Linked – Use Both Windows and a Mac? Use These Tweaks and Work Smarter

ByMike McBride July 19, 2016 Reading Time: 1 minute

Yeah, I go back and forth all the time, and there a couple of things that I commonly forget, so I’m sharing this for all of us who have to go back and forth between a Mac and a PC because of our professional duties.

What kids of everyday things cause you to pause or click around when you’re switching between the two?

Linked: Over 1 million GoDaddy WordPress accounts breached
ByMike McBride November 23, 2021November 23, 2021 Reading Time: 2 minutes

The breach of the WordPress credentials is bad, as is the sFTP credentials. Sure, if you are still using the same WordPress password that GoDaddy assigned to you when you started the account, you really need to step up your game.

WordPress is an inviting target, because getting admin access to a WordPress install, or really any other content management system, makes it super easy to lock out the original owner and inject anything you want into the site. Want a place to spread malware in drive-by injections? Nothing like an already existing, and maybe even trusted, WordPress site, eh?

Linked: Mental health widely seen as a barrier to career progression
ByMike McBride October 12, 2020October 12, 2020 Reading Time: 2 minutes

I could see this being true, because we know there is a lot of stigma surrounding mental health issues in the workplace:

“New research from recruitment agency Hays claims that nearly a quarter (24 percent) of those who have or have experienced a mental health condition feel they do not have equal access to the same career progression opportunities as other colleagues. Similarly, 12 percent of those who have had or experienced mental ill health said they felt this had led to their chances of being selected for a job being lowered.”

Linked – Seagate 8TB Drive For $229. We’ve Come A Long Way, Baby
ByMike McBride July 6, 2016July 5, 2016 Reading Time: 1 minute

Yes we certainly have come a long way, and more importantly, if you can spend that little to get 8TB of storage, there’s simply no reason to not have a backup of all the data on your machine. On the flip side, if everyone can easily have 8TB+ of storage in their home, we need…

Reading – Why hackers want your health care data most of all
ByMike McBride September 22, 2015September 20, 2015 Reading Time: 2 minutes

“Financial data has a finite lifespan because it becomes worthless the second the customer detects the fraud and cancels the card or account. Most forums for such data have a high enough surplus of stolen payment cards that they have fire sales. But information contained in health care records has a much longer shelf life…

Linked – The Internet of Things has a dirty little secret
ByMike McBride April 10, 2016April 9, 2016 Reading Time: 1 minute

“If Nest wanted to increase profits it could sell your home’s environment data to advertisers. Too cold? Amazon ads for blankets. Too hot? A banner ad for an air conditioner. Too humid? Dehumidifiers up in your Facebook.To be clear, that hasn’t happened yet but Nest already shares “anonymous” data with “partners” and Google just happens…

other than Maximize Window, I’d rather have my Windows “machines” act more like my Mac than the other way around.
