Yes, identity theft includes things as basic as using someone else's credit card. I learned that when I reported that someone rifled through our car, took a credit card, and tried to use it at a gas station.

It kinda surprised me.

We sync a shared folder with dropbox. Backup with backblaze.

Our local "copy" is basically our personal laptops. This has required manually upgrading our SSDs over the years though because we have around 1TB of photos and videos.

Our off-site copy is backblaze. We don't keep a non-cloud off-site copy.

This is for California, not sure about other states:

Note that whether you have a solid green or a green arrow matters. A solid green means you can turn left, but you might have cross traffic. A green arrow means you're protected and as long as other people are obeying traffic signals, you shouldn't run into other people.

Lots of drivers don't understand this.

Lots of drivers also don't understand a red right arrow (as opposed to a red solid circle) means you cannot turn right on red. Most "no right on red" intersections have both the arrow and a sign (and many drivers ignore both).

I had this problem when I first got a 30" monitor - I was constantly losing my mouse cursor, it took forever to move over to things, etc. To solve it I wrote a program for storing and restoring mouse cursor positions (along with focusing the app under it) and it really helped.

It was nice being able to have multiple windows visible at once when I was doing things, and to be able to switch between them quickly. Mobility was basically not a problem since the mouse instantly moved to the location I expected it to.

Nowadays I mostly use the keyboard and just use standard hotkeys to switch the app, mostly because I've been too lazy to see if my program still works.
