Do you think that AI will change tech jobs in the future to the point where people should start planning ahead? I don't want to be in a position where I get replaced by AI!

I feel like they charge more for services than they should and they punish you if you leave them. No proof, just opinion based on reviews and my own experiences.

That being said, I use RoboForm because it is a good value and budget friendly, plus I enjoy the app. I have compared a few and stuck with this one now for 2 years. 

Which one do you use?

I am going to be looking into joining a school later this year to work on getting some degrees and hopefully better my odds of landing a good job. I have always been interested in cyber security but especially things like digital forensics. I will be going for a degree in cyber security but what other classes/degrees should I aim for to have a well-rounded education to get a job in this field?

So they are going to push for a ban. Seeing as I am in one of these states, I am a bit concerned. I use VPNs for privacy and I think this is what most people use them for. I am not sure what other options I will have if they get banned. Any ideas?

I understand providing a desktop for office jobs, most places do but more and more are giving laptops and phones specifically for work in office or at home.

What sorts of risks do you think could happen by allowing people to use their personal devices for work?

Assuming you do your own home network, are their line of products such as cameras, smart bulbs, sensors, and so on secure and private?

I am inquiring for a friend who is looking to put smart devices around his home. He had a bad experience with a house he was renting with those Ring cameras so now he is paranoid about privacy.

He is going to be moving people over to cloud services at a more affordable rate compared to say Microsoft or Google. I know security is very important for businesses like this. What precautions would you give to someone starting up this kind of business when it comes to cyber security?

I might just be calling it something different. I didn't want to ask at work and embarrass myself. 

Can someone explain what a vulnerability assessment is and what tools people use to perform this?

Disgruntled employees could leak information to competitive businesses or worse, compromise your security entirely... Is there a good measure to prevent this?
