> Plexure boasts that it can predict what day a given customer is getting paid on and use that information to raise prices on all the goods the customer shops for on that day, on the assumption that you're willing to pay more when you've got a healthy bank balance.
I've been using GV for over a decade. It's the last Google service that I still use regularly. I use mailinabox for my email/contacts/calendar/drive. I've looked, and there aren't any drop-in substitutes for GV. I've had a Number Barn account with two phone numbers for a few years. They seem to provide better voice quality than most alternatives, but their SMS integration is poor. I'm not sure if they even do voicemail, but I don't think they do.
Looks interesting. I got as far as where it asked me to pay them $15, which I'm reluctant to do without first trying out the service. How does one receive a Referral code?
as Homer Simpson said in the 90s: "if you don't like your job, you don't strike! You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way."
The DBIR is an interesting dataset in that it only covers breaches that have been covered by the media.
It does not include the vast majority of breaches that happen every year and are reported to federal and state regulatory bodies or as posted to cybercrime / ransomware sites.
One of the coolest things is that this process though flawed is transparent and semi-open to the public.
The dataset and the underlying process for which events are selected takes place in the open on GitHub.
With a lot of shared software. Need a strong reason to introduce differences which if accidentally misconfigured could have large contract liabilities.
I have a Pixelbook that I picked up on ebay for cheap. I was planning on loading MrChromebox's custom firmware and installing a "real" Linux and all that, but honestly the thing does everything I need (a browser and a shell) so easily I didn't even bother. You can install an Ubuntu VM in a couple clicks, it supports Wireguard natively and it has a touchscreen. I don't even run it in developer mode any more. I'm really happy with the stock ChromeOS these days shrug
You can really install another OS on it with a couple of clicks? I always thought you needed a special USB debugging cable to unlock the bootloader first. I have a Pixelbook that I'd like to give a friend of mine but he can't have a Google account() so it'd be rather useless for him ootb.
He's homeless and can't rely on having a stable phone number for 2FA
I don't know the current state of the art, but I learned software development on a Chromebook with Linux and I didn't need any special cable. Originally I used Chrouton, but later switched to GalliumOS.
That said, sometimes the computer would get in a weird state that required going into regular Chromebook mode to fix, so I think you'd at least want to have a throwaway Google account for managing it. Doesn't have to be something you actually use.
What I remember being a few clicks away last time I used one (about two years ago), was an Ubuntu container that could be installed with a persistent local filesystem and shell access.
