I'd imagine that food-born illnesses are mostly attributed to unclean surfaces at various points in food logistics. From the farm that grows and distributes, say, lettuce to the cutting board and dinnerware used by chefs. I'd ima

Ah, but a pastry chef can only disappoint so many customers at once. A single stupid mistake by a software developer can impact millions . The Yahoo leak alone was half a billion users . That's a lot of dough!

Not only that but a cheap, inexperienced dev can create negative value. Not just in the product that they're working on but your entire brand. Just ask LinkedIn or Yahoo if it was a good idea to put some ignorant fool in charge of th

Extremely unrealistic. Such technology requires either a lot of moving around or antennas everywhere to triangulate the thing you're looking for. It takes less than 30 seconds to get a drone out of a car and into the air. I know becaus

Lack of updates create a security issue. In fact, I'd argue that update mechanisms are the most critical security issue of our time! By neglecting to update devices you increase risk by ensuring vulnerabilities won't get fi

Your assumptions about the safety of LANs are wrong. LANs are not "safe" from attackers and NAT is not a security tool. If an attacker compromises any device on your network you think they'll stop there? Hell no. They&#x

I like your sentiment but merely disconnecting the antenna isn't good enough. That just results in bad reception which often results in power being boosted which can introduce a lot of unnecessary noise into the WiFi RF spectrum. I

Most consumer routers have a built in firewall, yes but I've never seen one outside of my own house that's actually configured to block anything. Have you? No one configures them! No, NAT is most decidedly not a firewall.

There's risk both ways... By updating you risk breakage. By not upgrading you risk security issues and increase technical debt (which is a risk amplifier). I'd argue that missing out on security fixes is far more risky than an
