@caseyliss That's interesting. BTW, your stupid ATP Member special on cars has me looking at new ones :P. My wife is going to kill you guys :). I am eyeing the new MY Mercedes E300 (I know you aren't a fan of Mercs), the VW Golf R (I used to own back in the day a Golf VR6 - V6 engine in it), a 928 GTS Porsche (I love them) but very old cars now (although there is a guy re-doing them for $1m each - brand new with up to date interior), perhaps an Audi. I keep getting drawn to the Golf R though.

@caseyliss Your answer is kind of what I thought might be a possibility. I hate FWD cars (I have one at the moment). I hate how it feels on the steering wheel. I am seriously considering the Golf R but your answer confirms my fear that I will feel like a top heavy FWD steering car. I wish they'd release a true AWD version.

@caseyliss Does your Golf R truly feel like an AWD?

@gruber Does the keyboard come with software where you can re-configure a key? What are the function keys for?

I use a Yubikey for authentication. I keep it on my key ring. My wife has a one which also works as a duplicate of mine. In case the house burns down and we lose our keys, I’ve kept another yubikey in a safety deposit box. So without thinking, I put the key to the safety deposit box on my key ring. Dumb move. What should I do with it?

I wonder if organisations started literally valuing the data they hold from an accounting treatment perspective (bit like how they value good will) they hold as an asset (or liability) to the company, how would that change an organisation?

I saw with interest the Australian Prime Minister's comment that shutting down your phone for 5 mins per night helps mitigate against Cyber Crime. It doesn't. But I will you let you in on something else. Shutting your phone down for 2 hours per night to spend with your family, and have everyone else do the same thing, will pay in dividends for life :)

Is it just me, or is there no way to get for MacOS to keep the timeline constantly at the top and let it auto scroll by keeping the most recent toot at the top? @ivory

Does anyone have any recommendations of a tool or service being able to search the dark web continuously, passively (so no one knows I am looking for it), and automatically notify me of company names or individual names that have been hacked and had identity documents stolen, whereby they are being talked about on the dark web and/or offered for sale?

@marcoarment Hi Marco. Do you still use Arq Backup? I use it and rely on it heavily. Wondering what you use these days. I know @caseyliss uses the Backblaze client, but I am interested in something more sophisticated and more configurable. Only reason for asking is that whilst I will continue to use Arq (as I love it), if Stefan disappears tomorrow, I don't know of an alternative. @siracusa Feel free to weigh in on this too if you so desire.

A great organisational culture is key to success in managing . Don't waste money on technology based solutions if the culture is not right. Fix that first. Culture eats strategy for breakfast.

@Chrisosaur Thanks Chris. I’ve seen both and totally agree with you!

@kraigschmidt thank you ever so much. I’ve seen a lot of those but equally there are many I have not, so I am delighted that you took so much effort in providing that list. Thank you ever so much!

Best movie? I know that SciFi is multi faceted in and of itself, but would love to hear suggestions. I've loved Interstellar, Arrival, Passengers, Sunshine, The Martian, Ad Astra just to name a few. I could go on. I'm hoping, just hoping there is a recommendation out there that I haven't watched that I'll love :). Thanks in advance for replying!
