At this point I'm baffled that the entire world doesn't know that if somebody is asking you to buy them gift cards, you're being ripped off.

Do we need to legislate having big "FRAUD WARNING" signs on every gift card display, just like we need "do not use in bathtub" labels on hair dryers?

Tales from infosec...

Also the number of highly compensated tech workers who pirate software on the job. Guys, do not pirate shit at work!

Also: Companies, buy your employees software! It is super hard to talk an employer into spending money on software for productivity.

The market has provided these without legislation, at least near me.
