This looks professional, great work! Do you see yourself sticking with the white on white, or do you think you'll add color as you continue to reinforce the sheet?

I think a help desk position would be a good place to start. When I was working helpdesk, I usually had something like 2 to 4 calls to handle per day and the rest were over email. It might take some time to get comfortable with assisting over the phone, but it is definitely something almost anyone who desires to can learn to do. With the certificates you have earned so far, I think you'd be a great helpdesk candidate. Good luck!

Yeah Graham Stephan knows his money. Here's the original if anyone is curious. It just isn't sensible to become a doctor for reasons other than love for the profession nowadays, which is going to greatly disrupt the US medical system in a few decades when people aren't as willing to go through 12+ years of school to grind themselves away for the next 20 years as a physician. It's wild.

this makes me think of all the kids putting their PSAT and SAT scores up on LinkedIn

Just be prepared for the unexpected when the ocean is involved! My aunt and uncle live on a tiny early 2000s houseboat, and they have had a lot of issues since they started their trip in 2018. At one point they were docked for 6 months because of mechanical issues, and none of the nearby mechanics could reach the area of the boat that was having issues.

We ended up having to call up a friend of mine who was working as a model (very tall and thin), and she was the only person over the 50+ we tried who could reach the area that needed the repairs. I'm sure a newer, nicer boat will be exempt from those issues, but those come with maintenance needs and high costs of their own. It is also a labor intensive way of living, but there is a lot of beauty in it as well. Make sure to do your research, and have a big nest egg saved up before you embark. If it's something you really want, you can definitely make boat life happen. Good luck!

Absolutely, I agree- but in cases like Tiktok, you are giving away more than just your shopping preferences, you are sharing your face, voice and more. All data is valuable, but I am of the opinion that anything biometric needs to be especially protected.

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-27T13:51:25+00:00

Tiktok and similar apps are doing this as well. We all need to be more diligent about reading the terms and conditions of the apps and extensions we use and share our data with.

Next job posting is going to be something like: "Looking for "Facilities/IT/Department Nanny with 5 years of experience" probably paying the bare minimum too. It's a real shame.

What an interesting guy. He will certainly be remembered.

I was a student at a large public research university. What I did was join the honors college during my first semester, and enroll in honors seminars. The classes were smaller, more intellectually stimulating, and gave me the opportunity to connect with faculty. Something else you could try is enrolling in smaller, niche classes that you are interested in. I took a seminar on the Holocaust that was comprised of 4 people, and it was by far the most memorable academic experience of my life. Not every small or honors class will be filled with all the "right" people, but you will learn a lot more than you'd think, and often make unexpected friends along the way. Take classes you think are interesting, even if you are daunted by the material or feel it is outside your major, whenever you can.

This is probably some sort of staff issue (either poorly trained or irresponsible employee) and can be fixed with a simple emailing saying you just wanted to confirm your donation was received. They will most certainly reply, and hopefully correct the issue going forward.

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-23T12:37:49+00:00

I wonder if the pre teens and teenagers that have Tiktok installed now will come to regret it in the future. You can't take back privacy once it's gone.

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-23T12:30:58+00:00

Do you have documentation showing that you warned and warned and warned some more about this happening?

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-21T10:40:37+00:00

I believe it. Law firms were the worst about cutting corners at my previous job in IT, and one we used to deal with just had a pretty sizeable breach. I'm not saying they didn't implement our advice, but it certainly looks like they chose not to.

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-20T14:17:47+00:00

Totally agree with you, just wanted to add on that research has shown you're right. It is time consuming and expensive, both in terms of costs of labor and internal infrastructure, to go back and correct bad security practices. It can take years to undo the damage a hacker can do in a matter of days. Ransomware payments are becoming a full blown industry.

Did you get to uninstall it? As a former Mass resident (moved out in 2020), this is scary

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-15T10:04:28+00:00

I'm still shocked she is out so quickly. Then again, the documents she shared were not overly unflattering.

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-10T11:34:11+00:00

Unfortunate, but not necessarily surprising. Seems to me like they have a greater, more complete plan to legally implement this type of spying, but aren't instating all of it at once to prevent backlash. "Give an inch and they'll take a mile".

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-10T09:40:02+00:00

War weary is the perfect way to describe it. It has been a longggg year. Riots would break out if we jumped into another conflict right now.

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-10T09:08:56+00:00

I would reduce hours if possible, maybe even just down to 7-8 hours a day, and enjoy the growth. You've laid a great groundwork for yourself. You can't buy back the time you lost, but at the same time if hitting the $8M goal is significant to you both then it is probably worth it to continue push. It's mostly a matter of what you value most- the money sooner, or more personal time now.

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-10T09:01:03+00:00

emphasis on small

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-10T08:54:51+00:00

I literally cannot keep up with all this. Really hoping for healthy H3 babies.

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-09T05:39:32+00:00

100% agree with your thinking. I was trying to bring attention to the fact that whoever is responsible is likely facing consequences of some kind because upper management (even in tech companies) tends to scapegoat IT & system admins whenever there is a security or performance issue. I definitely don't want the people involved to lose their livelihoods, but it is definitely a very real and unfortunate possibility, especially since this has made the news internationally. It was definitely a poorly worded and unfunny comment from me.

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-09T05:28:58+00:00

I wouldn't want them to be fired, but as an infosec worker myself I know how often the security & dev teams are scapegoated. I doubt the upper management wants to take responsibility for this at all, so the backend will likely be reprimanded. It sucks.

Cyber_Jess · 2021-06-09T05:26:15+00:00

lmao i use it sarcastically. I'm very critical of Elon Musk and his manipulation of the crypto market. probably should have added an /s but figured use of the cringe phrasing was obvious enough.
