿ ç just to name a few, or some even won’t let you type a [space] in them. Why is that? Is it bad programming? Or just a symptom of copy-pasta?
