In the US it can even vary by state. Dying without a will or transfer on death assets can be a nightmare for the deceased family. My father died without a will and my mother and I spent a year jumping through hoops and dealing with lawyers trying to get everything straightened out.
I encourage everyone to take a look at their local laws related to the subject. You may be surprised at how things would work out without some planning on your part.
Yep, that was the first thing I thought of after reading the headline. I read 'The woman who.would not be silenced' and it left a big impression on me.
Apologies...I misread that
Try removing bitwarden and do the same test. Ibet bitwarden is checking for updates that it needs to sync.
I should clarify. I have zero spam at my new email Addy and 20-30 at my old hotmail account.
I dramatically reduced my spam by switching to proton email and requesting removal at the big data brokers. Inteltechniques.com has a list of data brokers and how to request removal of each. There are a ton of brokers but I just did the big 6-8 brokers that they recommend starting with. I went from hundreds of spam a day down to 20-30. YMMV.
Yep I've been working through the old shows and remember him talking about that. This was weird that all the episodes were removed..even recent ones. I just found his podcast so I'm hoping its just a temporary hiccup.
The podcast is currently down. A new show was published the other day and then quickly deleted as well as all the old shows. It's not clear whats going on with it....legal or technical issue.
This can go way beyond 'tracking' software. I used to write software that my company used in its core business activities. Almost everyone in the company used some portion of this software. The logging for that system included timestamps and user IDs the captured general high level activities. If we had a system issue we could ramp up the logging to much more granular levels. If mgmt asked we could query the logs and get a pretty good idea of how much or little you were using the system. That wasn't the main intent for the logging but it had been used for employee performance monitoring on more than one occasion.. In all my years of coding, every app I worked on had similar logging.
If you are on a work PC, assume your activity can be monitored and/or logged in some fashion.
That's common knowledge now but some of us have been around since the beginning of the modern internet when corporate data collection wasn't even a thing. The privacy invasion was a slow creep that some of didn't notice until it was too late. The 198 accounts in my password manager are only the last ten years or so of accounts. I've been online since the early 90s and can't begin to remember what services/sites I was using back then that might have survived or been breached.
I love shows like that. There is one called something like 'How I caught my killer' which usually involves digital forensics of some sort. It's cool and super creepy at the same time. It also makes me wonder how far I should go with trying to be anonymous. If someone had a Grapheneos phone bought anonymously and only used e2ee communications on a VPN..what sort of hindrance would that be if that person was murdered. Lol these are the thought exercises that I go through while I'm walking the dog....that and how to keep the dog from noticing that bunny in the next yard.
The DMV and the post office(if you submitted am address change) are the most likely offenders.
