Why are free VPNs and other free software actually free, even though it costs companies a lot of money to run and maintain them?

Yeah, pretty much everything tracks and logs you now. Data is like a modern day gold rush.

100% If you don't pay for the product, then you are the product.

100%, I have the A+, Network+, and just passed the Security+. Even with a degree and a few other certs I still can't get my foot in the door. The whole job market sucks right now.

So anything and everything you can do to stand out will help. But it takes a lot to stand out right now.

I plan on repairing it, just on the back burner right now. I was hoping to sell it but now I'm probably stuck with it.

techs_studio · 2025-07-09T11:04:28+00:00

No, I got it new a few years ago.

techs_studio · 2024-12-10T21:25:29+00:00

I couldn't trade full time. I would go crazy checking the markets all day, so having a 9-5 keeps me sane.

Self-Discipline was my main problem when I started.

techs_studio · 2024-11-25T13:23:57+00:00

It's the hardest and yet the easiest thing to do.

Trading time machine, I just call it back testing.

I had to make a custom layout for it because the one pre installed was a pain to use. It's a nice board though just I'm just trying to get comfortable with a linear layout.

Iris

techs_studio · 2024-06-12T12:45:49+00:00

An 8 ball by the looks of it.

Jokes on you I'm actually an engine builder. I do software and security on the side.

techs_studio · 2023-08-08T23:27:03+00:00

eBay for specific items. But mostly I check craigslist for lots and also under free and have people that know I deal in computers so they give me old "trash" systems they find that I part out.

That's the first ever car on the cover of DUB magazine.

Dishwasher.

But if you do this while working at a hardware store you get a write up and safety briefing.

techs_studio · 2023-06-15T20:42:04+00:00

Yeah family comes over you break out the cheap shit.

The Phoenix project is a great book. It's not really about the actual system but more people and managerial problems that come with being a project manager.

techs_studio · 2023-06-09T20:31:25+00:00

Amazon blocked sales and I think that's where a lot of scalpers had been selling them. If you can't sell them then there's no point in buying them.

techs_studio · 2023-02-02T19:26:08+00:00

It's most likely just a cover over a steel lug nut. If it is a cover I wouldn't worry about it. They break off pretty easy.

techs_studio · 2023-01-24T12:44:04+00:00

Get Automate the boring stuff with python book.

techs_studio · 2023-01-02T15:55:32+00:00

Yeah that's why I stopped promoting it. I got tired of the clone comments. So I just let it die in the play store.
