One of the โ€œhatedโ€ stocks and often named โ€œAdvanced Money Destroyerโ€ is not doing bad at all ;).

#AMD

I'm my own worst critic. It's tiring. Very tiring...

No matter how much I try to convince myself that "good enough" is okay, I still don't act like it most of times.

I guess it's a long-time learning process.

Recognizable?

Damn man, it's getting terrible recently. I get scam calls from all over the world. Why the sudden influx? Does anyone know/experience the same?

Provider internet modem replaced by a new one. Let's hope my dodgy internet is finally fixed now. Non or poorly working internet is so frustrating.

If you'd bought crowdstrike stock shortly after the incident of last year, you'd (almost) doubled your money.

How to stop Meta from using your data to train its AI At the end of May, Meta will start using Europeansโ€™ data to train its AI. Here is how you can exercise your rights and prevent it.

If you're in Europe and you haven't objected to meta using your data for AI training purposes it's about time. You still have a little bit of time to do so before they start with it.

Yep, it's proven over and over again that it's better not to rely on the employees but make sure you build in a check against previously breached ones when users create a new password.

From the article: "At the same time, the report highlights sore spots. For example, while TU/e had multifactor authentication on most applications, it did not yet have it on the VPN log-in."

2/2

โ€˜TU/e acted well in cyber attack, but there are also learning pointsโ€™ Investigation: perpetrators unknown, they were likely out for ransom.

As this report highlights TU/e (University of Eindhoven) did a good job at IR, kudos to them for that.

Also yet another example that orgs get still hit through the weak spots and that this is often authentication (password/lack of MFA) related. 1/2

Not per say permanently but less social media for the moment. Less screen time and more enjoying the real life. Works pretty well so far, can recommend ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Only a few weeks ago it was 4. Sentiment can change rapidly. If you have money to invest, buy when others are fearful.
