GDPR? Many companies are sending "privacy

in order to comply with Europe's new General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR). It takes effect May 25th 2018.
The GDPR gives users control over how they want *their* data to be used.
The penalty of non-compliance is 4% of the company's
worldwide

The Internet of
Things (IoT)
Internet-connected
telemeters
(estimated
at 10 billion+growing exponentially) like
vehicles, home appliances, cameras, etc. for making future product
improvements are referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT).
The
Zigbee Alliance is a foundation that promotes Internet
of Things standards.
As a
security precaution *disconnect*
your Internet devices when NOT in
use.
IPv6
Internet
Protocol Version 6 128 bit address (IPv6 address) is more capable than
more limited IPv4 Internet 32 bit address scheme and provides more
control in the delivery of the information "packets"
sent from a *source* IP address to a *destination*
IP address through packet-switched networks that increases the Internet
quality of service (QoS) due
to more efficient, controlled routing. ipv6-test.com test-ipv6.com

Packet
Sniffers
Data are sent over the TCP/IP Internet network in data
packet envelopes.
A packet sniffer (like Wireshark)
is an application that monitors the traffic
flow of data packets fromsource IPaddresses
todestination
IPaddresses
of
1. your Internet connection
2. your LAN (local area network) (if
you have a computer network)
(Yourrouter
management
menu
will provide you with the IP
addresses that make up your
LAN.)
To find out who owns an outside IP address (one that is
NOT
yours),
Googlewhois
IP address.
Notice the client-server connection always begins with a "hello"
(handshake) string.
For Windows 10 "ipconfig (Run command)" gives you the IP address
of your PC or laptop(+your
router if you
have a LAN). -

Linux
is derived from the 1st 3 letters
of the 1st name of its Finnish
creator,
Linus Torvalds + the 1st 2
letters of
the Unix OS (operating system).
The core of the Linux OS is the
Linux kernel that controls memory
+ the hardware. .
Because it's modular, you can
install only what you need. .
It has a very small "footprint" as it
only uses resources on a as-needed
basis using minimal energy + leng-
thening the battery life of a laptop.
Its efficient use of computer re-
souces make it virus+malwarefree. .
It is an open-source OS (operating
system) that can run using a virtual
computer. You can also install it on
the OS you're using using a dual
boot system. (Backup you existing
OS if you're going to install a dual
boot system. Microsoft Windows
allows you to make a work image
of your current system.) .
Its system requirements allows
it to
run on older PCs (personal
computers)+laptops. .
Programmers like because of its
array of programming tools. .
It's the Android OS on mobile
phones + it's also Google's
Android OS. .
For its GUI
(graphic user interface)
it uses the
X Window System. .
Due to multiple versions of Linux,
their is a broad selection of desktop
designs (GUIs) ...
- Debian
- Ubuntu
- Linux Mint
They can all be installed on a
USB-stick
drive + used as a "live system" with write-
able partitions for saving settings+data:
it loads into the computer's memory with-
out touching the hard drive. .
They all offer multiple virtual desktops. .
Like Windows, they have a command
line. .
They all can run theFREEmultilingual
Libre
Office open-source productivity
suite (which is the equivalent of Micro-
soft Office) as well as other major ap-
plications like Firefox (an open-source
browser), Google's Chrome, YouTube
+ G-mail. .
