  • Yep, well put. I love working remotely, but would appreciate once/twice a year having an off-site to get to know some people in the company on a more human level, or so I know who has a dog, so they can send me pics. As you said, during work hours it’s hard to get away from the transactional nature of the conversation.

    The other thing I’m always worried about, is when grads join the company. A lot are coming from an environment where they’ve been interacting in person on a daily basis, and now their only interaction is online.


















  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) is usually a good thing to enable in order to make it more difficult for an unauthorised person to login to your account remotely, as they will need that second authentication to be able to login.

    Unless someone has access to your computer, then cookies & history don’t really matter. However, if you login to facebook, and then leave your computer open for 10mins, someone could open up facebook again and you would likely still be logged in. If that’s a scenario you’re worried about, then you could erase all your browsing session data to ensure that you’re effectively logged out everywhere.

    Edit: below 2 links are also good to check if your email and/or your passwords have been leaked as part of a breach. Before using them, I would do a bit of research on the site to make sure you trust it. Always be sceptical with sensitive info!

  • I think usually they are referring to “undivided attention” because technically, even though we’re pretty bad at it, you can do multiple things at the same time. I can drive, listen to music, and have a conversation but it starts to overload my brain at that point, as most of my attention is focusing on driving.

    If we think of our brains & attention-span as RAM (memory), then some tasks take up more memory, and we have a limit to the RAM, so there are only so many processes that can run at the same time.

    Advertisers/products/lovers, they’re all fighting for a bigger slice of your RAM.
