"personally identifiable information like addresses, insurance numbers and other contact details."
Unlike the good ol' USofA, having you NI number out in the wild is nowhere as near as bad as a Social Security Number in the US. Apart from work, the taxman and pension, I'm struggling to remember where else it's used. Unlike the SSN where it's used to identify if you want to get almost anything requirinh even the most basic of checks.
I've just in the process of swapping out my dad's old P4, yes a P4, for a i5 from about 2016.
He watches YouTube and does a bit of web surfing and that's it. I'm only swapping out because it sounds like concord taking off and it takes forever to boot. He doesn't care.
So not everyone needs a pc that can watch a 4k video with Dolby Atmos surround sound while playing Final Fantasy 15 on secondary a 72" 8k monitor.
A dozen police turn up and say "We think a bunch of trouble makers are going to riot outside your shop". Can we have access to your camera.
In reality it's a bunch of people wanting civil rights, just matching and waving a few flags.
Then do the cops come back and say. Ok done, please revoke our access and permission?
I think not.
Don't save payment information!
I have two autistic girls (FFS stop using that as a pretext for everything). One us an absolute sod for guessing / watching her mum's passwords, but neither of us have payments stored.
If they want to buy something in Roblox (they have grown out of it mostly), we buy a Roblox gift card and added it directly to the Roblox account. Same for Fortnite etc.
Next week, kids buy stuff because parents left their cards laying around.
Yes because locking, climate control and charging is so much easier on a phone, rather than pressing the button right in front of you.
Car makers are only interested in leasing these days, but wait until dealers no longer can sell the cars after 3 years because no one wants to buy them.
Well they tried the.
"Are you sure?'
"This is untrusted,are you sure"
Then finally
" You've downloaded this random file from the internet. Are you sure? Yes we know you just asked, but this is probably a virus are you really fucking sure you dumb ass?
Blocking was the only answer to human stupidity.
Interesting you used "Calm down dear" considering that "dear" "love" and "pet" have been actively discouraged in English county council's where in fact it's non gender or race based. A classic example of trying to "be inclusive" by wiping out it's actual intent
"Casey Ellis, founder and CTO at security crowdsourcer Bugcrowd, told The Register that anyone whose WordPress site is hacked should migrate it to a SaaS host, where the security maintenance is outsourced to a third party and a web application firewall can be put up in front of the site."
Or....
Turn on Auto updates.
Install a backup solution
Install a WAF.
Stick it behind Cloudflare or Akami.
Not everyone's site is worth spending hundreds of Pounds a month on.

You clearly don't understand the US legal system.
Even a cursory glance will show you that there is a disproportionate amount of poor (mainly black) persons in prison. It's well known if you are poor, black you are more likely to go to prison for a minor crime, than a rich white person is for a major crime. Throw in the bias towards ethnical biased laws and the issue is multiplied. Add to that bail bonds the poor can't afford, then you are already in prison for a major length of time, even if innocent.
It's not known as the best legal system
"A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time
he got out three years from now just to commit more crime
A businessman is caught with 24 kilos, he's out on bail and out of jail and that's the way it goes"
See, as to prove my point, the lights on the bridge were playing up this morning and we had to all stop on the road due to a couple of lambs and their mum running up and down the main road.
I don't miss city commutes and the corporate slog one f**kng bit. Give me being skint and happy over that any day.
Nope. Turned off.
Sure there may be a terrorist attack in my rural village, or the river 50 metres below my house may flood, or ...or...hmmm.
Unless they are going to warn me about a cow in the road or the temporary traffic lights not working on the bridge do I have a 5 mile diversion, I'll skip it thanks
Let's face it, with our mob in charge, it'll be terrorist attack...next time man with a knife...then immigrants seen on a boat...then kids seen taking hippie crack in a park....then whatever the fuck the Daily Mail is whining about that week.
And we thought jobs had a reality distortion field.
Hi, I pissed you all off by allowing your brands to be associated with hate speech, but you're ok to come back and give me money, but don't ask not to appear next to hate speech.
Is that one way ticket to Mars any closer? Nope thought not. Shame.
"I wonder how much of Benny Hill's material today would pass master."
Having partly watched an episode a few weeks ago and saw a "Chinese" character, I'd say none of it. Some 70s stuff seems pretty racist, sexist and homophobic by today's standards, but it was a completely other level
