In the good ol’ days of blogging, traffic was the main goal, and it was relatively easy to get. Now, especially for ecommerce blogs, it’s getting harder to stay visible. The number of Google searches that end with a click is slowly decreasing, while the number of searches that end with no clicks has increased. While the number changes are small, they’re continuing to move in the direction of no-click searches. AI Overviews give people the answers they need at a glance, and website traffic is taking a toll as a result. Aside from these trends in Google search, ecommerce…
India has granted legal status to millions of gig and platform workers under its newly implemented labor laws, marking a milestone for the country’s delivery, ride-hailing and e-commerce workforce — yet with benefits still unclear and platforms beginning to assess their obligations, access to social security remains out of reach.

Social engineering attacks are probably still among the most used ways to actually infect a computer or steal someone’s data. A well executed social engineering attack can have some pretty nasty consequences. This one even involves a fake Windows Update screen to round things up. Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a…
Growing up in suburbia, being invited to dinner at a friend’s house was like finding Wonka’s golden ticket. We were feral ‘80s kids, and the entire neighborhood was our playground, so long as we were home by dark.

Since my mother was all about routines and repetition, dinners elsewhere meant something different, something new. I’d often end up at my friend Jenny’s house, whose mom was one of…
