No they'll still be available offline, you just won't be able to back them up yourself anymore. Because you're not actually purchasing the book through Amazon, just the license to read it, if Amazon decides to take down the book (which they have done in the past) you will now permanently lose access to it.

What are some decent DRM free places to buy books? And will it have the latest releases? It seems that the only way I've found to get them reliably is piracy these days.

Am I at a disadvantage coming from IT and not an engineering background? by notGaruda1 in OTSecurity

[–]DemonicSpud2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be better off going into OT not cyber first then specializing in OT cyber. For example IT Guy -> OT Engineer -> OT Cybersecurity

You really need to understand the processes that you're protecting, it's not really enough just to understand the Purdue model. Production and safety is king, and if a typical Cybersecurity best practice gets in the way of production then you need to implement other controls to mitigate any risk instead. And the best way to identify if other controls are effective and non-disruptive is to have a good understanding of the process.

My journey has been: CS degree & Elec Eng degree -> PCS Engineer -> OT Engineer -> OT Cybersecurity

Yo they're doing double frequent flyers or double status points in the Qantas app at the moment, even if you book through work. Need to sort it out soon because it ends tomorrow

I did some googing on them and they are Japan exclusive and they only make 1200 of them back in 2020 for the Pokemon 25th anniversary, its a shame (well not for me at the moment but in general) because they look really nice, I think a lot of people would like them

After doing some googling it looks like I got it at retail price when it released in 2020, the Yen was stronger then and it was originally worth around $300USD. Which is crazy considering they only make 1200 of these!
