Me: I'm in IT (trying to keep it simple)

Them: OK, but what do you do in IT?

Me: I'm a system administrator (again trying to keep it simple)

Them: I don't know what that means. What does a system administrator do?

Me: I work on servers (again, trying to keep it simple)

Them: What's a server?

Me: I'm in IT...

Apparently from what I was reading these are forced updates from Crowdstrike, you don't have a choice.

They're probably just capturing SMS messages or regular calls. Which is still illegal without a warrant, but who watches the watchers? Use encrypted chats and encrypted calls if you're worried.

You can turn off all of those emails. At least I can, but I pay for it. There's like 3-5 toggles in settings to select what communications I would like to receive from Proton.

I'm really surprised that someone actually had the balls to make the first well type game. On top of that, they even made it so that it was like Halo 2 meets Halo 3. Well done.

People saw how successful Netflix was and wanted the same even though it was never going to happen. By doing this they've now made Netflix shit too.

Young? Literally every person I served with said it was weird over a decade ago.

No one should be shooting at tires, that isn't as easy as they make it in the movies (in this case yes it would have been). However, you should NEVER point a gun at something you do not intend to kill.

I work in IT and I've been against the cloud for over a decade and I always got looks like I was crazy. We still have vendors pushing us to buy into the cloud, I'll fight tooth and nail all the way. Unfortunately, a lot of vendors aren't giving much of a choice anymore by making their services cloud only. We'll have to start building custom applications soon to keep everything on-prem.
