Kindle owners beware and make sure you are on most recent update. https://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/113743/hacking/kindle-kindledrip-exploit.html
Strategical investments are past due, these days it's easy to write code, there are a lot of materials to teach people to code. Unfortunately experience matter in order to produce great code, and not many companies yet understood that investing into CI/CD will improve code their produce as well as overall security of their systems. Stop complaining about talent and empower your existing employees with CI/CD tools.

There is no cloud it's just somebody else's computer. Apple and Google trying to decive people into believing that by paying for it person actually buys the phone and gets private space in their cloud for backups, well not really ... https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusive/exclusive-apple-dropped-plan-for-encrypting-backups-after-fbi-complained-sources-idUSKBN1ZK1CT

Journalists are important fabric of our society, our democracy, when they are prosecuted for the information they published it creates very dangerous precedent, espionage act has not been created to silence journalists, those actions destroy our democracy, look around silencing journalists is a first action of any dictatorship state #freespeech https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/21/opinion/laura-poitras-assange-espionage-act.html

In 2021, we want to focus on improving some of the very core features of Tails, especially for censorship circumvention.
We want to completely redesign how to start Tor and configure Tor bridges.
This will make it easier for people in countries where accessing Tor is blocked to circumvent censorship. According to data from the Tor project, the top 5 countries by users of Tor bridges are Russia, Iran, the US, Belarus, and China.
More of Tails plans for 2021 here:
