Description

In this episode...

Appears as though Windows 10 WiFi Sense could have some issues with WiFi -- more on this as it develops

Why is the default opt-in, and why in the world do I have to change my SSID to opt out?!

"Washington Post will encrypt the news"

Ridiculous click-bait headline
Is this a good idea? Should everything be HTTPS?

OPM hackers stole 21.5 million people worth of records

That's all government employees, past, present, and under-cover (possibly)
1.1 million biometrics (fingerprints) -- quick! go reset your fingerprints... oh wait
Bad --> worse --> catastrophic --> now what?

Katherine Archuletta, Director of OPM, resigns

Shock. Awe. Not.
Did everyone else see this one coming?
Does this change anything? Does her departure make anything better or is she the sacrificial lamb, the way Washington operates?
