"Watercooler"

Is this chatroom only for outdated information? Watercoolers are of decades ago. Watercoolers were around in businesses, before the time of computers; before the time of viruses in electronics. Viruses were common in places like car repair shops. Places of labor work. Is this a concern that Webroot is not updated?

Dame Vera Lynn: Forces' Sweetheart dies aged 103

She is a huge loss to the country, with the way she raised moral right from the World War 2 and through the recent Lockdown. A wonderful singer and person. “Six weeks ago, ahead of the 75th anniversary of VE Day and during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, Dame Vera said simple acts of bravery and sacrifice still define our nation. A week later, she became the oldest artist to get a top 40 album in the UK, beating her own record when her greatest hits album re-entered the charts at number 30.” Full Article.

What is everyone doing to keep themselves busy?

Hey there Webroot community! With everything going in the world, it’s no secret that most of us are stuck at home most of the time. Many of us (including Webroot) with office jobs are working from home, not seeing friends as often, and can’t go to restaurants or night clubs. Personally, most of my hobbies are social (DJ’ing, community arts) so my life has been very disrupted as a result of these changes. It’s been a huge challenge trying to figure out how to keep myself sane and busy during the past few months. My adjustments have involved live-streaming my DJ sets, exercising at home (pull up bar and lots of push-ups!) and now taking care of a new puppy that I got last week. I’m really curious what everyone else has done to modify their routines in the past few months? Have you been exercising more? Eating lots of comfort food? Learning something new? Please let me know in the comments below what you’ve been up to! Oh, and here is a bonus picture of my puppy, Mochi, so that you can al

'Murder hornets' may spread east from B.C. if not eradicated, entomologist says

TORONTO -- A Canadian entomologist says Asian giant hornets -- also known as ‘murder hornets’ -- have only been reported in B.C., but may spread to other provinces if successful colonies are established. "If [the hornets] survive well in British Columbia, I think the climatic zones that they can survive in would go up into pretty much all of Canada," University of Manitoba entomologist Robert Currie said in a telephone interview with CTVNews.ca on Monday. "They're restricted usually into kind of the warmer areas, but they do have the potential to migrate." The Asian giant hornet was first spotted in B.C. in August 2019, and this past December in Washington state. Officials in those regions have now issued warnings that the Vespa mandarinia species may be active again this spring as queens emerge from hibernation to build nests and form colonies. https://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/murder-hornets-may-spread-east-from-b-c-if-not-eradicated-entomologist-says-1.4923941

There's only one clear winner while we're all working from home

As COVID-19 continues to spread around the globe, more and more people (that are lucky enough) are working from home. For many, this new routine comes with plenty of challenges like social isolation and endless video conferencing mishaps. It’s not all bad though. Commuting to work is only as far as the distance between the bedroom and the kitchen. However, there’s one group that’s the clear winner in this new WFH world we all seem to be living in: our pets . Many of you have fur babies running around the house and we’d love to see them! Share your photos below of how you’re staying positive at home with your four-legged friends.

The Travel Thread!

Hey Webroot Community, I figured since I’ve been traveling in Japan for a couple weeks, it would be a good opportunity to start a larger travel thread! I know that we usually discuss cybersecurity related topics on here, but I feel like it’s important to bridge the gap to some other subjects and passions that we can all relate to. For me, Japan has always been at the top of my “Bucket List”. I’ve been interested in Japanese culture ever since I got into Anime and Video Games as a kid. The difference between Eastern and Western ideologies and culture was always such a fascinating topic to think about. Now that I’m here, it’s truly a dream come true! The locals are incredibly friendly and the food is fantastic. I have so many plans on my itinerary while I’m here – it will be a journey to try and fit all of it in! I’ll be going to a lot of the shopping districts here in Tokyo, including the giant Pokémon Center. After a few days in Tokyo, I’m headed over to Kyoto and Osaka for two days ea

Kirk Douglas, Acclaimed Actor, Dead at 103

Kirk Douglas, one of the great Hollywood leading men whose off-screen life was nearly as colorful as his on-screen exploits in movies like "Spartacus" and "Champion," has died, according to his son, actor Michael Douglas . He was 103. https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/05/entertainment/kirk-douglas-obit/index.html Note: I had the privilege of meeting and talking to Kirk Douglas during the filming of one of his movies onboard the USS Nimitz, "The Final Countdown" Very nice man to talk to. Also met some of the other actors in the movie: Martin Sheen, Katharine Ross, Charles Durning. R.I.P Kirk, it’s been a privilege meeting you.

Firefox Monitor

I searched for "Firefox Monitor" and found a post by J the R some time ago. A non-profit just emailed me a link to their newsletter, and Firefox warned me about the service they used to compose it. It was quite off-putting, but not to go too far afield in this post, I was told "Nobody uses Firefox anymore." So, if those other several folks that received the newsletter were not using Firefox, they'd be blissfully reading it. In my case I thought it was a potential PR problem. Is Firefox Monitor active by default?
