Ransomware Attacks Won’t Die--Just Multiply Ransomware has become such a hot topic with a seemingly new case every day that we thought we would pick up where we left off last week... The earliest examples of ransomware (i.e., people hacking into computers, encrypting files and demanding payment in return for decryption) was relatively small potatoes—a hundred dollars here or t [...]

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 [...]

RMail Recommends-- The Key to E-Security Bliss Technology has been so ubiquitous for so long that we may fall prey to the gimmickry of it all. Wow! A robot dog! A smart outdoor grill! Dogecoin! One of the pitfalls for people in our industry is that technology is often pursued for technology’s sake and not for what it is truly intended for: making people’s lives easier. Once, about 10 years ago, I bought a Sphero, which is a basically a plastic ball that you can co [...]

Is the End of Multitasking Here? What do Napoleon, Robert Oppenheimer, and Abraham Lincoln have in common (aside from being famous)? Allegedly, they were all horrible multitaskers. In fact, multitasking, or the ability to deal with more than one discrete task at once, is not necessarily something we humans were ever naturals at. For tens of thousands of years, we as a species were hard-wired to go deep on specific tasks like hunting, building shelters, painting caves [...]

Read This Article on Media Bias (or the Dog Gets It)! If there’s one thing you should know about me (in addition to being obsessive about eSign and e-security), it’s that I’m a proud parent. Recently, I was at the dinner table engaging in a lively debate with my daughter about current events, and I was thrilled at how she could piece together a cogent argument. Her logic was impeccable, and her presentation was compelling. However, when I asked her how she knew her facts were tru [...]

No, RMail Recommends™ AI Will Not Take Over the World The concept of artificial intelligence (AI) has a long history in science fiction. Many historians cite the 1927 film, Metropolis as the first on-screen appearance of robots that had some kind of machine intelligence. Since then, AI has not been treated as kindly or with as much wonder. 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Terminator movies and dozens of other films usually have AI as a sinister force bent on the [...]

Now Let’s Really Start The 2020s 2021 may now be well underway. The government is starting to drop more money from helicopters, potentially trillions more upon the trillions already. I am not sure what this means for the Bitcoin crowd (I won’t bore you with my speculation on this unless you ask…). But, we at RPost and Tech Essentials are a hopeful bunch, and as I wrote in an  [...]
