Squarespace is like $20/mo for a basic site promoting your Brick and Mortar business. That includes domain, hosting, and a template/CMS. It's not that pricey.
It's not pricey if you are a serious business making good money. It's a huge price if you are say a part time artist just wanting somewhere to store a price list, gallery and contact form.
I'm just surprised there is nothing that fills the gap between github pages and a full hosted solution with a ton of junk you don't need. All it really needs is maybe a locally running app that can handle generating the static pages and uploading them for you.
The barrier to create a website using Astro + a Template + telling an LLM like Gemini what you want is very low nowadays. So still, if you work with code some technical knowledge is required, but it will only get easier, probably.
There is very little chance a non developer would make it through that. The current options are Instagram/Facebook page which is free and easy. Or a website which is either expensive or requires you to be a developer.
Let's be more honest: if the power is on, the sheriff isn't locking your doors, but customers can't reach your web presence, the problem isn't really "the entrepreneur".
No. Firstly, there was no "leak", the data was never shared. The experiment was conducted by researchers then the data set destroyed. Secondly, there's 3.5b WhatsApp accounts. They just send the same message to everyone and the majority of numbers will have an account regardless.
I dunno if they're the next biggest, but they are one of the largest in the consumer space. They've been the best selling networking devices on Amazon for nearly a decade and ISPs use their products when bundling WiFi setups with ISP service (although those are usually centrally managed by the ISPs themselves)
The problem with breaches like the latest data set is that there's no source on where the breach came from, it's an aggregate from multiple breaches. They can't tell you that info because it's not in the initial data set.
Correct. This was initially being developed shortly after "Legacy but the failure of "Tomorrowland" canned the whole thing. Leto came on years later, offered to produce it and star in the film and brought the project back from the dead. This is basically his film, it doesn't exist without Leto as the lead
If you start getting an email bombed out of nowhere, being signed up for hundreds of newsletters or other email notifications, take a quick look at your credit card statements for any unknown purchases. Email bombs are often used by card thieves to hide legitimate purchase notifcation email from retailers when they use your stolen creds.
Another reason to actually get your credit card statement via snail-mail.
I understand it is wasteful, but I go on an evening walk and pick up the mail.
The effort for me to pick up the mail and read my credit card statement is actually quite nice.
It doesn't require you to sign in, and search my house for my phone or my YubiKey, it doesn't prompt me for other credit card offers, doesn't require me to download a PDF reader.
Better yet, setup transaction alerts on all your credit cards, and use a budgeting app like Monarch/YNAB to review all your household transactions each month or receive weekly email summaries.
>"The manufacturer had the power to remotely disable devices and used it against me for blocking their data collection."
He posits that some low-level support person triggered a remote "kill switch" because he dared to block some telemetry servers which is, frankly, ridiculous.
A much simpler explanation is that the device disabled itself after being unable to contact the cloud servers for X time (probably a bug), rather than an employee sending a kill command over the now-disabled cloud connection.
The article is obviously AI-written, and also I very much doubt that these conclusions were reached without a sycophantic AI in their ear.
