Who is the biggest spammer?
It is certainly nothing new that those labeling their spamming activity as ‘email marketing’ have no idea what real email marketing looks like, but that is not the point of this short article. I have been closely observing that so-called ‘security companies’ are generating most of the junk email traffic. It is ironic that companies…

Doctoring Data: How to sort out medical advice from medical nonsense
That’s the name of a book: *Doctoring Data* by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick. It teaches you how to spot misleading medical claims and understand the tricks used in health research and media. But you could easily generalize it to all kinds of data. The mindset is there — the idea — and you can definitely see…

The Panacea Illusion
The new obsession This feels like the beginning of a new religion. ChatGPT arrives, and suddenly everyone believes they’ve found the cure for everything. Every question, every confusion, every gap in understanding, now delegated to a chatbot. The same pattern repeats: a new tool, a new promise, a new exhaustion. People forget that every tool…

Privacy—Again, But in Different Words
Privacy: your online identity isn’t masked by using a VPN. A VPN simply redirects your traffic to a private sector—where targeting you becomes easier and more meaningful. Whatever we call a “privacy model” is baked into the nature of the system itself. It can’t be changed or avoided unless you opt out entirely. If you…

Abusing Internet Users: The Silent Cost Behind “Free” Online Services
There is a reason many of us hesitate to work on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or any of these so‑called “free” online services. It is not because the technology is bad. It is because the model is bad. These services do not just host our content — they quietly learn from our experiences, our decisions,…

Troubleshooting with Google is useless because you won’t learn
problem solving is not searching searching might give you an answer. but it won’t give you understanding. “water usually finds the way out of a leaky pipe, but it won’t fix the plumbing.” systems are complex. success is luck without insight. troubleshooting is its own skill you learn to troubleshoot by knowing what parts interact.…
