[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1068087, member: 176704"] THIS "One" [I]isn't[/I], but many, many "Others" ARE - think F/B, One Drive, Google Drive (etc.), and[I] then[/I] there are all those "keep you safe and avoiding losing your passwords [I]clould-based password managers[/I]" and proprietary on-line cloud storage backup offerings [I](which I wouldn't use anyway because once you start using one of those then you are probably locked into big on-going annual maintenance payments!)[/I].:rolleyes: Totally true for company's intranets, but most of their IT staff - including the head honchos - have probably never looked too much further than the providers's names/reputations AND the "bottom lines"! OTOH, if you're talking about local "home intranets" then they[I] should [/I]be easier to control - but in fact they most certainly aren't for most people who have a whole load of various devices connected to their home (mainly wireless) networks but have no idea how they work and how to protect them.:( And would I let an "Alexa" or similar device into this house? Not bloody likely, and I'll have to be very careful with the next TV (and it might be one from LG) I buy to switch off/cover up any potential "spying devices"! No more than usual :), but don't forget that that [I][B]I[/B][/I] didn't "invent" / "speculate about" the info behind the link in post #1 - it came via the EEWeb site!:eek: [/QUOTE]
