Curated media from the past few weeks:
I am rich and have no idea what to do with my life
In the tech-centric corners of the internet, this blog post went viral last week for its honesty and insight. Vinay, founder of Loom, shares his most personal thoughts on why money and fancy jobs aren’t the be-all-end-all. It’s not often we read something so real on a tech blog. Enjoy it.
🗯️Quotable Bit: “I would leave to do something. Anything. To be alive again. I had no idea. But I was hell bent on making sure everyone knew I had it all figured out. Out of ego. Out of fear of wading into the unknown. When you work on something that consumes your life for a decade, it’s hard to let go of the certainty and purpose you’ve grown accustomed to.”
The future of VPNs: Decentralized and post-quantum security
Are you unhealthily intrigued by what’s next for VPNs? Us too. There’s a first time for everything ;). From increased security via decentralized VPNs to the first quantum-resistant encryption standards to IoT home device coverage, 2025 is a big year for innovation in this space.
🗯️Quotable Bit: “When it comes to cybersecurity however, smart devices are generally some of the most vulnerable and least protected pieces on your home network. Cybercriminals love to exploit IoT devices and in many cases, simply hacking one device will give them access to everything else. VPNs are out to change this in the near future. By providing fully integrated home network security, a VPN can encrypt and protect communications for all of your devices.”
AI Hardware Is in Its ‘Put Up or Shut Up’ Era
It’s that time of the year… CES in Vegas, which means a ton of companies will try to sell AI features for their products. Again. Just like everyone else. This audio-article predicts the best ways for companies to actually use AI to help customers.
🗯️Quotable Bit: “If AI is their differentiator, then what happens when everyone has it? It’s now table stakes.”
