It's always interesting to see when companies give a price for ad-free versions of their services, because it gives a good indication of how much they've been selling your personal data to advertises for. Although I suspect that n

Unless they're downsizing, companies don't generally want to fire people, because it's expensive to replace them, and it wastes all the time and effort spent training them. If an employee isn't performing well, it's

If you took the entire content of your mailbox, any files shares/onedrive/etc and the all the slack channels you could access and dumped that all online, I imagine that would still do a fair bit of damage to your company. And even

Companies don't want to give employees any warning that they're about to be fired - because that would give the employee a chance to do some damage (modify or destroy data, steal IP, etc). The person who's being fired shouldn

Going back a few years about 7% of Tuvalu's GDP was from the .tv TLD. It can be a pretty big earner for some of the smaller countries that lucked into a popular TLD.

It's worth noting that in this case "blocking" means "asking nicely for it not to index them" - so how effective this is depends on how well behaved the bots are. There is a danger though if certain types of sites a

LOLBAS a great project, and is really useful when you're on systems and can't easily import new binaries. It can also provide a good list of binaries to blacklist (or at least monitor and alert on), as long as you do it with care.
