Teen Security: 30 Day Security Challenge! Some Anonymous Teenager on Earth has a great question, "With the numerous hackers and breaches that occurred this year, I’d like to ask, what are some tips you have for security? I’m a teenager, who loves the show (thumbs up!), and is one of the seemingly few who actually care about digital security." We've got answers in the video, and suggest everyone check out Shannon's 30 Day Security Challenge!!!
Were HP's Archives Lost??? Searpea writes, "The Hewlett Packard historical archives were destroyed in wine country fires. See the last line about the archives online. And no fire proof safes?" We talk about fire proof safes (which aren't always so fire proof), archival storage, and the wrath of a really out of control wildfire in the video.
