Unpopular opinion: The LastPass Breach isn't as big a deal as people are making it out to be.

- LastPass disclosed in a reasonable timeframe for people to protect their accounts. That's pretty great of them to do. - Some customer information was taken like phone, billing info, and URLs to websites you use which sucks, but vaulted usernames/passwords are encrypted with a key based off your master password and processed on the local device. Incredibly low risk of brute force here.

I just realized my non-US friends probably don't know how US insurance works.

So lets say your employer offers insurance. They pay a portion and then you pay a portion. For a family, the employee pays on average about $400 per pay cycle, or $10,400 per year. This does not mean all your medical care is then covered by insurance. Nope, not even close.

Most doctors visits have a co-pay, meaning you pay this to even be seen. It's anywhere from $20 to $200 depending on emergencies.

Insurance also requires you to pay a deductible...

An example of security priorities and how they are tricky sometimes:

I worked for local gov and we were responsible for the county/city dispatch system. That's where all the 911 calls go.

It's top priority to keep those computer systems up and running, right? Nope.

(1/6) You see, public safety is 24/7/365. You can't just stop because the internet is down. So we had a "paper" system. Every dispatcher, police officer, firefighter, and animal control officer knew what "switch to paper" meant because we didn't worry about 24/7 availability.

This is the first gift my husband ever bought me 13 years ago. 🥰

Story time. At a job I worked, sometimes it was REALLY slow. We had a game we played where you could make a list of 20 items you would take with you during a Zombie apocalypse. Weight didn't matter, just 20 items.

Then everyone else would look at your list and figure out how you died.

I'll tell you why:

Age 8: Computer camp. Instructor told my mom not to bring me back. He said I would distract the boys.

Age 12: Computer aided drafting class. My partner was a guy who did nothing, but I wanted to use the computer so was happy to do everything. He got a

99% and I got a 90%. We turned in every assignment as a pair. When my partner said it was unfair, the teacher said, "I know you helped. No girl gets high scores here."😑

Age 14: Programming class. Teacher joked I must have misread the schedule because I was in the wrong class.
