Fußnoten
1
Note that we’re talking upload speeds here, not download speeds. Most times you care about download speeds, which is the speed most ISPs tout. Often the upload speed is much slower than the download speed.
 
2
Thanks to the CLOUD Act, passed in early 2018, they may not even need a warrant.
 
3
As this book was being published, Apple announced that they would now support user-encrypted iCloud backups. This is a really big deal, though it still has some limitations. You can read more about it here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303
 
4
If you have a laptop, it has a built-in battery. Power interruptions are only an issue for desktop computers.
 
5
Note that this also implies that you shouldn’t install lots of apps willy-nilly, either. Some people install tons of free and trial apps and then forget to remove them—particularly mobile apps.
 
6
Cybercriminals are known for striking over long holiday weekends. Hacking big companies can take time, so bad guys strike when most people are out of the office and have better things to do than think about work.
 
7
I almost never turn my computers off. There’s little reason to do so today, even to save energy—most computers will enter a low-power “sleep” mode after some amount of time. However, sometimes it’s helpful to restart your computer. I’ll cover that in Chapter 6.
 
8
If you’re already a BitWarden user, then you can just use the app or browser plug-in to do this.
 
9
It seems to have removed this in macOS Ventura for some reason. Maybe they’ll bring it back.
 
10
This article does a good comparison, though their scoring system doesn’t really show how close these two really are. Both have 4.5 stars, but the “score” is 2 vs. 6 points: https://www.cloudwards.net/idrive-vs-backblaze/
 
11
Note that Backblaze’s installer was a little behind the times when I captured these screenshots and followed their installation process—they didn’t seem to be updated for Ventura. So unfortunately, these steps may change a little by the time you read this. But follow along anyway—the important information and steps should be correct.
 
12
Note that as of this writing, there’s a new Microsoft utility in beta called PC Manager for cleaning up your Windows PC. If this is available, I would use it over any third-party application, at least as a first pass.
