In today’s show, I discuss the National Public Data (NPD) breach, which contains 2.7 billion records, including the social security numbers of US residents. I cover how to check if your SSN is part of the breach and emphasize the importance of setting up a credit freeze for yourself and your kids. I also explore some useful tools for searching large datasets and share my thoughts on a Reddit post.

In this week's episode:

  1. On the brink of giving up!
  2. Using OnlyOffice as a Google Docs alternative
  3. National Public Data (NPD) breach
  4. Ripgrep (rg) and Silver Searcher (ag) tools for searching massive datasets
  5. Credit freezes
  6. Best efforts for Windows 11 privacy
  7. ElevenTray, a useful utility to always show Windows 11 tray icons
