  • Financial advisors for the Uber rich. I remember hearing an interview of one on…radio lab or this American life or… Something…I can’t remember it was years ago, but anyway she described what it was like. They don’t use passports, they would call her to find bracelets they lost in taxis, it didn’t sound like they were working at all. I don’t remember if she went into their work schedule, but financial advisors are treated like baby sitters, or at least she was.

    I thought that might be a good place to start, I’m sure some of them have written books about it, or done more interviews.









  • A much much larger proportion of users are computer illiterate, especially federal employees. On top of that, the vast majority of basic software applications used are the Microsoft suite of Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. How do you

    1. Retrain an aging workforce to use a new OS.
    2. Retrain to use new software suite for email, docs, etc.
    3. Or rebuild existing software to run on Linux
    4. …there’s more but I’m short on time…

    The ENTIRE US govt runs on Microsoft. That’s a very big pie to rebake. Where do you even begin. I do agree with you, it just feels unsurmountable.











  • I want to turn a Microsoft surface go 2 into a kali linux machine. I would appreciate any guidance pulling this off. I want use it for learning it security stuff, partly for work but mostly for curiosity. Occasionally I run across malware, trojans, and I want to look under the hood to see how they work. I’m assuming Kali is the best tool for the job and that Lemmy is the place to go for tooling around with tools.
