      Yeah. I don’t get a headline, but I said it a couple times this week.

    You mean It’s a bad idea to put government secrets in the cloud of a large company whose only working department is their PR department?

    Maybe, but only if windows users continue to not learn how to use their PCs

        Only if the closed source black box has your information in the first place

        Shitty security practices, and a lack of good security software is to blame for that
