And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Yeah, but somebody printed out all the data which contained full name, DOB, SSN and address and posted it in a public hallway at the courthouse and your doctors offices.
Still have a bunch of those with engine manuals & part numbers on them along with the drive & viewer. Don't see many of the outboards anymore but I keep it anyway.
There still is no good reason to not maintain a cabled network or some computers, or even flash drives that are not connected to the internet, in order to store sensitive information off-line, where it cannot be hacked. The time involved in retrieving the information is marginal compared with the risk from hacking, and there rarely is a good business excuse for placing "everything" on internet-connected networks, let alone sticking it "in the cloud". That also applies to information that may need to be temporarily transmitted remotely via the internet. We have been hoodwinked.
Since USB-C is becoming ubiquitous is the day coming when no one will have a compatible port to read "old" USB-B flash drives? Actually, are there any C flash drives yet?

ReplyDeleteI probably blew a couple hundred bucks on disk caddies over the years. Don't have a single piece of physical media to my name now.
