cycop··on Europe continues to wrestle with the long arm of American law
Sounds like bad foreign policy , there are plenty of examples in history of what is bad for EU is even worse for the rest of Western countries. But works in reverse also, what is bad for the US is bad for the EU. Isolation is never the answer and only makes dictators that suppress human rights.

cycop··on The state of switching to Windows from Mac in 2019
Been an Apple user for 20 years and the switch came down to the absurd hardware cost of Apple. We have 5 desktops in the house (Large family), we do gaming, graphic design, video and audio production. Easily save $10K on upgrading all of our systems to modern hardware running Windows. The stability and experience of using Apple for graphics, audio and video use to be a big advantage 10 to 15 years ago. Now it's the same if not better on Windows.

cycop··on The Nightmare Letter: A Subject Access Request Under GDPR
The comments are an eye opening experience, amazed to see how so many people think they don't have a huge responsibility to the owner of personal information. More of a reason why GDPR is needed.
cycop··on The Nightmare Letter: A Subject Access Request Under GDPR
This is basic cyber security stuff and I get these questions from customers almost daily. If you are going to be in the business of using peoples personal information then you need to be prepared to answer these questions.
