The title is “Microsoft To Cut Off Dual-Boot Windows Option”, which makes it seem as though MS is somehow going to make it impossible for you to…
Hint – be careful with your passwords. Fortunately, there are some fundamental things you can to do if you want your passwords to be secure: Change your passwords regularly – at least once a year. Don’t reuse old passwords – you’re going to have to make up a new one every time for every account….
Don’t just take my word for it though, watch Eva Galperin from the EFF and what she found when she asked people if they had ever been threatened by someone with access to their devices. The response was overwhelming. My takeaways from this: Most of these companies know exactly what they are doing and who…
