Proton Drive
Here is a new cloud drive service that promotes security and privacy. If you are looking for a new place to secure you favorite files, this might just be what you are looking for.
My suggestion is first to test drive the site and the switch is worth it, then pay for the premium service for the extra storage.

It looks like this company is being questioned after a user who just signed for a one year license was automatically billed for another year, even when automatic renewal was disabled. Now this is not good news for subscribers who just want to test out the software before they move forward. So make sure you make note of this.

SpaceX to Provide Internet to U.S. Schools
SpaceX wants to provide internet on school buses to enable students to do homework en route. I guess this is sort of a giveback to society so that SpaceX can easily expand without conflict from the FCC.
Pretty smart move for SpaceX.

How much Internet Speed to I need
This is a question that I always get; it depends from person to person. Some users would need more speed if their kids do gaming or are running security cameras throughout their house and are using their wifi. But the majority of the users who do not have this problem can use the chart below.
Note : Don't fall for those salesman scams that you need gigabyte service. You are just wasting money. Gigabyte is way to advance and it will be a few more years before anyone trully gets full capacity. My advise is start low and gradually increase your internet plan as your broadband needs get bigger.

Netflix Argentina Problem
It's bad enough that their economy is not doing well, but a recent test to stop password sharing in the country has started a social media boycott.
Now it's going to be tough for some locations but if Netlfix does not make a firm stand for its subscription services, the future growth of this company will be questionable. Let's see what moves they make next.

Amazon IP Inaction
A group of hackers again were able to get control of Amazon's IP addresses to hack some crypto users and when all the dust cleared these thieves were able to drain $235,000 from crypto users.
It's another deja vu from Amazon, and they should have learned from the 2018 attack that their systems need to be changed.

EV Charging at Home
It looks like charging your EV at night at home may not be a good idea especially if your grid cannot support the extra load. The recent study points out that grid companies need to start focusing on public charging for EV vehicles to relieve the current stress. Not doing so is just going to make matters worse.

Alienware Ban
It's pretty interesting that with the current power consumption problems within six states this laptop is being banned and we can see more of this in years to come.
I understand the recent ban on electronic devices for power, I just don't believe that banning these devices is the right move. Instead there should be more emphasis put on developing better technology to save power.
