I had a 10 year old Macbook Pro that was really slow, I put in an SSD and it was transformed. Not expensive and plenty of YouTube videos on how to do it.
I read they knew about steam power for a long time but couldn't make the engines / containers / doohickies strong enough to contain the pressure.
Actually the floon goes inside the zargnix. Duh.
My main worry is that if I lose my phone or it's stolen, especially if I'm overseas,I won't be able to access a lot of sites due to the 2 factor authentication. A lot of sites don't have alternative 2fa methods, only SMS or through the app. I've been trying to think of a way to access these sites if overseas and my phone gets lost or stolen, the only thing I can think of is to take my sim out and hide it, and buy a local sim when in a new country. If I need 2FA I put in my old sim, but for day to day stuff use the local sim. If the phone gets stolen / lost, I've not lost the 2FA capability.
I did some IT work at a hospital, patient records including names, addresses, conditions and doctor's notes (inc mental health notes) were stored in the database in plain text. You had to have admin access to the database (which I did), but I was stunned that I could browse anyone's entire medical information. A few weeks after I left I sent an anonymous email to a couple of people letting them know how bad it was - I didn't use my real one just in case they may have come after me for looking at the records.
I'm in the anti-Moonswatch camp. I've thought about getting an Omega Moonwatch for a while, the Grey Side of the Moon in particular (https://www.omegawatches.com/en-au/watches/speedmaster/dark-side-of-the-moon/grey-side-of-the-moon/product). It's around $13000. Yes, a lot of money for a watch, but it's more than a watch - it's a sign to myself that I've worked hard and it's a reward. Most people won't be able to afford one, and will have different priorities and would think it a terrible waste of money. It's not to show off (like a Porsche or Ferrari), it's discreet and most people wouldn't know what it cost if they saw it. It's for me. It's also an investment; my brother has a Rolex that he paid around $1000 for in the late 80's, it's now worth around $30000. The Moonswatch diminishes the brand in my opinion.
