New 3-2-1 Backup strategy just dropped:
3 backups, on 2 different sites, 1 of which you can access.It’s just one version you pay to access all the time, one version you pay to access once.
0 of which you can afford.
And file sharing. Sometimes a paywall 😥
I like smart home stuff. I hate my privacy being invaded. It’s a very thin line to walk.
A company recently released a product that promises to be Matter compatible. By the time the product arrived, they edited their product description to say it worked with Matter if you bought their always online hub, created an account, let their hub talk to the internet, and then installed their internet-connected plugin to Home Assistant. (So it’s not that HA talks to these devices, or that it talks to their hub. It logs into the company’s servers to get the current state of the device.)
I wrote a review outlining this. An AI bot sent me a message offering me additional products from this company. (Ha!) And included the line “We strictly adhere to data protection regulations” … in the U.S?
Laughably misleading.
It’s not a backup unless you can restore from it.
You can if you pay :)
Ransomrestore, now available on AIcoin.
