Tech advice you can trust™ |
Quick tip of the dayThere is a reason that most economists and investors warn against putting money into digital currency. It’s unstable at best. While sometimes cryptocurrency climbs to staggering rates, other times it takes a huge jump off the high-dive and people have lost their life savings. If you do invest, it is smart to keep track of the fluctuations in the market. CoinMarketCap is a great resource to keep up with prices and changes. |

You're giving away all your data for that free email accountI don’t trust Big Tech and you shouldn’t, either. You’ve heard me say for years that free email services like Gmail or Yahoo aren’t really free. There’s a big price to pay — your privacy. These free email sites scan, analyze and save details of every email you send and receive, giving Big Tech a very intimate and detailed profile of you so they can easily sell your data to the highest bidder. That’s why I use StartMail. With StartMail, I can send encrypted emails with one click, even if the recipient doesn’t use encryption. And StartMail never scans or analyzes your emails. Best of all, when you delete an email, it’s gone — forever. Don’t trust Big Tech with your data and privacy. Go to StartMail.com/Kim today for a seven-day free trial and 50% off your first year. → |
