Should you be using a more private office suite instead?Microsoft Office is one of the most used suites of programs worldwide. They have become so common that their programs have worked their way into our daily vocabulary, and they set the standards for document formats. It turns out that they collect a lot of data from their users, both when used online via their collaborative tooling, and "offline" with their downloaded software. Microsoft is also very closed lipped about the details of their data collection. We dive into a report that recently came out of Germany looking at the privacy of Microsoft. We also look at a privacy-focused office suite alternative, LibreOffice, and how it compares.00:00 Intro00:42 What is Microsoft’s Office Suite?01:37 Online vs Offline Products03:08 Connected Experiences04:27 Microsoft’s Data Collection

We certainly see and hear this sentiment echoed everywhere we go, along with claims that “online tracking is harmless”, and that “if you’ve got nothing to hide, you shouldn’t care”. In this video, we chat with Vivaldi Technology CEO Jon von Tetzchner to debunk 4 myths about privacy.00:00 Intro00:51 Myth 1 - Privacy is Dead04:45 Myth 2 - Online Tracking is Harmless08:00 Myth 3 - It’s Not Personal Information10:13 Myth 4 - Surveillance is Normal12:35 What’s at Stake13:07 ConclusionStop believing these people who tell us that we shouldn't bother protecting our privacy. The only way to preserve privacy in our lives is to value it and fight for it. We are empowered human beings, who can make better choices about the tech that we use, and we can opt for more privacy-preserving options.

One way to help protect your more important devices is to keep them on a separate network, and create firewall rules that block your insecure devices from talking to any other network. Your firewalls are a crucial part of your privacy and security setup. You can think of them like a bouncer at a building, deciding who is allowed to enter and who is not. In this video we show you how to create a separate network for your insecure devices like IoT devices. We then show you how to create firewall rules to silo these devices on the separate network, so that they can't access any of your important devices on other networks. 00:00 Intro00:38 What is a Basic Firewall?02:13 What is a Next Gen Firewall? 03:38 Network Segmenting04:00 Video Overview04:45 Enabling OPT1 and OPT2 Interfaces05:39 Creating our OPT1 and OPT2 Networks08:02 DHCP09:
