  • You create business accounts.
    Use them exclusively for business.
    Use a separate browser to access those accounts.
    Create a firewall as much as you can between the personal and professional online.

  • Slicing the hot dog bun is a standard part of it’s preparation and presentation. Not really part of this.

    And if you were presented a “Slice of pie” as A thing. It would in fact be a Taco.
    However If you were presented a whole pie and decided to slice it to eat it. “The Pie” would still be a 5 or 6. “The Slice” would be a 3. “The Pie” didn’t change by having a slice removed.

    Does that distinction make sense? “A Pie” is one thing. “A Slice of Pie” is a different thing.

    That does happen. But is that really what’s happening here? I can’t imagine it’s just a threat. It looks like the government is considering a law that makes Proton’s entire business model illegal in Switzerland. As a result it would only make sense for them to start working on moving elsewhere. It seems a completely natural, obvious, even necessary consequence.
