When are we going to get projection against unauthorised USB devices when the workstation is locked (ie, I'm away from my computer and a nefarious actor inserts a USB device) similar to the recent iOS 12 improvements?

So I’m now sold on DDG. Yeh sure there are cool little helpers in Google that DDG doesn’t have (yet) but can’t think of any right now that I miss so they can’t be too important.
The fact is that "monolith" applications can scale, and they can be deployed as a unit and they can still adjust to varying load using modern cloud infrastructure.
The enemy to scale, productivity and success isn't "monoliths". It's complexity! And an experienced and pragmatic developer will tell you that they fight daily to avoid complexity at every turn. Yes, sometimes it's necessary, but they weigh the pros and cons on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the gradient to complexity is always as low as possible.
Sure this makes the problem of mocking the server less painful. Well done. But I'd take completely integrated tests over these any day. Sure they're slower but that's more or less irrelevant with feature toggling, staged roll-out and continuous production monitoring.
It's totally possible to completely avoid mocking http endpoints thus making these tools completely obsolete.
In simple terms, the laser transmitter, the laser receiver and the beam that is used introduces a feedback mechanism that the transmitter can employ to immediately detect an unsafe condition and cut the high power (infra red) laser transmission. The response is so fast that the risks to damaging eyes, etc are acceptably low.
Learn (read: Google) about and experiment with what interests you.
Use your network (go to meetups if you don't have one) to find intersection between interesting tech, and roles/opportunities in the marketplace. Then double-down on those (learning, OSS contrib, etc) so you can become more appealing to employers.
I didn't finish it either.
AgileBits are trying to change their business/revenue model and that transition is not suiting this user. Shame for AgileBits but you can't please everybody.
One thing I noticed is that he's not happy to have his encrypted password file in the AgileBits cloud. This is the way LastPass works too. I get some folks don't prefer this but I don't see it as a major risk. If you're using any reputable password manager (a set that includes 1Password IMO) then you're 100x safer than the mainstream even using the vendors cloud hosting.
Try to avoid the cheap bundled cable/fibre/DSL routers that ISPs "throw in" with their plans/packages.
Disable the remote management/update/TR-069/CWMP/SSH/etc if you can. You don't wanna trust someone else to secure your home.
It's no surprise the level of compromise and breach when you intersect what were pretty distinct skillsets and dump them in the mixing bowl together. That's what this IoT thing is like - it's a bunch of household and industrial chemicals all poured into the one container. It's not going to be very safe.

Not a lot has changed in the past few years. Macbook Pros are NOT easy to mod/change or swap parts. This is very clearly the intention of Apple.
I see what he's trying to do, but this isn't the way I don't think. Mathematical proofs that verify that a payload is observed, opened, or accessed work. They are deterministic. They are also way more complex. I think this is trying to solve a problem in a simple way but it's still just as nondeterministic as without this solution IMO.
How many attackers are going to click that link or any link for that matter? Seems the value prop of the product is based on the assumption that folks will click. Maybe it's a solid assumption. I just can't see the evidence for it.
