backups, backups, backups!
For home computers, something like AOMEI backupper (recommended by our very own OG) and an external hard disk. For professionals, a proper local backup server. Given the galloping incompetence among software developers these days, these are absolute minimum requirements. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I prefer Macrium because AOMEI didn't create a boot medium last time I checked.
But yes... I agree with you.

"Cybersickness" might sound right out of a sci-fi novel, but it's an illness impacting people across industries today. It's the red pill not working properly

It is not an illness.
Your mind not being fooled by a simulation because it can't provide enough data for your senses doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. It means the simulation is lacking.
If we ever dare evolve, mankind will oppose it like it is a sickness to be cured. And we will cure them.

Software testing is nearing the end of its Cretaceous period. Og find bug. Og hit bug with rock. Og ship to production.
|
|
|
|

Synopsis:
- Manual testing is being outsourced to cheap labor locales, so test automation has suffered.
- The test group should report to operations, not development.

The coronavirus pandemic is thought to be at the heart of a rise in security incidents this year. I'm not oblivious to best practices, I'm just oblivious
Many users may just be quoting Roger Ebert: "To the degree that I do understand, I don't care"

"Best Practices" - isn't that quoting Melania Trump ("Be Best") while wearing her "I really don't care, do u?" jacket?
Here's to being oblivious!

That shouldn't be allowed. And I mean not the registry hack, but the "avoid" it.

I really hope this is just a badly written way of saying "won't allow you to run without any AV", not "will force defender to run in parallel to whatever 3rd party AV you might also be using".
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
