Looking Back at Our Most Popular Articles of 2021 With 2021 now fully behind us, I thought I’d take you through some of the most popular and shared content Tech Essentials produced. It was obviously a busy year for us and the world at large. The year began with a surge in COVID cases and ended with…a surge in COVID cases. Return to office (RTO) plans were thrown back into disarray, thus necessitating the continued need for WFH products like RMail [...]

Our Favorite Tech Trickery from 2021 On this last business day of 2021, you’ve by now probably had your fill of ‘best of’ lists, but please consider our own list of ‘favorite’ tech scams we’ve encountered in the past year. The sad truth is that human beings have tried to trick one another into doing things against their best interests from the dawn of time. This trickery in itself is obviously nothing new, but technology has enabled the tactics and methods to evolve greatly [...]

We Predicted the Death of Ransomware in 2017. Oh, Time Machines. We first wrote about Ransomware attacks in Tech Essentials in 2017 – back when a Bitcoin was valued at $1800 (oh, the good old days). The crux of the article was that many victims were paying their ransom to the cyber perpetrators, but they did not have an easy way to track and reconcile who paid, and m [...]

Independence from Big Brother, Big Tech and Big Putin This time of year, Americans are obviously thinking about independence. And this year, independence will take on even greater importance because the lockdowns are over, and we are free again to travel to see our friends and family for the holiday. Every holiday season we all take some time to reflect on the true meaning of the holidays. For July 4th I think we should all pause and think about the true me [...]

No Mitsakes Were Made in This Week’s Artical “To Err Is To Be Human”—a great quotation coined, I believe, by Rodney Dangerfield, or maybe Alexander Pope. My mistake. To be human is great—you get to enjoy earthly pleasures like food and music in ways that machines will never be able to do (at least for now). Humans get to love and run through fields of sunflowers in slow motion with their soulmates—not something an Alexa can do (at least for now). Can your iPhone experience [...]

Due to limited spaceflight availability, RPost provided virtual Earth-links for attendees. Those RPost employees attending the conference on the Red Planet flew coach to pass the savings to our customers, the greatest in the Solar System. We’re not sure wh [...]

What Does Humanizing E-Security Actually Mean? A common theme in marketing over the past year plus has been the concept that complex technologies and previously anonymous-seeming processes need to be ‘humanized’. This is likely rooted in the pandemic and a need to give people more of a personalized touch when many are living through a lock-down. Unless you managed to not watch any ads on TV recently, you’ll hear this in the ubiquitous (and now meaningless) messaging which starts [...]

Muons Wobble But They Don’t Fall Down While this year’s news has been dominated by politics and pandemics, there may have been a universe-shattering discovery made in the world of physics—one that may realign the very way we think about forces of nature. ‘Now this isn’t the usual eSign, e-security chit chat,’ you may think to yourself. Yes, this week on Tech Essentials, we will be dealing with the nature of the universe itself, so say with me “whoa!” in your be [...]

Big Game, Little Tech Innovation on Sunday This Sunday’s Superbowl will be the latest US sports championship to be presented during the COVID era. Kudos to the NFL for pulling of its season and post-season largely on schedule and without too many hiccups—though there were plenty. The Superbowl has become such a spectacle over its 55-year life, that it long ago transcended the actual sport for which it is declaring a champion. People will watch it for the ads, the celebrity-studded [...]
